Colleague LIB-UA044 Description An account of the resource By the early 1950s, the University of Buffalo had expanded from a small group of autonomous schools into a modern university with 14 divisions and a central campus. No longer a small community, the university recognized that communication among staff and faculty was becoming increasingly haphazard. The newsletter Colleague was established in March, 1952 to ameliorate the situation. In October 1970, Colleague continued as an insert of the Reporter until it ceased publication in 1972.

The students are at Deaconess Hospital with Dr. Bernard Eisenberg, clinical assistant professor in pediatrics, and a resident. Medical Transfer Students Dr. Aquilina (standing} and Dr. Farzan (left} talk to the students at the Meyer Memorial Hospital. There are 14 new faces in the junior medical class at the University. They are American students, who have studied the last two years (except for two) in six foreign medical schools. Prior to joining the junior class August 24, the "medical transfer students" took an intensive two-week orientation program. Dr. Joseph T. Aquilina, clinical professor in medicine, and Dr. Sattar Farzan, clinical assistant professor of medicine, conducted the program. The first week the new students attended lecture-demonstrations on the cardiovascular system, and central nervous system at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. During the second week the students got practical experience at Deaconess and Sister's Hospitals. The students worked up patient histories, performed laboratory tests and did physical diagnosis. Then on August 24 they were integrated into the junior class. These transfer students were carefully screened. All completed the equivalent of the first two years of medical school at a foreign university and have passed Part I of the National Medical Board examination. They were unable to get into an American Medical School as freshman. All plan to practice medicine in the United States. Buffalo accepted more "junior transfer students" than any of the other 16 American medical schools. "This is an innovative program for Buffalo," Dr. Acquilina said, "and one we hope to repeat every year." These students attended universities in Guadalajara, Bologna, Brussels, Beirut, Louvain, and Lausanne. They represent the states of Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and New York.D , �----- WINTER, 1970 --- Volume 4, Number 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN Published by the School of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo IN THIS ISSUE EDITORIAL BOARD Medical Transfer Students inside front cover Editor ROBERTS.

Second International Immunology Convocation Dr. Buruj Benacerraf "Anyone who understands what is going on has not yet seen all of the data." This about summed up the second international convocation on immunology attended by over 400 physicians and research scientists at Buffalo's Statler Hilton Hotel. Most agreed that the area of immunogenetics should now receive a large share of attention as the exact nature of a series of individual and distinct steps in the genetic control of the immune system is yet to be understood. In three and one half days of informative programs on both current and future trends in the areas of immunologic studies by a host of renowned participants, it was agreed that although the greatest advances in the past have been made in the area of immunochemistry immunoglobulin structure and biosynthesisthe charge has now been passed to the cellular immunologists. �This second in a series of biennial convocations, sponsored by the Center for Immunology established in 1967 under the direction of Dr. Ernest Witebsky, was dedicated to the distinguished professor of bacteriology and immunology who died unexpectedly on December 7, 1969. The program committee (Drs. Stanley Cohen, Gustavo Cudkowicz, James Mohn) was chaired by Dr. Robert T. McCluskey. There was an evening of chamber music and a buffet at the Albright Knox Gallery. And there was a plea for greater commitment by scientists to end the war in Vietnam by San Diego biologist Richard Dutton, who opened the technical session on properties of immunocompetent cells in transfer systems. Its main theme was that the immune response depends on the interaction of multiple cell types. Macrophages play a role in "processing" antigens and in rendering them more immunogenic to lymphocytes. There are two types of lymphocytes. One, under thymic influence at some stage in its development, is "thymus-dependent" or "thymus-derived." The second, which does not have this requirement, is "thymusindependent" or "bone marrow-derived." While thymus-dependent cells play a role in delayed hypersensitivity, transplantation immunity as well as in other aspects of cellular immunity, marrow-derived cells act independently or in cooperation with thymus-derived cells to produce humoral antibodies. WINTER, 1970 Dr. Gustavo Cudkowicz Drs. Robert T. McCluskey, Felix Milgram. 3 �• _.........,,._._ _ _ _ " Dr. Thomas Tomasi and Dr. John Bienenstock between sessions. NII-I's William Paul described experiments in which actions of different cell populations could be separated by their responses to antigen molecules that were chemically bound to inert, insoluble materials. But Swiss Walter Pierpaoli pointed out that these various events may be under hormonal control. The pituitary gland and hypothalamus, he said, may play a major role. Some of the different types of immunoglobulins produced in both animal and man were described by Buffalo professor of medicine Thomas Tomasi. He specifically pointed to the behavior of IgA that is synthesized in plasma cells located near epithelial mucosal cells. This specific immunoglobulin may react with a substance called secretory piece that is synthesized by the epithelial cells which aids its transport to sites of invading microorganisms. The session on genetic regulation of immune response opened with NIH's Ira Greene presenting evidence that the immune response in guinea pigs to certain synthetic polypeptides behaves as though it were under the control of a dominant autosomal gene. Similar observations, he pointed out, have been made in other species. What Stanford's Hugh McDevitt found highly significant was that genes which control specific immune responses are either closely linked to or identical with genes which code for histocompatibility antigens. This suggests that in mechanisms of immunity, histocompatibility antigens may be involved in an 4 I as yet undetermined manner. "This is reassuring," said one of the participants who pointed out the only well documented function of histocompatibility antigens is that of frustrating the surgeon's attempt at organ replacement in both man and animal. When attention is turned to transplantation, the situation becomes more complex than previously suspected, said Buffalo's professor of microbiology and pathology Gustavo Cudkowicz. He presented evidence that the rejection of both bone marrow and skin grafts involves different mechanisms. How are all of these complex events initiated? This was yet another conference theme that pointed to the interaction of antigen in some way with receptors on immunocompetent cells. Cornell internist Gregory Siskind described experiments which detailed the biochemical aspects of this interaction, while Buffalo associate professor of pathology Stanley Cohen presented a mathematical model that related these findings to problems of antibody formation and tolerance. Mechanisms do exist, pointed out Roswell Park's David Pressman, to suppress certain responses. Animals and man often respond to an antigen in very limited ways. Conference attention then shifted to delayed hypersensitivity, the importance of a dual role for macrophages, effector cells in delayed reaction, and processing cells for antigens. Albert Einstein's Barry Bloom described his work on the chemical mediators of delayed responses THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Noel Rose greets a colleague, Dr. Paul Maurer. Dr. Stanley Cohen makes a point with Dr. Barry Bloom. such as MIF, a substance which prevents migration of macrophages in vitro. Peter Ward of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology then showed that sensitized lymphocytes can make a variety of soluble factors which are important in delayed hypersensitity. He described a chemotactic factor which can attract inflammatory cells . These in vitro experiments were related to the situation in the intact animal by Buffalo pathology chairman Robert McCluskey who discussed mechanisms which enable lymphocytes to "home in" on specific sites in the body. In these mechanisms, cell surface constituents are important. Ted Brunner from Lausanne showed that lymphocytes could destroy target cells in vitro. This probably plays a role, he emphasized, in both transplantation and in resistance to disease. The killing of microorganisms by macrophages, pointed out George Mackaness of the Trudeau Institute, depends on the immunological activity of lymphocytes. And it is related to delayed hypersensitivity, he said. The final session centered on autoimmunity and transplantation. The current status of work in these fields was summarized by London immunopathologist Leslie Brent. In experiments on spontaneously occurring thyroiditis in chickens carried on with the late Dr. Witebsky, Buffalo professor of microbiology Noel Rose pointed out that this disease may be under genetic control and associated with circulating antibodies. Relative roles of humoral antibody and delayed hypersensitivity in the rejection of grafts in animals were described by Buffalo chairman of microbiology Felix Milgram. In what he categorized as his underview of cellular organization of the immune system, Dr. Paul, pinch-hitting for Dr. Baruj Benacerraf, summed up the conference. Multiple cellular interactions which occur in the immune response and the genetic mechanisms which control and regulate them are important. Activities of immunocompetent cells by antigens lead to a variety of events including cell proliferation, antibody formation, delayed hypersensitivity, and in some cases intolerance. Various chemical mediators, the NIH scientist pointed out, are produced which then modify the behavior of other cells. These complex interrelationships, he concluded, form the basis of immunity in both man and animals, and are now being slowly unraveled. D 5 �.. - - · - - - ~ -- ~ . t A NEW RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY at the Univer- Medical Rehabilitation Laboratory sity will not only develop new diagnostic, therapeutic, and orthotic devices to amplify the weak muscles of the handicapped, but it will also provide employment for the handicapped to manufacture perfected devices in their sheltered workshops. The laboratory is located at the Bell Plant, a campus annex located at 2050 Elmwood Avenue. The rehabilitation medicine/ engineering laboratory, under the aegis of the University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc., is headed by Mr. J. Sam Miller. The young assistant clinical research professor in rehabilitation medicine, who holds a master's degree in electrical engineering from Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, will continue work which began at Cornell Laboratory about ten years ago, when an exoskeleton - it amplifies man's strength in military space situations - was studied there under a Navy contract. Worn over the body, this device would be capable of duplicating the full range of body movements in an unrestricted manner. While the problem of powering it remained to be solved, the team wondered whether its principle could be applied to the medical field. The result by them and scientists from the University and the Veterans Hospital was an exoelbow or myotron, as it is called, which duplicates the movement of the arm (flexion and extension at elbow and rotation at shoulder joint). When the patient's arm is placed inside an open sleeve structure and dials on a control board are turned the patient can do any number of things. After resigning from CAL when its sale by Cornell University threatened its future as a nonprofit laboratory, Mr. Miller joined the Sanders Associates at a new research and development electronics facility. Here, he and fellow engineers worked with the University, E. J. Meyer Hospital, and the University of New Brunswick (Canada), to instrument a powered arm brace with a control system which responds to weak muscular efforts of a patient. An experimental model of this device is to be evaluated at the new laboratory as a functional brace that enables certain paralyzed patients to make voluntary coordinated arm motions. ~~~~---·· 6 Engineer Ed Zurbuch instructs Anna Paradisi in driver training. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN -- �Early this year when Sanders closed its Buffalo office, Mr. Miller approached the University of Buffalo Foundation. Why not continue applying engineering techniques to rehabilitation medicine in close affiliation with the University and its teaching hospitals? Meyer Hospital, after all, is one of the state's chief rehabilitation centers. A $10,000 seed grant opened Mr. Miller's laboratory. He serves as its director; Dr. William P. Walsh, staff physician at the Meyer and instructor in medicine, serves as its part time medical director; Edward J. Zurbuch as its staff engineer; and John P. Curran is staff technician. Said Mr. Miller, "The challenge in our laboratory is great." He pointed to the 3,370,000 orthotic patients in this country whose weakened, deformed or paralyzed muscles require bracing. "With just a bit of residual muscular effort, many patients suffering paralysis from either stroke, some type of muscular dystrophy or spinal cord injuries, as well as post polio victims, would theoretically be able to produce desired motions through use of such a powered brace." In the new laboratory, which will also serve as an educational facility for the Health Sciences Center, work will proceed on such things as instruments to measure more precisely the condition of joints and muscle functions, and the use of driver/trainer simulators by physically handicapped. But to reach the year-end goal of a staff of 11, $70,000 remains to be raised from private and government sources. "If our envisioned instrument programs are successful, in three years our nonprofit laboratory should gross over six million dollars, a portion of which would be plowed back into research, scholarships, etc. But with additional fund support, the development of other types of powered orthotic devices, a research instrument for neuromuscular disorder studies, improvement in operations of standard braces, a powered arm assist, and therapy devices for stroke rehabilitation are also possible," Mr. Miller said.D Pediatric Nephrology Dr. Mitchell I. Rubin will direct a postgraduate course in Pediatric Nephrology April 5-7. Diagnosis, management, pathophysiology and etiology of common renal disorders will be reviewed by clinicians, radiologists, immunologists and pathologists. The participants will be encouraged to participate in seminars concerning patients with glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, urinary tract infection, renal tubular disease, obstructive uropathy, hematuria, orthostatic proteinuria and acute and chronic renal failure. Faculty will consist of both members of the faculty of the State University of New York at Buffalo and visiting faculty. D WINTER, 1970 7 John P. Curran, staff technician, models the power arm brace while Mr. Miller (left] and Dr. William P. Walsh, clinical instructor in medicine, evalute the procedure. �The new class hear from President Ketter and Dean Pesch. The 1974 Class Orientation. From Dean LeRoy A. Pesch they learned that they were the first class in the history of the medical school to register into an elective curriculum and that their biggest challenge would not be to get through medical school- "you are all well qualified" but to become part of the inevitable process of change of which all institutions, including this one, are a part. There is no one right way to solve problems, he said to the 125 freshmen, but "I hope you will find that you are, will have, will become part of the process of change." From the new president Robert L. Ketter, who found it difficult to think of incoming medical students as freshmen, they learned that 125 years ago the University started out as a medical school. "There is a heritage," he said. And there was registration, photographs, tours, and decisions to be made regarding electives to round out class schedules, a hotdog roast, and a faculty I student reception. But when the incoming class, on its second day at medical case presentation, moderated by Dr. Joseph Acquilina, learned that collectively they knew a substantial amount of knowledge, they were ebullient. "Ask questions, make a diagnosis based on a personal history taking," said the clinical professor in medicine as he introduced the first patient, Mr. X, to the class. 10 President Robert L. Ketter. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Yes, Mr. X responded to a student, he had family problems. Divorced, the father of two children, he planned to remarry next year. Yes, to a second student, he drank heavily as did his father who died recently of a coronary occlusion. His job? Professor. Yes, this did subject him to abnormal stresses and strains. But the 40-year-old, jaundiced patient had no galbladder problems or pain in his body, but there had been a pronounced weight loss. "What is the problem?" asked Dr. Acquilina of the class. Cirrhosis of liver was their response. "You are learning one of the fundamental skills of medicine- how to communicate with the patient." And he pointed to the tremendous amount of information they had accumulated from the patient. But what are the factors that led this patient to drink? Pressures from family, health, occupation, was the class reply. And Mr. X was the product of these factors. A picnic of hot dogs and beer. From the second patient, 52-year-old Mr. Addington who had served in three wars, the class learned that he suffered from intensive pain in the abdominal region. An air force pilot for over 20-odd years, and an engineer on a merchant marine ship, he was now a widower and the father of a married daughter and a staff sergeant son. No, he did not think that he had severe emotional problems. No, he was not a heavy drinker but he did like a good beer and he did smoke heavily, three packs a day. Yes, he did have pain after eating, about 30 minutes after, and especially if the food was spicy. What did a GI series show? It confirmed a chronic, intractable ulcer in the small bowel. Pointed out one student to the class, smoking increases gastric secretion and affects blood vessels. "Here again," summed up Dr. Acquilina, "while we have not examined the patient, we have been able to make a diagnosis by learning how to communicate with the patient."D Mr. Addington, Dr. Acquilina. ----.,...-----.,...-- �I -------·· 601 Pay Medical Alumni Dues A total of 601 physicians contribu ted $12,068.00 in dues to the Medical Alumni Association during 1970.

D Promotions to Research Assistant Professor: to Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, who has been Provost of the Faculty of Health Sciences since September 14, 1967, has submitted his resignation effective February 1, 1971 or as soon as a successor has been selected. Dr. Surgenor came to the University in 1960 as professor and head of biochemistry. In 1962 he was named Dean of the School of Medicine, a position he held until July 1, 1968. He has returned to teaching and research as a professor of biochemistry in the Medical School. Among the reasons for his resignation cited by Dr. Surgenor were the considerable workloads attached to his chairmanship of two nationally prominent committees in the health sciences - the National Blood Resources Advisory Committee and the International Committee on Thrombosis and Hematosis. These chairmanships are for terms of three and two years respectively. President Robert L. Ketter expressed his deep appreciation to Dr. Surgenor for his outstanding contributions to the University over the last decade. During his tenure as Dean of the Medical School and Provost of the Faculty, the growth in the quality and range of the University's research and instructional programs in the health scienr.es has repeatedly attracted national attention. D Dr. Ranney Joins Faculty Dr. Helen Ranney is the new professor of medicine. She is a 1941 cum laude graduate of Barnard College, and received her M.D. from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University in 1947. Dr. Ranney comes to Buffalo from Albert Einstein College of Medicine where she has been a professor of medicine since 1965. She has been on the Columbia and Yeshiva University faculties and served in several hospitals in the New York metropolitan area. Dr. Ranney has authored or co-authored 43 papers and articles on hemoglobin. She is based at the Meyer Memorial Hospital, with teaching assignments in her specialty at two other affiliated hospitals, Buffalo General and Veterans. D WINTER, 1970 17 Clinical Instructor: Doctor Provost Resigns Dr. Surgenor �------ -. Student Summer Fellowships Medicine occupied at least fifty-three freshman, sophomore and junior medical students this summer. While forty-five remained in the Buffalo area to work in the fields of clinical, research or family practice, six selected other American cities in which to obtain a different type of medical experience, while two journeyed to the University of Cambridge for a foreign flavor in clinical hematology. They were recipients of $500 summer fellowships. Together with faculty sponsors of their choice, they proposed a summer program to a six-member fellowship committee headed by Dr. Frank C. Kallen. The three basic sciences and an equal number of clinical members then allocated available committee support funds to the applicants on a competitive basis. "These students obtained a learning experience they may not otherwise have had." pointed out Dr. Kallen. "While six worked in family practice, an area not yet covered in the curriculum, others were exposed to research or clinical areas that were unfamiliar to them." FAMILY PRACTICE Johnson, David L.

Dr. Boyer was born in Dayton, Ohio, received MA degrees from Ohio State University and the University of Southern California. He also has his doctorate from USC in speech pathology and audiology.D 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �0 UR PURPOSE in meeting here today is to accord honor to those of you who have achieved excellence in the study of medicine. On previous occasions when I have been given the opportunity, I have attempted to concentrate on the problems facing this nation with regard to the delivery of health services to all people. Today, however, I would like to speak of another matterone which is of extraordinary importance today in the life of universities and to the future of medicine and health care. This is the absolute essentiality of our continuing commitments to intellect, to science, and to excellence. I would like to begin with the description of a physician. He is the doctor as he appeared at the time of the beginnings of American medicine. Medicine at that time was rather medieval in character. It had been authoritarian since the time of Hippocrates. It had finally run into scholasticism and intellectual stagnation. In addition, it had probably declined somewhat in quality in the process of exportation from Europe into the new world. The doctors who came to this country crossed a dangerous ocean and invaded a hostile continent. They accompanied other pioneers and settled where they pleased. The doctors probably were distributed fairly adequately with respect to need, in contrast to the picture today. In New England, at least, some of these men were members of the Puritan Clergy. They resolved to migrate to America, and took the precaution of also obtaining a medical education before embarking. They were equipped to care for the bodies as well as the souls of their flocks in the wilderness. All of these doctors had their heritage of old world medicine to guide them. But what had they to offer their patients in their new circumstances? Some had elementary knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and materia medica, a bag of drugs and a few technical gadgets of one sort or another. This was their only equipment. Their method of practice was highly empirical. They purged, they puked, they sweat, and they bled, especially the last- all on the basis of tradition rather than on experience or of a scientifically proven fact. Their drugs were chiefly medicinal herbs, generically called "simples" which they also used in accordance with accepted custom. They could do very little for their patients beyond relieving certain symptoms and bestowing comfort and moral support. In those days, the health care crisis was characterized by one deadly epidemic after another. The system, as it existed then, was totally incapable of dealing with smallpox, measles (very deadly in those days), scarlet fever, plague, typhus, diphtheria, and many others. Fortunately, the epidemics at least left behind a considerable number of immune survivors whose presence in the community tended to slow up the rate of spread in subsequent epidemics. Because of the ineffectiveness with which medicine could deal with these problems, attempts were made to block their importation by the establishment of quarantines in the ports. These were restrictions which were perforce imposed by government, and thus we may see that, even at that early time, the principle of governmental responsibility for the safeguarding of health was established. WINTER, 1970 21 From the desk of Dean LeRoy A. Pesch Commitments to intellect, to science, and to excellence was the theme of Dean Pesch's talk at the Medical School Convocation October 14, 1970. �Dean Pesch Such briefly, is the background and heritage of American medicine and it remained so almost until the turn of the present century. Of all of the momentous events which stirred American medicine around the turn of the present century, one is perhaps the most significant of all. That one is really an outgrowth of three others, the first of which was the opening of the Johns Hopkins Medical School and Hospital in 1889. The second was the great events which surrounded the establishment in 1903 of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, and the third was the publication in 1910 of the Flexner Report on medical education. The blend of these three events was much better than the sum of the ingredients and it combined to constitute an uplifting force in American medicine which has been felt ever since. It was really the birth of scientific medicine in this country. I interpret scientific medicine to signify the making available in the care of the patient all that basic medical science has to offer, which may benefit him. In other words, putting the great corpus of medical knowledge at the patient's service. I will not describe the practitioner as he exists today. Because of the tremendous growth, proliferation in the institutions, and specialties which constitute the broad picture of the practitioner today, it would be impossible to describe him. However, suffice to say that the present-day physicians' professional forebearers of the 19th century and earlier, practiced medicine in a serenely individualistic and leisurely manner, not permitted by our present society. Now the doctor is inevitably part of a great social structure which we may call American medicine or in the popular phraseology, the health forces of the nation. He is surrounded by, and dependent upon a host of other professional peoplenurses, social workers, therapists of many kinds, administrators, and technicians of endless variety. In short, the problems which face us as a profession in this country and the world today are an outgrowth of our own development. The solution to these problems, however, in my estimation, will be dependent upon the wisdom with which we continue to dissect out and understand the true differences- as was done 70 years ago- between what health care professionals do and what is their purpose. The primary thread in this regard in the evolution of medicine, as well as other professions has been to execute the function of taking the abstractions of science and applying them to the concrete and practical affairs of men. This is not the only thing which physicians and other health professionals do. However, it is their primary purpose. The professions must bridge the spectrum of truth to application. Science on the one hand, can insist on ignoring questions of purpose in order to be objective and precise- the professions cannot. Thus, the ultimate application of truth to the practical world must be a mix which accepts its purpose as a mix of accepted traditional values, and the science which is the profession's intellectual base. 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The purpose of these brief remarks is to bring into focus the necessity of our continued, strong, unabating commitments to intellect, to science, and to excellence; in all we do in accepting and applying scientific objectivity and precision, together with accepted traditional values about the quality of the human condition, to the quality of the health care we provide. For although the problems seem enormous as we look at society today, the problems can only be solved if we use the effective tools which have been used in the past successfully to come to grips with equally momentous problems. The tools are simple- the basic tools of medicine are its science as a source of truth, its institutions which proclaim its truths, and the human resources which act to apply them to public affairs and to the problems of mankind.D Dr. Philip B. Wels, Buffalo surgeon, has been named director of the new Office of Academic Affairs at Millard Fillmore Hospital. The office is under the sponsorship of the School of Medicine and the hospital. Approximately 60 sophomore, junior and senior medical students will receive on the spot instruction in obstetrics, surgery, and medicine and they will be able to pursue electives in other hospital departments, such as x-ray, pathology and anesthesiology. The school will give academic credits for work done at the hospital. Dean LeRoy Pesch said that Dr. Wels will be responsible for developing programs of interest to Medical School undergraduates, and that he will also coordinate all of the student educational activities with the school. Millard Fillmore Hospital has had a long affiliation with the Medical School. "The establishment of this office and the appointment of Dr. Wels marks an important step in the development of closer relationships between the University and the community it serves and will provide a broadened base of educational experience for our students," Dean Pesch said. Dr. Wels has been on the University faculty since 1950, and is now clinical professor of surgery and former assistant dean of the school. He also joined the hospital's medical staff in 1950 and is now chairman of the department of surgery. Dr. Wels is a 1941 UB Medical School graduate. Commenting on the new office, Mr. Leon Carson, hospital administrator, said, "Millard Fillmore Hospital is happy to offer its facilities for training of undergraduates, and feels that under Dr. Wels this will be a rewarding and interesting experience for the students."D WINTER, 1970 23 Dr. Wels Heads Millard Fillmore Academic Program �Dr. Roger Egeberg Speaks on Health Care The editors attended an American Medical Writers Association meeting September 21, 1970 where Dr. Roger Egeberg spoke on health care. Some of his thoughts follow. "The majority of Americans have no ideas as to what the health care crisis means," said assistant secretary for health and scientific affairs, U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Roger Egeberg. "They buy health insurance, see a doctor, go to a hospital, get better, and that is that. "But there are grave flaws in our system for delivery of health care, and we have no ideas as to how these flaws can be dealt with." The demand for health services, he cautioned, cannot be met with rising expectations or affluence. He questioned whether the product has been oversold in relation to our ability to deliver. "There is poor distribution of health care and an inbalance in supply and demand. And for the 30 million poor, 170 million middle class which includes doctors, and 500,000 rich, the distribution of health care remains a middle class affair." For the 270,000 (most of whom are blacks), transportation remains a problem. Before the riots in Watts, there was no bus service for the 50,000 blacks living there. If they needed to go to the nearest hospital for medical care, it meant one hour and three quarters by the nearest bus at a cost of $1.75. And for the 30 million poor who may suffer from gas gangrene and pesticides, there is little or no health care in this country. Contradictions in health care were implied when he pointed to those with health insurance who are sent to the hospital even though they don't need to be there. When Dr. Egeberg came to HEW, he thought health was one of the most important problems in the country. But he found that this was not so. Welfare problems were so bad that this was perhaps why health did not get the attention that it should. But there is a change. As he now travels around the country, he sees that people are beginning to get interested in health. "What we are trying to do," he said, "is to bring together the fragmentation in delivery of health care. Our infant mortality rate is 17th in the world and in some other areas we are ranked 12th," he said. While our life expectancy for millions has dropped compared with other countries, this does not hold true for the middle class. What he feels should be done is to focus rather than tear down a system that is working and needs support. "Woefully short of 50,000 physicians and 200,000 nurses, we are working toward and are organized to take medical care where it is most needed. We need to educate people. While government will not determine how we deal with health care or health professionals, it will be resolved as the public allows." Maldistribution and health care are two important issues of health plans with a changing emphasis from the purchase of health care to ability to deliver. A profession that is conservative, as is the medical profession, cannot handle these problems, according to Dr. Egeberg. 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The average doctor, he pointed out, works at least 65 hours per week. As an efficient coordinator, the present task is to focus what is needed to accomplish our needs- getting more health professionals, setting up places in which they can practice, creating clinics, an image for a slum, and to get people there who are willing to create that image. One possible mechanism to get doctors to go to such clinics, he said, may be legislation. Recent graduates should go to villages where there is no medical care. In this village there would be an organization with a hospital backup. "We need to get people who can do the job," he said. "While visiting nurses will increase the number of hands available for health care, our aim is to create physicians who want to take care of people, people who have esprit de corps." The average cost per year per medical student is $17,000 and this sum antes up to $24,000 for the married medical student. "But what do we do about research funds?" asked a former medical school dean. "Yes, we do need research to get a scientific base to medicine," answered Dr. Egeberg. "One has to be exposed to research, with perhaps seven to eight percent of the medical class ultimately ending up in this field. But there is a stringent federal budget with a major problem to kill inflation. And the government has voted health care to the people- Medicare/Medicaid -and is therefore committed to educate physicians. "We must curb health care inflation," Dr. Egeberg said. He suggested graduated hospital fees starting at perhaps $150.00 per day for the acute patient to $15.00 per day for the patient who can eat in the hospital dining room and make his own bed. We also must place more emphasis on ambulatory care and perhaps limit the fees of doctors and others on the health team. But histories will be taken by other than a physician as well as tests before the doctor sees the patient. As tests become cheaper, hundreds can be done more profitably, and the physician can see a patient with no symptoms, thus practicing preventive medicine.D Continuing Medical Education Eleven Continuing Medical Education programs have been scheduled during March, April, May and June.

Plunkett and Sister Kathryn Zelenski ready red cell lysis in gel. Blood Group Research of a worldwide collaborative effort and an international reputation in blood group research. Were its beginnings, as in many discoveries, by accident or by design? For Dr. James F. Mohn, it began a year before he received his medical degree from the University of Buffalo and it "just seemed to happen." In 1943 Dr. Ernest Witebsky introduced his student, who had proven his competence, to blood group research. Appointed official host to all department of bacteriology and immunology visitors, the young immunologist met many of the "giants" in the field. It proved to be the beginning of an ongoing exchange of information and ideas. But what brought international attention and fame to Buffalo five years later (1948) was the first formal Congress of the International Society of Hematology which met at the Hotel Statler. Attended by blood group immunologists from all over the world, it was the genesis of a close comaradie between many of the participants and Dr. Mohn, who served as its general secretary. T WENTY-FIVE YEARS 26 At a Congress meeting in Cambridge (1950), Dr. Mohn presented findings on a study completed two years earlier in which he proved that the investigator was measuring a spectrum of Rh antibody activities and not just peaks or points as it was believed. Plans were laid for a sabbatical with Cambridge's renowned Dr. R. R. A. Coombs, who also consented to participate in the dedication of Capen Hall, a building which Dr. Mohn was active in planning. He met Harri Nevanlinna, director of the Finnish Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service at a Congress meeting in 1956. A chance meeting in London ten years later culminated in arranging for Dr. Nevanlinna to come to Buffalo to initiate a collaborative investigation of a new blood group variant in the Finnish population, and to expand earlier research efforts to include all blood group A variants. This has led to Buffalo as the center for the finest collection in the world. The proposed sabbatical at Cambridge had to wait until a call to serve with the U. S. Armed Forces for the second time was completed by Dr. Mohn. The next two years at the then Army Medical Service Graduate School of Walter Reed Army Medical Center proved to be fruitful for the young immunohematologist. It was here where he crystallized certain ideas and initiated pilot studies, where he developed a better method to prepare serum and to preserve it by drying. The first to freeze red cells with liquid nitrogen, he and a collaborator used only needles and syringes. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �~. Because red blood cell agglutination is both sensitive and visual, Dr. Mohn felt that blood groups would be useful in learning some of the fundamental principles of human antigen/ antibody reactions, and of how a red cell agglutination system works. By studying those specifically directed against erythrocyte antigens, he was certain that a great deal could be learned about human antibodies. "It is a model system, a way to study human isoantigens and antibodies, and it is the groundwork on which all work in transplantation rests." When he returned to Buffalo in 1955, he was charged by Dr. Witebsky to establish a blood group research unit. This left his mentor free to turn his attention toward some earlier interests. A small grant from the Buffalo Research Associates enabled Dr. Mohn and postdoctoral fellow Reginald M. Lambert to equip their new laboratory. They set out to characterize blood group antibodies both physically and chemically, something that had not been done successfully. Why couldn't globulins that differ both physically and chemically be responsible for the various serologically detectable activities, they asked? Their application for NIH funds to support this research was countered with "why haven't you published recently?" Explained Dr. Witebsky to the " powers that be," if you are busy creating a graduate program and founding an animal unit, there is little time left for research. NIH funds were eventually received together with a small Mercke, Sharpe, and Dohm grant to cover a study on A and B substances. Dr. Mohn watches as technicians Hilde Miller left and Jo Ann C. Osmola identify antibodies in the reference service. !I Helping Dr. Lambert ready cold hemagglutination from a low temperature water bath is technician Kathryn B. Cunningham. Dr. Mohn envisioned the development of standardized techniques that would allow a comparison of laboratory results throughout the world. In terms of research productivity , it meant a halt to search for a method or instrumentation to make this possible. "If we wanted to preserve cells, it meant some years to develop the technique to do so." In 1968 a freezing technique was developed and the ultimate preservation of blood group variants is now possible. Early research on hemolytic disease of the newborn brought the human blood groups into its renaissance. There was collaboration with the department of gynecology and obstetrics, discussions, and meetings. When a rare antibody was identified , the obstetrician was informed. There is ::1lso the Unit's commitment to teaching and to service. When the cost to the Unit for all County blood group reference work became prohibitive, Dr. Mohn asked for County financial support. Erie County Commissioner of Health William Mosher's response was a pioneering contractual arrangement between the Erie County Laboratories, and the University thus allowing the Blood Group Unit to charge only nominal fees for reference cases from outside of Erie County. The gap between research and patient care narrowed appreciably with Dr. Mohn's clinical appointment to area hospitals- he is currently director of Buffalo General Hospital's blood bank, consultant in immunohematology for Erie County Laboratories and to the Veteran's Hospital. With the establishment of the 27 �- • . Research conference on ABO Blood Group with Dr. Robert K. Cunningham, Dr. Mohn, and Dr. John K. Rose (right) . Clinical Laboratory Act as State law in 1965, came the appointment of Dr. Mohn as one of two consultants on blood banking and blood groups to the New York State Commissioner of Health. Anthropologic and genetic studies (blood groups can serve as a marker for genetic linkage) also interest the Blood Research Unit that has grown from a staff of three to its present level of 14. In the early days there were no geneticists in Buffalo. The establishment of this field here awaited only the arrival of Drs. Robin Bannerman and Ronald Davidson to make it the "right time and the right place." Blood group studies on patients selected by the geneticists are performed in Unit Laboratories as well as collaboration on Dental School Larry Greene's twin studies to determine possible correlation between hereditary defects and a specific blood group. 28 Dr. Mohn reviews day's schedule with secretary Carol Ward. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The Man. Joint publications on Downe's Syndrome where there is a defect on chromosome 21 indicated a marked increase of the Kell blood group antigen, thus pointing to an inheritance on this particular chromosome. In a collaborative study with England's Drs. Race and Ruth Sanger of the Medical Research Council, Blood Research Unit, they indicated a different M antigen in Negroes, and in a study with Dr. Nevanlinna, a new group A Finnish variant. Anthropologically one of the most important human blood groups is Diego. A case referral by Sisters of Charity Hospital to Dr. Mohn led to his being one of two in the world to have some valuable antiserum of this specificity. As a result, he has completed the first studies on blood group determinations of the Tuscaroras and Senecas, two members of the matriarchal Greater Iroquois Confederation. Collaboration with Toronto professor of zoology and anthropology T. E. Reed has led to a completed study on the Ojibwas, a group from Northwestern Ontario, and with Dr. Bannerman, a study on the Chulupis of Paraguay. He continues a study that dates back to 1956 on the incidence of the Diego blood group with Japan's S. Iseki. WINTER, 1970 The sabbatical with Dr. Coombs became a reality in 1963 and a permanent relationship with Cambridge University ensued. A continuing exchange of research culminated in th e appointment of Dr. Mohn six years later as Cambridge University Lecturer through the department of pathology. A book on his series of lectures covering the ABO blood group system will soon be published. Collaboration continues with Professor Lars Edebo, the Swedish authority on the disintegration of bacterial cells , and former student William Miethaner who is now associate director of Buffalo General Hospital's blood bank, there is a study to prove whether red cell isoantigens exist on other tissues as well. With Harrisburg Hospital hematologist Herbert S. Bowman, there is pioneering work on autoimmune hemolytic anemia. They were the first to experimentally prove that there is autoantibody formation in this disease. With the arrival of Dr. Carel J. van Oss, the first complete series of morphologic studies on red cell agglutination by antibodies of the ABO and Rh blood group systems by scanning electronmicroscopy have been made. An attempt to confirm theories on this morphology to transmission electromicroscopy by use of ferritin labeled antibodies will be made by Dr. Guiseppe A. Andres. And large scale investigation of antigens and antibodies of ABO blood group system with Drs. J. K. Rose, and E. M. Tucker of the agricultural research council, Institute of Animal Physiology at Cambridge, and former students Roger K. Cunningham and Richard Plunkett is also underway. The collaboration goes on and on . . . D Technicians Annarnarie F. Claxton and Teri B.

Askold Mosijczuk split his time between a pathology course that he took as an elective at Millard Fillmore Hospital and the tennis courts. He is an accomplished tennis player and participated in several local tournaments. He spent many hours on the 6th floor of the hospital. He also poured over pathology textbooks. He spent one night a week doing lab work for his father, Dr. John Mosijczuk, a physican at Columbus Hospital. The elder Mosijczuk brought his wife and only child to Buffalo in 1954 after working as a physician for a French construction company in Tunisia. Before Tunisia, there was a five-year sojourn in Innsbruck, Austria, where Askold was born. The family had moved there from the Ukraine near the end of World War II. Askold met his wife, Ala, at a Ukranian-American debutante ball in Buffalo. She is working towards a Ph.D. in speech communication at the university. They have an eight month old son. 0 Medical Research Team A husband and wife medical research team has developed a plasmin which may make the difference between life and death to countless prematurely born infants. Dr. Clara M. Ambrus and her husband Dr. Julian are research associate professors on the Medical School faculty. The plasmin was developed at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute where Dr. Clara is principal cancer research scientists. It has taken 10 years to develop the plasmin, plus cooperation from many people. It has been used on about 100 local prematurely born infants. The survival rate, after treatment, was twice the average survival rate, and among infants weighing less than two pounds, three times the average rate. Arrangements have been made to use the plasmin in six local hospitals: Children's, Deaconess, Buffalo General, Meyer Memorial, Milliard Fillmore, and Sisters'. Doctors Clara and Julian Ambrus were born of Hungarian parents and married in Europe. Sixteen of their 22 years in the United States have been spent in research at Roswell Park. The couple's three oldest sons and daughters have a good start on careers in science. Madeline is a biology major at Wellesley College. She hopes to study medicine. Peter, in his second year at Yale, was a summer research assistant at Roswell Park. Julian, a student at Nichols School, received the top award for his study of aggression in animals at the State Science Fair in Rome, N. Y. Three of the younger children-Linda, Stephen, and Katherine- are pupils at Elmwood-Franklin School, while three-year-old Charles goes to nursery school. 0 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �There is a new "faculty voice" in the School of Medicine. It is the new Faculty Council of 54 elected people representing all 16 basic science and clinical departments, plus 16 alternates. Both President Robert L. Ketter and Dean LeRoy A. Pesch agree that this new Faculty Council is the first truly democratic group to represent the entire medical faculty. This new concept has the unanimous support of the Executive Committee of the Medical School. Dean Pesch said, "The development of this body represents a democratically elected, legally constructed and organized deliberative council of the faculty of the School of Medicine. This is an important milestone in the development of the School and its governance. It is my intention to bring before the council a wide spectrum of issues for advice and action. It is my hope that working together, we can move the School forward toward common goals and purposes, which reflect the urgent needs of the School and the community it serves. We want this organization to be the 'voice of the faculty'." The major function of the Faculty Council is to participate in the deliberative and policy-making processes of the Medical School and University and to promote more efficient communications between faculty, students, and administrative officers. The Dean of the Medical School is an ex officio member of the Council. He and each representative have one vote. The pro-tem officers are: Dr. William Chardack, president; Dr. James Nolan, vice president; and Dr. S. Mouchly Small, secretary. President Ketter told the members of the Faculty Council's Committee on Administrative Structure that he favored a Vice President in the Health Sciences who would be selected in the near future. He also expressed interest in increasing the medical student enrollment to around 200 per class while maintaining the quality of our graduates. The Faculty Council passed resolutions favoring Dr. Ketter's proposals when the required space, equipment and financial support for such an expansion will have been provided. A By-Laws Committee of the Council has been constituted to develop suggestions for a governing body for the Medical School. The Faculty Council was organized June 4 and had its initial meeting ten days later. The Council and its committees, with the active participation of its officers, met repeatedly during the summer developing a firm foundation for its further work and established communication with the entire electorate of the Medical School. The 70 representatives and alternates of the Faculty Council are: Anatomy - Doctors Oliver P. Jones, Joseph C. Lee, E. Russell Hayes*; Anesthesiology- Doctors Kenneth A. Kelly, Robert J.

D * Alternate 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Summer Studies Program Fifty-five students participated in a special eight-week (June 29August 21) summer studies program at the School of Medicine. There were 20 high school students, 15 undergraduates (entering medical freshmen and advanced premeds), and 20 medical and dental students. Cooperating on the project was the Erie County Health Department. The purpose of the program was to encourage minority students to enter health careers, and to provide medical, dental, and advanced premedical students with an educational opportunity that may spur their interest in community health problems. The participating students received no college credit. They lived in Clement Hall and received a $600 stipend. There were classroom lectures and textbook assignments mostly in the basic sciences. Then there were visits to various hospitals, clinics, laboratories, community agencies, and Erie County Health Department projects to see medical problems of neighborhood residents. There were also visits with health guides to core area households to listen and learn first hand about the problems. Dr. Robert L. Simmons, director of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery at Howard University, was among several guest speakers. Dr. Christopher D'Amanda, assistant research professor in medicine and acting director of the Health Sciences Career Development Program, coordinated the program with the faculty-student committee. The project was directed by James Freeman, Ph.D., who entered the medical school as a freshman in September. "It has been an invaluable experience for me," he said as he summed up the benefits of such a program. "We will be interested in following these high school students once they return to their studies." D The students lived in the campus dorms. �• ·--~----· Students visit a home.

Jones, Ph.D., M.D. '56 Dr. Jones gave this talk at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute Medical Club February 17, 1970. Dr. Jones is professor and chairman of the department of anatomy at the University. In a very roundabout and unusual way I became interested in the life of Dr. Frederick Peterson who graduated from the Medical Department of The University of Buffalo in 1879. But before the life of Peterson is considered, it is necessary to detail the experiences, observations, and circumstances which aroused that extremely complex phenomena of curiosity within me. For more than 40 years it has been natural for me to be curious about the fine structure of cells in general but to become interested in the first professor of pathology at Buffalo, even though he was a morbid anatomist, seems incongruous. On the other hand anatomists, because of their tradition, have been more historically oriented than some of their colleagues in other disciplines. My interest in Peterson spans 25 years. Call it serendipity if you wish, but realize that as such it is a bonus to the prepared scientist and not a substitute for hard work. In 1945, I was chairman of the Medical Library Committee which had as other members Dr. E. A. Sharp, M'98, and Dr. Julius Richter, M'04. At that time it was customary for the librarian to channel the acquisition of new books through the chairman before placing them in circulation. Even though our budget was inadequate I ordered a book by Mary Lou McDonough entitled, Poet Physicians published by Charles G. Thomas. It was customary for me to scan the new books, and in this instance I caught a glimpse of "Frederick Peterson born at Fairbault, Minn.-". This was enough to warrant a pause, because in 1932 I visited this town to play golf on a small 9-hole course with a friend who taught me English history at Temple University. I read on and learned that Peterson "received his degree of Doctor of Medicine from the University of Buffalo in 1879 and his Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Niagara in 1888. Between these dates he studied at the Universities of Vienna, Strassburg, Leipzig, and Gi:ittingen. Years later he studied at Munich and Zurich." I then became interested in him as an alumnus. I was elated to find this material about our alumnus and showed some poems to the late Dean Koch. He chuckled and said "I hope you don't start a new trend around here." His remark did not deter me but the lack of proper interest did so that the Peterson story was not resumed until10 years later. Sometime in 1953 Time Magazine published an excellent review of "The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud" (volume I) by Ernest Jones. The review was so impressive that I decided to purchase a copy. After it arrived, I showed it to Dr. S. Mouchly Small and he likewise ordered one. We decided upon a plan for reading our books which was for him to stay about 50 pages ahead of me. This we did for all of the first volume and most of the second volume which appeared in 1955. We discussed these works whenever we had time in the corridors, at social gatherings, dull executive meetings, and in the parking lot, just to mention a few places. It was not until I read volume II, p. 38 that I really became inspired about the life of Frederick Peterson. Ernest Jones wrote: At the end of November 1907 I had spent a week in Zurich with Jung, where I met, among others working there, Brill and Peterson of New York. 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Small advised me to write to Dr. Laurence C. Kolb, Professor of Psychiatry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Not only did Dr. Kolb reply to my letter but he also included some information from Dean Rappleye's file about Peterson and mentioned that I should write to Dr. Louis Casamajor, a personal friend of Peterson's in New York City. This was just the beginning of interesting and informative correspondence with Dr. Thomas Morton at Niagara University, Dr. Carl Jung in Switzerland, Dr. Ernest Jones in England, Dr. Nolan D. C. Lewis, former director of the New York Psychiatric Institute, Dr. Samuel Reback, lifelong friend of the family, and finally with Dr. Peterson's widow, Antoinette Rotan Peterson of New York City. Much to my surprise I recently received three of Mrs. Peterson's books from her granddaughter, Mrs. Christine Fremantle. In addition to correspondence I visited Mrs. Peterson on two occasions and the Craig State School in Sonyea twice through the courtesy of Dr. Vincent Bonafede. Source material for Dr. Peterson's medical writings was obtained from the Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal 1879-1883 and ·eight reprints from the files of Dr. Charles G. Stockton, grandfather of our late dean, Dr. Stockton Kimball. Frederick Peterson was born in Fairbault, Minnesota March 1, 1859, the son of John Frederick and Hilma (Lindholm) Peterson. He owed that town none of his education for as he was fond of saying he "never liked Fairbault so left it at the age of one year and never went back." His parents lived briefly in several Wisconsin towns and then separated from each other. His father went to Sioux City, Iowa, remarried and took Frederick to live with him. Many years later, Dr. Peterson recalled that his stepmother was always very kind to him. His elementary education was acquired at private schools and under special tutors. Two persons in Sioux City were responsible for giving young Peterson a life-long inspiration, and later in life he acknowledged his incalculable debt to them for their encouragement and faith in him. One was a Dr. Knott who seems to have been a rare person. Before young Peterson was fifteen he went to see Dr. Knott and talk with him about medicine, the ministry or the military as a profession. Dr. Knott evidently recognized him as a talented boy and offered to teach him medicine. For two years, over and above his regular school work, he did the medical work Dr. Knott assigned him. In other words he actually began the study of medicine at the age of fifteen. The second person was Mrs. Rosa Oberholtzer, his school teacher, who recognized his literary ability and constantly encouraged him. She was the only person in Sioux City who knew that the verses appearing in the local daily newspaper under the pseudonym of Pier of Redstone were Frederick Peterson's poems. (The name presumably refers to Pieria, one of the earliest of worship seats of the Muses in Macedonia) . He was apparently born with music in him and the spontaneity of his lyric poems reflected this quality. He never forgot Mrs. Oberholtzer and for 50 years or more he always wrote her a Christmas letter, even if it meant doing so at midnight on Christmas Eve. Frederick Peterson retained his early interest in poetry which grew with intensity throughout his entire professional life. He WINTER, 1970 39 Dr. Peterson �wrote poems after a hard day's work and for amusement at dinner. For example: Life (1883) Great Agassiz once made a fish From one small scale in manner simple Like him I feel that I could quite Construct a woman from a dimple. He published four volumes of poetry. The first one, Poems and Swedish Translations (1883), was an outgrowth of his Swedish ancestry. His other works were, In The Shade Of The Ygdrasil (1893), A Song of The Latter Day (1914), and the culmination of his lyric poems was the publication of Chinese lyrics in 1916 under the pseudonym of Pai Ta-shun (Chinese for Son of Peter). This book, printed with reproductions of Chinese art, was highly praised as the work of a Chinese poet unusually gifted in English. Actually he did not know more than two or three words in Chinese. His Chinese lyrics were entirely his own. They were the fruit of his study of some 800 Chinese paintings which he had collected during thirty or more years. He had a cousin married to an Englishman, who lived at Ningpo up the Yangtze from Shanghai, who first interested him in Chinese art and very often supplied him with pictures. The "Chinese lyrics" were just the way his study of Chinese art impressed his mind. They were published in Shanghai because of the illustrations. The following was used many years later by Dr. Bernard Sachs in his obituary for Peterson: The Desert Garden by Pai Ta-shun I hear no more the .swish of silk Along the marble walks; The autumn wind blows sharp and cold Among the flowerless stalks. In place of petals of the peach Fast drifts the yellow leaf; And looking in the lotus-pond I see one face of grief. He wrote the words for "At Parting" in February 1882 which were put to music in 1886 by James H. Rogers. This will receive special attention at the end of this biography. Now let me return to Frederick Peterson's education. His own mother had remarried and by the time Frederick was seventeen she had lost three children and her second husband, a Mr. Berg. Her brother, the Reverend Joseph Lindholm, rector of the Episcopal Church at Pittsfield, Massachusetts, arranged that Frederick should go to live with his mother in Buffalo where she was teaching piano. A gifted musician and concert pianist, she was always known in Buffalo and New York as Mme. Berg. Frederick Peterson entered the University of Buffalo Medical School at Main and Virginia Streets in 1877. It is of interest that his name on the class list was Fred. S. Peterson. In subsequent years the middle initial was dropped. His preceptor was Dr. John Cronyn, M'76. In that year there was a change in the administration of the Medical Department, namely, the office of the dean was abolished. Duties of that office was performed by the Presi- 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �dent of the Faculty and the Secretary, Dr. Charles Cary, M'75, also Professor of Anatomy. On February 25, 1879, President James D. White addressed the President of the Council, Honorable 0. H. Marshall as follows: "Mr. President- These candidates have shown, by proper certificates, that they have pursued the study of medicine under competent preceptors for the time of three years; that they are of good moral character, and have reached the age of twentyone years .... He also stated that Frederick Peterson had passed an excellent examination but, owing to the fact that he was not of age, a diploma could not be legally granted-." Following the presentation of diplomas, an address was delivered by Dr. Judson R. Andrews, Assistant Physician in the State Asylum for the Insane at Utica, on "Early Indications of Insanity". · It will never be known how much this motivated Peterson towards a lifelong practice of psychiatry or whether it was the mental illness of his uncle, Joseph Lindholm. His thesis on "Posterior Cerebral Lobes" certainly indicated a special interest in the nervous system. Peterson began his internship at the Buffalo General Hospital in 1879 and that same year marked the beginning of a career as a prolific writer on medical subjects which numbered more than 200 definitive contributions. His first paper, A Renal Calculus was published four months after he graduated. Six months later he wrote about Traumatic Aneurism. During the next two years, Peterson published a number of medical articles translated from Swedish, French, and German in addition to clinical reports. In 1881 Peterson published a 12 page article on Cremation. The first paragraph follows: Cremation is a necessity. It will come into vogue sooner or later. It awaits the evolution of good sense from the chaos of popular sentiment. Its advocates at present are the intelligent in general and scientists in particular. Its opponents are undertakers, manufacturers of coffin fixtures, dealers in fine woods, grave diggers, florists, cemetery associations, a large number with an antique and sentimental cast of mind, and those ministers and their congregations who fear cremation may make to Omnipotence an impossibility or at least a difficulty of resurrection. The advocates increase and the opponents die. To the intelligent man, personally, it is of course of no consequence what becomes of his body after death, but only with regard to the welfare of the living. After interning Peterson spent a couple years in Europe. His itinerary and items of medical interest were published as letters to the editor from Vienna, 1881 and Strassburg 1882. His medical observations and studies were made in Gottingen, Leipzig, Prague, Vienna, Strassburg, and Stockholm, but in both Berlin and Dresden the arts occupied most of his time and thought. In Gottingen he visited Henle's "theatrum anatomicum" and the museum with Blumenbach's collection of skulls from people of different racial origins. I cite this because it may have sewn the seed for the publication of Legal Medicine and Toxicology by Peterson, Haines, and Webster (1903). Furthermore he wrote: WINTER, 1970 41 Spring Clinical Days April 30 - May 1 Stockton Kimball Lecturer: John A.D. Cooper, M.D., President of the American Association of Medical Colleges; former Dean of Sciences at Northwestern University.

They work, have concerts, balls, go to church, etc., just as if sane and at home. I noticed there and in many other similar institutions later that the methods of ventilation and heating are far from perfect. They often use their old-fashioned porcelain stoves in the wards. This passage is cited because Peterson incorporated some of these ideas and methods in the establishment of The Craig Colony at Sonyea. Pathology was mentioned for the first time during his three-week stay in Leipzig. He visited the anatomical laboratory of His and Braune, the pathological laboratory of Cohnheim, and the physiological one of Ludwig. In Prague he was impressed by the Lying-in Asylum and in Vienna by the 24,000 patients treated per year at the Allgemeine Krankenhaus, of whom 13 per cent died. The fame of von Recklinghausen attracted Peterson to Strassburg which at that time was fast becoming one of the best German universities. The anatomist and histologist Waldeyer, with the pathologist von Recklinghausen, had one building together. Peterson wrote: For these two branches of medical science, Strassburg is now pre-eminent. No other university has such teachers, such material or such conveniences. Both professors are arduous laborers; from early morning until seven every evening at their posts, and take the greatest pains with their pupils. Von Recklinghausen makes some five or six post mortem examinations daily which together with material sent him by physicians in the city, furnish sufficient for six hours of demonstration weekly. He is considered here as second to Virchow and is said he will be called upon to succeed his former teacher in Berlin, upon the decease of the latter, who is already at advanced age; but it is also said he will not leave Strassburg. Peterson left here for the University of Stockholm in order h e said "to study with Axel Key, one of the best of living pathologists, and to whom I carry a message and greetings from von Recklinghausen for the two were students together with Virchow. " In the Annual Announcements for the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo in 1883-84, Dr. Frederick Peterson's name appears in the faculty list as Lecturer in Pathology. The course in pathology was described as follows: This course will be one of signal interest, as Prof. Peterson is constantly collecting interesting Pathological Specimens from the General Hospital and the State Asylum for the Insane; he is also curator of the mus eum and has from these various sources an abundance of material. In the Annual Announcements for 1884-85 and 1885-86, Peterson is listed as Professor of Pathology. But in the last one there is a notice "Professor Peterson of the Hudson River Hospital for the Insane will give a course of lectures on Pathology." In addition to this record of Peterson's academic appointments at the University of Buffalo, records of his experiences as a 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN ' 1 I I .I �pathologist were published in five articles in the Buffalo Medical & Surgical Journal from June to December 1883. The first one is on Contagium Animatum and it touched upon "the etiology of this strange class of specific infectious diseases which have puzzled us for ages." The next four articles were about Some Interesting Autopsies. He said "I select from 60 odd autopsies made this year a few which I am sure will be of interest to the profession , several for their rarity, and several for their real value. For convenience I number them as they appear in my record. The specimens are all preserved in the college museum." In the October issue, Peterson criticized some of the practices in pathology prevalent at that time: With regard to these recorded autopsies it is necessary to say that the post mortem examiner has in no case neglected to look at every organ in the body where it was possible to do so. In the majority of cases at charitable institutions there is no difficulty in doing this: but in abductions at private houses the matter is different. These latter generally add nothing to science, and are made as a rule only in the selfish interests of the attending physician, who is anxious to make or to verify his diagnosis. There is only in exceptional instances profit to the pathologist. The post mortem examiner receives usually neither knowledge nor morbid specimens, nor payment for his services. Furthermore, he runs in every case a dangerous risk. In my humble opinion the attending physician in private cases had better make his autopsies himself; for he will then feel responsibility for no life but his own; he will not feel under such deep and lasting obligation to the post mortem examiner (as he otherwise would), and he can always receive satisfactory corroboration of his diagnosis. Where liberal compensation for valuable services is made, the matter is wholly different. Only very rarely do autopsies at private houses add anything to pathological science. Buffalo Evening News For 34 years Dr. Albin V. Kwak, M'34, served Depew, New York residents. On June 28 a grateful community dedicated a lasting memorial where future generations will be reminded of his work. Attending the dedication were members of his family from left: his daughter, Mrs. Richard Lubecki; his wife, Mrs. Dorothy Kwak, and his son, Ray. Dr. Kwak died November 1, 1968 in Hong Kong while attending a medical convention.O �Although Peterson was Professor of Pathology in 1884 he did not publish articles about interesting autopsies. Apparently he had decided to leave the laboratory and return to the bedside. His decision to leave Buffalo is best explained in Mrs. Antoinette Rotan Peterson's own words in a letter to me dated February 8, 1956: Before long he became convinced that there was no one in this country, no American physician who really knew enough about insanity to treat it properly. He made up his mind to take a position in a State Hospital in order to live daily with the insane, and learn by constant contact how to treat their disorders. His friends in Buffalo were horrified and tried to dissuade him but he had decided. He took his mother and her piano with him. They had a suite of rooms at the Hudson River State Hospital at Poughkeepsie, and in the evenings she would play the Masters of music to him, for she could, and that helped him. His description of the long, dreary wards, chairs screwed to the floor, not a picture nor a curtain nor a book for the patients, never a walk out of doors nor an entertainment in the evening, no occupation, is dreadful to think of now. When he left three years later, many patients were working out of doors, gardening, tending the grounds and playing games. The wards had pictures and curtains and books. Entertainments were given frequently, and life was changed for the unfortunates who had been legally committed there. I think I am right in believing that he was the first in the United States to make a strong attack on the old system of shuthng the insane up with nothing to do. In 1887 Peterson took a three month vacation from his asylum work to visit the continental hospitals for the insane in Europe and some in England to ascertain what was being done in other countries in the matter of occupational therapy. He was particularly impressed with the variety of occupation in the German Asylum near Leipzig and the new one at Rome. When he returned to the Hudson River State Hospital he made immediate application of these ideas and the complete transformation of that hospital inside of a year had beneficial results. Incidental to this tour abroad Peterson visited the Colony for Epileptics at Bielefeld in Westphalia and was astounded by the great variety of occupations for the patients. Eventually under Peterson's influence the word "asylum" was dropped from usage and the word hospital took its place, thus teaching the public to understand that mental disorder is a sickness like any other, not a crime or a disgrace- any more than typhoid or pneumonia or rheumatism, and that it can often be completely cured by the right sympathetic medical care. In 1888 Peterson went to New York City bearing a letter of introduction to Bernard Sachs. They joined forces at the New York Polyclinic Hospital and began research which resulted in the publication of "A Study of Cerebral Palsies of Early Life Based Upon an Analysis of One Hundred and Forty Cases", which in its 44 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �day met with considerable favor. Many years later, Sachs in his obituary gave a good insight as to what kind of a man Peterson was. That any one has written dozens of articles means little. It was the spirit back of the work, the honest and unbiased search for truth, the enthusiastic support of genuine scientific inquiry, that made Peterson a most stimulating companion at a time when American neurology and psychiatry were beginning to achieve results that compelled general approval and some admiration. Peterson's first clinical appointment was as Chief of the Clinic for Nervous and Mental Diseases under Allen Starr at the Vanderbilt Clinic at Sloane Hospital, then part of Columbia University. A year later, Peterson published two papers which were to have a profound effect on hospitalization and care of epileptics and thrust him before the public eye at the age of 30 as a sound alienist (psychiatrist) and humanitarian. These two articles were "The Proposed New Lunacy Law" and "The Colonization of Epileptics." Agitated by these two publications and public addresses, the State Charities Aid Association appointed Drs. Peterson and George W. Jacoby on a committee to report on State provision for epileptics. On the strength of this report the Association introduced into the Legislature of 1890 a bill for such a colony which finally became law in 1892. The Legislature of 1894 authorized the purchase of the Shaker estate at Sonyea for the establishment of a colony for epileptics named in honor of Oscar Craig, president of the State Board of Charities. Because of Peterson's visit to Bielefeld in 1887 the Craig Colony was patterned after the Bethel Epileptic Colony and it has served as a guide for other states and countries wishing to found similar institutions. It was found that physical labor with the hands together with proper diet would, without drugs, reduce the annual number of epileptic seizures by fifty per cent. In its original design, it was a model village situated on a tract of 1895 acres in the rich Genesee Valley, divided in the middle by a deep picturesque gorge which separated the men's side from the women's side. It consisted of cottages each of which housed 12 patients under the supervision of a specialiy trained nurse. Many tasks kept them occupied and eventually the stronger ones were assigned work among the industries of the community. Frederick Peterson was president of the first Board of Managers and the Peterson Hospital was named out of gratitude to him. A large bronze plaque with this inscription is mounted in the foyer of the hospital. It was in this hospital that Dr. E. A. Sharp, M'98, took his residency in neurology. Today this colony or institution is called the Craig State School for mentally retarded children and adults. It no longer serves the entire state but only six counties. The current lack of available trained personnel and interested physicians has placed upon Dr. Vincent Bonafede, M'30, the horrendous task of keeping the show on the road, so to speak. Peterson remained President of the Board of Managers until he assumed another position, president of the New York Commission in Lunacy (1901-04) . There is an interesting anecdote conWINTER, 1970 45 Fly to the Medical Society of the State of New York Convention, February 14-18, 1971.

Robinson is the new assistant dean for admissions at the School of Medicine. He has been on the medical school faculty since 1948. Dr. Robinson is also an associate professor of psychiatry. He is a 1945 graduate of the UB medical school. D nected with this position: What is the probability of two physicians with the same name, who graduated from th e University of Buffalo Medical School 17 years apart, meeting on a train between Ogdensburg and New York City? The story is in Mrs. Peterson's letter to me on February 8, 1956 : Frederick was at one time President of the New York State Commission in Lunacy, and had the arduous duty of visiting each of thirty-eight mental hospitals at least once a year. One time he was on a train going to visit a hospital at Ogdensburg. In the smoking car he found a seat beside a stranger. They began to chat and soon discovered they were both doctors, so they smoked and talked. When the time came to separate for bed Frederick said he saw the other man fishing in his pocket for a visiting card. so he drew out his own. They exchanged, and each man read the same name, Dr. Frederick Peterson. My Frederick said, " Upon my word! What was your University?" The other replied, "The University of Buffalo." So you must take into account the fact that there were two Frederick Petersons among your alumni! The other one came, I seem to remember, from Watertown. We heard of him again but once. That was when a clipping bureau sent a newspaper picture of the other man, with the name under it, to my Frederick, and I being away somewhere, he sent it to me as his 'latest portrait.' According to the medical alumni catalog which lists all of our graduates from 1847 to 1924, the other Dr. Frederick C. Peterson graduated in 1896 and resided in Smithtown, Long Island. Small world isn't it? Peterson received an honorary Ph.D. from Niagara University in 1893 in recognition for his stimulus and support to the State Charities Aid Association for making the Craig Colony possible. It is interesting to note that at the same Commencement, according to the Niagara Falls Gazette of June 21, 1893, Dr. John Cronyn received the degree of LL.D., bearing in mind that he was Peterson's preceptor in 1877. The citations for these degrees are not available. However 26 years later Peterson received the LL.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania with the following citation: Eminent psychiatrist and author of profound works upon the most mysterious mental diseases - lecturer in medical jurisprudence and in toxicology- poet of distinction to whom the literary world is also indebted for hidden gems from The Swedish and Chinese literature. After resigning from his professorship in pathology at Buffalo, Peterson went on to hold four others: professor of nervous and mental diseases, University of Vermont, 1888-89; professor of insanity, Women's Medical College of New York Infirmary, 1890-95; clinical professor of psychiatry, 1904-08, and professor of psychiatry 1908-14, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University. It is noteworthy that Peterson was the first professor of psychiatry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �What kind of a professor was Peterson? McDonough said in her book that his lectures on insanity profoundly impressed the minds of his students. The source of this information is unknown and furthermore it does not explain his teaching methods. Fortunately Dr. Louis Casamajor was kind enough to describe Peterson from a medical student's point of view in a letter dated January 9 , 1956. I first got to know Dr. Peterson when I was a student at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York from 1902 to 1906. He was Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and I think the first that P & S had. He also ran a psychiatric clinic in the Vanderbilt Clinic. Every year Peterson would hold two clinical lectures in psychiatry for the fourth year class but everybody used to go to them. They were real vaudeville shows where patients from the Manhattan State Hospital were shown to the class. They were chosen for their ability to perform and they always put on a good show. Peterson was not a showman but since he was allowed only two hours a year to present the whole subject of psychiatry it was undoubtedly the best he could do. He never was satisfied with it. Years later, in the Historical Background of the Neurological Institute, Dr. Byron Stookey wrote: Peterson urged medical students and practitioners not to be so overwhelmed with mechanics and half truths that they lose the power of close clinical observationI met a patient who had had most of these tests tried on him and he said the experience was most impressive. I asked what the doctor had done for him as a result of these labors. He said: 'He gave me rhubarb and soda, and when I told him that is just what my doctor had given me long ago, he said it was not rationalized, not scientific. Then I replied: Rationalized rhubarb is having a wonderful cathartic effect on my pocketbook'. Peterson, six foot-four inches tall, of excellent physique, radiated a serenity which made people feel better by being in his presence. Dr. Reback said, "He was very generous and lavish in entertainment and enjoyed good cigars, lobster a la newburg, and scotch with lots of water." Dr. Nolan D. C. Lewis has written about his reaction to meeting Peterson in Adolph Meyer's Department at Johns Hopkins: One didn't meet Dr. Peterson without remembering it. He impressed me with his kindly attitude. I talked with him several times on other occasions during meetings where he was very impressive as a discus~ant. In a certain sense there were two sides to Peterson which Dr. Lewis observed as follows: On the one hand he was a nice person with a pleasant approach to people, and a person with plenty of creative imagination (i.e. the humanitarian and poet). On the other hand, his scientific side was rather notably rigid. He would take nothing for granted. He had to have the 'evidence.' 'He seemed to be quite intolerant WINTER, 1970 47 Dr. John A. Richert has been named registrar and assistant to the dean at the School of Medicine. From 1966 to 1969 inclusive Dr. Richert had been admissions coordinator at the Gradua~ Education School at the University. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from State University Coilege in 1958 and 1961. He received his Ed.M. and his Ed.D. from SUNY AB in 1966 and 1970. 0 �with those who disagreed with him, particularly in the field of psychopathology and so-called "psychodynamics".' If there was a 'hole' in any theory he would be sure to find it. Things must be black or white in science. Bernard Sachs, in his obituary for Peterson, also seased some of these things: His abhorrence of sham, his unwillingnes.; to be taken off his feet by fantastic doctrines of the day made him a pillar of strength for those who like him, were most anxious to direct the development of psychiatry in Ameriica along sound scientific lines. From 1901 to 1904 Peterson served as President of the New York State Lunacy Commission in which his administrative ability brought order out of chaos. He was the first to advocate a psychopathic hospital for New York, and had even secured a grant of land for it from the city at what is now called Beekman Place. Dr. and Mrs. Peterson went together to the Worcester State Hospital, Massachusetts to persuade Dr. Adolph Meyer to come to New York to the Manhattan State Hospital with the view of becoming director of the projected psychopathic hospital. According to Mrs. Peterson (February 23, 1956): Dr. Meyer came, but somehow the city wasn't ready to build a new hospital. Anything so singular, so erratic as a hospital, exclusively for nervous and mental diseases, was too far fetched in those days. So Dr. Meyer went to Phipps at Baltimore where he had a long and admirable career. Adolph Meyer, in his presidential address at the 84th meeting of the American Psychiatric Association, said: Frederick Peterson came to show an untiring devotion in the furtherance of the psychopathic hospital ideal. His goal was work with and for the living patient, but not so much from the inside of the existing centers and the very heart of psychiatric work of the rank and file of existing hospitals and their physicians, but through the creation of centers in cities and help from consulting staff. In the development of the New York Neurological Institute, Peterson gave unstintingly of his time and energy at a period when the public still needed to be instructed as to the value of such a hospital. His vision of the future included such aggregations of facilities as the present Medical Center and the New York Cornell Medical School and Hospital, long before the movements which created them had come to the surface. He lived to see the great Neurological Institute rise on the cliff above the Hudson River and the Psychopathic Hospital alongside. In 1907 Peterson spent two months in Zurich with Dr. Carl G. Jung at the BurghOlzli Mental Hospital. He and A. A. Brill were working on Veraguth's psychogalvanic phenomenon at the time when Ernest Jones visited Jung in November of that year. In reply to my letter, Professor Jung's secretary wrote as follows: 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Prof. Jung asked me to thank you for your letter. He remembers quite well Dr. Frederick Petereson and said that he was a personality of a very kind and generous nature. It is with pleasure that Prof. Jung thinks of him and of their work at the laboratory on the psychogalvanic phenomenon investigated with the help of the Association experiment. After having finished that work they made a trip, accompanied by their wives to the castles of the Normandie. It was Dr. Peterson who had invited Prof. Jung and his wife for this journey. They went in a motor carl and it was a wonderful tour. Dr. Peterson proved as a charming comrade. So Prof. Jung has the best remembrances of Dr. Peterson, both as a co-worker and as the comrade of a motor-car-tour in 1907 quite in the old style. The car they used was a Brasier-Quarante Chevaux (40 h.p.). Mrs. Peterson retold this experience in h er letter of February 8, 1956: Carl Jung we knew very well. Frederick worked with him for several months at Zurich. Later he and his wife spent ten days with us in Paris as our guests and we did a lot of motoring together. Jung was young and very agreeable then. Very interesting, though rather crude in manners. Later he seemed to me to become egotistical, tyrannical and very full of himself. Frederick didn't agree with him and Freud at many points but h e did credit them with bringing to light knowledge of the immense power of the subconscious in man. Peterson had a great sense of humor which helped develop a real joy of life. Mrs. Peterson told me that he was telling Dr. Jung a story about Alkali Ike, whose friend was dead. Jung asked the cause of death and w as told he called Alkali Ike a liar. Jung laughed heartily and asked, "sodium or potassium?", indicating that they both had a sense of humor, at least at that time. Dr. Ernest Jones wrote me from The Plat, Sussex, England on December 19, 1955 as follows: Buffalo Evening Ne w s Th e new president of the W estern Ne w York Heart Association Dr . Andre w A.

He spent some months with Jung in Zurich in 1907 and it was he who induced Brill to join him there, with all the consequences that later led to for American psychiatry. Peterson himself was at the time chiefly interested in the psycho-galvanic experiment and did not get very far with the study of psycho-analysis. He encouraged Brill, however, in New York and used to send him patients. Then I think their friendship cooled because of the conflict between Brill's enthusiasm and Peterson's lukewarmness. Dr. Louis Casamajor first got to know Peterson personally when he joined The Neurological Institute as chief of the second division in the fall of 1910. In his letter of January 9, 1956 he assessed the relationship between Brill and Peterson as follows: When A. A. Brill started to practice in New York doing psychoanalysis he worked in Peterson's Clinic. There was a bond of sympathy between these two unlike men. Brill was very hard up and Peterson used to refer private patients to him for analysis. This assured Brill a living. Although Peterson was never an enthusiastic psychoanalyst yet, with his great intelligence, he recognized the value of psychoanalysis in treating the psychoneurosis. This took considerable of personal and scientific courage for in those days it was not even decent to take any stand about psychoanalysis except violent antagonism. Brill was always very grateful to Peterson for his sympathy, understanding and help. Undoubtedly Peterson's greatest contribution to psychiatry lay in his making it possible for Brill to develop into the great influence he was in spreading the knowledge of psychoanalysis in this country. In the selective service draft of World War I, 38 per cent of the young men were rejected for physical and mental defects. Something was wrong because the school curricula did not provide adequate supervision of the health of the bodies of the children and no health education. In June, 1918 Dr. L. Emmett Holt, Miss Sally Lucas Jean, and their coworkers met in the Peterson house and established the Child Health Organization of America. Dr. Holt, the foremost pediatrician in New York at that time, became president and later Peterson was secretary. They made it their chief point to introduce health education into all schools as part of the regular curriculum by winning the interest of the children themselves by making health, gaining and growing, fashionable among children. School lunches, teaching the children what to eat and why, the importance of baths and sleep and fresh air. Within a few years the movement spread throughout the world. Peterson said, "The health span of life must be increased, not the span of life with ill health and decrepitude." Nearly all of the meetings of the Child Health Organization were held in the Peterson home until Herbert Hoover, before he became president, took it over for his own political purposes. According to Dr. Reback, Peterson was not a man of prejudices, but he was resentful about this. This clearly shows itself in a passage from Peterson's book on eduation: 50 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A certain eminent American has been in the habit of saying, from time to time, in a solemn and portentious manner: "I have no use for the imponderable." This despite the fact that his whole life has been actuated by such imponderables as ambition for affluence and power and all the hokum of advertising and salesmanship in which he has been past-master. Mrs. Peterson was also keenly interested in the Child Health Organization and helped in many ways besides serving as a gracious hostess for the group. She too had considerable literary ability and wrote three small books which contributed to Health Education in America and other countries. The books were The Child Health Alphabet (1918), Everychild and The Rhymes of ChaGha's Grandma (1922). Cho-Cho was characterized as a clown who taught about cleanliness and honesty. Frederick Peterson and Olive T. Dargan published a book of four plays- The Flutter of the Gold Leaf (Scribner, 1922). In it there was one called Everychild in which Cho-Cho the clown talks about a new kind of doctor- "This is a Health doctor, not a Disease doctor. Present, treatment for Health; absent, treatment for absence of Health." Apparently this play was given in Washington, D. C. because Mrs. Peterson in her letter of February 2, 1956 mentioned in connection with the Hoover story "But when we sent our clown Cho-Cho to Washington, Congressmen slipped out of the House to see him in a room that Department of Interior Secretary Lane had provided for us." Among all these activities Peterson found time to be president for 10 years of the Board of Trustees of the Laboratory Theatre, a small theatre and School of Acting which was set up when exiled Russians of the Moscow Theatre Company came to New York in the early 1920's. Richard Boleslavski and Maria Ouspenskaya, the chief two having had as they said "a little trouble with their government." He befriended the Russians before they learned to speak English to show his quick appreciation of the fact that they had a great contribution to make to the growth of our theatre. After the financial crash of 1929 money was not available to keep them so the Russians went to Hollywood, where they had long been sought after and New York lost a valuable school of acting. Peterson went fifteen times to see his actors play Twelfth Night! In 1898 Peterson, Sachs, and others formed an association in New York known as "The Charaka Club" named the Father of Hindu Medicine. The members, which included Philadelphians, were all physicians who had spontaneously or instinctively discovered in themselves some recreative activity that gave them rest and reinvigoration from their arduous professional labors. Peterson attended these meetings for nearly 40 years. Sachs, in his obituary, said that "Peterson was at his best when he recited 'In the Shade of Ygdrasil' and other Chinese verses. It was at these meetings too that he gave his intimate associates the benefit of his unusual culture, his wide knowledge of the Orient and his deep insight into the spiritual and moral makeup of his fellowmen." WINTER, 1970 51 �Peterson drew heavily from his experiences at these club meetings for much of the material which was published in his little book on Creative Re-Education (1936, Putnam's, New York). It calls for training in good physical health, character building, and preparation for life's work for the young and creative re-education for the adult. The following are excerpts from his book: I have had hundreds of patients who have been reeducated out of invalidism by seeking and discovering in them latent capacities which they were never conscious of and which it was often difficult for me to uncover. Of course, any patient must be studied both physically and mentally as an organic whole, for there is no separation of mind and body.- I call this constructive psychological analysis in contradistinction to destructive psychological analysis which has been having a passing vogue now for a score or more years. In constructive psychological analysis, one seeks through the mind of the patient for any trace of old or new capacity, for those sparks of interest that may lead to illumination. We are told in Poet Physicians that many of Peterson's lyrics were set to music. He wrote The Sweetest Flower That Blows or At Parting in February 1882 and James H. Rogers set it to music in 1886. AT PARTING The sweetest flower that blows I give you as we part. For you, it is a rose! For me, it is my heart! The fragrance it exhalesAh! if you only knew! Which but in dying failsIt is my love for you! The sweetest flower that grows I give you as we part. You think it but a rose! Ah me! it is my heart! FREDERIC PETERSON Although this lyric received more than thirty musical settings this one became famous and has been sung for many years by prima donnas all over the world. The last five winters of Peterson's life were spent in California, and the last time he heard this song was in Pasadena, where Rogers the composer was also spending the winter. The following are Mrs. Peterson's words: Kirsten Flagstad was giving a Wagnerian concert. Encored, she came out and said, I understand that the composer of the music and the author of the words are both in the audience. I shall sing The Sweetest Flower That Blows. He had the intense pleasure of hearing his little song sung before an immense audience by one of the greatest singers in the world. He leaned to me and said, "Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace." We both knew what was coming. Two months later he died. 52 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A Committee on Religion and Medicine was organized by Mrs. John Sherman Hoyt and Peterson served as chairman until his death. The committee was composed of scientists and clergymen who met to see what religion could do for medicine and medicine for religion. At first the meetings were held at Peterson's office but finally a ward was secured at the Neurological Institute, 168th Street on the Hudson, where certain practitioners of religious faith healing worked with patients. Regular hospital physicians always checked the results carefully. One morning in May 1938 Peterson attended his last meeting with the committee and in the afternoon entered Memorial Hospital knowing that he could never recover. He died July 9, 1938 at the age of 79 from a carcinoma at the root of the tongue and was cremated. In 1955 when I first started to rediscover Frederick Peterson, the proposed title of the biography was "Dr. Frederick PetersonA Forgotten Alumnus." You can well understand Mrs. Peterson's unfavorable reaction to this. Actually, he had spent but a short period of his life in Buffalo and made a name for himself in New York City. His textbook of "Nervous and Mental Diseases with Church," which went through nine editions, had worldwide acceptance and many medical students first learned about Peterson from it. Some Buffalonians may have heard about him from one of his daughters, Virgilia B. Peterson, who lectured here as an authoress and literary critic. At any rate the present title, "Dr. Frederick Peterson- Alumnus, Poet, Pathologist, Psychiatrist and Humanitarian," seems most appropriate. It has been a pleasure to rediscover this truly great man not only for our medical alumni but also for Buffalonians in general.D WINTER, 1970 53 �People The Classes of the 1900-'19 Dr. William Brady, M'01, reminisced in his newspaper column in The Daily News, McKeesport, Pa. of August 25 about his student days in the Medical School.

Naughton, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine Dear Alumnae and Alumni, The School of Medicine has been notified recently that three donors are favorably disposed to award us with new sources of endowment income. While all the details are not yet resolved. one bequest is well firmed up, and its purpose will be fulfilled during this academic year. Dr. Louis A. Siegel, Class of 1923, has established an annual award "to recognize and give evidence of the importance of superior teaching in the preclinical and clinical portions of the ~edical curr.iculum. and to provide encouragement and incentive for teachmg achievement." This endowment is deeply appreciated because it is among the few that emphasizes recognition for teaching excellence. In order to implement the award during this academic year, a student committee has been at work developing guidelines for selecting nominees and awardees. Three individuals, one a basic science faculty member, one full time clinical faculty member, and one voluntary faculty member will be acknowledged at the Annual Faculty Meeting of the School of Medicine. A recipient cannot be recognized more than two years consecutively. Among the criteria used for selection are that the faculty member: 1. Possess and demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the field; 2. Organizes and presents subject matter effectively; 3. Stimulates thinking and develops understanding; 4. Arouses student interest and enthusiasm; 5. Demonstrates resourcefulness; 6. Assists students in solving their individual and group problems. On behalf of the School of Medicine I extend my gratitude to Dr. Louis A. Siegel for his generosity and for his recognition of the importance and value of a TEACHER.

Phillips, M'47 President Medical Alumni Association Dr. Phillips �A PHYSICIAN FACES DISSEMINATED RETICULUM CELL SARCOMA IN HIMSELF Part VI B Cancer: Its Effects on the Family of the Patient Communication Between Physician and Patient's Family Samuel Sanes, M.D. The seminar which I conducted for the sophomore medical class in April 1976 on "What A Cancer Patient Expects from a Physician" lasted for an hour and a half. (My wife, by the way, participated as representative of a patient's family.) At its conclusion, a student came up to me . "Dr. Sanes," he remarked, "do you know that your entire seminar can be summarized in three words? " "Three words?" I queried defensively. "Yes," the student replied , "the three COM 's"1. COMpetence, "2 . COMmunication, "3. COMpassion." In this article I shall discuss the second of these three "COM" expectations from the standpoint of communication between the physician and the family of the cancer patient. * * * * * For some physicians, communication with the family of the cancer patient is the most difficult expectation to meet - more difficult than communication with the patient. In a letter dated May 6, 1976 to the editor of The New York Times, Mrs. Virginia Bekus of North Brunswick, N.J., wrote : "I have been going to doctors a good part of my life, what with children, husband, parents, etc. I can say that, although I have pressured for information, I received none; that, although I have pressured for patient education or communication, I have received none. I have learned that doctors are a secretive group ." I do not know Mrs. Virginia Bekus. She gives no specific details of her medical experiences ... whether cancer was one of the health problems in her family. She offers no factual evidence by which to judge the validity of her generalization that " doctors are a secretive group." * * * * * ILLUSTRATIONS Dr. Sones wrote the first draft of this article during the July 4 week of the USA Bicentennial Celebration and the July 11 week of the Democratic National Convention . References to cancer can be made for both events. I do, however, know the wife in Example II of my Article VI A whose 30-year-old husband died four months after diagnosis and onset of treatment of a testicular embryonal carcinoma with metastases. The physician who first saw her husband and worked him up clinically refused to communicate with her at all during the 12 days of his hospitalization prior to transfer by a consulting urologist to a cancer institute. 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �Ironically, the physician was a family practitioner who, in the past, had also seen the wife as a patient. He held a faculty appointment at a medical school in its department of family medicine. The wife had no criticism of the scientific competence of her husband's physician. Within a couple of days after promptly admitting his patient to the hospital he had carried out a diagnostic investigation, arrived at a clinical impression, and called in a urologist for consultation and operation. He made daily pre- and post-operative visits to the patient. But the wife has never ceased being critical and feeling bitter about the physician's failure to communicate with her. As a result of her experience, she shifted her own patient-doctor relationship to another primary-care physician. A skeptical reader may characterize the foregoing illustration of physician-family communication as consisting merely of anecdotal evidence, involving only one patient, one physician, one family obtained thr~mgh a couple of informal interviews with the wife by a not-disinterested interrogator and reported by him as part of a personal narrative. * * * * * Let's look at some evidence which is more objective. It was reported by Shirley J. Salmon, Ph.D., at the 1975 meeting of the International Association of Laryngectomees, American Cancer Society. Dr. Salmon is speech pathologist at the Veterans Administration Hospital, Kansas City, Mo. Her study of a group of cancer patients (largyngectomees) and their spouses in regard to physician communication grew out of an experience with one of her own patients. He staggered into her office early one morning and, speaking with his artificial larynx, said " ... you didn't tell me it was going to be like this. Why didn't you tell me?" A short time later she heard similar poignant complaints from the spouses of laryngectomees attending a group workshop. "Why," they asked repeatedly, "didn't somebody tell us how it would be?" To determine how common such a feeling was, Dr. Salmon conducted a questionnaire survey. Questionnaires were returned by 59 laryngectomees (10 of them women), from 18 states, and by 47 spouses (including 5 males), from 15 states. Eight of the laryngectomees were single. The average age of the laryngectomees was 60 years, of the spouses, 58 years. One-third of the married laryngectomees had two children at home at an average age of 13 years when the operation was performed. I excerpt certain findings from Dr. Salmon's study of physician-patient-family communication. More than 50 percent of patients said that their doctors discussed only the surgical procedure, while 36 percent said they were told that their operation could be life-saving, heard something about the "pathology" of their lesion and the prognosis. Just 49 percent of the spouses were given information by doctors about the operation, prognosis, and resumption of activities by the patient. d- SPRING, 1977 5 POSITION WANTED Marion Marionowsky, managing editor of the "Buffalo Physician" since its inception ten years ago, will be looking for another job when her contract expires on June 30, 1977. With wide experience in medical writing, she would like to remain in the field. �.. - - · - - - ~ -- ~ . t A NEW RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY at the Univer- Medical Rehabilitation Laboratory sity will not only develop new diagnostic, therapeutic, and orthotic devices to amplify the weak muscles of the handicapped, but it will also provide employment for the handicapped to manufacture perfected devices in their sheltered workshops. The laboratory is located at the Bell Plant, a campus annex located at 2050 Elmwood Avenue. The rehabilitation medicine/ engineering laboratory, under the aegis of the University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc., is headed by Mr. J. Sam Miller. The young assistant clinical research professor in rehabilitation medicine, who holds a master's degree in electrical engineering from Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, will continue work which began at Cornell Laboratory about ten years ago, when an exoskeleton - it amplifies man's strength in military space situations - was studied there under a Navy contract. Worn over the body, this device would be capable of duplicating the full range of body movements in an unrestricted manner. While the problem of powering it remained to be solved, the team wondered whether its principle could be applied to the medical field. The result by them and scientists from the University and the Veterans Hospital was an exoelbow or myotron, as it is called, which duplicates the movement of the arm (flexion and extension at elbow and rotation at shoulder joint). When the patient's arm is placed inside an open sleeve structure and dials on a control board are turned the patient can do any number of things. After resigning from CAL when its sale by Cornell University threatened its future as a nonprofit laboratory, Mr. Miller joined the Sanders Associates at a new research and development electronics facility. Here, he and fellow engineers worked with the University, E. J. Meyer Hospital, and the University of New Brunswick (Canada), to instrument a powered arm brace with a control system which responds to weak muscular efforts of a patient. An experimental model of this device is to be evaluated at the new laboratory as a functional brace that enables certain paralyzed patients to make voluntary coordinated arm motions. ~~~~---·· 6 Engineer Ed Zurbuch instructs Anna Paradisi in driver training. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN -- �Early this year when Sanders closed its Buffalo office, Mr. Miller approached the University of Buffalo Foundation. Why not continue applying engineering techniques to rehabilitation medicine in close affiliation with the University and its teaching hospitals? Meyer Hospital, after all, is one of the state's chief rehabilitation centers. A $10,000 seed grant opened Mr. Miller's laboratory. He serves as its director; Dr. William P. Walsh, staff physician at the Meyer and instructor in medicine, serves as its part time medical director; Edward J. Zurbuch as its staff engineer; and John P. Curran is staff technician. Said Mr. Miller, "The challenge in our laboratory is great." He pointed to the 3,370,000 orthotic patients in this country whose weakened, deformed or paralyzed muscles require bracing. "With just a bit of residual muscular effort, many patients suffering paralysis from either stroke, some type of muscular dystrophy or spinal cord injuries, as well as post polio victims, would theoretically be able to produce desired motions through use of such a powered brace." In the new laboratory, which will also serve as an educational facility for the Health Sciences Center, work will proceed on such things as instruments to measure more precisely the condition of joints and muscle functions, and the use of driver/trainer simulators by physically handicapped. But to reach the year-end goal of a staff of 11, $70,000 remains to be raised from private and government sources. "If our envisioned instrument programs are successful, in three years our nonprofit laboratory should gross over six million dollars, a portion of which would be plowed back into research, scholarships, etc. But with additional fund support, the development of other types of powered orthotic devices, a research instrument for neuromuscular disorder studies, improvement in operations of standard braces, a powered arm assist, and therapy devices for stroke rehabilitation are also possible," Mr. Miller said.D Pediatric Nephrology Dr. Mitchell I. Rubin will direct a postgraduate course in Pediatric Nephrology April 5-7. Diagnosis, management, pathophysiology and etiology of common renal disorders will be reviewed by clinicians, radiologists, immunologists and pathologists. The participants will be encouraged to participate in seminars concerning patients with glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, urinary tract infection, renal tubular disease, obstructive uropathy, hematuria, orthostatic proteinuria and acute and chronic renal failure. Faculty will consist of both members of the faculty of the State University of New York at Buffalo and visiting faculty. D WINTER, 1970 7 John P. Curran, staff technician, models the power arm brace while Mr. Miller (left] and Dr. William P. Walsh, clinical instructor in medicine, evalute the procedure. �·----- . Dr. Rose Dr. Rose Will Direct Immunology Center ~ ,. Dr. Noel R. Rose has been named director of the Center for Immunology. The 42-year old professor of microbiology and assistant professor of medicine succeeds Dr. Ernest Witebsky, distinguished professor of microbiology, who died in December 1969. Dr. Rose holds both Ph.D. and M.D. degrees. Following the award of a Ph.D. degree in 1951 in medical microbiology from the University of Pennsylvania, he came to Buffalo to work and to study under Dr. Witebsky in the School of Medicine's department of bacteriology and immunology. Before earning a medical degree in 1964 from SUNYAB he spent a year at the Pasteur Institute in Paris as a visiting investigator. After his return to Buffalo in 1964, where he was associate professor of bacteriology and immunology and associate director of the Erie County Laboratories, two years hence he headed the Erie County Laboratories and the Meyer Hospital Laboratories and was appointed professor of microbiology in the School of Medicine. Following a year in 1966 as visiting investigator at the Institut de Bio Chimie in Lausanne, Switzerland, he returned to Buffalo and was appointed director of the World Health Organization regional reference laboratory for autoimmune serology, which is an arm of the Center for Immunology. He holds memberships in numerous national and international scientific societies and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Allergy, American Academy of Microbiology, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Public Health Association. He has also served on many national and university committees. Among these are the World Health Organization as expert consultant, Immunobiology Study Section of the National Institutes of Health, the American Board of Microbiology, and the American Association of Immunologists. Dr. Rose has published over 150 scientific papers, and has served on the editorial board of Experimental and Clinical Immunology. The Center for Immunology, which he now heads, serves as a stimulating atmosphere for collaboration among all interested immunologists in the community. It is here where indepth study and high quality performance on a teamwork basis is emphasized in the basic studies that cover the nature and manifestations of immunologic responses, to better understand factors responsible for resistance or its lack against disease, and to aid in closing the gap between research results in the laboratory and its direct application to the patient. Dean LeRoy Pesch said, "We are all confident that under his able direction and leadership the Center will continue to grow and achieve the excellence which was the dream of its founders. And it will serve as a living memorial to Dr. Witebsky."D 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The Medical School faculty is making a major contribution to the new Coronary Care Unit at the Meyer Memorial Hospital, one of the first such units in the nation. Dr. Stephen M. Wittenberg is director of the unit. Dr. Francis J. Klocke, a 1960 Medical School graduate, who is now chief of cardiology and an associate professor of medicine, plays a key role along with Dr. Evan Calkins, professor and chairman of the department of medicine. Mrs. Anita Door, supervisor of Meyer's admissions and emergency department, has been instrumental in planning and directs the nursing aspects of the project. What the hospital is doing combines the best features of mobile coronary care units pioneered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and time-study data recently reported by investigators at the University of Rochester. This new method concentrates on the suspected heart attack patient the minute he comes through the hospital door. It amounts to intensive pre-coronary monitoring, according to Dr. Wittenberg. Central to this concept is an especially equipped pre-coronary care area in the Emergency Department. Here is where the most modern equipment and knowledge are immediately provided the patient. There is a specially designed bed, a miniaturized battery operated oscilloscope, and other electronic monitoring devices along with skilled personnel that have reduced CCU fatalities from 30 per cent to 15 to 20 per cent.D 24-Hour Coronary Care Dr. Hilliard K. Jason, M'58, told the 66th Annual Congress of Medical Education at the AMA meeting that he considers the prevalent plan of medical education to be a strangely expensive exercise with little relevance. The Michigan State University Medical School educator suggested that medical education was directed at achieving conformity to the subculture of the medical student rather than the subculture of the practicing physician; that we make medical students into followers when we should be educating leaders in the field of health; that teachers fail in their control responsibility of serving as models after whom medical students may pattern their behavior; that students are led into a choice of specialization without exposure to a cross-section of the variety of medical practice forms. Dr. Jason advocates special attention to provision for an individualized rate of progress through medical school; early exposure to patients on a personal basis to offset dehumanizing effects of the laboratory science side of medical training; the use of practicing physicians as teachers; and constant continuing review of the curriculum for relevance to training medical students for entering medical practice. D Medical Education Expensive WINTER, 1970 9 �The new class hear from President Ketter and Dean Pesch. The 1974 Class Orientation. From Dean LeRoy A. Pesch they learned that they were the first class in the history of the medical school to register into an elective curriculum and that their biggest challenge would not be to get through medical school- "you are all well qualified" but to become part of the inevitable process of change of which all institutions, including this one, are a part. There is no one right way to solve problems, he said to the 125 freshmen, but "I hope you will find that you are, will have, will become part of the process of change." From the new president Robert L. Ketter, who found it difficult to think of incoming medical students as freshmen, they learned that 125 years ago the University started out as a medical school. "There is a heritage," he said. And there was registration, photographs, tours, and decisions to be made regarding electives to round out class schedules, a hotdog roast, and a faculty I student reception. But when the incoming class, on its second day at medical case presentation, moderated by Dr. Joseph Acquilina, learned that collectively they knew a substantial amount of knowledge, they were ebullient. "Ask questions, make a diagnosis based on a personal history taking," said the clinical professor in medicine as he introduced the first patient, Mr. X, to the class. 10 President Robert L. Ketter. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Yes, Mr. X responded to a student, he had family problems. Divorced, the father of two children, he planned to remarry next year. Yes, to a second student, he drank heavily as did his father who died recently of a coronary occlusion. His job? Professor. Yes, this did subject him to abnormal stresses and strains. But the 40-year-old, jaundiced patient had no galbladder problems or pain in his body, but there had been a pronounced weight loss. "What is the problem?" asked Dr. Acquilina of the class. Cirrhosis of liver was their response. "You are learning one of the fundamental skills of medicine- how to communicate with the patient." And he pointed to the tremendous amount of information they had accumulated from the patient. But what are the factors that led this patient to drink? Pressures from family, health, occupation, was the class reply. And Mr. X was the product of these factors. A picnic of hot dogs and beer. From the second patient, 52-year-old Mr. Addington who had served in three wars, the class learned that he suffered from intensive pain in the abdominal region. An air force pilot for over 20-odd years, and an engineer on a merchant marine ship, he was now a widower and the father of a married daughter and a staff sergeant son. No, he did not think that he had severe emotional problems. No, he was not a heavy drinker but he did like a good beer and he did smoke heavily, three packs a day. Yes, he did have pain after eating, about 30 minutes after, and especially if the food was spicy. What did a GI series show? It confirmed a chronic, intractable ulcer in the small bowel. Pointed out one student to the class, smoking increases gastric secretion and affects blood vessels. "Here again," summed up Dr. Acquilina, "while we have not examined the patient, we have been able to make a diagnosis by learning how to communicate with the patient."D Mr. Addington, Dr. Acquilina. ----.,...-----.,...-- �I -------·· 601 Pay Medical Alumni Dues A total of 601 physicians contribu ted $12,068.00 in dues to the Medical Alumni Association during 1970.

Here are two examples of how physicians handle it. Certain readers of this article, I am sure, go back far enough in years to recall Lilyan Tashman, a Ziegfeld Follies girl and Hollywood movie star. Upon learning that she had an inoperable, terminal cancer of the stomach, she wanted to keep the diagnosis from her husband, Edmund Lowe, stage and screen actor. The doctor, however, told Lowe the truth. The actor never let on to his wife that he knew. A general surgeon in his early 50s developed a chronic progressive degenerative disease of the central nervous system and was forced to give up practice. He and his wife moved from their home to a small apartment where she, a former nurse, took care of him. A married son lived in California, a daughter attended a New England college. Two years later the wife noticed enlarged nodes in her neck and entered a hospital for diagnosis. Left alone, her husband had to be admitted to a nursing home. The wife's illness was diagnosed as disseminated lymphoma. She remained in the hospital for X-radiation and the initiation of chemotherapy. When friends brought her husband in once a week to visit her, she arranged her negligee to conceal the enlarged lymph nodes in her neck. He had no idea of the diagnosis and treatment of her illness. She asked her attending physician not to tell him. The physician complied with her request. He did communicate fully, however, with the son and daughter. After discharge from the hospital the wife gave up the apartment and joined her husband as a fellow patient in the nursing home. Legally a cancer patient's request that his physician not disclose diagnostic and other information to family members comes under "privileged communication" and must be so honored. The physician, however, can try under ordinary circumstances to convince the patient that disclosure will rebound to the benefit of the patient and to that of his family and doctor. In the case of Lilyan Tashman, the physician took it upon himself to tell Edmund Lowe because, in the face of impending death, the actress had decided to go on a trip around the world with her husband for a second honeymoon. Aware of his wife's disease, Lowe could be ready for any contingency. Note: In the next issue of The Buffalo Physician Dr. Sanes will continue Article VI with a discussion of the "who, how, why, what, when and where" of communication between physician and family of the cancer patient.

A total of 6,017 University people were immunized for swine flu in November and December. Dr. M. Luther Musselman, University Health Service Director, supervised the nine general clinics on the Amherst and Main Street campuses. He was assisted by the School of Nursing faculty and the University Health Service staff. Students and staff from the Schools of Pharmacy, nursing and College "H" also assisted. Pictured with Dr. Musselman is Joan F. Brownie, R.N., M.S., assistant professor of nursing and continuing education.

THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Moir Tanner Honored An endowed account to support faculty research dealing with health scien ces issues h as been established at the University in honor of former Children's Hospital director, Moir P. Tanner. President Robert L. Ketter presented a special certificate to Mr. Tanner at a luncheon in his honor. For many years Mr. Tanner was "Mr. Hospital Administration" in Western New York because of his outstanding work in health services administration. According to Daniel Roblin, chairman of the U/B Foundation, through which the fund was created, $20,000 has initially been given by the now disbanded Community Mental Health Research and Development Corp. He said board members of the non-profit organization composed of faculty in the Community Psychiatry Division at U/B voted to give the sum left in the corporation to create the Moir P. Tanner Research Fund. The fund will be available to faculty in health sciences, social sciences and law for projects relating to health sciences issues. Under Mr. Tanner's guidance of 30 years, Children's Hospital became one of the foremost pediatric centers in the nation. Special departments for prematures, occupational therapy, speech and hearing, virology, heart and cardiovascular surgery and many other areas opened during his years of leadership. He was one of the organizers of the Rotary Club/Crippled Children's Camp and served as its president for two years. He has been president of the Hospital Association of New York State and the Western New York Hospital Association. He is a life member of the American Hospital Association and has been active on health planning councils in Western New York since 1946. Among the various groups who have honored Mr. Tanner are the Variety Club, National Conference of Christians and Jews, the Episcopal Diocese, the Boy Scouts of America, and the Hospital Association of New York State. During Mr. Tanner's nearly half-century of hospital administration, he has belonged to some 30 professional and community organizations. A native of Cooperstown, he is a graduate of Albany College of Pharmacy (now Union University). His hospital career began in Buffalo in 1929 when he joined Buffalo General Hospital Administrative staff. 0 SPRING, 1977 21 �f Lucian Howe Award Dr. Charles J. Campbell (l eft), Dr. Thurber LeWin, ch airman of th e aw ards selection committee, and Dean John Naughton. Dr. Charles J. Campbell, professor and chairman of the department of ophthalmology at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, received the prestigious Lucian Howe Gold Medal December 9 at a dinner meeting of the Buffalo Ophthalmologic Club. The award is named for the eminent former Buffalo physician and U/B Medical School professor who in the 1880s pushed through the first state law requiring silvernitrate treatment to prevent blindness in newborns. Dr. Thurber LeWin, chairman of the Award Selection Committee, said Dr. Campbell was chosen because he has been " a most outstanding teacher, author and researcher. " He will be the 12th person since 1930 to receive the award. One of the most prestigious ophthalmology awards in the country, the medal was last awarded in 1973 to Dr. Arthur H. Kenney, ophthalmologist-inchief at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia. Dr. Campbell also directs the Eye Service at the Edward S. Harkness Institute of the Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. He holds a medical degree from George Washington University, a master's degree in optics from the University of Rochester and a doctor of medical science degree in ophthalmology from Columbia University. 0 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The following Continuing Medical Education programs are scheduled for April, May and June , according to Mr. Charles Hall, director of the programs.

Humbert is the new director of the division of hematology at Children's Hospital. The associate professor of pediatrics comes to Buffalo from the University of Colorado where h e served on its pediatrics and biophysics/genetics staff over the past four years. Born and educated in Switzerland, he received a diploma of medicine from the University of Geneva in 1964, trained in pediatric hematology under an NIH fellowship at the University of Colorado, and earned an MS degree in pediatrics there in 1970. He returned to Geneva as chief of University pediatrics clinics and two years later (1972) was named Privat docent. From there, he went back to Denver to head the University pediatrics clinics and to direct the Colorado hemoglobinopathy screening laboratory. What attracted Dr. Humbert to Buffalo was the high quality of its pediatrics faculty, a positive academic atmosphere he found here, and an exceptional laboratory setup with which to practice good medicine. In his training program in hematology - two trainees are currently enrolled - clinical/research experience will emphasize pediatrics hematology. Setting top priority on reopening a comprehensive care facility for those with sickle cell disease, he hopes to apply the techniques of modern medicine to this often neglected disease. His research will center mostly on host defense against infection, with emphasis on neutrophils. Author of a text, Neutrophil Physiology in Pathology, published last year, Dr. Humbert is looking into its role against cancer as well. "Shorter lived than macrophages, neutrophils have been found to move more rapidly to the site of infection, in a matter of minutes," he said. "Only recently has it been demonstrated in animal models that they are capable of interfering with proliferation of such things as tumor cells," he added. In a study on chemotaxis that he has underway, he is using new metabolic approaches to document the way it can speed up or slow down mobilization against certain infections, diseases such as sickle cell as well as pollutants. And there will also be a closer look into bacteriocidal activity which depends on oxidative metabolism. "The same oxidase which produces a substance such as hydrogen peroxide that kills bacteria can also provide a similar substance capable of killing tumor cells," he said. And he also hopes for collaborative studies on genetic elements of blood determinants (cytogenetic, chromosomal) with Dr. Robin Bannerman. Dr. Humbert is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatrics, a member of various professional societies, and has published over 30 papers in his field. 0 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �New Ophthalmology Head Dr. Edward Cotlier, professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Illinois, has been named chairman of the department of ophthalmology. Dr. Cotlier will also serve as head of ophthalmology at the Veterans, Children's, and Buffalo General Hospitals. A nationally known ophthalmologist, Dr. Cotlier is chairman of the National Eye Institute's Cataract Advisory Panel and Vision Research Program Planning Committee. He also serves on the Board of Scientific Counselors for the Institute and the Board of Scientific Advisors of the Retinitis Pigmentosa Foundation Inc. Author or co-author of more than 70 professional articles and textbook chapters, he is also editor of the book, The Eye in the Inborn Errors of Metabolism. In addition, he serves as editor of the Current Research Section of Survey of Ophthalmology and is on the editorial board of Perspectives in Ophthalmology. He is also chairman of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology's Continuing Education Course, Physiology and Biochemistry Section III. Dr. Cotlier is a Diplomate of the American Board of Ophthalmology; a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology; and a member of the American Medical Association's section on Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Last year, he received, with Dr. H. Reinglass, the American Medical Association's Knapp Award, Section on Ophthalmology. He received his BS degree from the Colegio Nacional, and his M.D. from the Universidad del Literoral, Medical School in Argentina. Prior to his joining the faculty at the University of Illinois, he was on the faculty at Washington University Medical School, St. Louis, Mo. and Commander of the Medical Corps at the U.S. Naval Hospital, Great Lakes, Ill . D SPRING, 1977 27 Dr. Collier �ErnestWitebsky Memorial Lecture Dr. Dausett When the tall, urbane Dr. Jean Dausset had ended his lecture on HLA Complex in Human Biology - it was the Sixth Annual Ernest Witebsky Memorial Lectureship - he had not only reconciled the conflict of two immunology giants over autoimmunity but satisfied the vision of the late Dr. Witebsky. Dr. Dausset opened with a photograph taken over 20 years ago. It was one of he and a very dear friend. To this friend, Dr. Felix Milgram, he then payed tribute. He followed by recalling his first meeting with Dr. Witebsky. It was back in 1948 at an international meeting of the Society of Hematology one hot summer day in Buffalo. "There was Ernest," he said, "always preceded by his legendary cigar which forever illuminated his calm, smiling face, ardently defending the purity of immunology as originally conceived by the Great Master Paul Ehrlich, against those champions of autoimmunity that included the name of William Dameshek." The French-born and educated investigator added it was several years later when Dr. Witebsky came into direct conflict with the Great Master. "It was while he was working on autoimmunity to the thyroid gland. With his scientific love of accuracy, Ernest could not escape the astonishing fact that man was capable of responding to his own antigenic determinants and contributing to his own destruction." Turning to one of the most extraordinary advances in modern biology - histocompatibility antigens - he then reviewed what is known on each animal species studied. That there is a major histocompatibility complex and that in man it is called HLA. (In 1956 Dr. Dausset was the first to discover the antigen controlled by this complex.) Continuing, he explained that in a short segment of chromosome 6 in man are found the most important genes which determine the uniqueness of each man as well as those which regulate the immune response to many antigens. In his review of the important role that major histocompatibility complex plays in tissue transplantation, he pointed to studies which show how transplantation may be improved when donor is "matched" with recipient. And he noted that in the not too distant future further improvement in transplantation may be achieved by "persuading" the recipient to ignore antigens of a graft while responding normally to other antigens such as those of pathogenic microorganisms. He added that such investigations, known as immunologic tolerance and immunological enhancement, have been carried out in animals for a number of years. Turning to recent studies which show some human diseases to be related to HLA type of patient, he noted the strongest evidence to point to Ankylosing Spondylitis in which the vast majority of patients belong to HLA type W27. He also reviewed evidence for an HLA complex relationship to MS, psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis. In connection with the relationship between diseases and HLA, Dr. Dausset then hypothesized on how the immune response may alter the body's own components. "The old Ehrlich principle of immunology is really correct," he concluded, "and Witebsky and Dameshek have been reconciled." 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Dausset is professor of immunohematology at the University of Paris and director of a large blood transfusion center and chief of service at St. Louis Hospital. A former director of the National Blood Transfusion Center and cochairman of the Institute for Blood Disease Research, he has served as a scientific advisor to the Minister of Education and the National Advisory Council. A past president of the French Society of Hematology, Dr. Dausset holds numerous memberships and offices in immunology and transplantation societies. He has been honored by the French Academy of Science, the National Center for Scientific Research, the City of Paris, and received the Stratton and Landsteiner awards. He was decorated for service in the French Army Medical Corps during World War II. Author or coauthor of three monumental books, he has more than 200 research publications to his credit. 0 Dr. Carr Named to Drug Panel D r. Edward A. Carr, Jr. has been named to a blue-ribbon commission to study adverse reactions to prescription drugs and to develop an early-warning system for doctors and the general public. Dr. Carr is professor and chairman of pharmacology and therapeutics and professor of medicine. He was picked along with Dr. Marcus M. Reidenberg of Cornell University, to represent the American Society of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics on the 18-member panel. Formation of the Joint Commission on Prescription Drug Use was announced by Senator Edward Kennedy, who declared that the public is paying a price, both in health and with dollars, because of a lack of detailed information on the subject. A prestigious panel of doctors, pharmacists, hospital officials and drug manufacturers will take part in the three-year effort to develop what Senator Kennedy called a "rational drug use policy." The Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (PMA) is underwriting most of the $250,000 annual cost. Dr. Carr praised the PMA and the industry for arranging the cooperative venture which he said he hopes can be completed in less than three years. Dr. Carr warned it would be a mistake for the public to expect the Panel to come up with a "zero risk" postmarketing drug use surveillance system. "From the standpoint of the public," Dr. Carr said, "we have drugs today that are so much better than anything we knew in the past but they are not able to perform miracles. We will always have some risk. All we can do is reduce the risk-benefit ratio. We can't guarantee a sure-fire cure and no risk. "No matter what we do, the place it all begins is in the education of the physician. It has taken a long time for medical schools to provide doctors with more training in the use of drugs. Now we must get the parent universities to support this. They are still 20 years behind the times," Dr. Carr concluded. 0 SPRING, 1977 29 Dr. Carr �1 c f f New VAH Medicine Chie f I f 1 is the new chief of medicine at the Veterans Administration Hospital. The professor of medicine comes to Buffalo from New Haven where he directed Yale University medical clinics and a primary care center for two years. After receiving the MD degree from Yale in 1964 he completed an internship and residency at Grace ew Haven Hospital in 1969, served for two years with the U.S. Public Health Corps, and spent a year in private practice (family practice and internal medicine) in a small Montana town. For Dr. Lee, Buffalo is unique in terms of both its teaching and clinical opportunities. Not only is the V.A. one of three hospitals with a strong university affiliation, but as a regional Veterans Hospital center, there is planning underway in terms of specialty services. "We have a more major role to play in developing medicine for the veteran patient and special programs in the community," he said. And with a stable patient population - there is between 75 to 95 percent occupancy of its 880 beds - he can point to great potential for teaching. "Not only is there lots of physical diagnosis available for students but an integrated clinical exposure as well." Through more input into a nurse practitioner training program in geriatrics and in adult medicine he hopes to establish a stronger Medicine/Nursing relationship as a result. He also looks forward to establishing programs with other allied health professionals as has been done with clinical pharmacists. "We are emphasizing a team approach at the YAH," he said. He noted the tremendous contributions made by former medicine chief, Dr. Joseph Aquilina. "As one without whom we could not get along, we will be drawing on the expertise of this very important member of the department," he said. Because of its unique clinical setting, he sees the Veterans Hospital as a site to develop a very effective primary care center, "one which may well develop into a model for teaching and for service," he added. The clinical researcher has always had an interest in infectious disease, with emphasis on the venereal ones. As part of a ten-year Yale study on isolated groups of South American Indians and their response to infectious diseases seen in developed countries, he believes they are close to pinpointing genetic contributions to certain groups' susceptibility to measles, etc. Dr. Lee is a Diplomate of the National Board of Medical Examiners, a member of the American Boards of Family Practice and Internal Medicine, and has published extensively in the fields of infectious diseases and sex. D D R. RICHARD LEE Dr. Lee 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN s l c ~ l t l ( s 1 c a r ~ ( s �The cytogenetics laboratory at Children's Hospital has a new director. He is Dr. Richard L. Neu, associate professor of pediatrics, who comes from Syracuse where he served on the pediatrics faculty at SUNY Upstate since 1963. After receiving an MS degree in 1961 from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (Syracuse), he worked in plant cytogenetics for a time. He recalls that human cytogenetics was a new field back in 1963. But its rapid development led him to pursue doctoral studies in this field. And in 1974 he earned a PhD degree in human genetics. While he spent much of his time at Upstate in human cytogenetics, an opportunity to join a large, well-established genetics unit headed by Dr. Robin Bannerman, is what attracted him to Buffalo. While his service load at the hospital is a heavy one - many testing procedures are underway for chromosome analysis - he hopes to start work on differential staining techniques for human chromosomes. He will also continue to teach medical and nursing students. A member of the American Society of Human Genetics, Dr. Neu has published numerous articles in the field of human genetics. 0 Two professional degrees within five months from U/B is the Gary Miller story. Dr. Miller received his M.D. degree in May and received his Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology last fall. The road to dual degrees started for Dr. Miller after he received his bachelor's degree from U/B in the spring of 1972. "I immediately applied to both the U/B medical school and to the graduate division and when I was accepted in both schools I decided to 'try' for the dual degree," Dr. Miller said. He has always been interested in medical research and the two programs supplement each other. On July 1 Dr. Miller started his rotating internship in pathology at the Buffalo General Hospital. He is working closely with Dr. John Wright, professor and chairman of the pathology department at U/B. Dr. Miller's goal is to teach and do research in a medical school. The 25-year-old native of Angola hopes to stay in Buffalo. His wife, Heidi, is a research technician in cell and molecular biology at U/B. Dr. Reed Flickinger, professor of cell and molecular biology, has guided Dr. Miller in his research the last two years. His first advisor, Dr. Lawrence Berlowitz left U/B in 1974 to work for the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation as an administrator. Dr. Miller's hobbies are bicycling and helping his mother on her Angola farm. He loves Chinese cooking and is raising Chinese vegetables 0 SPRING, 1977 31 Dr. Neu Dr. Neu Dr. Miller Dr. Miller �Dr. E. Beutner of its natural history but the role that autoimmunity may play, the immunologic findings in those treated with PUVA versus conventional treatment with tar. Although past histologic studies have failed to reveal differences in response , immunologic studies of patients treated by different methods do show some marked distinctions. Presented were some recent breakthroughs in our understanding of th e pathogenesis of pemphigus antibodies as revealed through tissue culture methods pioneered by Cleveland's Dr. B. Michel. They tend to confirm the original work on the passive transfer studies by Poland's Dr. T.P. Chorzelski and M.J. Chorzelska. Also, new findings on the e tiology of pemphigus by U/ B's Dr. Ernst Beutner point to the existence of different antigen/ antibody systems in different forms of the disease. And there were new insights into ultra structural changes in pemphigoid by Vienna's Carl Holubar via immunoelectronmicrographic studies as well as numerous striking documentation on the coexistence of Sixth Annual Conference Immunopathology of the Skin Drs. D. Deneau (Stan fo rd} and K. Judd (Boston}. It was the Sixth Annual Conference on Im- munopathology of the Skin. Sponsored by the State University at Buffalo's Departments of Microbiology and Dermatology, some 40 dermatologists, pathologists, and laboratory directors from around the world came to gain a better understanding as well as how to detect a group of autoreactive antibodies that may relate to a series of cutaneous and systemic disorders. During two days of lectures, they learned from an outstanding faculty of 14 about humoral antibodies and the role of complement - especially as it relates to autoimmune disease - as well as ways in which it may induce tissue damage. There was also a look at delayed and immediate hypersensitivity which may range from anaphylactic shock to atopic dermatitis. On psoriasis, a common disease afflicting well over two million in this country and whose course is rarely fatal but whose cost in morbidity is enormous, they not only learned 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN l �bullous disease with other autoimmune disturbances via meticulous immunopathologic/clinical studies by Dr. Chorzelski. Connective tissue diseases were reviewed. Not only did this review point to the diagnostic as well as prognostic significance of antinuclear antibodies but those to DNA and to extractable nuclear antigens as indicated in anti-ENA tests elaborated by U/B's Morris Reichlin. Also explored was the role of skin and kidney biopsies of immune responsiveness in systemic LE. Planning the conference was a committee headed by Dr. Ernst H. Beutner, professor of microbiology and dermatology. They included faculty- Drs. Russell J. Nisengard, T. P. Chorzelski, clinical advisor, (Mr.) W. L. Hale, P. Maddison, S. Shu, V. Kumar; students- J. Asaro, W. Binder, S. Krasny, and technicians P. Greenlee, D. Myers, L. Pelonero, G. Griffin. d- Drs. R. Scherer (Munich) and J. Eldridge (Westwood Pharmaceutical) . At three days of laboratory sessions, participants learned about procedures to characterize specificity I sensi ti vi ty of conjugates in a gamut of assays that range from immunochemical, biochemical to immunofluorescence (IF) ones. Highly reliable diagnostic tests for pemphigus, pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis, they have also been found to be of value in a number of others such as SLE, primary biliary cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis, pernicious anemia, thyrotoxicosis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, etc. SPRING, 1977 33 �Dr. Chorzelski Dr. P. Hebborn (Westwood Pharmaceutical} .

Hale 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Collins Heads State Medical Society The new president of the New York State Medical Society hopes to increase its membership during his tenure in office. Dr. George L. Collins, Jr. of Eden, New York, believes this is his biggest challenge. He is a 1948 Medical School graduate and a clinical assistant professor of medicine. Increasing the society's membership was the main theme of Dr. Collins' inaugural address at the society's 107th annual convention. He estimated that there are about 40,000 licensed physicians in the state who are potential members. The society lists only 27,500 of them as members. Dr. Collins will push for more members on a physician-tophysician effort on the local level. "More members means more income. And to meet the challenges that face us we need more members." The new president will be guiding the society in its stand on many issues. Among them are the state's costly medicaid program and the malpractice insurance issue. Dr. Collins also stressed the society's role as "the spokesman" on the state level for the individual physician. "Physicians who are not members have to realize the benefits from the stands we take." Dr. Collins plans on spending "about six days a month" at the society's headquarters in Lake Success and be in touch by telephone several times a day. As a councilor of the society, he has been a member of its policy making body since 1968. An internist specializing in cardiology, Dr. Collins gave up his private practice about five years ago. "I don't think I'll be able to do all the things I did when I still had a practice." He continues to be a cancer research internist at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, tending to the cardiac needs of the Institute's patients. He is also an associate physician at the Buffalo General Hospital, attending physician at Deaconess Hospital and a consultant at Bertrand-Chaffee Hospital, Springville.

Stafford Jr. has given the medical school a color lithograph by U/ B fine arts professor Harvey Breverman. It is hanging in Dean John Naughton's office suite. In his design, Breverman indicates, "my concept of a three-part composite or montage, dislocates the familiar and places it in a new context, with the boundaries of the entire image conceived in flux. Reality and illusion are juggled. A central pattern emerges of a cluster of seven faculties linked to one another, each visually textured by being superimposed over a ground plan of the Amherst Campus. "Emanating upward from this core of 'composite wisdom' is the Hayes Hall landmark, countered by a horizontal page of electronic musical notations. The lower image, which can also be read as a flat pattern, is an architectural fragment of the Ellicott Complex, in itself a capsule of the educational adventure." Dr. Stafford is a 1944 Medical School graduate. He is a clinical associate professor of neurology and a clinical associate in anatomical sciences. The U/B Foundation commissioned Professor Breverman to design a color lithograph representative of the University for the President's Associates, a group of alumni and benefactors who have contributed substantial financial support to the University.

As physicians, we realize that almost as important as the facts of existence are the opinions of those involved in that existence. If we are fortu·n~te we can cultivate a sensitivity for the feelings of others, listening Wit a " third ear" to the underlying emotional needs of those about us. Concern rather than indifference is the key. Equally important is the appreciation of the role of chance in shaping our destinies. . This summer I chanced to visit the Viennese apartment wher~ 5 '~~ mund Freud lived and conducted his practice. Just as Dr. Freud, 10 t best traditions of medicine, was a helper and guide to others, so we can be the paraclete showing the way to our patients. We try to lead .thern from sickness to health; from anxiety to confidence; from depressiOn to emotional harmony. In this time of challenge to the practice of medicine as generation~ have known it, the future will tend to become increasingly impersona with the further encroachment of third parties into the physician-patient equation. It will be to our credit for us to continue the pursuit of ~he high ideals of medicine despite the dehumanizing pressures of mstitutionalized regimentation.

WINTER, 1974 1 �·, Dean Naug hton Dr. Naughton Named Dean President Robert L. Ketter has recommended to the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York that Dr. John Naughton be appointed dean of the U/ B School of Medicine beginning March 1, 1975. The 41-year-old Dr. Naughton has been dean for academic affairs at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington, D.C. for the past year. He has had 11 years experience in medical education. While much of his experience has been at George Washingtonserving as professor of medicine as well as director of the division of rehabilitation medicine and director of the Regional Rehabilitation and Trainiryg Center - he was also instructor and assistant professor of medicine at the University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Oklahoma City; and associate professor of medicine and director of the Rehabilitation Center at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago. In addition to his expertise in medical education, Dr. Naughton has served on community and Federal projects, including the National Heart and Lung Institute Task Force on Cardiac Rehabilitation and the District of Columbia's Mayor's Task Force on Out-Patient Care. He has served in editorial positions on five professional journals and is author of some 60 papers. Dr. Naughton is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, the American College of Physicians, and the American College of Sports Medicine. He also received a three-year fellowship under the International Health Research Act-Social Rehabilitation Service. In addition, he has served as consultant to the Social Security Administration, Social and Rehabilitation Service, Dallas Cardiac Institute and the National Heart and Lung Institute. Society memberships include the Washington Heart Association, Association of American Medical Colleges, American College of Cardiology, American College of Sports Medicine, American Society of Internal Medicine, and the American Congress of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

In July, Health Sciences Vice President Dr. F. Carter Pannill assumed acting deanship of the school. 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Greco Gives $50,000 to Medical School Dr. Pasquale A. Greco, a 1941 graduate of the U/ B Medical School and Chief of Urology at the Millard Fillmore Hospital, has established a loan fund, bearing his name, to provide loans up to $2,500.00 per academic year to qualified U/B Medical Students. Dr. Greco's gift to the University, through the U/B Foundation, Inc., of $50,000 will be directed at Junior or Senior students in the U/ B School of Medicine who are residents of Western New York, and whose performance, in the opinion of the Scholarship Committee, indicates they possess the potential . of becoming outstanding clinicians in their community. Qualified students who apply for loans to the School of Medicine will undergo a detailed need analysis which will consider how the student has financed his education thus far, and how he will be financing the remainder of his education in the future. The complete academic record of the students involved shall also be included in the need analysis. Dr. Greco, who received a student loan while attending Medical School, has always felt that the University, and particularly its Medical School, were sympathetic to his financial problems, thereby helping him to graduate. " I nurtured this thought through the years, hoping that someday I could express, in a material way, my appreciation. I feel that a student needing help would appreciate a loan, as I did, and would be happy to repay it in the future to perpetuate assistance for other deserving students." Dr. Greco hopes to encourage other physicians to make similar donations. He would like to perpetuate this kind of philanthropy, he admits. Dr. Greco, a clinical assistant professor of urology at U/ B, also serves as Chief of Urology at Emergency, and Columbus Hospitals in addition to private practice. Dr. Greco has participated in many community and philanthropic activities and was most recently commended by the National Jewish Hospital and Research Center, Denver, Colorado as their 1973 Honor Award recipient for civic and charitable work. O WINTER, 1974 3 Dr. Greco, Preside11t Ketter �Dr. Sultz Dr. Sultz Links Diabetes to Mumps Dr. Harry A. Sultz has some new evidence linking juvenile diabetes mellitus with the mumps virus. The professor of epidemiology and acting chairman of the department of social and preventive medicine at the Medical School reported his findings at the 102nd annual meeting of the American Public Health Association in New Orleans in October. Dr. Sultz said the incidence of juvenile diabetes closely paralleled the cyclic infectious disease pattern which generally peaks every seven years. " Highs and lows in the occurrence of diabetes followed those for mumps by about four years in our long-term childhood illness study based on Erie County hospital and private pediatric records for the 25year period from 1946-1971." There were no parallels between diabetes and other infectious diseases such as chickenpox, whooping cough and measles. He pointed out animal experiments and other investigations in recent years have supported the theory that diabetes- as well as a number of other degenerative diseases - may result from development of an au to immune response to so-called " slow" viruses. " The pancreas, which is the organ involved in insulin production, is particularly susceptible to the mumps virus and may harbor it for as long as four years. During this time, the organ may build up an autoimmune response which destroys insulin production and results in juvenile diabetes mellitus," Dr. Sultz said. He cautioned that the adult form of diabetes results from a completely different mechanism. Figures showing a sharp rise in the incidence of diabetes among boys during 1950-1960 may be explained by the common practice of exposing preadolescent boys to mumps to prevent possible sterility which can result from contracting the disease after puberty, Dr. Sultz observed. As part of the study, Dr. Sultz interviewed parents of about onethird of the diabetic patients to find whether their children had been exposed to mumps or contracted the disease prior to the onset of diabetes, and, if so, how long before. " Some 50 per cent of 118 cases of juvenile diabetes had been exposed to mumps or had the disease about four years before evidence of diabetes; and an additional eleven per cent had received the live virus mumps vaccine," Dr. Sultz reported. He indicated in many of the other cases, parents' recollections were vague as to whether their children had been exposed to or contracted mumps. The observed time lag and the time involved in an autoimmune reaction are consistent and strengthen the study's findings that mumps may be a cause of juvenile diabetes. But Dr. Sultz emphasized these research findings support evidence suggested by other investigators over the past half-century. " We hope virologists will pursue the question and come up with more definite answers," he said. Co-investigators on the project were Dr. Benjamin A. Hart; Dr. Maria Zielezny, U/ B assistant professor of biostatistics, and the late Dr. Edward R. Schlesinger of the University of Pittsburgh' s Graduate School of Public Health. v 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �$16,000 Loan Fund Dr. Harry G. LaForge, a graduate of both the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and School of Pharmacy, has made $16,000 available to the U/B Foundation for use by medical students as emergency short-term loans. The $16,000 represents the funds which have accumulated in the former Medical School Student Council Loan Fund. Dr. LaForge and a 1934 classmate, Dr. J. Edwin Alford, have been trustees of this fund which has not experienced a loan default since its inception in 1935. As chairman of a campaign to increase the principal of the loan fund , Dr. LaForge is asking all former recipients to contribute amounts equal to their original loans. Dr. Pasquale Greco, a 1941 graduate of the medical school and chief of urology at the Millard Fillmore Hospital, was granted such a loan. Last month, Dr. Greco made $50,000 available to the U/ B Foundation for medical student scholarship assistance as opposed to short-term emergencies. Monies from The University at Buffalo Medical School Student Loan Fund, its new name, are available to upperclass medical students in good standing academically. Applications are in the office of the dean of the medical school. Dr. LaForge is past president of the Buffalo Academy of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and past president of the Buffalo General Hospital Medical Board. He is a Diplomate of the National Board of Medical Examiners, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a Founding Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In 1944 he established another student loan fund bearing his name, from which $20,000 has been loaned to medical and pharmacy students. In 1948, he established a research fund at Buffalo General Hospital. Dr. LaForge was an associate clinical professor of medicine at U/ B from 1937 to 1972, president of the General Alumni Board in 1959-60, a member of the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education founding committee, and a member of the University of Buffalo Council before the state merger in 1962. In 1961, Dr. LaForge received the Samuel P. Capen Award which is given annually to the alumnus who has made notable and meritorious contributions influencing the growth and improvement of the University and thereby stimulating other alumni to give active interest and material support.

They have come by word of mouth , by telephone and by letter . They have reinforced my morale. I am now - 18 months after the diagnosis of disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma and the onset of therapy - psychologically adjusted to my disease and its treatment. I am physically fairly comfortable and leading a satisfyingly active life intellectually and socially. Yet it is good to hear from old friends and former students , to know that they are thinking of me, that I am not forgotten . **** * Among the letters that I received after the publication of my first article was one from a physician and his wife , a registered nurse . Both had been students of mine in Pathology 25-30 years ago . In their letter they speculated that we might all be better health practitioners if , as students, we had experienced the many illnesses we would later have to diagnose and treat in our patients. As a teacher in medicine , nursing and medical technology, I too have toyed with the thought that such a " learning experience" would aid in the development of highly empathic physicians, nurses and technologists . It is , of course, impossible to include such a " learning experience" in the medical curriculum. Some clinical conditions are not anatomically and physiologically feasible for both sexes. The male medical student could never experience pregnancy and labor , or the female student enlargement of the prostate. Just running through those that are feasible would delay the practice of medicine indefinitely. Students would be so busy being patients that they would never have time to become medical practitioners . Then we would really have a serious shortage of physicians. Nor would such a " learning experience" really accomplish its purpose. If our students were to live to be graduated, all of the diseases they 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �experienced would have to be completely resolvable by themselves or curable, preferably by medical means , without sequelae. This might give students more empathy with patients undergoing tension headache, URI , impacted cerumen and basal cell carcinoma, but it wouldn' t help them empathize with patients suffering from a potentially fatal disease like disseminated cancer. Such empathy couldn' t be acquired by subjecting themselves to a " learning experience" for which they were guaranteed a magical recovery or cure not available to everyone else. (What about students experiencing diagnostic procedures, like sigmoidoscopy, needle biopsy of the liver, etc. , which they will order or do on their future patients?) * **** There are, however , ways in which medical students might learn more than they now do about the physical, psychologic, social and economic problems faced by patients with chronic " incurable" diseases , including disseminated cancer. They could read - along with their scientific text books , journals, atlases and laboratory manuals- some of the general literature (fiction, poetry, autobiography, etc.) written by and about chronic " incurable" patients over the years. (Possibly this series in The Buffalo Physician could tell them something.) And is it too far-fetched to suggest that they might attend lectures or discussions at which they could hear and question a guest faculty of physicians, medical students, nurses and lay persons who have themselves had to meet, as best they could , the problems of chronic, " incurable" disease? * **** What has my own " learning experience" taught me about how to respond to another patient - particularly a professional colleague with disseminated cancer? On the basis of that experience, and contacts with other physicianpatients, I have formulated a list of " woulds " and " would nots." Here are five from that list. -I WOULD keep in touch with him , particularly during critical periods of his illness. -I WOULD NOT necessarily express my assurance and good wishes in the conventional ways that symbolize remembrance to a patient spending five to ten days in the hospital with a recoverable , controllable, curable disease. -I WOULD determine whether he welcomes the opportunity to discuss his disease and its treatment and , if so, discuss them with him . -I WOULD NOT overlook or minimize his symptomatic or physical state and assume- or pretend- that everything is the same as it was before his diagnosis and treatment. -I WOULD guard against revealing undue pessimism or offering extravagant optimism on prognosis. ***** WINTER , 1974 7 Mortality and survival i>~ lymphomaleukemia received >Jotice du ring 1974 in pri11t a>Jd on the air through reports O>l i11dividual patien ts. Three of the patien ts were well-known professionals i11 the 11ews media. �Frank McGee, N BC- T V news co mm entator and hos t on th e network's TOO A Y s how, aged 52, d ied A pril1 7, 1974, f rom multi p le m ye lo ma co mpli cat ed by pr1 eum onia. He had bee n ill and under treatm ent fo r fou r y ears. As to " keeping in touch ." In my own case, I have until now gone through one critical period - the first three months after diagnosis of disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma and the onset of treatment. My major battle was a mental and emotional one, and I needed all of the support I could get. I'm sure that support is equally necessary and appreciated in at least two other critical periods- when disseminated cancer turns resistant to available types of therapy, becomes progressive and recurring and finally when it lapses into a terminal stage. The patient with disseminated cancer who is psychologically adjusted and physically comfortable, who can do some work and carry on familial, social and community activities, has less - or no - need for special attention. His friends will sense his self-reliance and independence. It was interesting to me how the professional colleagues and coworkers who sustained me during those critical first three months sensed when I began to take hold of myself. When I reached the point where I could go it more or less alone, they stepped out of the picture and let me do so . I am sure, if I need them again , they will be there . I must say here that there are certain patients who never adjust psychologically to their disease and its treatment, even when their cancer is under therapeutic control or carries a favorable prognosis . Some openly reject the persons who try to keep in touch with them . Others accept the attention, but are so bitter and resentful that they make their friends feel guilty for being healthy. I think of a respected physician in his late 50s . Before his illness he was an easygoing, genial fellow , the life of the 10 AM staff gatherings in the hospital coffee shop, the source of most of the humor and the best of the repartee. His whole personality and behavior have changed since his diagnosis and treatment for carcinoma of the prostate with bony metastases, though the disease is still under symptomatic control after orchiectomy and with hormonal therapy. He is sullen and unpleasant. He repulses the overtures of professional colleagues and co-workers, even those closest to him. Gradually they are giving up on him. They have their own problems and responsibilities. Their time is limited, as is the fund of emotion they have to dispense. They are concluding, one after the other, that in this fast-moving world their time and emotion are best spent on those who need and welcome such expenditure. *** ** As to ways of expressing assurance. I would consider the needs of the patient. The short-term hospital patient with a recoverable, controllable, curable disease can usually look forward to a full , normal life. A patient with disseminated cancer has a chronic, lingering illness. He may be homebound , even confined to a bed or wheelchair. He knows he is facing death . He is liable to feel isolated, lonely, self-absorbed and depressed at times . Let me illustrate the point I am trying to make by referring to the 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �commonest ways of expressing assurance - flowers , greeting cards and visits. The bouquet of freshly-cut flowers will cheer the disseminated cancer patient as it does the short-term hospital patient, but only for a brief time. It lasts just a few days . Watching the flowers wither and die may even remind an introspective cancer patient with a bent toward thinking symbolically of his own mortality. A plant, a terrarium or a dish garden, on the other hand , will last indefinitely, signifying persistent survival. It symbolizes remembrance over a long period. Tending it, watching it grow, the patient sees it as a friend . He is drawn out of himself. The continuing life of the plant cheers him , gives him a more optimistic outlook on his own life. So, too, the greeting card that bids the short-term patient " have a speedy recovery" or cracks wise about illness is obviously inappropriate for the patient who is never go ing to get well. And the verses and sentiments on cards designed specifically for the " incurable" are often enough to plunge such a patient into a deeper depression than that which he has yet experienced. But why send a card at all? There are other ways to get a message of assurance over. A letter or note will serve. It need not be a lengthy one on formal stationery. Indeed a couple of sentences of remembrance and encouragement can be written on a prescription blank. A postcard sent from a trip to an out-of-town meeting brings the world of medicine closer, for a moment, to the patient who can no longer participate actively in it. So does a copy of the monthly newsletter of the hospital where he had been a staff member or a clipping from a newspaper or medical journal on some topic of interest to him. In visiting a chronic cancer patient, particularly in a critical period, you have to play it by ear or take a cue from his wife. There are times when he will want you to stick around , when he'll want to hold on to your company. Other times , when he is having symptoms from his disease or sideeffects from his treatment, a visit must be brief. (Toward the end the patient may choose to see only those closest to him.) If it is impossible to find time to visit him in person, he - or his wife, who needs support too- will welcome a telephone call. It is important not to promise offhandedly a visit or a phone call and then fail to make it. Anticipation that is not fulfilled may add " disappointment" to the patient's depressive feelings. **** * A husband and wife, both physicians, have exemplified to me the best possible course for dealing with a professional colleague and friend with disseminated cancer and the side-effects of treatment. As soon as they learned of my diagnosis , they got in touch with me and kept in touch frequently through those critical first three months. They phoned me, or my wife, regularly. They were always solicitous and reasonably hopeful. When they went out of town they sent me postcards. WINTER , 1974 9 Stewart Alsop, political c• <m11ist for NEWSWEEK magazine, aged 60, died May 26, 1974, from myeloblastic leukemia. His disease had been first diagnosed in July, 1971. Mr. Alsop wrote the story of his illness in a book, perfectly titled "Stay of Execution." �They have a farm where they spend their weekends. Each Sunday evening, on their way home, they stopped for a few minutes to talk of what had been happening and to leave gifts of their homegrown produce -cucumbers, squash, zucchini, tomatoes. A large, expensive bouquet of long-stemmed American Beauty roses wouldn' t have meant so much. As I improved psychologically and physically, their visits and calls were less frequent, but they still kept in touch. >t Barry Bingham ]r., since 1971 editor and pub lisher of the Louisville, Ky., m orning COURIER -JOURNAL and the evening TIMES, aged 40, w as discovered to have H odg kin 's Disease not long after he too k over th e newspapers.

T oday 's "cure rate" fo r Hod g kin 's Disease, Stage 1- 11, is over 70%; the fiveyear surv iva l rate fo r adv anced stages is over 5 0 %. ~ ~- . :_. •' .. **** Parenthetically - while on the subject of ways of expressing assurance- professional colleagues in general seemed less attuned to my mental and emotional needs during those critical first three months than did my co-workers in nursing, social service, medical technology and medical illustration and photography. A social worker in the cancer institute, a woman with a medical background who, some years ago, had audited my lectures in sophomore Pathology, accidentally discovered that I was a patient. Unknown to me she kept a record of my appointments in the lymphoma-leukemia clinic. Whenever I went in, she would " just happen" to run into me and we would talk for ten or fifteen minutes. Those seemingly " chance encounters" were very supportive to me. The president of the local association of medical technologists called on me at home during the early course of my disease, bringing a message, and a remembrance, on behalf of herself and the membership. How often, I wonder, do medical groups take official cognizance of a member with a chronic, long-term, confining, incapacitating, debilitating, potentially fatal illness? As to discussions and conversations. Some physician-patients with disseminated cancer, I have found , want to talk openly about their disease with their professional colleagues. They feel frustrated when a visitor skirts the subject, talking of everything else instead. This is not true of all patients. One physician I knew would burst into tears whenever the word " cancer" was brought up in his presence, even if no reference was made to his own condition. On the other hand, I personally welcomed the opportunity to discuss my disease and its treatment openly and frankly with my fellow physicians. (Perhaps it was the medical teacher in me coming out.) Discussion of my experiences was a catharsis. It helped me accept the reality of my plight and made adjustment easier. Yet hardly any of my professional colleagues ever broached the subject of my disease during our conversations in visits at my home or when we ran into each other outside. If I raised the subject myself, I could see that it made some uncomfortable, ill at ease. They quickly changed the subject or direction of the conversation. If they did mention my illness, they resorted to euphemisms rather than calling it by its name, " cancer," or " reticulum cell sarcoma." Even after I had become somewhat adjusted psychologically, the 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �evasive, euphemistic responses of my colleagues bothered me. They nullified the purpose of our conversations. Instead of bringing us together, those conversations left me feeling not only isolated but also alienated from the person who was talking to me. It was as if there was a glass curtain between us. Inwardly I found myself sympathizing with professional colleagues as I noted their difficulties in sympathizing with me outwardly. Sometimes it worried me that they seemed more scared than I was. Could it be, I wondered, that they knew something I didn ' t know about my diagnosis and prognosis - something from which they were trying to protect me by their silence? Four examples will illustrate what I mean. -One colleague of long standing with whom I had always had a close relationship came up to my wife and me at a public dinner. He chatted with her for several minutes, never acknowledging my presence. To him, I thought, I am already a ghost. (And I wasn' t being paranoid.) -One physician on a visit to my home talked to me for half an hour about everything except my disease. Then, when I left the room but was not out of earshot, he questioned my wife sotto voce about all of the things he had been afraid to ask me. -One morning while waiting my turn for a checkup at the cancer institute I recognized in the corridor an out-of-town physician whom I had known for years. I went up to him and inquired what he was doing there. He had brought in a patient for consultation, he replied. He didn' t ask why I was there but, assuming that he might be curious, I told him. " Yeah, yeah ," he muttered. " I heard some time ago that you had a problem. " And without adding more he reverted to talk about his patient. -Another physician, when I told him of my diagnosis, subjected me to a careful clinical history. Then, on leaving, he said: " That's it. That's all. This is the last time I' ll ever mention your condition to you ." From a conversational standpoint, the best thing that happened to me during the early months of my disease was developing shingles. Here was something professional colleagues and co-workers, as well as lay persons, could converse about freely, relate to, identify with. They had no inhibitions, embarrassment or aversion. Indeed , they seemed eager to discuss the subject, relaxed about it. For my shingles they gave me the empathy and assurance they couldn ' t express for my cancer. ** *** As to gaug ing the patient's symptomatic and physical state. It's easy for a healthy, active professional colleague to overlook or minimize that state. How a patient responds to a colleague's attentions will often depend on how he is feeling or looking at the time. If his response is less than enthusiastic, that doesn' t mean that it will always be. In my own case, I suspect that I lost friends, during the first three months after my diagnosis and onset of treatment, by my refusal of luncheon and dinner invitations. In the American culture, one of the ways to show attention , WINTER, 1974 11 Lym phoma- leukemia as a group is the most frequent type of cancer among high school, college and graduate school (illcludill!( that of medicine) students. Fo r 1974 the 11atio11al pri11t a11d televisio11 news services featured high school gradu atio11 stories 011 studen ts with Hodgkin's Disease and leukemia. The AP told of 17-year-old Ci11dy Co11way, Dallas, Texas, who received her diploma in a hospital bed where she had spe11t the last two mo11ths of the school year. The or(~i11al dia.~11os is of Hodgki11's Disease had bee11 made about twc years previously. �Th e m ost fam ous American reported in 1974 as a patient with " lymph oma" was Charles A. Lindberg h. A ged 72, he died Aug. 26 f rom "can ce r of th e lymphatic sys tem ." Th e disease, of one y ear's duratio n, bega n w ith s hing les and loss of we(~ ht. goodwill or kindness is to invite someone to eat with you . On the surface, such an invitation is a good idea for the patient with disseminated cancer, who needs to get out and see other people, to get his mind off his own problems. But radiation and chemotherapy may produce a variety of sideeffects . They should be taken into account by the person who proffers a luncheon or dinner invitation. For three weeks during radiation treatment, because of painful dysphagia from pharyngitis, I lived on macaroni and milk. I had a dry mouth , loss and perversion of taste. I was constantly nauseated. Food was my least concern. I just could not have savored a lavish gourmet meal preceded by cocktails. (Incidentally, alcohol may be a social lubricant but physically it is not an emollient for radiation pharyngitis .) Certain of the luncheon-dinner invitations from professional colleagues that I declined during those weeks were never repeated. Those who had made them obviously did not understand the reason for my declining their invitations and were hurt because I did so. (Their attitude prompted remorse on my part, further contributing to my psychological difficulties.) Such lack of understanding was compounded in some colleagues by their obviously hyperbolic cheerfulness about my general symptomatic and physical state. " Boy, do you look great! " one physician exclaimed boisterously, slapping me on the back. I had lost about 15 pounds in three weeks under radiation therapy . I was still wearing a shirt with a size 17 collar on a neck that a size 16 might have fitted loosely. The posterior part of my scalp exposed a saucer-sized irregular area of alopecia. My hemoglobin had dropped from 15 to 11 grams and my hematocrit from 49 to 35 . When I looked in the mirror before starting to shave in the morning I saw a face that could have served as a model for the tragic ~ide of the mask of Drama . " What do you say to someone like that?" I asked another patient with active recurring lymphoma of 11 years duration , a man who was under continuing chemotherapy with constant side-effects. The patient, who before his illness had been an administrator in a school of medicine , answered : " Outwardly I accept the remark graciously and gratefully . But inside myself I think bitterly ' I only wish I felt that great. ' " A recent report noted that cancer patients " loathed being told by families and friends how well they were looking when they knew they were looking and feeling bad. " * *** * As to revealing in any way, even unconsciously, attitudes on prog nosis. I would not add to a physician-patient's burden by undue pessimism (some M .D .s, particularly when a colleague is concerned , just naturally equate cancer with " that's the end" ) nor would I offend his intelligence with extravagant optimism. Unless his disease is therapy-resistant or terminal , the average physician with disseminated cancer clings to what hope - however tenuous- there is for control rather than cure of his type of lesion , just as other patients do. (The sick physician is first of all a patient.) 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �But because of his scientific training and background , he knows better than they do (if he' s thinking straight) how serious his disease is and cannot be fooled by breezy overstatement of hope. A physician-patient reacts not only to what his professional colleagues (including those taking care of him) say about prognosis but how they say it. He finds clues in their facial expressions, vocal inflections , pauses and interruptions in conversation, physical gestures. Even when he is reasonably well-adjusted , he is vulnerable to any indication of hopelessness. I still remember three instances from the early months of my illness. -A physician whom I met on the street spoke of everything but my diagnosis . Then, in parting, he clasped my hand tightly. Solemn-faced, he softly bade me " Good luck, take care." -Another physician telephoned me after learning about my reticulum cell sarcoma. He asked how I was feeling. When I replied automatically, in the socially-expected manner, " Fine," he paused perceptibly. Then, with what seemed to me a note of surprise and skepticism, he exclaimed, " Really!?" -And there was the pathologist who interrupted our matter-of-fact conversation about my condition to ask abruptly , in his best " mortalityreview" manner , " By the way, Sam, how old are you now?" Extravagant, breezy optimism on prognosis can be just as bad as , if not worse than, undue pessimism, since it assumes that the patient is not really too bright and can be fooled . About ten days after my first biopsy, an internist who knew of my diagnosis came up to me in the hospital corridor. I had just had my sutures removed and was on my way to pay a social visit to the Pathology Department. I was yet to be checked for the extent of my disease upon which treatment and prognosis would depend . " Reticulum cell sarcoma - nothing to worry about," the internist told me confidently. " A few shots of X-ray and you 'll be home free. I have several patients with reticulum cell sarcoma who are doing fine. They have never required drugs. In fact, one young fellow who was diagnosed about 15 years ago has gone all this time without any treatment and is still playing tennis. " (My first thought, as a pathologist, though retired , was 'T d like to review the slides .") Eight months later I met the same internist in the same corridor. And I learned that breezy optimism was his approach to d isease in others - not in himself. This time he was so preoccupied that he almost didn' t see me. When he did, he made only the most superficial inquiry about how I was doing before blurting out: ' Tm on my way to the Pathology Department to find out the result on a specimen I left there. Two days ago a dermatologist removed a small brown lesion from the skin of my left temple. He's considering " cancer" as a possible diagnosis . Believe me, I'm scared to death . I want to get the pathologist's opinion as soon as possible. " That he did - and the opinion of two other pathologists as well. Their diagnosis was unanimous: " Pigmented seborrheic keratosis - benign. " ***** I shall always remember with gratitude and affection all of the WINTER, 1974 13 During 1974 th e m os t w ide ly-p ublicized case of lymphoma in a physicia n was that of Or. Jus tin].

Georges Pompidou, president of France, aged 62, died April 2, 1974, from multiple myeloma. In 1969 on entering the presidency he appeared in excellent health. In mid-1973, external effects of his disease and treatment were evident. Publicly President Pompidou put on a casual, witty, courageous front. To his wife he confided, " I didn 't think that anyone could suffer so much." He was informed of impending death by his son, who is a physician . professional colleagues and co-workers who have responded to me in any way during the year and a half course of my disease . (for those in examples I've cited , I fully understand the mental and emotional obstacles which blocked their relating to me freely and easily, openly and frankly . Some, I'm sure, were caught between their desire to comfort and the fear of causing hurt.) Let me tell you specifically about four colleagues whose attentions were particularly helpful during the critical first three months after my diagnosis and the onset of radiation treatment. Each had a distinctive professional relationship to me. They were : -An 83-year-old gastroenterologist who had been my teacher in medical school and with whom I had maintained a friendship for 45 years. -A 68-year-old out-of-Buffalo surgeon who had been my resident in gynecology when I was an intern. -A 41-year-old pathologist who had served his residency in the department of which I was a director and had subsequently been associated with me in practice and teaching. -A 25-year-old intern who had been a sophomore student in my laboratory section the year I retired from UB 's Department of Pathology. The gastroenterologist, with health problems of his own , was unable to visit me personally because he had given up driving an automobile. He telephoned me immediately after he learned of my diagnosis . from then on he called me or my wife two or three times a week with words of encouragement. He informed me of patients with a similar diagnosis who were responding to treatment. He kept alive my interest in medicine by asking my opinion on patients whom he was seeing, by quizzing me on material from the medical literature he had read , by seeking my impressions on matters of medical interest in the daily newspaper. The out-of-town surgeon, suffering from a serious brain lesion himself , wrote regular letters in a shaky script, telephoned long distance when he could no longer write legibly and once came to see me , accompanied by his wife, driven by a university student whom he had employed as a chauffeur. We had an agreement that if I came across reports of anything new concerning his disease I would let him know immediately and he would do the same for me. We argued about our prognoses. He maintained that disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma - because of the availability of radiation treatment, chemotherapy and immunotherapy- had a chance for a better outcome than the lesion which afflicted him. He died a year ago , several weeks after a craniotomy from which he never rallied. The pathologist telephoned regularly, dropped in unannounced for brief visits and occasionally came to spend the evening. In the three months after diagnosis and onset of treatment, he was the only personal link I had with what had been my professional world for 42 years . The intern is himself a patient with Hodgkin's Disease, which was diagnosed when he was a sophomore student in the last laboratory section I taught before retirement. He told me about his disease at that time and I visited him when he was hospitalized for a staging laparotomy and splenectomy. With his disease under control, he finished medical school, was 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �graduated and took an internship outside of Buffalo. Somehow he heard about my diagnosis of disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma and wrote me in May, 1973. (I have also received mail from him since then.) Each word, coming from a former student who had been through it all himself - diagnosis, treatment, side effects, psychologic struggle was loaded for me with empathy and assurance. He wrote: " Dear Dr. Sanes : " I have heard through the medical grapevine of your illness and can' t tell you what shocking news that was to me. To be faced with malignancy is never an easy experience, but to have this burden so soon after starting a ' new' life makes matters so much more difficult. " I have felt the fear and frustration that you feel now. I know very well what it is like to wonder what the future will bring. " I understand that you are responding well to therapy and that chances for cure are excellent. I pray that you will continue to do well and trust that you will return to active life when the stresses of ex hausting therapy are no longer there. " ' Carpe diem.' We must learn to appreciate each day and prize each opportunity to enjoy our lives and loved ones. " " Fondest regards to Mrs. Sanes."

" This is the approach that has been successful the last two and one-half years at Buffalo's VA Hospital in treating veterans who have an alcoholism problem. " It is important that our patients see others in the clinic who are doing well. We also want to keep our operation relatively small so we won' t lose person to person contact," Dr. Lucille Lewandowski, clinic director said . She is also a clinical instructor in psychiatry at the Medical School. " Detoxification, rehabilitation and changing the veterans ' life style are the major goals of the alcoholism clinic. It is important that the veteran has enough confidence in our staff to come back often for visits. We must motivate him and try to help him. We want to return the veteran to normal life as a useful and productive citizen." 16 Dr. Lewandowski encourages family members to attend Al-Anon meetings so they can learn how to adjust to living with an alcoholic. These meetings are run by people who are living with and coping with an alcoholic. Since the clinic opened July 1 , 1972, the 40bed ward has been full . The average stay is six weeks , but some stay longer depending on their needs. Repeaters stay only a few days , according to Dr. Lewandowski . " We also treat about 200 outpatients, who come back regularly for medication and counseling.

WINTER, 1974 several second year students spent one semester in the clinic last spring as their electives. From September 1973 to May 1974, four physiology trainees and a social work student did a major portion of their field work in our program. " Eight of the 40 beds are located in a " detoxification area" close to the nurses ' station for patients who require immediate and intensive care. Patients in this area receive treatment designed toward the safe withdrawal from the chronic misuse of alcohol. Other beds are for patients in progressive stages of recovery: -Restricted patients who are out of " detoxification" but continue to need close observation and care by the staff. They are restricted to the ward proper. They may not leave the ward unless escorted by a staff member. -Patients with " modified privileges" who still need close observation, but are permitted to leave the ward escorted by another " privileged" patient with prior consent (only) of the nurse in charge of the ward. -Patients with " full privileges." These patients are permitted to leave the ward (without escort) and have general access to other areas of the hospital such as patients' dining room, hospital recreation areas, library, canteen service, hospital movies and entertainments, etc. When leaving the ward, these patients must at all times sign out, giving time and destination. The only criteria for entering the clinic is veteran status and some indication of an alcohol problem. " And of course the person must be willing to come in. We won' t take a person who is too disturbed for our open setting and fortunately we haven' t had many of these. " �T wo patients in the recreation therapy room.

" Another of our aims is to restore the patient to the best possible physical condition. The full medical facilities of the hospital - special clinics, X-ray, operating facilities , psychiatric treatment, cardiology, etc. - are utilized to the same extent as for patients in any other ward of the hospital," Dr. Lewandowski said. " At least one-half of our patients are employed and another 25 per cent are on a pension. Probably only about 10 per cent are employable, but chose not to work. " Every Thursday an employment counselor from the New York State Employment Agency comes to the VA to visit with patients about job opportunities. " The first 10 days is the worst for the patient because he is restless and irritable while withdrawing from alcohol. Then it becomes easier and he usually wants to stay. He usually becomes involved in group meetings and recreation activities and other types of therapy. " There are no ' half-way houses' in Buffalo and this is a major problem in rehabilitation.

You can' t expect a person to survive in a room," the clinic director said. There is a wide range of activities for the patient to help him become a more responsible citizen. Four days a week there are small group therapy and problem solving meetings and AA meetings. Each group meeting is moderated by one or more staff members designated as " group leaders" . The meetings are designed to enable patients to participate in small group discussions aimed at their individual and group improvement. Other therapeutic activities include- leather and rug making; wood, metal and plastics work; corrective therapy and electronics and educational improvement. There are also recreational activities - pool, cards, table tennis, puzzles, painting, golf and bowling. Other hospital facilities and services are available such as Chaplain Services, social services, canteen, library, lounges, barber shop, etc. Marital counseling and family therapy are also offered. After two or three weeks in the hospital, patients may take passes to go home for one day or a weekend. Toward the end of hospitalization, patient and staff decide on a suitable discharge date. Some patients go to work and return to the hospital to stay for a short period, while others come to the hospital in the morning and return home at night. After discharge, patients are encouraged to return periodically for individual sessions, group therapy or medication. Dr. Lewandowski is a 1954 Medical School graduate (she received her BA in History in 1952 after entering Medical School). She interned and took her residency in general practice at the Millard Fillmore Hospital, 1954-56. She practiced in Arcade for two and one-half years (1956-59) and then spent two and one-half years in Saudi Arabia with the Arabian American Oil Company. In 1964 she became associated with the Buffalo State Hospital as a psychiatric resident, and in 1967 started the alcoholism program there. In 1972 she moved to the VA Hospital to work in general psychiatry and the alcohol program. Her present position is chief of alcohol and drug programs.

Urbaschek Dr. Neter Receiv es Honorary Degree It was one of the most memorable days in his entire life. As Dr. Erwin Neter accepted the honorary degree bestowed on him by the University of Heidelberg he turned to its director of immunology and serology who had flown to Buffalo for the occasion and thanked Dr. Bernhard U rbaschek for his "very moving words. " To his wife louise there was an acknowledgment for " all you have done for me." And to Stephen who had come from California an expression of pleasure that his son could be there. He reflected on his years as a student in Heidelberg where he had earned a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1934 and years later a gold medal for his contributions in research. It was here where he met his future teacher, the late Dr. Ernest Witebsky. In sharing thoughts on his many years as part of the department of microbiology now headed by Dr. Felix Milgram and of pediatrics by Dr. Jean Cortner, there was recognition that both of these departments and the Medical School have given him "one of my most precious gifts that academic institutions can providean atmosphere in which research can progress in a clinical setting. " 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �There were acknowledgments by others. From vice president for health sciences and acting dean of the Medical School Dr. F. Carter Pannil! there was an expression of pride that " we at the University are part of this significant mark in the events of one of our faculty. " From Dr. Urbaschek how honored he was to present to " one who can apply his research to clinical medicine, to think, act, critically analyze scientific knowledge. " And from Children's Hospital Board of Managers' President and German Consul, Mrs. Nathaniel A . Barrell, congratulations also. Dr. Neter is professor of microbiology and of clinical microbiology as well as a member of the Center for Immunology at the University. He is also director of bacteriology at Children's Hospital, and consultant bacteriologist at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. He came to Buffalo in 1936 as a resident under the late Dr. Witebsky and has been on the faculty ever since. Past president of the New York State Association of Public Health Laboratories as well as the Western New York Branch of American Society for Microbiology, Dr. Neter has served as chairman of the Medical Division, Society of American Bacteriologists; the Laboratory Section of American Public Health Association, the New York State Association of Public Health Laboratories and the Western New York Branch of American Society for Microbiology. He has also been an active member in many local, national, and international scientific and professional associations and organizations and has served on numerous editorial boards, scientific advisory and clinical laboratory committees. Among his honorary memberships is the Deutsche Gesellschaft fiir Hygiene und Mikrobiologie. In November when Dr. Neter was in Heidelberg as a visiting professor, another ceremony was held. Drs. Urbaschek , Neter WINTER, 197 4 21 �Perinatal Medicine There is still not enough information available on how well a baby is doing before it is born. That is what a team of experts reported to more than 300 pediatricians and nurses during a two-day conference on perinatal medicine. While advances are being made there are also setbacks . From Dr. Sumner Yaffe, professor of pediatrics, they learned of the problems of drugs and the fetus. " There is a high prescription and consumption of drugs by the mother during pregnancy," the professor of pediatrics at the State University at Buffalo said. " But we do not have the faintest idea whether they are safe enough for her to take. " He pointed to congenital malformations in the fetus that may lead to a high perinatal morbidity/ mortality rate. " We need more information concerning safe drug usage if we are to have better fetal diagnoses ," he said . " For what is the point of taking drugs if you can' t tell what is happening?" The problem becomes an even greater one as Federal regulations get more and more stringent regardi,ng research on the fetus. From Brown University' s Dr. Robert Schwartz there was caution on how little we know about metabolism in the newborn. " While we know a great deal on adults our knowledge of the young child is still limited to inferential understanding from animal studies. There has been progress over the past decade. We are now able to measure chemical data through new technology and we know that good care is now required. " He pointed to studies that have identified a variety of parameters. Nutrients , he said, are one example. While studies on prolonged starvation show the ability of the adult brain to metabolize nutrients other than glucose he feels it is still the most important substance. " There is no direct data on the premature or newborn ," he continued . " Only in the very young child are we certain that the brain metabolizes ketones. " He warned against drawing conclusions from these studies as to the newborn. " We need to develop newer techniques before we can. And until we have them from a therapeutic point of view glucose remains the preferred substrate. There must be meticulous attention to its rate of administration in those who cannot be fed by mouth. " Good nurses, he feels , can look at these parameters. "We do not have to wait for clinical symptomatology in the patient," he said. Regarding the infant of a diabetic mother, Dr. Schwartz pointed to data that supports the Pedersen hypothesis where " we have an overfed baby with higher insulin levels, one more prone to extreme hypoglycemia following delivery and loaded with glycogen/adipose tissue not mobilized to supply fatty acids for energy. We have a baby with lots of extra insulin it should not have at this time, " he said. Unexplained is the high incidence of congenital anomalies occurring in such infants. He called for early detection of the diabetic mother as well as meticulous control of maternal blood glucose to prevent any secondary metabolic disturbance in the fetus. In those centers where there is such rigid control, perinatal morbidity/ mortality has diminished. From Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons Dr. L. Stanley James came a plea for early education of the public, identifying the high risk patient, and setting up clinics where all those interested in the fetus , 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �in nutrition, and in helping the high-risk patient are available. But equally important, the chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Fetus and Newborn said, is a need for closer surveillance during labor. While monitoring techniques can have a significant impact on both mortality/ morbidity, it is essential that the health care team interpret and implement the data correctly. From the National Institute of Health' s Dr. Ronald A. Chez came a report on better ways to determine how well the fetus is doing in utero. "Rate/rhythm pattern may be important to the condition of the newborn. " A bad sign, he feels, would be a gasping pattern. It suggests premature delivery, even Caesarean section of necessary. In pre-ejection patterns he feels that the action today is on determining fetal pH noninvasively. " If we can get going on this it will be of great help." Case Western Reserve's Dr. Marshall H. Klaus reported results from a study on the very close but firm bond of attachment of mother to child. Starting with animal studies with its different species behavior he noted that " we have come to realize that nature has not left survival of a species to chance but has instead provided intricate mechanisms which trigger maternal behavior in females and thus insure the care of their young." The professor of pediatrics and director of nurseries feels there is some chemical factor involved in mothering that can point to human studies. For in 70 percent of all cultures studied he found mothers/ babies to be isolated from the group immediately after birth. An exciting development in the newborn, Dr. Klaus said, is its ability after just one hour of life to follow an object at 180 degrees . All pathways, he feels, are present in the newborn whose rhythmic movement is a response to sound. There is a need to promote an " en face" mechanism between mother and baby. So important is this one-to-one relationship where mother' s eyes lock onto baby's that most mothers of twins tend to dress them alike. It is best, he stressed, to encourage them to dress twins differently. In this country he noted the difficulty of a bereaved mother to mourn. " If she wants to touch or see her dead baby she should be allowed to do so," he said. In need of special help, grandparents should be enlisted to help during this period. Unless the parents cry during this period of grief- it usually takes about eight months- he feels it will be a failure. As to a malformation problem, mothers need to mourn, to grieve as they make the transition from normal babies they should have had to abnormal ones. He noted that the sequence that parents must go through takes many days. If they do not they may end up separating. During labor Dr. Klaus pointed to the taking away of mother's independence and transferring it to the obstetrician. Important then becomes the need for mother/ father/ baby to become acquainted, to be left in privacy immediately following delivery. The fragile attachment following delivery and subsequent separation of a premature or sick baby from mother is traumatic. In most cases the mother thinks that her baby will die. " What we hope for in the future," he said, " is that mother will be able to accompany baby if transfer to another institution becomes necessary." WINTER, 1974 23 �But, notes Dr. Klaus, the father can also help a newborn to adjust. Important during the first two weeks of a newborn's life, he emphasized, is for the mother to touch her baby all over, to " send a message to your baby who sees and hears you. " He noted the sensitive period for the human mother who cannot love an unresponsive baby. And if there is a fetal death, there is a four to five hour period when she as well as the hospital staff need the support of a psychologist. The two day continuing medical education conference on new horizons in neonatal medicine was sponsored by the University's department of pediatrics and the regional intensive care nursery at Children's Hospital. Drs. Yaffe and George P. Giacoia, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University, planned the program. This was the first in a planned series of annual conferences. v $182,020 Grant to LARMP In September the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program, Inc. , received an award of $182,020 from the Division of Regional Medical Programs, U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, which will be used to fund five health related projects benefiting Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. Dr. John R.F. Ingall, director of LARMP, pointed out that the new award will provide support through June 30, 1975. The projects are: The Regionwide Genetics Program, which will provide education and special diagnostic and counseling facilities in the nine county region of Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania; The Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Program, to expand the role of the nurse in the health care delivery system; Domiciliary Staff In-Service Training, to develop an in-service training program to improve services within domiciliary facilities ; The Rehabilitation of Aphasia Patients, based at W .C.A. Hospital, Jamestown, New York, the development of a regional center for the treatment of aphasic patients (speech therapy) from throughout Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania; the Centralized Relocation Service for the Aging, a pilot study designed to decrease the trauma among the elderly associated with relocating from one setting to a more appropriate one. O 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A 1955 Medical School graduate has helped establish the Tel-Med program for the Erie County Medical Society. Dr. James R. Nunn said , " Americans spend billions and billions of dollars for health care each year and yet the average person does not know very much about the diseases he gets. As organized medicine we have a responsibility to provide health education to the people in our community. That is why we began Tel-Med. " Dr. Nunn is a clinical associate in medicine and clinical assistant professor of family practice at the Medical School. He is also chairman of the Erie County Medical Society's public relations committee. Erie County is the first Tel-Med installation in New York State and the first installation to become operational on the East Coast. Tel-Med has fielded 47,239 calls since opening May 2 . One of the biggest months was July with 17,425 calls. By dialing 855-3555 and asking the Tel-Med operator for any one of approximately 180 subjects, the public can listen to a 3-7 minute tape on the subject of their choice. The information was written and approved by the physicians and dentists of Erie County. Approximately 21 organizations and more than 200 physicians and dentists participated in preparing the information contained in the tape library. Tel-Med is a boon to both doctor and patient. The physician can save his patients' office time by having the person call Tel-Med for background on the problem after diagnosis and during treatment. For the patient, it offers factual messages in a clear way, answering questions that the patient may wonder about but does not have time to read about or talk over with his doctor. Dr. James H . Cosgriff, Jr. , immediate past president of the Erie County Medical Society and clinical assistant professor of surgery at the Medical School, emphasizes what Tel-Med is, and is not. " It is designed to help the individual stay healthy by giving preventive health information. It is also aimed at helping the individual recognize early signs of illness or, if he has a serious illness, at helping adjust to it. Tel-Med should not be used in any emergency, to find out what his illness really is , or to replace his doctor. " The program 's hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m . to 6 p.m. Saturdays, closed Sundays and holidays. The maintenance of equipment and production of tapes is provided by the Telephone Lecture Network of the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program.() Dr. Robert H. Seller is the new professor and chairman of Family Medicine at the Medical School. He is also chairman of the Deaconess Hospital Department of Family Medicine. Dr. Seller comes to Buffalo from the Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital, Philadelphia where he was director of the division of family practice. Dr. Seller is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and American College of Cardiology and <l member of the American Board of Internal Medicine and American Board of Family Practice.() WINTER, 197 4 25 Dr. James Nunn Dr. Seller �Dr. Mo inserting acupuncture needles into patient with arthritis of the knee. Acupuncture Is there a place for acupuncture in the treatment of chronic pain? from the Medical School's Department of Anesthesiology , headed by Dr. Ross Markello, may come some of the answers. But, Dr. Markello cautions, " It is possible that, like chiropractic, acupuncture may turn out to be largely a placebo ." During a sabbatical at the University of Washington, which has a world-renowned pain clinic, Dr. Markello became interested in the nature of chronic pain. On his return to Buffalo he felt that the unique resources here - good neural science departments - would provide a focus for studying one of the larger forms of morbidity in this country. " There are many people suffering from chronic pain, " the Buffalotrained anesthesiologist (he earned his medical degree from U.B. in 1957 and completed a residency in anesthesiology at the Meyer Hospital) said. " While many physicians are treating such patients as part of their regular practice, there is no center where they could interact for education or research. " A former department member , now residing in Toronto, recommended one of his anesthesiology residents , Dr. Benjamin Mo. " Dr. Mo's clinical interests happened to coincide with ours," Dr. Markello said. The South China Medical College graduate (1956) participated in acupuncture there during a five year residency, holds a Master's degree in pharmacology (1965} from the University of California at San Francisco, and earned an FRCP in anesthesiology in 1972 from the University in Toronto. In setting up the pain clinic at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital the anesthesiologists had specific objectives in mind. First, it had to be determined whether acupuncture is more effective in relieving pain than a placebo (25-35%}. In addition to the patients' subjective responses- " I feel better" - two criteria were chosen to determine effectiveness. Is there an improvement in socio-economic status, such as return to work? Is there a decrease in oral analgesics and sedatives? During the three afternoons a week that the clinic is open, patients are evaluated by Dr. Mo in order to determine the nature of the pathology - arthritis , etc. If the physician referral letter and evaluation indicate usual forms of therapy have been exhausted, a course of acupuncture therapy is begun. Treatments may run anywhere from one to ten. Approximately 100 patients were treated in the first three months of the clinic's operation. Seventy-five to 80 percent of these patients indicated positive results. "This is better than the 33 percent accompanying a placebo," Dr. Markello, who is a Diplomate of the National Board of Medical Examiners and American Board of Anesthesiologists, says. "We therefore feel justified to continue our studies to determine those syndromes most amenable to this type of treatment." To date they have found positive results as have other pain clinics around the country for the syndromes of arthritis of the knee, low back pain, neck and shoulder pain. Other isolated syndromes including trigeminal neuralgia, herpes, and migraine headache have responded to treatment. Whether results are fortuitous or related has yet to be determined. In one instance of herpes involving the ophthalmic nerve, acupuncture was as effective as local anesthetic for relief of pain. 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �'-C"::\_, Dr. Mo prepares a patient fo r treatm ent of low back pain. " There are two ends to the spectrum in pain syndromes," Dr. Markello notes . One end is primarily subjective such as migraine headache. It may be a long-standing response to emotional stress. " Acupuncture," Dr. Markello says, " may perhaps interrupt the series of events wherein psychologic pressure comes out as a physical symptom. " At the other end may be involvement of the central nervous system and the musculoskeletal system. " Involvement here," he continued, " may be due to the interplay between connective tissue, muscle spindles, and the gamma fibre system. This is one lead that we are seriously looking into." To determine changes in muscle tone, the anesthesiologists may use electromyography before and after acupuncture treatment. Psychiatric interviews are conducted to determine whether or not there is a psychological profile of patients seeking this type of treatment. They also hope to enlist the services of an orthopedic surgeon and a rheumatologist to evaluate mobility of joints and musculo-skeletal func tion before and after a series of treatments . " Dr. Mo has ideas in terms of performing some control experiments," Dr. Markello said. With more and more people seeking relief from pain there are no lack of patients referred to them by physicians or by word of mouth. " When we undertook this investigation," Dr. Markello said, " we were fully aware that we might be getting a number of emotionally-crippled WINTER, 197 4 27 A patient being treated fo r mig rain e headache. �i.f ?< ')"\: 11!. l -J;, ~ TK;' """"'"' .: KEY 1'!1 Ill Dr. Mo shows traditional acupuncture poin ts. patients unable to adapt or contribute to society. " With national statistics pointing to 60 percent of all patients seen in a pain clinic with emotional problems, Dr. Markello feels that " it may be the greater part of this complicated picture of pain." While the basis of pain may not be organic the patient needs a psychiatrist to evaluate the emotional aspects of his problem. " While we initially wanted to find the general response following acupuncture treatment on patients who have had the usual forms of therapy and medications, results have been sufficiently encouraging to progress to education and more intensive investigation of this art," Dr. Markello concluded. O 28 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A 1935 Medical School graduate is Chairman of the Board of the Erie Region PSRO, Inc. He is Dr. Kenneth H . Eckhert, who is also a clinical instructor in legal, social and preventive medicine at the University. The planning grant proposal for the Erie Region PSRO, Inc., was accepted June 24 by HEW for a six-month period. The Region was formed by the eight county medical societies, the Eighth District Branch, Medical Society of the State of New York and the Western New York Osteopathic Association. Mr. Warren A. Mutz, who has been executive assistant to the Medical Society of the County of Erie for the last five years, is the new PSRO Program Director. The present board of directors evolved from the PSRO Steering Committee, organized by the district branch more than one year ago, on recommendations of the area Medical and Osteopathic Societies.

MacGillivray is the new head of the division of endocrinology. Both are on the Medical School faculty. Dr. Vlad who has been acting chief since the death of Dr. Edward C. Lambert is a graduate of the University of Bucharest Medical School, Rumania. He has a diploma of tropical medicine and diploma of public health and hygiene, faculty of medicine from the University of Paris. He was in charge of the department of cardiology and laboratory of cardiac catheterization at the Hospital Broussais-la-Charite in Paris, from 194951 , senior fellow in pediatrics (cardiology) at the University of Toronto, Hospital for Sick Children 1952-55, joined the staff of the Children's Hospital in the department of cardiology in 1959 when he was also appointed assistant professor of pediatrics at the Medical School. He served as director of cardiac catheterization laboratory at Children's Hospital in Buffalo from 1960-63. From 1963 to 1968 he served as chief of the division of cardiology at State University of Iowa in Iowa City. He rejoined the staff of the cardiology department at Children's Hospital in 1968. He is professor of pediatrics at the Medical School. Dr. MacGillivray is a graduate of the University of Toronto, served her intership and residency at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles and was a research fellow in the division of biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California and a research fellow in metabolism and endoc rinology on the children ' s s ervice at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. She is associate professor in the department of pediatrics at the Medical School. She fills the position vacated by Dr. Thomas Aceto who has gone to the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. 0 WINTER, 1974 29 F 1 Dr. MacGillivray Dr. V lad , �Rural Externship Jessica Kart, senior physical th erapy student, works with a patient at the Mt. View Hospital, Lockport. I I I t was an outstanding summer experience. One that will make me a better physician. " That was the general consensus of 19 medical students who participated in the fifth annual rural externship program in Western New York. A total of 57 health sciences students from the Schools of Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, Health Related Professions and Medicine participated in the program sponsored by the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program. The medical students admitted the experience made them think like a physician and relate to people and to patients. The students also had an opportunity to meet and talk to the medical commity. Several students were so excited about their experience that they are planning to come back. The students scrubbed on cases, saw surgery, made rounds and participated in emergency room procedures. Others took case histories and did routine physical examinations. A few made house calls with a physician or a public health nurse. 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Some preceptors gave students problems to research at the hospital's library. Several other students were exposed to group practice and were impressed with the teamwork. Another student said "the exposure to out-patient medicine was great. We participated in the treatment of allergies, headaches , warts, adhesions and other common disorders. " Another student said " it was a hands on type of experience. We could observe and do things. " The preceptors enjoyed the contact with the students. " They did not hamper our practice. Many times the students would question the things we did and the decisions we arrived at. This was a good experience for us ." The students were almost unanimous in their praise for their preceptors and how they went out of their way to help them get involved in community activities and affairs. The students liked the direct patient contact and they loved the rural living and friendly environment. They were well accepted by the health professionals and the patients in the communities where they worked and lived for two months . Other general student comments: " medical practice is quite sophisticated and very excellent; initially I held a stereotyped view of rural medicine as being inferior to or behind that of larger city hospitals. This is completely false. I discovered that small doesn' t necessarily mean inferior, and rural should not be equated with behind the times." Dr. John R. F. Ingall, director of LARMP, said " we hope some of these young people decide to settle in these communities after they graduate. " Mr. Robert Bee Bee, director of the rural extern program, listed these students and preceptors. Many of the students rotated within their respective counties.

The one-year grant will be used to continue local staff and existing programs including the Telephone Lecture Network , Tumor Service Registry , Rural Laboratory Improvement, Two-county Nutrition Program (Chautauqua-Cattaraugus), Allegany County Mobile Health Unit, Emergency Medical Services, and the Rural Externship Program. The four new projects to be funded are : Regional Hypertension Screening and Follow-up Program; Health Related Household Survey of the Elderly, which will determine the health needs of Cattaraugus County 's rural elderly residents ; a comprehensive training program for the prevention and treatment of senility in older persons in McKean County , Pennsylvania; and a grant to improve the ambulatory care service at Buffalo General Hospital, and subsequently create a model ambulatory care delivery system. Dr. John R.F . lngall, LARMP director said, " the monies being released now were made available as a result of successful legal action by the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program, Inc. and the National Association of Regional Medical Programs. The monies were impounded by the Administration, but have now been freed to be applied as designated by the law." ) Dr. Albuquerque Resigns Dr. Edson X. Albuquerque, professor of pharmacology at the University resigned in June to become professor and chairman of the University of Maryland 's department of cell biology and pharmacology. He will also serve on the staff of the department of pharmacology at Johns Hopkins University and be associated with the National Institutes of Health 's department of chemistry where he will continue pioneering studies with Drs . B. Witkop and J. Daly on the complicated electrical signaling that takes place between nerve and muscle cells. A better understanding of this mechanism may help to unravel the mystery in such diseases as muscular dystrophy. The Brazilian-born and educated investigator (MD 1959; PhD summa cum laude 1962, U. of Recife) continued postdoctoral studies at the Paulista School of Medicine in Sao Paulo, Brazil; Universities of Illinois and Lund in Sweden, the Royal Veterinary College in Stockholm, and at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Institute. In 1966 he joined the department of pharmacology at U/ B as assistant research professor and four years later became a full professor. Not only have his research studies on binding of toxin to macromolecular unities of the membrane that are involved in ionic transport led to a " tool" for studying nerve/muscle signaling but to over 200 publications on muscular dystrophy, muscle degeneration , and problems of the neuromuscular transmission system. 0 WINTER, 1974 33 $1,330,238 Grant to LARMP �Gravity and Man Or. Nunneley checks cannula in artm of subject Tom Haney as William ]. Lawrence, research assistant, helps. Man today does strange things in even stranger environments. A team of Buffalo physiologists who have pioneered in studies of man as he dives ever deeper in icy waters or flies at ever higher altitudes is now able to simulate gravity, altitude, temperature, and pressure in a unique environmental physiology laboratory that took eight years to complete and is now operational. One of the questions raised by their investigations - will exercise improve man' s ability to withstand the stress of acceleration- is being answered by Dr. Sarah A. Nunneley. The former flyer who trained as a flight surgeon at NASA's Flight Research Center in the Mojave Desert, came to Buffalo three years ago. She is now taking a close look at man's cardiovascular reflexesthe mechanism by which the human body normally defends itself against the effects of acceleration and gravity. While subjects ride in a specially-designed human centrifuge at up to 3 G- three times the normal force of gravity- they are studied at rest and during two levels of exercise as they pedal a bicycle ergometer. During one level, they turn an unresisting set of pedals. For the other, a known load is added so that "the subject feels as though he' s pedaling up an endless hill," the assistant professor of physiology said. There are measurements of pulmonary gas exchange as well as cardiovascular function of subjects under all combinations of acceleration, rest, and exercise. Although she is interested in normal man and his environment- it now includes space travel- the University of Minnesota graduate (MD 1967) who completed a residency in aerospace medicine at Ohio State University and is Board-Certified, hopes that findings may also help patients whose problems arise from an inability to handle the normal stress of gravity. "When a person stands up," Dr. Nunneley explained, "his vascular system tends to increase its tone to prevent pooling of blood in the lower extremities." But when man exercises, each muscle contraction forces blood through the veins where a series of valves directs it toward the heart. This mechanism is called the peripheral pump. Fainting can be a problem for those with varicose veins. They lack some of the crucial valves, pointed out Dr. Nunneley. Even normal people faint after standing still for long periods. This is especially true in hot weather. While moving the legs can prevent the pooling of blood at 1 G, it is not known whether it will be as effective at 2 or 3 G. Test results may even be applied to high altitude pilots who will soon be asked to withstand accelerations up to 10 G for a minute or more, she said. To prevent pooling of blood they now wear protective anti-G suits. These reduce pooling by squeezing legs and abdomen with air bladders in which pressure automatically varies with G level. But such suits may prove inadequate for future needs, she explained, and other protective measures are now being sought. 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Everyone experiences an effective change in acceleration as they switch from lying down to standing up . " While man is lying down ," Dr. Nunneley said, " there is almost no stress on either heart or lungs ." Physiologically this position resembles what is found at " zero gravity" in outer space. But when man assumes an upright position the cardiovascular system must adjust to the pull of gravity down the body' s long axis. If the adjustment is not fast enough, then man 's vision may temporarily dim on arising too suddenly or he may even faint. In this condition known as orthostatic hypotension , there is so much pooling of blood in the lower body that not enough is available to maintain perfusion at the head level. Gravity also handicaps gas exchange in man by preventing perfusion of the upper lung. During acceleration this ventilation-perfusion " mismatch" increases, a significant amount of venous blood passes through the lungs without ever seeing fresh air , and arterial desaturation results . Patients with chronic lung disease, she explained , may have a similar problem at 1 G or normal environment. While a mild exercise may improve the situation, Dr. Nunneley feels that a heavier kind is " definitely contraindicated. " The centrifuge is a part of the laboratory for environmental physiology. Among its unusual operating and safety features -it takes just 10 seconds to go from 30 revolutions per minute to a standstill position. Fro m con trol roo m Mr. Lawrence m o nitors medical statu s of capsule occupants as it spins at 3 G . WINTER , 1974 Insid e capsule at 1 G Dr. Nunn eley co llects blood sample w hile sub ject ex ercises and expired air is co llected in balloons. �David Shindell, graduate student, secures centrifuge door. -a secondary hatch allows access to the capsule. -it takes staff personnel less than 30 seconds to reach subject. -from a crawl space technicians can reach two electric motors while centrifuge - designed, built, installed by Rocker Corp. of Oakland, California - is in operation. It not only allows investigators to study the effects of increased gravity and low pressure - the centrifuge is designed for immediate access from a suspended platform- but it supports the activities of the team investigating underwater physiology and swimming. (Vol. 6, No.4, pp. 60) It is the result of several years of planning and reflects the contributions of members of the department of physiology and the School of Engineering including Drs. John V. Huddleston and Ralph E. Rumer who were involved in its design from the earliest stages. During these experiments, two people- the subject who is a paid volunteer and an observer who wears an anti-C suit - ride in the biomedical centrifuge. This capsule is surrounded by a 60.4 meter circumference swimming basin and running track. It whirls on the end of a 21-foot arm to create accelerations and can reach a maximum speed of 31 revolutions per minute. Inside the capsule, subjects may experience forces to 7 G- carnival rides only reach about 1Vz G while astronauts experience 7 or 8 G during launch as they lie on their backs. After being seated, both subject and observer adjust their seat harnesses to a comfortable position. The observer hooks up the arterial cannula that has been previously inserted in subject's arm and blood samples are collected at regular intervals during centrifugation. From the control room one gets an unobstructed view of the capsule at all times. Here there is continuous monitoring of capsule occupants via closed circuit television, recording of electrocardiogram, as well as open voice communication. On command from the control room, the subject operates valves to collect his own expired air. To determine the efficiency of the subject's gas exchange during these experiments, expired gas volume and its composition are measured. And arterial blood gases are determined. While a great deal is already known about lung function, the human centrifuge is yet another tool by which to add to this knowledge. 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Nineteen Continuing Medical Education Programs are tentatively scheduled for the first six months of 1975 , according to Mr. Charles Hall, director of the programs .

Ketter told the 1978 medical school class " the clinical education that you you will get in our hospitals is one of the pluses of this School of Medicine. " He also mentioned the many inconveniences and frustrations that medical students will encounter during the redesigning of this campus as a health sciences center. Dr. Ketter also gave the incoming students a capsule profile of themselves. " The 135 of you here today were selected from 5 ,317 applications. The admissions committee interviewed 633 candidates before deciding upon you. Thirty of you are women and there are 23 blacks and one Cuban. Only ten are from outside New York State, and 58 come from Western New York. " Dr. Ketter praised the work of the Medical School Admissions Committee in selecting this class. Dr. Clyde Randall, executive officer of the Medical School, officially welcomed the newcomers to the school and the profession. " Although the image of the physician is somewhat tarnished, the practice of medicine is a personification of our private enterprize. Under this system any physician may select any area of specialization that he wants. But this may change if anyone of the three bills that are in congressional hearings are adopted." ��Three f irs t-y ear stude,ts Dr. M arin e Dr. Randall told the 1978 class to take " your lessons seriously. As you learn to live with this system your effectiveness as a student will help you get into the field you desire. " Be respectful of people - nurses, therapists, technicians, physicians, assistants - that you must be dependent upon for help. You can' t go it alone. You must have the respect and cooperation of your coworkers in the delivery of health care. " It is unfortunate that many people expect health care on a one-toone basis. This of course is impossible, because there never will be enough physicians to accomplish this. " Dr. Randall told the new students " to assess themselves periodically. Ask yourself what you are learning, and continue this process even after graduation. Examinations are very important while you are in school and for future board certification. There is pending national legislation that may require periodic testing or examinations for all physicians. " Dr. M. Luther Musselman, ch airman of the M edical School Admissions Committee, said " this is the finest class that we h ave ever admitted . You come from 74 undergraduate schools and h ave 27 different majors. Many are science majors but others majored in English, psychology, nursing, engineering, history, music, political science, economics, foreign language, pharmacy and liberal arts. " 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �There were rap sessions with sophomores about positive and negative issues, as well as what courses to take, how to study and other do's and don' ts. There was also registration, picture taking, an informal luncheon with faculty in Norton Union, a tour of the new health sciences library, a picnic, and briefing on financial aid. Dr. Edward Marine, chief of medicine at the Deaconess Hospital, gave the 1978 class a brief overview of the Medical School and the affiliated and associated hospitals. He spoke of the curriculum changes that he helped bring about while he was an associate dean. " This is a larger and different type class than we had here five years ago," he said. " Today, almost without exception, all of you will graduate because you have been so well screened. Several years ago the attrition rate was 15 or 20 per cent. " You will have many frustrations and tensions and even threats from some professors that you might not make it. Don' t be scared. This is not true," Dr. Marine said. " Keep cool. Be sensitive to problems and stay in command of yourself." The clinical associate professor of medicine told the students that four years in medical school is a long time - a big chunk out of your lives. " View these years as a commencement of study that you will continue throughout your life." Dr. Marine answered many questions on clerkships, preceptorships, acupuncture, terminal diseases and the dying patient, mercy killing, drugs, alcohol, ethics, social and political problems. 0 , Or. Randall A n orien tation session Or. Musselman Dr. Richert WINTER, 197 4 41 �the eldest son of Dr. James and Maria Hadley, was born in Steuben, Oneida County, New York, 20 June 1813. The elder Hadley was born in Weare, New Hampshire where he worked on the farm until he was 19 years old. After two or three years of a liberal education he entered Dartmouth College as a sophomore in 1806 and was graduated with an A.M. degree in 1809. He commenced the study of medicine and chemistry under Dr. Josiah Noyes. In 1808 Dr. Noyes went to Fairfield, N .Y. where he lectured in chemistry at the young but thriving academy and the elder Hadley followed him there to continue his medical and chemical studies. In 1812 when the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Western District of New York (Fairfield Medical College) was established, the Board of Trustees appointed James Hadley, A.M. , Professor of Chemistry. He apparently received his M.D. degree from Fairfield in 1813 and remained there as Professor of Chemistry and Materia Medica until the institution ceased to exist in 1840. When the professors saw the handwriting on the wall, so to speak, because of the increasing competition from schools in Albany and Geneva, they resigned their posts before their school lost its character and prestige to a lingering and wretched decline. Hence, this school stands almost alone in our country because it not only died but it did so with honor and dignity. It was at Fairfield that young George had his father' s chemical laboratory as his first school and playground. In 1834 he graduated in liberal arts from Hamilton College and in 1839, after attending six courses of lectures, he received his M.D. degree from Fairfield Medical College and at once became his father' s assistant. Like his father, he was versed in the natural sciences such as botany, mineralogy, geology and conchology. In 1841, Dr. James Hadley took his family to Geneva, New York where he had been appointed a year previously as Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy. He held this chair until 1853, when partly because of his age and the unprosperous condition of the Geneva School he retired as emeritus professor. In 1856 the elder Hadley and his wife moved to Buffalo to live with their son, Dr. George Hadley. He died in 1869 in his eighty-fifth year after prolonged illness due to prostatic hypertrophy and urinary difficulties. It has been necessary to sketch the father's life longer than usual because as will be seen, four historians and one medical school dean have confused father with son. Getting back to Dr. George Hadley. In 1840 he went to Lockport and worked with Alfred Barrett, chief engineer for the western division of the Erie Canal. He recorded plans, sketches and calculations as he went up the Genesee Valley Canal. In 1841 he spent three months in the Canal Office at Albany working on reports. That winter he had an attack of acute rheumatic fever which recurred in April. Thirty-six years later his heart disease was fatal. In the fall of 1841, George Hadley accepted the professorship of mineralogy and chemistry at the University of Missouri in Columbia, where he remained for two years. After his return to the east, he spent the winter months of 1843-44 in New Haven where he attended Professor Silliman's lectures on chemistry and geology. His mind was strictly searching and analytical which made him a persistent and determined scientist. After this period he spent some time in the service of a Canadian Mining Company on the north shore of Lake Superior investigatmg copper and other mineral deposits. He was frequently consulted for his precise knowledge of metals and metallurgy. G EORGE HADLEY, Our First Professor of Chemistry, Pharmacy George Hadley (1813-1877) by Oliver P. ]ones, Ph .D., M.D. Distinguished Professor 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �In 1846, Dr. George Hadley was appointed Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy at the University of Buffalo, a position which he retained until he died thirty-one years later. He lectured at Buffalo before taking up his residence in 1855. In addition to these duties, he also lectured at two schools in Vermont - Castleton Medical College from 1853-61 and Middlebury College from 1858-59 and later at the Buffalo State Normal School. Unfortunately, in Julian Park 's " History of the University of Buffalo ", there are substantial differences of fact regarding the Hadleys father and son. George did not resign in 1851. His father was never a member of the faculty and certainly could not have resigned nine years after his death! Perhaps Park relied upon Dean Rochester' s memorial for Dr. George Hadley which also contains substantial differences of fact. How did these errors get into the literature? Certainly neither Dean Rochester nor Julian Park could have read James P. White's obituary for James Hadley and they could not have perused our Annual Announcement and Catalogues, otherwise they would have known that George Hadley occupied the chair in chemistry for thirty-one years and that his father was never a member of the faculty. Unfortunately , Austin Flint was responsible for some of this misinformation. On 25 August 1846, the Council of the University established seven professorships in the Medical Department. Austin Flint must have had good reason to believe that five professors occupying chairs in Geneva Medical College were to have also an appointment at Buffalo, because in the September 1846 issue of the Buffalo Medical Journal he wrote an editorial to that effect. The first name on his list was Dr. James Hadley. This was one month before the first meeting of the Medical Faculty which was held in the office of Dr. James P. White, 3 October 1846 at 9 A.M. Austin Flint was not present. One of the items on the agenda concerned the fees for the student tickets and it was decided that Dr. (No initial) Hadley should receive twelve dollars. This meeting was adjourned until 2 P.M . the same day . Apparently it was undecided which Hadley was to be the Professor of Chemistry because the Minute Book (available to Dean Rochester but not to Julian Park} records thatOn motion of Dr. Coventry, seconded by Dr. White, Resolved: That the dean and registrar be a committee with the power to nominate to the Council a candidate for the Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy . A decision was made and it was printed in the Annular Circular later in October 1846, namely, George Hadley, M.D ., Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy. His name and title appeared in every annual announcement until his death in 1877. In other words, it was the son and not the father who was appointed to the chair in chemistry and Austin Flint never corrected this editorial in the Buffalo Medical Journal, in spite of the fact that he had been elected Registrar and Treasurer. It is too bad Dean Rochester did not know this because his otherwise excellent eulogy for Dr. George Hadley would have been flawless. Unfortunately , Julian Park 's errors regarding our first faculty were reproduced and perpetuated by two medical historians - Walsh (1919) and Norwood (1944}. WINTER , 1974 43 _,...k .. .... ..... _ . . •• oi -· Mr. Richard Ma cakanja's cove r desig n fo r th e BUFFALO PHYSICIAN, Sprin g 1974, wo n seco nd award by Industrial Art M eth ods. T he des ig n foc used o n the retina that was a fea tu re s tory i11 this iss u e. ~ �The new Amherst Suburban Hospital- Millard Fillmore- opened August 12. The threestory 150-bed facility with 40,000 square feet of floor space occupies a 30-acre site along Maple Road, east of Hopkins Road. The cos t: $16 million. Mr. John R. Ferguson, who has been assistant administrator of Nassau County Medical Center, is administrator of the new facility. Dr. George Hadley was admitted to the Erie County Medical Society in 1856 and, according to Matthieu 's history of that organization, " Dr. Hadley's most valuable contribution to chemical science was his discovery of the changing of starch into glucose, which led to the foundation of the great glucose industry in America. " Had this reference been substantiated, it would have enhanced Dr. Hadley' s stature as a member of our first faculty and it would have brought fame and prestige to a basic science department of the University of Buffalo. The City of Buffalo at one time enjoyed the reputation of having one of the largest and most important glucose plants in the country, long after Kirchoff of Germany had discovered the process in 1811. As a matter of fact, Kirchoff's process is mentioned in one of the textbooks recommended to the students by Hadley - Turner's Elements of Chemistry (1832). In 1867, two separate firms, Firmenich, and Fox and Williams started to manufacture glucose in Buffalo. Perhaps Dr. Hadley did some consulting work for them. It is interesting to note that neither the history in Starch : Chemistry and Technology nor obituaries mention Dr. Hadley's connection - however remote - with the manufacture of glucose. It was not because Hadley lacked literary acquirements that he published but little, because he left some two thousand closely written notes and valuable observations. For years he also served as registrar for the Medical School, hence most of the Minute Book is in his handwriting. On 17 February 1866 the Medical Faculty elected him Dean and Registrar at an annual salary of $150! So far , only one published article has been found- a case of arsenic poisoning which underscores his strong bias for medico-legal investigation. As a lecturer he was clear, consice and precise which must have contributed a great deal to his reputation as a distinguished medico-legal witness. As a teacher he was preeminently the student's friend . 44 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Or. Hadley was an early Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a member of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences, and one time President of the Buffalo Microscopical Society. On 2 January 1855 he was married to Miss Sophia G. Larned in New Haven, Conn. Before her marriage, Mrs. Hadley had been a teacher of chemistry and other sciences at a school for young ladies in New Haven. In Buffalo, they lived at 1355 Main Street where his father and mother also made their home after leaving Geneva, New York. It was here that both father and son enjoyed the pleasure of gardening and horticulture. About a year before his death, Or. George Hadley suffered from chronic passive congestion. He died from heart disease on the 16 October 1877. He was survived by his wife and one daughter. From early manhood he was a member of the Presbyterian Church. References 1. White, J.

Mr. ]ames Wallace, LaSalle ambulance instructor, briefs three medical technicians on emergency treatment. Emergency Radio System The E.]. Meyer Memorial Hospital emergency room personnel, Dr. Robert Gatewood and Faye Nardi, R.N., receive the radio message from the ambulance that the patient is on the way for treatment. An emergency radio communications system linking 48 Erie County ambulances and 10 area hospitals is matching medical resources to patient need. This communication network provides voice linkage between hospital emergency departments, ambulances, police, fire and medical support services. The ambulances involved comprise commercial, hospital-based and volunteer companies, according to Dr. James H. Cosgriff Jr., emergency medical systems project director, and clinical assistant professor of surgery at the Medical School. "If the best in emergency health care is to be made available to the citizens of Erie County and Western New York in the future at a reasonable cost, the concept of a regional system of care must become a reality. It is narrow outmoded thinking to believe that needed services without exception, can or should be provided by each and every hospital, ambulance company or health professional," Dr. Cosgriff said. "In New York State this year, one in 15 citizens will require the service of an ambulance and one in four will seek care in a hospital emergency department. In the United States accidental injury ranks third as a cause of death and is the leading cause of death of those under age 37," Dr. Cosgriff said. This new program was designed and implemented by the Erie County Health Department Bureau of Emergency Health Services and the Erie County Emergency Medical Care Communications Committee. 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Approximately 2250 technicians have been trained through the Emergency Medical Services Project. Dr. ]ames H. Cosgriff, ]r., a clinical assistant professor of surgery at the Medical School, is directing the project. It is sponsored by the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program and the Erie County Department of Health. Nurses, doctors, technicians, advisory physicians, police, firemen, ambulance and rescue squads are all Working together to make it succeed. The Lakes Area Regional Medical Program provided $169,000 to purchase radio equipment, so vital for the project, according to Dr. John R.F. Ingall, LARMP director. The area hospitals involved in the initial phase of the project were: Buffalo General, Children's, E.J. Meyer Memorial. Emergency, Kenmore Mercy, Millard Fillmore, Our Lady of Victory, Sisters of Charity and South Buffalo Mercy. Also linked with the system are the Poison Control Center, Buffalo Police and Fire Departments, Erie County Sheriff's Department, Erie Fire Control, Office of Natural Disaster and Civil Defense, and the Erie County Medical Examiners. 0 47 WINTER, 1974 �Eight Women Honored A clinical associate professor of pediatrics and a medical writer were Or. Harrod Mildred Spencer Sanes among eight Western New York women honored for their achievements. The occasion was the annual Community-University luncheon to honor outstanding women. The affair was sponsored by the University Community Advisory Council and the U/ B Alumni Association in the Statler Hilton Golden Ballroom. They are Dr. Emma K. Harrod and Mildred Spencer Sanes. Dr. Harrod is also Deputy Erie County Health Commissioner. In citing her achievements for the professions, President Robert L. Ketter said, " Physician whose heart and skill have been devoted to mothers and children, and whose professional competence is blended with great consideration for people. You have clearly identified our community's commitment to the health and welfare of its families, especially those most dependent on the country's medical service. Your tenacious quest for medical funds has enabled Erie County to meet the challenges of adequate nutrition for children and pregnant mothers, realistic family planning for the medically indigent, and the afflictions of lead poisoning, sickle cell anemia and birth defects. We also acknowledge, Dr. Harrod , your excellence in teaching and scholarship, and your administrative ability as a supervisor of medical professionals. " In creative communications Mrs. Mildred Spencer Sanes, former medical writer for The Buffalo Evening News was honored . Her citation; " Influential woman of letters, whose skillful writings have stimulated substantial progress in the medical sciences. A prominent journalist, you crafted a deeper significance into your stories by accepting voluntary positions of leadership with the Erie County Board of Research for Health and the Advisory Council, State Kidney Disease Institute. Countless awards for medical reporting have been awarded you by area, regional, state and national organizations which recognize their involvement in such life and death matters. Acclaimed as the best, most prolific and most influential writer in your speciality, we also acknowledge your considerable involvement in the general affairs of your community." Mr. Raymond T . Schuler, New York State Commissioner of Transportation, pledged to do more to bring women into top level positions in government. " Our own department has missed the boat in many areas for not having more women in key posts. We have acted , I hope, to correct some of these faults." The other women honored: Arts- Dr. Virginia Cummings, director of the Museum of Science. Business - Mrs. Marie K. Corcoran, partner in a real estate firm. Community Service - Mrs. Mildred Campbell, former chairman of the Erie County Mental Health Advisory Board and chairman of the Governor's Citizens Committee on the Problems of Alcohol. Education- Mrs. Florence Baugh, member of the Buffalo Board of Education. Government - Mrs. Phyllis Kelly, a director of the National Federation of Republican Women and assistant chairman of the Erie County GOP Committee. Industry- Mrs. Alfa D. Dodge, owner of the George A. Terry Co., a tool manufacturing concern.<) 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A 24-year-old medical student is a tennis star. Dirk Dugan won the Buffalo Hard Court title in July. One month later he was runner-up in the singles and teamed with Chris Sadkowski to win the doubles in the National Public Parks tourney. In the championship singles match Dugan played three and onehalf hours with sets of 6-7, 7-6, 6-7, 7-6, 4-6. In the doubles he and his partner won three straight sets of 7-5, 7-6, 6-2. The second year medical student played tennis throughout his high school career at Hamburg. He was third in the state (singles) during his junior and senior years. Dugan captained the Cornell University tennis team for two years (1970-71 and 1971-72). He was the number one singles player at Cornell where he majored in history. In 1970-71 he had a 12-1 record and was the number one ranked Eastern College singles player. Before entering the UB Medical School in September 1973 Dugan worked as a hospital orderly at the Tompkins County Hospital in Ithaca. " Now that I am in medical school I have no time for tennis during the regular school year, but I run eight to ten miles a week to keep in shape for summer tourneys, " Dugan said. He is interested in family practice and surgery. He spends one afternoon a week in family practice with Dr. Harry L. Metcalf, clinical ins tructor in social and preventive medicine. Dirk's father, William, is an orthopedic surgeon in Hamburg. He is a 1939 UB Medical School graduate.

With their specialized equipment and unique expertise they can confirm a diagnosis made by a physician or make one. Six clinical divisions of the Erie County Laboratory headed by Dr. Max Chilcote do just that . They are biochemistry , microbiology , hematology and blood bank, pathology, forensic medicine; and public health. Most are located at the E.J . Meyer Memorial Hospital. As an independent unit, it provides a variety of laboratory services not only to the hospital but to 13 area clinics. And while its virology, toxicology and public health laboratories serve other counties as well as the community, its 23 MD , PhD-trained staff and 300 paraprofessionals perform over three million tests a year, reports Dr. Chilcote. One of its divisions is that of clinical microbiology. Headed by Dr. Konrad J. Wicherhe is assisted by Dr. William R. Bartholomew over 800 tests are performed here on a daily basis . But , says the 50-year old professor of microbiology who came to Buffalo in 1963 and took over clinical microbiology activities in 1967, " a big part of our services are to nursing homes C uNICAL LABOR A TORIES 52 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �At work with infective fungi under safety hood is chief technologist Mary Ann Renner. and clinics such as the Lackawanna Community H~aith Center, The Erie County Health Department's William Street Clinic; Jesse Nash Community Health Center; Family Life and Planning Service; Home and Infirmary; Penitentiary and Jail; Ingleside Home; Masten Park Rehabilitation Center; School 84 for exceptional children; and Maternity Infant Care Project. Clinical diagnostic services in this division are diverse. From mycobacteriology comes confirmation of TB diagnoses. Tests are performed here under a special hood to protect against infectious samples. While tests for fungi are performed in mycology, a search for that species of bacteria that has no cell walls and is responsible for primary atypical pneumonia and other disorders is underway in the mycoplasma unit. In general serology, pregnancy tests are performed and determinations of all titers for streptococcal infection, syphillis, etc. are made. And where there is a suspicion of autoimmune disease, antibodies are detected to many tissue constituents by immunofluorescent techniques. Playing an important role in immune disorders is complement whose 11 components may vary in different diseases. Determining thPir levels, says Dr. Bartholomew who heads the laboratory, therefore becomes an important diagnostic tool in glomerulonephritis, etc. In the immunoglobulin disorder laboratory there are quantitative/qualitative analyses of serum immunoglobulin and protein in the urine, says Dr. Wicher. The Polish born and educated Or. Bartholomew watches technologist Margaret Moore examine diagnostic cultures of tuberculosis. In autoimmune disease laboratory senior technologist Carolyn Kalinka and Or. Wicher thoroughly check a tissue section. 53 WINTER, 1974 �Technologists at work in bacteriology laboratory.

He points to radioassays that determine digoxin and renin levels in patients at most community hospitals. And there are pilot studies and screening programs for toxoplasma or T. pallidum as well as determinations for rubella, CMV virus and IgM antibodies. Through research and development Dr. Wicher - he was a World Health Organization Fellow in England in 1963- hopes to find better methods to improve clinical diagnostic methods. " While we are now using some automated procedures we still need to develop better and even faster methods for laboratory diagnosis. " We were one of the first clinical laboratories in Western New York as well as in the nation to use a new isotope technique developed in Baltimore for detecting bacteremia in patients in a THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs. 5.

This means better medical care for the 10 to 15 percent of all patients tested in whose blood microorganisms are found ," he said. Because more anaerobic organisms grow in our body than aerobic ones there is more tendency to associate them with various infectious diseases. Volatile extracts of slow-growing anaerobes are prodded into revealing their identity through gas chromatography. " We can now speed up identification of anaerobic organisms causing infection in wounds, abdomen , lung abscesses, etc., " Dr. Wicher said. In research laboratory Or. Victoria Monte goes over results with technician Denise Zembryki while graduate student Monica Chang prepares cells for migration test and Rita Belani, research assistant, examines cell preparation under microscope.

There is also a continuous education program underway for the laboratory technician who is taught to recognize microorganisms. " We want them to have a better understanding of their tasks, to equip them to handle the many problems that come up in a laboratory," Dr. Wicher said. And in an educational way there is interaction with the clinician- when asking for an appropriate sample and in passing on the latest diagnostic procedures available. It even extends on an international level as well. For it is here where one of only two World Health Organization reference laboratories in the Western Hemisphere is located. " We collect important clinical material here," Dr. Wicher said, " and distribute it as it is needed. " For the future? More rapid methods for detecting infectious diseases, more automated equipment prophesizes Dr. Wicher. " The laboratory plays a very basic role in a patient' s welfare. For without the proper tests there would be a much higher mortality rate," he concluded. <) Marion Autch, chief serology technician, informs Dr. Wicher about the daily diag nostic problems while Marjorie Barrows, senior serology technician, examines a precipitation test. Examining immunoelectrophoresis slides are technologis t D oug las Myers and Dr. Bartholomew. Under NIH funding he and a team of investigators are taking a hard look at cell-mediated immunity in syphilis. From rabbits injected intratesticularly with T. pallidum they have isolated leukocytes and are now trying to separate B and T cells. " We want to determine," Dr. Wicher continued, " whether T-cell response is part of the immunopathology of syphilis." Not only do diagnostic services and research play an important role in clinical microbiology activities, says the noted clinical microbiologist, but teaching as well. In 1969 Dr. Noel R. Rose and he established training programs for clinical microbiologists. One of only nine such approved programs in this country, it is here where many clinical pathologists/microbiologists are taught the proper procedures. When they return to their institutions, they pass on this knowledge to others. Through clinical clerkships medical students also learn about specialized instrumentation and diagnostic methods available for detecting im56 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �95 Faculty Promotions The following 95 Medical School faculty members received promotions effective July 1, 1974.

The new Health Sciences Library provides about three times as much room for the library's 150,000 bound books and journals, nearly 16,000 audio-visual tapes and films and other equipment and services. In two years the second and third floors will be renovated adding another 10,000 square feet of library space, according to C.K. Huang, library director. The Health Sciences Library is the oldest library unit, created in 1846. The old location in Capen Hall was built 21 years ago. In addition to serving the six health sciences schools- medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, nursing, health related professions , health education - the library is used by the area's 60 hospitals and health institutions. When the second floor of Kimball Tower is renovated in 1975 it will be used for the History of Medicine Collection (6,000 volumes), the Buffalo Academy of Medicine Room, the audio-visual department, and the proposed Bernhardt S. and Sophie B. Gottlieb Psychiatric Library. Dr. Bernhardt Gottlieb is a 1921 graduate of the School of Medicine, now a New York City psychiatrist, who established a $75 ,000 endowment fund to support this library. The third floor renovation, which hopefully will be completed in 1976, will be converted to audio-visual and nonprint collection area to service all schools and departments in the six health sciences schools. " This is a five-year interim facility because of insufficient shelving space. The University administration hopes to build a new permanent Health Sciences Library on this campus," Mr. Huang said.

An informal study session �CARE for the Critically Ill Modern data processing technology is now helping Buffalo General Hospital surgeons to care for critically ill patients. Through CARE, a computerized clinical assessment , research, and education system developed by Dr. John H . Siegel , professor of surgery and research professor of biophysical sciences, physicians with no previous computer experience are now able to get all of the relevant patient information needed to help them make their clinical decision the best of all possible choices for patients in the intensive care unit. If the system, developed with National Bureau of Health Resources support and being tested at Buffalo General Hospital, proves out, it may well serve as the basis for a national systemit now operates on a large time-shared computer in St. Louis, Missouri and can service many users throughout the country. " Because we live longer," Dr. Siegel, who heads BGH' s department of surgery, said, " and our environment is becoming a more violent way of life, we are seeing more and more serious injuries in the older population. These injuries," he continued, " occur in the setting of intercurrent disease processes - chronic heart, lung, or metabolic diseases - which seriously complicate patient management. " Surgeons are also performing more major surgical procedures on similar types of high risk patients. If all aspects of these patients' surgical or traumatic illness are to be managed then Dr. Dr. John H. Siegel Siegel believes that " we not only need to know how all of the diseases relate to the patient's primary problem but to be able to analyze each one' s effect on the others." The CARE system, Dr. Siegel points out, is not designed to substitute for the doctor. Rather it is programmed to pick up problems that may complicate a patient' s clinical management or may have been missed. It helps to focus a physician's decision-making process more sharply so he can make a better therapeutic choice for the patient. And it permits the entry of data, lots of it. Not only the physician's daily notes but detailed notes from three shifts of nurses, as well as biochemical, physiologic, fluid , electrolyte, and drug administration data. It is also programmed to compute relevant physiologic indices from primary cardiovascular and respiratory data. The CARE system brings all of these data together onto one record to be reviewed by the physician. It computes for him the patient's metabolic balance. It makes suggestions as to daily fluid , electrolyte, and caloric requirements of the patient. And it presents the physician with relevant information from recent literature on how to approach a specific patient problem, as well as the latest information on more than 60 major drugs used in treating intensive care patients. By analyzing and comparing many pieces of data the CARE system is able to caution the doctor regarding drug interaction which may influence care. For example, if the computer notes that the patient has a low serum potassium and is receiving Digitalis, it will not only warn him but suggest that hP consider raising the potassium level and withholding the drug until the imbalance is corrected. It also permits him to obtain a drug caution for Digitalis preparations. Not only does it give detailed information on the quantitative relation between serum potassium, serum digoxin levels. and incidence of arrythmias, but it suggests a method of computing maintenance dose levels. It tries to help the physician avoid an iatrogenic error. But most important, Dr. Siegel says, it reduces a data-rich but often unreadable medical THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �record to one that gives the physician information not previously available to him. "He can then make his clinical decision the best of all possible choices," Dr. Siegel said. CARE was a natural outgrowth of the noted surgeon's long-standing interest in the whole general problem of shock and its physiological aspects. After seven years of organizing, running, and medically validating a physiologic shock cart system that he designed for the critically ill ~atient who is in an intensive care unit, Dr. Siegel IS using it to evaluate the way patients undergoing open heart operations respond physiologically to surgery at the Buffalo General Hospital. From this study has come a method to detect an abnormal compensation response before complete cardiovascular collapse. He will report on this work done with Drs. Thomas Lajos, Arthur Lee, and George Schimert at an upcoming meeting of the Association for Academic Surgery. As a result of these studies the CARE system has also been programmed to handle more traditional medical problems- myocardial infarction, pulmonary insufficiency, postoperative ones. But, explained Dr. Siegel, CARE is just one part of our surgical department's commitment to teaching, research, and patient service at Buffalo General Hospital. The teaching program has been strengthened through a series of surgical seminars featuring a Elizabeth Moody, R.N., Or. Siegel, Christa Nolan, research assistant, and ]on Fichthorn, engineer, watch as CARE system calculates, computes patient information. wide range of distinguished visiting professors from all over the world as well as an internal program of combined medical-surgical conferences. In seeking better ways to use the talents of volunteer and full-time faculty, Dr. Siegel has been "especially pleased with their response and commitment to the teaching and training program. " There are also some new faculty with new ideas. Dr. Arthur B. Lee, a cardiothoracic surgeon, who has trained at both Columbia and New York Universities, is interested in coronary artery surgery and the problems of long-term extracorporeal respiratory support. Dr. Stephen Rakower, a general surgeon, who also trained at New York University, is interested in trauma surgery. He not only directs the Teaching goes on while patient outputs in intensive care unit are checked. �Or. Fra11k Cerra reviews paper with Drs.

II I surgery department's emergency services but is heavily involved in teaching traumatic and emergency surgery, and has done some of the pioneering work in autotransfusion- a technique of providing a hemorrhaging patient with his own blood at time of serious injury or major intraoperation bleeding. There is also a combined surgery/biophysics/ bioengineering sciences program in myocardial ischemia underway. Collaborating on this are department of surgery' s Drs. Thomas Lajos, Frank Cerra, and John Siegel as well as electrical engineering's Dr. Peter Scott and biophysical sciences' Mr. Jonathan Fichthorn. There is also a collaborative study by Dr. Siegel, and statistical sciences' Drs. Emanuel Parzen and Marvin Zelen in time series patterns in human shock. And there is a search by Dr. Siegel for better ways to care for the surgical patient whose liver function is impaired, to prepare him for surgery after major bleeding. Together with Dr. James Nolan- he is chief of the department of medicine at BGH - he is starting a study program on cirrhotic liver disease. In a number of joint programs with graduate students he is also looking at respiratory physiology. And a major departmental program on aspects of pancreatic surgery involves several surgeons as well as Medicine's Dr. Vilayat Ali. From medical students who now receive their surgery training at Buffalo General Hospital half of the student body does- Dr. Siegel is able to get feedback at a weekly series of informal luncheons. Together with Dr. John Cudmore, one of the dedicated part-time faculty who has major 62 responsibilities for coordinating third year medical student program, Dr. Siegel has extensively modified the surgical curriculum at Buffalo General Hospital. In a new course, juniors can gain practical experience as they perform a number of operative procedures on dogs in an experiemntal surgery program directed by Dr. Stephen Rakower. It is taught by he, Drs. Roger Dayer, and David Harrod. There has also been a closer look at the senior student elective program in surgery. Experience in intensive care can now be obtained as well as special thoracic and cardiovascular surgery electives taught by Drs. Richard Adler, Lee, Lajos and Schimert. Two special preceptorial electives are also offered. One is vascular surgery given by two part-time faculty, Drs. James Upson and Fero Sadeghian. The other offers a chance to observe surgical practice in an office and fa mily practice group and is taught by Drs. Dayer and Harrod. There has also been a strengthening of the University's SUNY I Residency Program in Surgery at BGH. Through a number of combined programs with Roswell Park Memorial Institute, residents now work both with Dr. Richard Adler of the BGH staff and with Roswell Park' s Dr. Ronald Vincent and Dr. Hiroshi Takita on thoracic problems. They also gain experience in Or. Arthur B. Lee Or. George Schimert �Guiseppe Andres. One study was presented at the American College of Surgeons meeting in Oc- Dr. Stephen Rakower Dr. Richard M. Adler surgical oncology with Drs. Douglas Holyoke, Arnold Mittleman, Kumar Sako and others on the Roswell general surgical staff. There are also a number of collaborative research studies in cancer underway with Drs. Holyoke and Nemoto of Roswell Park. Among programs with other hospitals is a cooperative one with Dr. John Border at E.]. Meyer Memorial Hospital. Residents gain a special trauma experience. The Veteran's Hospital program has been strengthened through periodic clinical visits and resident rotations. And there is closer communication and participation with the Children's Hospital. Members of the major teaching hospitals and Roswell Park Memorial Institute now participate in a grand rounds program at Buffalo General Hospital on a regular basis. The core program in basic physical skills and techniques has been redesigned for residents. They now rotate through intensive care service, can gain surgical research experience through an elective program, and learn how to use the new physiologic techniques that have been developed. In another important clinical and research area, Drs. Frank Cerra, Roland and Sidney Anthone have been working with departments of pathology and microbiology staff to enhance the kidney transplant program. And collaborating on a series of important studies on acute and chronic kidney rejection phenomena are Drs. Cerra and WINTER, 197 4 tober. In community service, Dr. Rakower has been working to strengthen emergency service with community leaders. Establishing primary care responsibility here has led to more rapid surgical care for injured patients. "We can now offer better, more compassionate service to the patient, more comprehensive support to the doctor, and better teaching to students and residents," Dr. Siegel said. But there is also a commitment to continuing medical education for area surgeons. Last year Dr. Siegel planned a program on difficult problems in human shock and trauma. Sponsored by the annual meeting of Western New York College of Surgeons, it featured three internationally renowned surgeons in the field and drew heavily on experience gained in Buffalo General Hospital's intensive care unit. Similar programs are planned for the future as well as medicalsurgical GI Conferences at the Hospital directed at continuing education activities, and other special surgical teaching and training programs. Delighted at the positive response and cooperation of the entire voluntary clinical st~ff, especially practicing surgeon~ on the ~o:p1tal staff, Dr. Siegel points to the1r great sacnfKe of energy and time, in making the program a success. " Together," he said, " we are doing all we can to improve our teaching, research, service commitments to the community." 0 Drs. Thomas].

Deeley 1902-1974 On July 20th, after several years of chronic illness, death came to Mrs. Anne H . Deeley, retired secretary of the School of Medicine and its registrar for seventeen years. To the hundreds of students, faculty and staff of the school who had known her during that period, this event will mark the final closing of an era characterized by many major changes in the school, an era inextricably associated with her influence on its development. Mrs. Deeley joined the University in 1939 as a member of the staff of Chancellor Samuel Capen, and subsequently worked with Dr. Earl J. McGrath (later U .5. Commissioner of Education) on a pioneer study on the relationships of successive academic performance in high school, college and medical school. In 1945 she left the Chancellor's office to become a secretary in the office of the Dean (Dr. Edward Koch) of the School of Medicine, becoming within a short time its registrar and the Secretary of the Faculty, and eventually, Assistant to the Dean . In the ensuing seventeen years, by virtue of a personality uniquely compatible with the role which she was to structure and define, Mrs . Deeley was a major stabilizing influence during the four changes in the deanship which occurred during her tenure in the school. In addition to a high native intelligence, her extremely practical nature , impatience with bureaucratic methods for their own sake, abiding optimism and constant ability to see the good and the positive when these were minor facets made f or an eminently successful and, for her personal' ly ' sa t IS " f ymg . . expenence . Those fortunate students and colleagues who came to know her well will remember fondly a pervasive sense of humor and a sensitivity to and concern for the Problems of others which gave a uniquely per~onal quality to the functions of the dean 's office. :oubled students knew they had a sympathetic fnend in Mrs. Deeley, and similarly so did many members of the faculty and staff. She was the confidante of many, and the wise counselor of more than would admit it. When in 1962 she left the dean' s office to ?ecome executive assistant to Dr. John D . Stewart In the newly created office of the Vice Chancellor of Health Affairs , the School of Medicine suffered a loss the extent of which many failed to WINTER , 1974 A nn e Dee ley recognize. In her new role she continued her interest in the school and the association with her faculty friends. Increasing physical incapacity forced her retirement in 1970, but her concern for the school continued to the end. Rarely does a member of an administrative staff have both the opportunity and the ability to make a genuinely significant contribution to the functioning of an educational institution. Anne Deeley was such a person. v (R.L.B.) Dr. Mary J. Tillou, M '50, died September 27. She was a clinical associate in pediatrics and had been on the Medical School faculty since 1954. Dr . Tillou interned at the Buffalo General Hospital in 1950-51. From 1951-53 she was a resident at Childrens Hospital and until1968 she was a clinical assistant physician at Childrens. Dr. Tillou received her bachelor's degree in 1937 from Randolph-Macon Womans College, Lynchburg, Virginia . She was a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatrics, and was active in several professional organizations. 73 �In Memoriam Dr. Leo M. Michalek, M'30, died June 26 of a heart attack.

Second class postage paid at Buffalo, New York. Please n o tify change of address . Copyright 1974 by The Buffalo Phys ician. FA LL, 1974 I qua rState Yo rk u s of �The Stockton Kimball luncheon. American Medicine Dr. Schwartz There was something for everyone at the 37th annual Spring Clinical Days. There were panels on paramedical personnel, new drugs for old diseases and the continuing controversy on surgical versus medical management of coronary artery disease. In addition Dr. Harry Schwartz presented the " Case for American Medicine" at the annual Stockton Kimball luncheon-lecture. " American medicine is now at the height of its capability. It provides more effective help to a larger number of people than ever before," the author-economist-lecturer said. He is on leave from the editorial board of the New York Times. " At almost every point along the frontiers of the fight against death and disability American physicians and medical researchers are the world leaders. They are setting new standards of excellence in such diverse fields as heart and kidney transplants , knee and hip replacements, treatment of leukemia and hypertension, the prevention of RH incompatibility and the application of new weapons against hyaline membrane disease in newborn babies," The Distinguished Professor of Economics, New Paltz Division, SUNY, said. Dr. Schwartz admitted that American medicine is not perfect or beyond improving. " It is much maligned/ slandered and sometimes justifiably." Then he challenged the alumni physicians " to get the facts better understood. The best possible medical care is available in the United States today. We must recognize that American medicine is composed of fallible human beings and has inadequacies in need of remedy - a far cry from the critics' stereotyped claim that we are in a ' health care crisis' of such magnitude and gravity that only the most radical surgery will set matters aright. " The hard fact about medical care is that there will always be infinite demand for it. The entire gross national product could not satisfy the demand for it. " In raising the specter of confrontation building up between American medicine and the community he pointed to the core of the 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �problem- an economic one- the potential demand for free medical care and its infinite demands. " There are no rights without responsibilities in this world," he said, and he referred to the seeming contradiction between infinite expectations and a society denoting most of its needs/ wants out of the gross national product. How do you fit infinite demand with limited resources? He feels that a system of rationing must result. In pointing to pros/cons of one, the HMO' s, which provide medical care by reverse incentives. " To make money you give as little care as possible. HMO's will spur the economy." " It is always easy to be generous with someone else's money. Many people go to a hospital only because they have Blue Shield. If they were paying for it themselves, the answer might be NO." On the other hand, the PSRO will change the practice of medicine, and not assuredly to the good. Every medical transaction will be examined on medical norms or protocol. And he believes a conflict will ensue with computerized information/ patient-doctor relationship. It raises the specter of a mechanism by which some will or won't get medical care, within cost guidelines. " Confidentiality is the biggest worry with computer banks for everyone. The Eagleton affair is the best example. When it was leaked to the press that was the end. History has shown that when a secret is interesting or important enough it is no longer a secret. D espite all the promised safeguards, what is to stop someone from bribing a computer operator or using other methods to get medical records. In five or 10 years there will be no medical confidentiality. Everything will be on computers. ' Big Brother' will know everything about everyone," Dr. Schwartz said. " The more power we give the U.S. government the more incentive we have for corruption. If you ultimately give a dominant federal mechanism the power whether Mr. Jones lives or dies won' t we be creating incentives for corruption - a medical Watergate?" For him the whole lesson of Watergate is that with every power Government gets there is an opening for corruption; there will be people who will exercise that power. While he feels that the present medical care system is not perfect, it does have a pretty good record of progress. His final departing message was to " look before you leap, sometimes change is change for the worse." Medical students attend the two-day m eeting. FALL, 1974 3 Spring Clinical Days M rs. S tockton Kimball �The panel on " Utilization of Paramedical Personnel" - Drs. Cosgriff, D ickman, Mrs. Crowley, Mr. Carr, Dr. Wolin, Mr. McLeod. Paramedical Personnel Three interested participants At Friday's opening session Dr. Robert L. Dickman, the panel moderator, suggested that we must develop a health care team as a collective group. " When we do this we can provide exciting health care to patients. " The director of ambulatory services at the Buffalo General Hospital, believes health professionals can be used more effectively in " following patients and educating them. There are 700,000 registered nurses in the United States who could go into physician's assistant programs. Rejected applicants from medical schools are another source and there are many others." Miss Ann Crowley, medical nurse practitioner at the Buffalo General Hospital, pointed out that her role is to act as the patients' advocate. " But we are also very much involved in the decision making. We have our own patients and perform physical exams, teach patients how to manage their health problems. Physicians are always available for referral or consultation. " At the Buffalo General Hospital we function in the Medical OutPatient Clinic in adult health care. We have been pioneers' in the Western New York area in this new and challenging role in adult health care. " Basically, we see three types of patients. We screen those patients who come to clinic without appointments; taking care of episodic complaints, and referring those patients with more difficult problems to a physician. Secondly, we each have our own clinics where we follow chronic stable patients who have been referred to us by a physician. We follow the patient within the parameters set up by the physician. And, thirdly, we do Data Bases, or work-ups, for physicians who refer patients to us for this purpose. "After a complete work-up is done, the patient returns to the physician with the nurse practitioner for a review of his data base. The physician then makes the patient' s diagnosis and determines his 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �prescribed treatment program. The nurse practitioner and physician try to see the patient together, as much as possible, on each follow-up visit. At such point in time when the physician feels the patient is under control and his condition is stabilized, the nurse practitioner then can follow the patient on her own. This is primarily how we establish our own patient load. " Disease entities which we follow generally include: hypertension, chronic stable diabetes mellitus, chronic C.H.F., arthritis, obesity, allergies, C.O.P.D., and really any disease that is in manageable control. As soon as the patient develops a significant new problem, or his treatment program is no longer under controL he is automatically seen by his physician for consultation and re-evaluation. In evaluation of the patient' s needs, then, the nurse practitioner can relate to the physician dependently, interdependently, or completely independently. However, the physician is ultimately responsible for the patient and therefore must counter-sign all our charts," Miss Crowley concluded. " The ambulance is an extension of the hospital and the ambulance attendant is the extended arm of the physician. The properly trained ambulance attendant can provide adequate and perhaps better care than doctors. " That is what Dr. James H . Cosgriff, Jr. , clinical assistant professor of surgery, said. The chairman of the Erie County Emergency Medical Care Committee pointed out that if the level of ambulance care is to be improved more money is needed for training and salaries. " Our goal is to provide trained paraprofessional personnel to staff mobile life support units. Its effectiveness and implementation is based on a communication system which will allow the Emergency Medical Technician to consult with a physician or specially trained nurse. In addition to voice contact, the ambulance attendant will be able to transmit biomedical data, particularly the EKG, which can be interpreted by the consultant and proper treatment can be prescribed. There are several such systems operating in New York State- in the New York City area, one in Elmira and one in Buffalo. " The effectiveness of this approach, particularly in patients with acute coronary disease, has been well established in many areas around the country. All types of ambulance personnel are involved, policemen, firemen, hospital based and volunteers. In some areas the experience has An interested audience. FALL, 1974 5 Th e O berkirchers, Drs.

Mr. Norman Carr said that he had good experience with former military medical corpsmen (MEDEX) as physician' s assistants in New Hampshire. "Physician's assistants have been most effective in our operation. They are efficient in data collection and in many cases can relieve the physician of many other duties. We must develop a sense of unity and break down the barriers that exist in many physician assistant programs. " Mr. Carr is a physician's assistant at Matthew Thornton Health Plan, Nashua, New Hampshire. Dr. Richard E. Wolin, assistant professor of psychiatry at the Medical School, pointed out that the paraprofessional must prove that the extra cost is worth more efficient delivery of health care. "The psychiatrist's assistant must contribute something unique and different to a clinical or community setting. In the mental health field paraprofessionals are providing such therapeutic functions as individual counseling, activity group therapy, milieu therapy; they are doing case finding; they are playing screening roles of a non-clerical nature; they are helping people to adjust to community life; they are providing special skills such as tutoring; they are promoting clients self help through involving clients in helping others having similar problems. " Today paraprofessionals are contributing to mental health by filling new roles based on patients' needs which were previously unfilled by any staff. They are also performing parts of tasks previously performed by professionals, but tailoring the tasks to the paraprofessionals' unique and special abilities. " The use of assistants requires acceptance on the part of professionals and the proper mix of professionals and nonprofessionals. Many of the new roles performed by the non-professional are based upon the patient's individual needs. All formal treatment has the approval of the physician," Dr. Wolin concluded. The winning exhibit, Fluorescein Angiography, by the department of ophthalmology at the E. ]. Meyer Memorial Hospital. Drs. John Armenia and Antonucci prepared the exhibit. �" Today's pharmacist is much different than the druggist on the corner that we all remember. The clinical pharmacist is working with physicians, nurses, dentists for better health care." That is what Donald C. Mcleod, assistant professor of pharmacy at the University and director of pharmacy services at the Buffalo General Hospital said. " There are several emerging pharmacy specialties - radiopharmacist, psychiatric pharmacist, primary health care pharmacist, drug information specialist, pharmacokinetic specialist, general clinical pharmacist, and pediatric pharmacist {drug therapist and therapeutic consultant)," Mr. Mcleod said. This is possible because of the changes in pharmacy education. " Today' s pharmacy student receives expanded instruction in medical courses - biochemistry, physiology, anatomy and pathology. He also receives in-depth instruction in pharmacology, therapeutics, biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics. There is also clinical orientation through our clerkship in teaching hospitals. This gives the pharmacy student the opportunity to work with physicians and medical students. There are at least 15 or 20 new clinical roles where pharmacists are functioning such as-drug information analysis, pharmacokinetic consultation, patient rounds and drug consultation with medical staff, patient drug education, adverse drug reaction prevention and detection, poison information dissemination, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, antibiotic utilization control and many others," Mr. Mcleod concluded. Spring Clinical Days New Drugs for Old Diseases What are the new drugs being used for old diseases? For gallstones Dr. Leonard A. Katz pointed to a new experimental bile salt, chemodeoxycholic acid. It may soon be available to the 15 million Americans who spend a billion a year to treat this disease that is more common in the female as well as in a very high percentage of American Indians. In trials underway at six treatment centers in this country, the effects of this new drug that changes the composition of bile and thus increases the solubility of gallstones - almost pure cholesterol - will be followed. For, says Dr. Katz, " no one knows what happens to unexcreted cholesterol or if there are any harmful side effects." For Dr. Robert W. Schultz the important thing to remember about hypertension, a real disease for the 23 million in this country who have it and only half know it, is that only a small percentage are being adequately treated. And, Dr. Schultz says, there is treatment available. With screening programs now underway in Buffalo soon to come is a protocol for evaluating the hypertensive as well as hospital centers for evaluating those patients with management problems. One pharmacodynamic approach reviewed by Dr. Schultz to medically manage the hypertensive patient combined the use of diuretics with vasodilators and neural blocking agent. For asthma the new preventive drug, sodiumchromolyn is unique. For, says Dr. Robert E. Reisman, " it will effectively inhibit allergy and exercise-induced asthma attacks if a patient is pretreated. It prevents the release of chemical mediators which are responsible for these attacks. And it is also useful in the maintenance therapy of other asthmatics, particularly children. " For persistent asthma he cautioned on the overuse of adrenergic aerosols. FALL, 1974 7 Drs. We inmann, Pann ill �- / Dr. Lockie For Dr. L. Maxwell Lockie, arthritis remains an exciting group of diseases to treat. He reviewed two drugs that offer the most promise for relief of its symptoms. The effects of Motrin and Naproxen on the stomach of the patient unable to tolerate aspirin or salicylates is minimal, he said. And in animals Motrin was found to be 25 times more effective and totally excreted in 24 hours. He cautioned on the need to check the young rheumatology patient for lupus. In his overview of other therapies he pointed to the 90 percent surgical success rate in Buffalo on total hip and knee replacements. " The infection rate," he continued, " is very low. " What he found to be useful in the small percent of r.a. patients who do not respond to the usual program is Cytoxin. But he stressed the importance of using this immunosuppressant with both urinalyses and blood counts. Dr. Carl Arbesman, clinical professor of medicine and microbiology, presided. Coronary Artery Disease Dr. A rbesman The controversy over surgical versus medical management of coronary artery disease continued unabated. Reviewing the seesawing between medical and surgical approaches over the past decade, and today' s choice of the surgical one via angiography was reviewed by Dr. David G. Greene. While the U/ B professor of medicine and physiology felt that we can educate the young on diet, smoking, weight, etc. there was little leverage in attacking the problem in middle-agers until clinical manifestations appear. Yet to be established, he continued, is whether modifying one's metabolism re diet, etc. will do anything to make coronary artery disease go away. The clinical applications for coronary angiography were presented by Dr. Harold A. Baltaxe. " No examination," the Cornell radiologist T he panel on " Coronary Artery Disease"- Drs. Spain , K ohn, Baltaxe, Greene, Joh nson. 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �cautioned, " should be performed without prior consideration of the risk factor to the patient. Only after the rate of complications has been established can the physician weigh the benefits of the procedure vs. potential ill effects. " Its use, he continued, " is to assess whether the patient is suitable for coronary bypass procedure. " He also stressed the importance of reevaluating the patient after surgery and establishing the result of the procedure. From Downstate pathologist David M . Spain there was a review of the nature of coronary artery lesions producing ischemia that leads to sudden death as well as angina pectoris and the two basic forms of myocardial infarctions. The role of coronary thrombosis in transmural myocardical infarction was also detailed. For Dr. W . Dudley Johnson, surgery is not the " ultimate answer to the problem. " For coronary artery disease is just one episode in the life of the coronary patient. While the Medical College of Wisconsin surgeon feels there is now good medical treatment for angina pectoris it is not the case in coronary insufficiency. He presented good evidence for atherosclerosis occurring more in veins and progressing in grafts as well. To the surgeon he pointed out the need to do something about the basic underlying problem of controlling blood pressure, weight, smoking, etc. Dr. Robert M. Kohn , clinical associate professor of medicine, presided. Spring Clinical Days Dr. Brown's New Career Dr. Robert L. Brown, who has been an assistant or associate dean at the Medical School since 1959, is embarking on a new career. He is establishing a School of Medicine museum. " I am appealing to physicians and their families to contribute old catalogs, correspondence, papers or anything else that may be of historical significance to the School of Medicine or medical practice in Western New York, " Dr. Brown said. He also hopes to do some writing and will work closely with public libraries, the historical society and the University Archivist. " I also want to review and organize records in the dean's office that relate to endowments and prizes. This will include a brief resume of the history and intent of restricted prizes and endowments. " Dr. Brown served five deans during his 15 years , and was acting dean two years. He formally resigned June 1. In 1967 he received the Dean's Award " for doing the most in carrying forward the purposes of the school, translatmg the desires of the faculty and departments into the necessary administrative framework , and working with loyalty and steadfastness of purpose. " In 1972 D r. Brown received the School of Medicine Medal which he conceived and designed in 1972 "for 14 years of devoted service to Medicine and the Faculty of the School. " At the annual Spring Clinical Days (1974) Dr. Brown received a special alumni award from Dr. Lawrence Golden, president of the Medical Alumni Association. FALL, 1974 9 Drs. ]ones, Randall �- - Dr. Golden presents a special award to Dr. Robert L. Brown for 15 years of dedicated serv ice to the Medical School. --- - - - - - - - The citation : " It is now my privilege to present a special award as I guess my last official act as your president to Dr. Robert Brown and this is an award that I do with a good deal of feeling and it is one that I want to be in a fashion that really portrays what we as members of the alumni feel towards Dr. Brown and so I would like to read this rather than to talk 'off the cuff' for fear that the words won' t come out the way that they are intended. " Dr. Robert Brown graduated from the University of Buffalo School of Medicine in 1944. After an internship at the Buffalo General Hospital, a tour of military duty in Europe and service as medical director of two nationally known pharmaceutical firms , he was appointed assistant dean of the School of Medicine in 1959. He served as acting dean from 1960 to 1962 and since then he has been our associate dean. In 1968 he designed and constructed the Medical School's silver Mace which symbolizes academic authority. In it he incorporated mythology , folk lore, ancient traditions of medicine that are part of the education of our physicians today. In 1971 through his efforts there was the adoption of the academic gown that is unique to the School of Medicine. In 1972 he conceived and designed the School of Medicine Medal that is given to distinguished members of the faculty. Through the years all of us have gotten to know Bob Brown as the steady, guiding force that has kept this School of Medicine operational. He has demonstrated the highest loyalty to the School of Medicine. His honesty and integrity have won him the respect of both the medical and the non-medical community. It is a pleasure and an honor for me to recognize for the Alumni Association a fellow alumnus who has given so much to this school. Dr. Brown, I would like to now hand you this plaque and this timepiece to acknowledge what you have done for this school for the past fifteen years. " (Dr. Brown' s response) " Larry, my friends and fellow alumni, as many of you know, I came to this school a little over fifteen years ago as a member of the Dean' s office because Dr. Witebsky , whom many of us over the years had come to love and respect, persuaded me to join him in the administration of the school. That was the biggest professional decision that I have ever made. A few weeks ago I made the second biggest decision when I decided, for a variety of personal reasons , to leave the active association with the dean's office the first of June. The intervening 15 years were a fascinating experience for me. I began to learn to accommodate to the continuing tensions and pressures of that office. I enjoyed, when I could, the satisfactions which came as part of the job and to tolerate the unhappiness and the dissatisfaction which were also frequently a part of it. But as I came to the end of this, for me, long period, I began to, as everyone would , ask himself whether there was any real significance either to me or to the institution as a result of my tenure in that office. In sum- was it really worth it? The very kind words which Larry has just said and which reflect the thinking of what I consider the most important constituency of this School of Medicine, its alumni, answer that question in a major way in the affirmative. I am sincerely grateful for this recognition, for your regard for me and the job that I have done. I shall remember it always. I want to thank you all.

The University is deeply grateful for Dr. Randall' s continuing leadership under these difficult circumstances," Dr. Pannill said. 0 FALL, 1974 11 Dr. Pannill �~~~ ----- - - - - - ~ Few Americans respond with understanding to chronic, lingering disease in other persons. This is particularly true if the disease is physically disfiguring and disabling, mind-altering, without specific therapy, irreversible, progressive, recurring, potentially fatal. Diseases which meet these criteria include, besides " stroke," obstructive lung disease with diffuse emphysema and fibrosis , multiple sclerosis, and disseminated cancer. Patients with disseminated cancer carry the heaviest burden. Their disease has not only many of the " unattractive" characteristics mentioned above- it also has its name. The stigma of the word " cancer" and its connotations are from the very beginning more repelling to most persons than the actual characteristics of the disease itself. FRANK A. HARTMAN, Ph.D . (1883Head of the D epa rtment of Ph ys iolog y at UB f rom 1919-1934. ln 192 7 he an d co-wo rkers repor ted fo r the f irst time the produ ction of an active horm ore ex tract f rom the adrenal co rtex, an ex tract named "co rtin " th e fo llowi ng y e ar . H e w as a w ard e d th e UB Chance llor's Medal in 1932. 1 9 71 ). My own cancer, disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma, has required no hospitalization except overnight stays for two biopsies and following a lymphangiogram. In the first three months , though, I was confined to my home much of the time. During this period I was not dependent physically on others. Psychologically, however, I did need assurance that I was still part of life. I didn' t want to feel forgotten , discarded , cut off from the real world. Why, I wondered, did so few persons who knew about my condition, including professional colleagues and co-workers, offer expressions of assurance? Why didn' t I receive them even from those persons from whom, because of close, long-time association, I might have expected them? Lay persons give varied reasons for not getting in touch with a patient afflicted with disseminated cancer. Some of them are undoubtedly true. But there are other reasons that they don' t give, that they won' t admit even to themselves. First the reasons that they give, usually to the wife or other members of the family rather than to the patient himself : 'Tve been so busy. I just kept putting it off." (The patient, after all, will be there next week, next month or next year - if he is fortunate enough to be still alive.) " I didn' t know how much he knew about his condition . . . what to say to him . .. whether he would want to talk about it. " (My physicians at the cancer institute hadn' t kidded me from the beginning about my condition. I would have been glad to discuss it openly. I found doing so helped me in adjusting to the disease.) " It hurts me too much to see him. I've heard that his cancer is one of the bad ones . It must be awful living with that knowledge." (Gradually, although not easily, I adjusted to my prognosis in a realistic way.) But what of the reasons people don' t give, can' t articulate? A nurse with few illusions after long years of practice with cancer patients answered the question for me. Her own husband had had cancer, treated by surgery and radiation. " People are cowards, " she told me. " They' re terrified merely by the word ' cancer.' They don' t want to see sickness or suffering. They' re up14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �set just by the sight of a cancer patient, especially one with any visible effect of his disease or treatment- pallor, loss of weight, a mass in the neck. Some aren' t sure that they may not catch the disease. They don ' t want to be reminded of death. Even thinking about it brings their own death closer. In regard to health and disease, life and death , they want to live in a closed world where everyone is healthy and sound, able and productive. " Thus the patient with disseminated cancer, who must contend. with his own fears , is deprived by the fears of the healthy of the assurance he so needs. During the first three months after my diagnos is and the onset of radiation therapy, I worried less about my disease and the side effects of treatment than I did about becoming isolated. Somehow I felt that if I could hold onto the outside world , I would think and feel better. To me this meant especially the world of medicine. I didn' t expect to participate in that world personally, for I had retired and I was ill, homebound, but I wanted to keep in touch with it through others, professional colleagues and co-workers. Conversation about things medical, if merely the latest gossip, seemed the most effective mood elevator, the best psychostimulant. The mental-emotional lift from contact with one's professional world, whatever it may have been, holds even when a patient is bedridden, in pain, with terminal cancer. Early this year TIME magazine reported the death from cancer of Charles E. Bohlen, former U.S . ambassador to the Soviet Union and retired State Department expert on Russian affairs. It told how Mr. Bohlen, in his last days of life, often in pain, responded with difficulty to most attempts at conversation. Yet a " visitor only needed to mention a scrap of news from Moscow or a question from Russian history and 'instantly as though by magic he would be his old, shrewd and endlessly knowledgeable self.' " The physician-patient with disseminated cancer who wants to keep in touch with the world of medicine can do so best through other physicians. But, unfortunately, physicians in general have the same hangups about cancer that lay persons do . These hangups interfere with their relations to all disseminated cancer patients - relatives, friends , professional colleagues and coworkers not under their care as well as the patients for whose care they are responsible. You might assume that physicians, because of their scientific training and background, would have a rational and objective view of cancer, the disease. You might assume that as students in medical school and teaching hospitals they should have acquired a holistic and humane approach to their patients, one that would enable them to look on anyone with cancer as a sick person with a variety of problems and needs, thoughts and feelings . FALL, 1974 15 GEORGE W. THORN, M.D. Native of Buffalo and 1929 MD graduate of UB. He worked with Drs. Hartman, A. H. Aaron, G. M. Beck, B. D. Bowen, C. W. Greene and I. W. Potter on the therapeutic application of cortin. In the late 1930s he assumed leadership of the clinical work on the newly discovered desoxycorticosterone. Co-recipient with Drs. Hartman and Greene of the 1932 AMA gold medal for an exhibit on cortin. In 1943 he was awarded the UB Chancellor's Medal. Cortin led eventually to prednisone, now used in the therapy of Hodgkin's Disease, lymphosarcoma and lymphatic leukemia. �- - . - -- - - -- - -- But physicians are human beings too. They share all of the fears of lay persons. They' re frightened by the very word "cancer." They envision themselves as potential victims. (My own reaction on first hearing my diagnosis of reticulum cell sarcoma was one of hopelessness.) But in addition disseminated cancer disturbs a physician of today for another reason. He knows that treatment of many such cancers, particularly in a progressive, recurring, terminal form, can offer no significant remission or cure. Professionally the situation spells defeat. Quite simply, in the context of his medical education, training and philosophy, the physician cannot face this inevitable defeat. SIDNEY FARBER, M.D. (1903-1973). Native of Buffalo, and 1923 B.S. graduate of UB. A cured cancer patient himself. Recognized as the father of modern chemotherapy for cancer. In 1948 he reported temporary remissions in acute childhood leukemia treated with aminopterin . He built the first institution devoted to research and care of children with leukemia and other cancers, the Children 's Cancer Research Foundation in Boston. He received a 1966 Albert Lasker Award for clinical research. There was a time, within my memory, when a physician had to accept defeat as normal and unavoidable. When I was a junior medical student, I was taught that the therapeutic function of the physician was a three-fold one - to cure when possible, relieve when indicated, comfort and console always. The patient's recovery, if he was going to recover, depended in many diseases on nature, not on his physician. The important thing was not to interfere with nature. Limited in methods of diagnosis, too often with no effective way of treating the diseases he could diagnose, the physician concentrated on relieving complaints, comforting and consoling the patient and his family. In those days the "science of medicine" was embryonic. The " art of medicine" (the word " empathy" was not yet in frequent usage) played a substantial part in practice. Today we have highly accurate techniques for detecting disease and its complications in an early stage. Treatment has become scientific instead of empiric. There are specific measures that can be taken to cure numerous diseases and complications. Complications can be prevented. Surgeons can even transplant vital organs. The physician doesn ' t have to depend on nature to do the job alone. Because there is so much that he can do scientifically, the average physician now sees his therapeutic function differently than he did 50 years ago. He looks at patients in terms of overcoming disease in as rapid a time as possible, or holding it in check over the long term. He is liable to think less about relief and almost not at all about comfort and consolation. With the waxing of the science of medicine, the art of medicine has waned. Scientific medicine, however, may offer only meager help to many patients with disseminated cancer, likely none when the cancer is in a progressive, recurring, terminal form. The art of medicine can always be of aid. But patients are deprived of its benefits because today's physicians have not learned it or deem it inappropriate to their self-image as scientific practitioners. They see their therapeutic function almost solely in terms of control, recovery, and cure. If treatment cannot achieve these 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �goals, they feel defeated before they begin. Their defeatist attitude may be communicated to the other members of the medical team who work with the patient-residents, interns, students, nurses , nurses ' aides , even office secretaries. They no longer think of the patient as a human being with thoughts , feelings , need for empathy and assurance. To them he is already as good as dead, and their manner reflects that feeling. I don ' t want to be misunderstood. The role of the physician portrayed by Sir Luke Fildes in " The Doctor" is a thing of the past, and fortunately so, because of the tremendous advances in the science of medicine during the past 50-100 years. Today no one would expect a busy physician to sit for hours , even days , at the bedside of a critically-ill patient for whom he could do little else. However, it is not the quantity of time spent with such a patient that counts, but its quality. Rapport, heedfulness , warmth , understanding can be communicated in a few words a tone of voice, a smile, a touch . The cancer patient may adapt to the fact that his physician cannot cure him or prolong his life. He cannot accept being disregarded emotionally. It crushes his spirit. And that applies to his family too . (For palliation, empathy ought to rank with medical and surgical measures. An empathic physician can be the crucial factor in preventing a patient and his family from throwing away their time and money on quackery.) In the next article of this series I will discuss the reactions of physicians to a professional colleague with disseminated cancer who is not under their care. But for now let us look at how certain of them react to the persons who are their patients. Take the surgeon who finds diffuse carcinoma of the pancreas with nodal, peritoneal and hepatic metastases when performing a laparotomy on a 55-year-old housewife. He makes excuses for not stopping in after the operation to see the patient or talk to her anguished family. Making rounds with his resident, he leaves that patient until last. Then, after checking the chart at the nurses ' station, he turns to the resident and remarks : " There doesn ' t seem to be any change in this patient' s condition. It's late. I have a full schedule at the office. Why don ' t you look in on her today? I'll see her on rounds tomorrow . . ." Often that tomorrow never comes. Rather than face the death he sees growing in the patient, the surgeon continues to find excuses to avoid her. He fails the woman and her family , who all need the assurance of his presence. And then this advanced cancer patient goes home, perhaps with only a few months of life ahead of her. She becomes the responsibility of the internist who has been her personal physician for years and who referred her to the surgeon. As her disease worsens , her husband or some other member of the family calls the doctor. The reply is terse : " There 's nothing further I can do. It's a waste of time for me to come to the house. I have responsibilities to my other patients ... the ones I can help." FALL, 1974 17 JAMES F. HOLLAND, M.D . C hief of Medic ine A D epar tmen t at the R oswell Pa rk Memo rial Ins titute 1954 -1973. In 1956 he was appointed chairman of the NCI Acu te Leukemia Group 8 , a coopera t ive in t erna t ional g roup of phys ician s and scien tis ts whose investigations have increased the su rvival of childre11 w ith acute leukemia f rom one year afte r d iagnosis to more than five years for 70%. He received a 1972 Albert Lasker Award fo r h is contributions to the chemo therapy of leukemia. �-- -- - - - ~~ The circumstances in the foregoing case are not hypothetical. The same sort of things can happen to a physician who has disseminated cancer. I remember a physician in his 30s who developed what seemed to be an " acute abdomen. " At operation it was found that he had widespread peritoneal metastases, apparently from an infiltrating carcinoma of the stomach. The surgeon - on the faculty of a medical school and on the fulltime staff of a teaching hospital where the patient had taken a residency - could not bear to discuss the patient's condition with him. He avoided him in the hospital and failed to visit him on his return horne. The patient died in several months, embittered. He interpreted the surgeon's behavior not merely as a breach in personal relations but, in terms of medical ethics, as abandonment. DONALD P. PINKEL, M.D. Native of Buffalo and 1951 M .D. graduate of UB . Head of Pediatrics at the Roswell Park Memorial In stitute from 1956-61 and since then medical director of St. Jude's Child ren's Research Hospital in Memphis. His research brought him into association with Drs. Farber and Holland. Or. Pinkel received a 1972 Albert Lasker Award for his wo rk on th e chemotherapy of acute lymphocytic leukemia of childhood. The development of medicine as a science, and the parallel growth of medical specialization, have affected the physician's awareness of each individual patient as a total human being. What is true for the patient with disseminated advanced cancer can also be true for the patient with a cancer that is diagnosed early, treated adequately, and considered favorably for " cure. " A 44-year-old unmarried newspaper reporter in another city wrote to me, after undergoing a radical mastectomy for cancer of the breast with minimal axillary metastasis, " The surgeon says that I have ' healed beautifully.'" Then she added wryly : " Next week I'll be fitted for a prosthesis and will begin job hunting. In fact, I have a luncheon engagement this Friday with a prospective employer. My first public appearance since the operation. I'll have to wear a homemade stuffing, but maybe he won' t notice. " I suppose that when I start dating again, it will have to be with 90year-old men. ' 'I'm just not getting as much done as I used to. Many nights I have just enough energy to flop into bed at 9:30. This isn' t my idea of the way to live, and I'm going to do my best to change it. Next week I begin psychiatric counseling at a comprehensive care center, the name of which I've obtained through the local cancer society. " The surgeon who had operated upon the reporter had little or no awareness of his patient as a woman with all of the problems she faced. He didn' t see the still-open mental and emotional wounds that she bore from her disease and treatment. It was enough that the surgical wound had " healed beautifully." Medical education, in school and hospitals, gives students a thorough exposure, orientation, and training in regard to acute, controllable, recoverable and curable, especially organic, diseases. But how well does it prepare them, through regular assignment and follow-up of patients, through precept and example from clinical instructors, to care for human beings with chronic " incurable" diseases, for example disseminated cancer? 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Some time ago a physician and medical educator gave me one answer to this question. At his school the head of the department of medicine had proposed dividing the service in a large public teaching hospital into two parts. One would consist of acute, active, "interesting" cases, " those you can do something for," and the other of chronic cases with little or no chance of improvement, " the crocks," who are " poor teaching rna terial. " The former group would be assigned to the house staff and medical students. The latter would become in large measure the responsibility of part-time physicians hired from the community. The proposal was never activated. Perhaps my informant exaggerated the whole thing to make a point. But the view embodied in the proposal does exist, and as a result, some, perhaps too many, medical school graduates look on time for chronic "incurable" patients as a useless or wasteful expenditure outside the therapeutic function of the modern physician. Don' t get me wrong. I realize that in what I've written about care and empathy for chronic " incurable" patients I may have done an injustice to today's medical education and practice by raising general implications on the basis of a 'few selected examples of individual medical educators, physicians and patients. Please remember, however, that though not materially disabled or terminal, I' m a chronic " incurable" patient myself. For my disseminated cancer the science of medicine offers no probable permanent cure and no predictable method of control. That's the personal standpoint from which I've been writing. Further, during the past 1 V2 years, with the exception of my immediate family, I have felt closer to no one than to my fellow lymphoma patients who find themselves in the same leaky boat that I'm in. I've written also with them in mind. I have observed what empathic physicians, as well as other members of the medical team, mean to these men, women and children, whatever their general condition and prognosis. (Depending on his lesion, response to treatment, psychologic adjustment and luck, a patient with disseminated lymphoma can go for years in a relatively happy, useful life.) May I submit in evidence again only a single, selected example, but one that I'm sure epitomizes the meaning of empathy to the chronic "incurable" patient. A World War II veteran and college instructor with disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma sitting in the lymphoma-leukemia clinic comments: "Isn't everyone nice here! They're cordial to you. They make you feel as if you' re an individual, a person. They talk to you on your visits. They don' t expect that you know everything. You go away feeling better - more than from pills. At the (name of out-of-town center deleted) they treat you like a guinea pig." It's my impression (backed by a medical opinion poll of one UB senior student) that physicians trained in oncology who care for cancer FALL, 1974 19 JAMES T. GRACE JR. , M.D. (19231971). Director, chief of GI and soft tissue surgical services and director of the Viral Oncology Section at the Roswell Park Memoria/Institute from 1958-1971. The death of Or. Grace's two-year-old son (his namesake) from leukemia motivated him to go into cancer research. He had originally been in private practice as a family doctor and then as a surgeon. In 1961 Or. Grace, with E. A. Mirand, Ph.D., received the AMA silver medal for an exhibit on mammalian tumor viruses. His special research interest was the viral etiology of leukemia. �--- - - -- - -- - - patients principally, even in an institutional setting, differ on the average from other physicians in both their attitudes toward disseminated disease and their approach to the patient and his family. Their attitudes toward the disease are more objective, yet grasping for every possible hope. Their approach to the patient and his family is more understanding, yet holding out no false hope. The physician with greatest empathy, I suppose, would be one who had had cancer himself, or still had it. JOSEPH E. SOKAL, M.D. Chief of Medicine B Department at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute. He has headed research on the nature and treatment of lymphoma-leukemia including cellular immunity and immunotherapy. In November, 1926, Dr. Francis W. Peabody, in a lecture entitled "The Care of the Patient," described the philosophy of medicine which he had pursued as a student, researcher, teacher, administrator, and physician. Dr. Peabody was professor of medicine at Harvard and director of the Thorndike Memorial Laboratory at the Boston City Hospital. For him the doctor-patient relationship could be successful only if the doctor was a complete physician, combining human qualities with scientific knowledge and approaching the patient as a total person who happened to be sick. "What is spoken of as a 'clinical picture,' " Dr. Peabody told students at the Harvard Medical SchooL "is not just a photograph of a man sick in bed. It is an impressionistic painting of the patient surrounded by his home, his work, his relations, his friends, his joys, sorrows, hopes, and fears ... Thus the physician who attempts to take care of a patient while he neglects this [emotional] factor is as unscientific as the investigator who neglects to control all the conditions that may affect his experiment. .. Treatment of disease immediately takes its proper place in the larger problem of the care of the patient... The treatment of a disease may be entirely impersonal; the care of the patient must be completely personal. .. One of the essential qualities of the clinician is interest in humanity, for the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient." It is interesting, perhaps even significant, that Dr. Peabody should have put together his thoughts and feelings on the care of the patient, and expressed them publicly, after he knew that he had cancer. Less than a year following his lecture and its subsequent publication in JAMA, at the prime of his life and medical career. Dr. Peabody, aged 46, was dead from his malignant disease.

Abel, M '49, and Dr. David H. Abel, M'54 - are living at One Cunningham Drive, West Orange, New Jersey. Dr. Frances is assistant director of professional services working with ROCOM. This position involves audio visual multimedia programs in continuing education of health professionals. She is also listed in Who's Who of American Women, 8th edition, 1974-75. Dr. David was recently promoted to associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the New Jersey College of Medicine at Newark. He is a Fellow in the American Psychiatric Association. The Abel's especially enjoyed the Elizabeth Blackwell article that appeared in The Buffalo Physician (Vol. 8, #1). " I will always be grateful to Drs. Samuel Sanes and David K. Miller for their encouragement and the many opportunities that they made available to women students. With the help of these two professors we were able to organize the Elizabeth Blackwell Society for undergraduate medical students. Within the framework of this society we could discuss our common problems. Many times we invited women physicians to talk about their specialties. " Dr. Frances said. Husband, Wife Team Drs. Marra, Sheffer Honored Two medical school faculty members at the University were honored for their service to the School of Medicine at its annual faculty meeting in May. They are Drs. Edward F. Marra and John B. Sheffer. Dr. Marra, who has served as professor and chairman of the department of social and preventive medicine since 1960, was cited " in appreciation of his effective leadership, dependable support, and of his service as co-chairman of the Executive Committee (1970-74)." From Trinity College where he was a W.H. Russell Fellow and received a BS degree in 1945, he served in the U.S. Navy for the next two years, was awarded a medical degree in 1950 from Boston University, and completed graduate training in internal medicine. While serving on its faculty from 1953 to 1960 (he was promoted from instructor of preventive medicine to associate professor), Dr. Marra earned an MPH degree from Harvard University in 1955. Under his leadership in Buffalo over a 14-year span, not only have at least half a dozen faculty received their training to head similar departments at other medical centers, but he has been instrumental in setting up a comprehensive University undergraduate training program in family practice as well as help to organize programs in medical sociology. Dr. Sheffer, who has served on the U/B faculty for a quarter century, was honored " for loyalty to his alma mater and for indispensable services in maintaining the School's pathology program from 1971-74. " After receiving his medical degree at U/ B in 1947, Dr. Sheffer interned at Hackensack University from 1947-48 and completed a residency in pathology at Buffalo General Hospital over the next three years. In 1948 he joined the Buffalo pathology faculty as an instructor. He has also served as acting chairman from 1970-73, and has received numerous student awards for excellence in teaching. FALL, 1974 21 Dr. Marra Dr. Sheffer �A Or. Eric A. Barnard Dr. Barnard Receives Scholar A ward 22 BU FFA LO BIOCHEMIST was among 38 scientists in the country to be recognized for outstanding performance in the biomedical sciences by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation. He is Dr. Eric A. Barnard , chairman of the department of biochemistry, who has made pioneering contributions to the understanding of nervous function at the molecular level. With the coveted faculty scholar award (it covers full salary/ travel expenses for research studies anywhere in the world) the British-born and educated researcher will go to the M .R.C. National Institute for Medical Research in London , England for six months starting in January to continue work on receptors for acetylcholine, one of the major chemical messengers used in the nervous system. Explained Dr. Barnard, " when nerves carry messages in the brain or to muscles, they rely on specific ' receptors ' which recognize a particular chemical messenger. But how these receptors work and interact with drugs is yet to be determined. " The acetylcholine receptor, one of several receptors of the nervous system, is responsible for passage of messages from nerve endings to voluntary muscles. And in muscular diseases Dr. Barnard feels there may be some genetic defects involving this specific receptor protein. At any one time a team of about 10 graduate/ undergraduate students and postdoctoral fellows are at work in Dr. Barnard 's laboratories. Currently joining them are two Muscular Dystrophy Association Fellows- Drs. Oliver Dolly and Michael Hudecki . While the former and his associates work on purifying acetylcholine receptor from muscle, their major problem is to get it out from normal muscle in pure form to determine whether it is a single protein, and how it interacts with its messenger acetylcholine. Dr. Hudecki, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, is studying this disease in the experimental animal (chickens) at receptor protein level. The disease, of simple genetic origin in the strain of chicken they are studying, is similar to a common human dystrophy. Other laboratory approaches help determine how receptor molecules are arranged at nerve endings . In electron microscope studies a radioactive toxin made from snake venom is used to take " autoradiographs" or pictures of receptor sites at very high resolution. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs. Dolly and Hudecki check some measurements. There is a search for methods to identify/ isolate an ion-regulating component that combines with " receptor " to cause electrical change at muscle cell surface and thus allow messages to pass through . And electrophysical investigations by pharmacologist Edson X. Albuquerque may prove whether the receptor protein may be associated with another protein transporting sodium/ potassium ions through the membrane in a coordinated way as Dr. Barnard suspects. Other collaborative efforts have included Roswell Park Memorial Institute's George Kemp and Charles Wenner. Their work with muscle receptor isolated by Drs. Dolly and Barnard has led to the first successful demonstration of " reconstituting" a receptor in an artificial membrane. But Dr. Barnard was quick to point to studies underway in several other laboratories on electric organs of fish where a form of the acetylcholine receptor is abundant. The noted investigator spent six months last year at the Pasteur Institute with Dr. Jean-Pierre Changeaux, one of the leaders in developing new techniques for receptor work in the electric fish. Recalls Dr. Barnard, " it has only been over the past few years that we and others have been able to prove this almost century-old theory of individual receptor substances for nervous Dr. Hudecki checks a dystrophic chicken with two undergraduate biology students, Jack Tarabolous and " Skip " Beeler. �Work on enzyme active centers is reviewed by biochemistry graduate student Sam Otieno, technical assistant Roy Sambrotto, and Dr. Barnard. Dr. Dolly measures receptor radioactivity in samples as Dr. Barnard looks on. transmission of various kinds. These receptors do exist as specific molecules. And though we know they are proteins we continue to acquire masses of information on their makeup/location. Research on this receptor work is supported by the National Institute for General Medical Sciences and the Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America. But Buffalo, Dr. Barnard notes, is an important center for studying the basic neurosciences. He points to the presence of such groups as thuse of Sir John Eccles, Drs. Edson Albuquerque, Jack Klingman, Edward Koenig, Nicholas Leibovic, Werner Noell, David Triggle and Charles Wenner. The study of proteins and how they function has always interested Dr. Barnard. He is still looking at structure and evolutionary changes of certain enzymes. And understanding how receptor proteins work in the nervous system is a biochemical approach and the appropriate starting point to tackling problems in the brain at the molecular level. Dr. Barnard received his doctorate in biology from the University of London in 1957 and served on the faculty at King's College (England) until THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �1964 when he came to Buffalo as an associate professor in biochemistry. In 1969 he assumed the chairmanship of the department when the late Or. Richard Winzler went to Florida. He first visited this country in 1960 as a Rockefeller Fellow in the biochemistry and virus laboratory of the University of California at Berkeley. He has been a Guggenheim Fellow in 1969 at MRC Molecular Biology Laboratory in Cambridge (England) and a visiting professor the following summer at the University of Bordeaux (France). The professor of biochemistry and biochemical pharmacology has lectured extensively; in French last year at the Sorbonne as well as at several other centers in France. A frequent speaker at international meetings, he presented a symposium lecture on his recent work on the receptor at the recent Federation Meetings . On the editorial board of two international journals, he has organized two international sympsia, authored or coauthored well over 100 publications in scientific journals as well as chapters in several books. Or. Barnard still finds time for chairman responsibilities for the department of biochemisty, administrative duties in the School of Medicine that have included chairing the preclinical council and several important committees as well as teaching . Pathology Chairman Dr. John R . Wright was named professor and chairman of the department of pathology at the University, effective June 1. He will also head the pathology department at the Buffalo General Hospital. The announcement was made jointly by University President Robert L. Ketter and Dr. Theodore Jacobs, president of the Buffalo General Hospital. The Canadian-born physician graduated with honors from the University of Manitoba 's School of Medicine in 1959. He completed a rotating internship at the Winnipeg General Hospital and a year's residency in medicine there before switching to pathology at the Baltimore City Hospitals in 1961-63 and the Buffalo General Hospital (1963-64). Dr. Wright was a Fellow in endocrinology at the Buffalo General Hospital for a year (1965 -66) before joining the UB faculty as an instructor in pathology. Two years later, in 1967, he went to Johns Hopkins School of Medicine as assistant professor of pathology where he also served as visiting pathologist at Baltimore's Union Memorial Hospital and as assistant chief of pathology for Baltimore City Hospitals . The 38-year-old pathologist, who is noted for his studies in the amyloid-aging link, is a member of the Maryland Association of Pathologists, the Medical/Chirugical Faculty of the State of Maryland as well as the American Society of Clinical Pathologists and the International Academy of Pathology. Said Dr. Donald Larson, associate vice president for health sciences at the University on the appointment of the new professor and chairman of pathology, " Dr. Wright comes to us with an excellent background in teaching and is strongly committed to strengthening ties between basic science teaching in pathology with the clinical as well. We look forward to Dr. Wright joining us. " () FALL, 1974 25 �The program committee- Drs. Felix Milgrim, A/men Barron, ]ames F. Mohn, Erwin Neter (chairman). Immunology Symposium It was the fourth in a series of biennial convocations sponsored by The Center for Immunology. During four days of intensive scientific sessions and workshops more than 400 investigators from around the world shared extraordinary advances made in the field of immunology and related them to infectious diseases. Not long ago the human fetus and newborn were considered immunologically incompetent. Well established now is the fact that even the fetus can produce antibodies. By determining the kind of specific antibodies produced by the fetus, Alabama at Birmingham's Charles A. Alford, Jr. can diagnose intrauterine infections. Through studies he also showed that components of the human immune system develop early, some after only two weeks of gestation. 26 From Texas at Dallas' R. Billingham came strong support for maternal endowment of cellular immunity to the fetus . However he cautioned that transient immunological transfer of cells to babies - via maternal/fetal milk transmission - may spell trouble. Milk may be a significant source ofT -lymphocytes and these are responsible for allergic reactions of the delayed hypersensitivity type. From University of Pennsylvania' s David T. Rowlands they learned of some experimental models for fetal immunity. In the opossum with its short period of gestation, fetal antibody production to parasitic infection is more restricted than in the adult. New approaches in treating certain infectious diseases were explored. From New York University a pioneer in transfer factor reviewed these unique molecules " that are trying to tell us a new function of cell. " Dr. Sherwood Lawrence also told of newer animal models, in vitro assays to find its molecular spacing, and how this molecule that " confers on the recipient most of the immunological memories for immunity, bypassing active immunization," works. He also told of its newer clinical uses for disseminated immunological infection, for candidiasis where it is used as replacement therapy, and in a new trial underway for MS which may be a slow virus disease. From Hebrew University in Jerusalem there was a report on a major step forward in treating tumors in animals. While living BCG has been used as an enhancer in treating certain animal/human malignancies , Dr. Adam Bekierkunst explained that when BCG, in its killed form, is combined with cord factor, a component of tubercle baccili, it is easily as effective in treating skin tumors in the guinea pig while eliminating the danger of living tubercle baccili Dr. Jose ph A. Bel/anti �Drs. Bekierkunst, Ernst Beutner, Arthur G. Johnson, Horst Finger, David Dresser respond to questions on use of microbial agents as enhancers. that may cause complications in the immunologically-depressed individual as is the case when the viable form of BCG is used. However he showed that when using either one of the mixture separately there is a drop in effectiveness. While the immune system plays an important role in recovery from or protection against infection it may also contribute to damage in some viral infections. Pointing to the significance of most oncogenic viruses also being immunosuppressive was McMaster's Peter B. Dent. "Depression of immunocompetence," he said, " may be necessary for eventual development of malignancy following infection with virus. " From Johns Hopkins' Neal Nathanson came additional confirmation of these dual roles. In two experimental systems for cell-mediated immunity and antibodies formed in primary viral infections he found differences depending on the virus. While pathological damage caused by immunologic reactions may be virus-induced he pointed to the sometime dual role favoring survival or enhancement of disease. From the National Institute for Medical Research in London's David Dresser they received a review of increased antibody production/enhancement on three levels - the cellular, molecular, and anatomical. Among antibody enhancers discussed were those of pertussis organisms. While West Germany' s Horst Finger pointed to its inability to FALL, 1974 stimulate immune competence he stressed its important effect on macrophages, T and B cells. In his review of the role of cross-reacting antigens in both cancer and transplantation New York University's Felix Rapaport proposed that stimulus exerted by bacterial infections, manifested or subclinical, may be responsible for the " priming" of immunologic cells which then play a primary role in immunological surveillance. A similar picture with enteric baccili was given by Goteborg, Sweden' s Jan Holmgren. Possible sharing of antigen by enteric bacteria with kidney cells may point to an injurious effect by the immune response in patients with kidney infection. Reviewing several possible pathways for streptococcal infections was Rockefeller University's John Zabriskie. In models used, he found evidence of renal damage, a real sensitivity to antibody/antigen complex of renal tissue, and he implicated the immune complex in acute nephritis. Goteborg' s Lars A. Hanson explored clinical implications for cross-reacting antigens. While each of those with high avidity may produce antibody or protection, have identical/similar determinants on microorganisms, two systems of cross-reactive capsules, others with little avidity may induce antibody that is significant under certain conditions. NIH' s John B. Robbins reviewed his findings on common antigen that is shared by various 27 �Drs. Anne 5. and Guy P. Youmans microorganisms. Documentation of many such cross-reactions in bacteria through sophisticated techniques suggest the possibility of immunizing animals and possibly man with a harmless type of microorganism to protect against a pathogenic organism sharing the same antigen. Tulane's Gerald Domingue, a former Buffalonian, reported on the site of common antigen in bacterial infections and immunization to protect against experimental pyelonephritis. From John Hopkins' John J. Cebra came conclusive proof of a unique group of cells. These producers of lgA are committed to a molecular class that is unequally distributed and is more concentrated in the gut and bronchial lymphoid tissue than in the spleen tissue. He stressed its importance for defense against certain respiratory and intestinal diseases. From St. Mary's Hospital in Minnesota Thomas B. Tomasi, Jr., a former Buffalo faculty member who is an outstanding investigator of secretory antibodies, reported on progress made in splitting the lgA molecule. He also shared an exquisite structural model for the transfer version of lgA as well. There was general agreement on the natural immunization route - respiratory or intestinalas optimal for local immune response activation. A new test for assaying human cell-mediated immunity to viruses was presented by Georgetown's Joseph A. Bellanti, a former Buffalonian and au thor of a textbook on immunology. He added his assurance that the respiratory route is best as he reviewed results in models he developed in both animals/man for cell-mediated immunity to M. pneumoniae, rubella, and herpes labialis. 28 From Northwestern University's Georg F. Springer came a report that in certain vaccines there are blood group substances that may produce antibodies which may have a harmful effect. He also stressed the small amount of protection that is elicited in gonococcal infections for there may be repeated ones from the same source. There was a note of caution on a vaccine to be developed against this disease. " It must be far more stimulating of immunologic response than the disease itself," he said. The task? He feels it is a formidable one. From Louvain in Belgium's J. F. Heremans, a renowned immunologist, came an informative review on the role of local immune response in defense against infectious agents. He also characterized the cells, immunoglobulins, and mode of action. Naval Medical Research Institute's Emilio Weiss discussed the possible usefulness of vaccines against N. meningitidis and gonorrhoeae. While a vaccine against certain meningococcis has proven highly effective in the military an equally effective vaccine against gonorrhea in man has yet to be developed. In a morning devoted to bacterial vaccines that contain genetic material Drs. Anne and Guy Youmans clearly established that ribosomal vaccine from tubercle baccili is highly effective in the experimental animal. Other investigators discussed the role of similar vaccines from other diseaseproducing organisms. Dr. Felix Rapaport THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Thomas B. Tomasi, ]r. Connecticut's Peter A. Ward showed that cell-mediated immunity is stimulated on the mucosal surface of lung alveoli. And he concurred that there is better immune response stimulation through local application of vaccine rather than the parenteral route. Buffalo's Carel J. van Oss identified physical conditions that are necessary for effective phagocytosis of bacteria while Wayne State's Noel R. Rose (he is a former Buffalo Center for Immunology director) discussed defenses against toxoplasmosis. ) chemical communication is separateness of organisms." On the other hand the self recognition mechanism in symbiosis is used to " recognize one's partners, to be recognized back, in order to join up. " Chemical signals , other than antibodies/ lymphocytes that play a role in symbiotic association were reviewed. Pheromones, he explained, probably dominated for millions of years before vertebrates appeared, and photosynthesis during prokaryotic life. In speculating on how we evolved, " certain cells joined together to form larger, more elaborate cell masses and cell nuclei evolved within the new aggregates. " There was phagocytosis or ciliated movement, nucleated cells with the " semi-autonomy of mitochrondria with its own DNA, RNA and ribosomes, each different from that of the host animal cells with each very similar to bacterial ones. " Possible but not yet proven are endosymbionts or cytoplasmic entities in nucleated cells, derived from microbes a billion years ago. Explaining that symbiosis is a " nearly universal way of life, " he started with examples from the sea where " every form depends on others, some living inside others, occupying the same burrows, caraspaces, sharing food , living off each other, carrying each other around, even cleaning each other, " he pointed to the very specific partners that involve exchange of equally specific chemical signals received and read by specific chemoreceptors. Drs. David T. Rowlands, Georg F. Springer, Rupert E. WITEBSKY MEMORIAL LECTURER For Dr. Lewis Thomas, who is one of the world 's most active and stimulating immunologists, it was an " honor to have been named as a Witebsky Lecturer." A friend and coinvestigator of the late distinguished professor of bacteriology and immunology he recalled Dr. Witebsky as a "scholar, a civilized world citizen, a useful man for society, a man of quality." In his exploration of two self-recognition systems - one is immunology that keeps things apart and the other symbiotic relations that keeps them together - the head of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center sought the fundamental relation of some kind between them. In immunology, he explained, the chemical distinction is between self and nonself. " Its elaborate apparatus that depends on specific FALL, 1974 Dr. Lewis Thomas �Drs. Konrad ]. Wicher, ]oe Berry Other negotations, he continued, are handled by olfaction, taste or " an obscure sort of molecular recognition at membrane surfaces. " Anemones and damset fish " become associated through capacity of fish to produce adaptively a surface material which the anemone seems to recognize as self. " Fish therefore are not stung by tentacles. And barnacles that attach themselves to whales are not encountered in any other species, he said. Among terrestrial forms of life are less conspicuous symbiotic arrangements. An indispensable one, he said, is the myxotricha paradoxa. Living exclusively in the intestinal tract of an Australian species of termite, it is "responsible for digestion of wood fragments so necessary for the termite. A conventional partnership," he emphasized, "it is not a single creation but a symbiotic arrangement." 30 Bacterial symbionts also play a crucial role in economy of plants, insects, and vertebrates. Mycetocytes (bacterial colonies) are small, essential organisms that live in tissues of certain insects " seemingly as indispensable for the insect as rhizobia! bacterial are for leguminous plants. " And without contributions from coexisting microbes many bacterial species in the soil could not survive. Even viruses know about symbiosis, he said. There are mutually dependent, paired viruses recognized among bacteriophages as well as among animal ones. While " some behave like symbionts within their own hosts (bacteriophages of diphtheria, hemolytic streptococci) others, after establishing lysogeny, enable host cells to produce their own exotoxins. " Explaining that the code for toxin " is information belonging to the virus, unless diphtheria baccilus is infected it is not a pathogen," he said. Even in biology, symbiosis plays an important role - there are mechanisms that " hold the entire ecosystem of earth together. " He explained that allelochemics, a term proposed by Whitaker account " for the enormous chemical communication network by which all the collective varieties of life keep in touch with each other, modulate each other's growth, regulate space allocations, and distribute resources around with equity." While some signals give information about territorial limits, food supplies, others environmental news, the most important " are surely the declarations of self. Without certainty concer- Dr. Noel R. R ose THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Drs. Lars A. Hanson, ]. F. Heremans ning this specific piece of information for each creature," he said, " the system is unworkable. " The importance of self was reaffirmed by Dr. Thomas in organisms that lack any immunological equipment. For the annelid worm can reject homografts while accepting autografts. The two clear-cut mechanisms showing how sense of self is conveyed in nature, he said, are the immunological recognition system, and a system for olfactory recognition of self/nonself that is mediated by pheromones. While still unclear how the effector is stimulated in the mouse (there is an H 2 antigen complex and a T -lymphocyte receptor), its mechanism is " exquisitely selective, precisely specific, and potentially destructive," as shown by destruction of homografts of tissue from one mouse when placed in one of another line. In describing three experimental models (fish/ man/mice) that show individual selfmarking for olfactory mechanisms, he pointed to the yellow bullhead that " showed the ability to recognize changes in the social standing of individual fish as the outcome of disputes over territory or leadership. When the leading bullhead lost his position his friends knew of the change even before he did by the change in his smell." While it is not yet known whether humans have any mechanisms quite like this he pointed to a specific, self-identifying odorant " that marks each human being even though we do not orFALL, 1974 dinarily have any consciousness of this ourselves. Trained hounds can distinguish one man's particular scent from all others and in recent studies dogs detected the odor of a light fingerprint on a glass slide and could distinguish it from all others for as long as six weeks when the scent finally fades away." If there is a relationship between immunology and symbiotic recognition system Dr. Thomas believes that the mouse model will offer a possible experimental approach. Conjecturing that when things happening at surface receptors of lymphocytes come up against their specific antigens, there may be something in common with what happens between olfactory cell receptors and their specific odorants. For in specific studies certain olfactory cells will only fire when exposed to certain specific odorants. Already known are some 62 chemical odorants for which some humans lack receptors and the numbers of different receptors which may mean different cell types, he continued, are quite impressive. In the new field of taste physiology there are now models for sweet/ sour substances. And the possibility of modulating or enhancing the action of pheromones/ other odorants- when we know what happens at olfactory receptor surfaces - will become enormous, he said. " Investigators of other kinds of chemoreceptor cells- taste, olfactory - are now being driven to make use of the same dreamlike pictures that immunologists have had to depend on for so many decades," and diagrammatically he feels " that the two fields may be ready to converge."

Carol/ McPhee, research associate in psychiatry, and Dr. Robert Schuder, assistant professor of anesthesiology, demonstrate resuscitation . Teaching and research focused on better delivery of services are the objectives of the Community Psychiatry Division in the department of psychiatry. " While the central issue of our field is how to provide more and better service to people in need, we feel we can make our maximum contribution through preparing those who will be directing the service agencies rather than attempting to give much service ourselves, " explained Dr. Jack Zusman, professor of psychiatry and director of the Division of Community Psychiatry. The new division was founded in May 1969. Although located at the E.]. Meyer Memorial Hospital, it has strong relationships with many other groups in the University and general community. Most of its courses are offered through the department of social and preventive medicine from where many of its students also come. One of the most popular courses, taught by Dr. Zusman and Mr. William Carnahan, a local attorney, is offered jointly with the Law School. Most part-time faculty and many students are drawn from community agencies throughout Western New York. One of the major activities of the Division is the Community Mental Health Service Administration Training Program headed by Dr. RayTHE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �mond Bissonette. " Through a wide variety of courses, seminars, individual tutorial programs, supervised field placements and field trips we prepare the agency administrators of the future, " Dr. Bissonette said. " Because our part-time faculty comes from the group of administrators and clinicians actively engaged in practice in the community, we are able to provide meaningful and timely educational experiences for our trainees. When placed in an administrative position, they are not overwhelmed by the sudden responsibilities or by being in unfamiliar territory as many clinically trained professionals in the past placed in similar positions have been. " There are 15 graduate students including one resident in psychiatry currently enrolled in the training program which leads to a certificate. The trainees represent a wide variety of backgrounds and experience. Some are traditional mental health professionals - psychologists and social workers. Others are members of groups less traditionally involved in formal mental health activities but now becoming increasingly important - clergy and business administrators. After completing the program the trainees are usually employed as administrators and assistant administrators in agencies such as community mental health centers. Through its continuing education activities the Division also offers a variety of other sorts of training for practitioners and specialists in related fields. Recent educational conferences have focused on the " Future Role of the State Hospital " and " Evaluation of Alcohol , Drug Abuse and Mental Health Programs. " " Our research efforts are concentrated in developing and applying methods of evaluating output, efficiency and quality of services ," e:-.plains Mr. Robert Joss , director of operations research. " The emphasis in our research work , as in the rest of the Division, is on multidisciplinary involvement. Representatives of most of the behavioral sciences can be found on our staff or working with us as consultants. " The Division 's research projects have included evaluation of the emergency mental health efforts following the Hurricane Agnes flood in Wilkes-Barre , Pennsylvania ; an examination of the effects of the opening of the new community mental health center in Niagara Falls ; the effectiveness of a new unit established in the Erie County Probation Department and a number of other similar projects .

" We have several hundred books and several thousand journal article reprints, catalogued and cross-indexed. Many of them are not available elsewhere in Western New York, " he reported. The library has grown through the efforts of Mr. Elmer F. Bertsch, assistant to the division director, and his staff. Dr. Zusman and all of his colleagues are very proud of their accomplishments in their first five years. " We hope we have demonstrated the usefulness and importance of the developing subspecialty of Community Psychiatry and that we have become an accepted member of the University community. " Dr. Zusman emphasized that much of the credit for supporting and assisting the Division through the difficult years of establishment and growth belongs to Psychiatry Department Chairman, S.

There are times when it would really be harmful to the child and its parents to sustain life. Our guide in these cases should be to balance the problems and grief of continued treatment on the one hand with death on the other. Every case must be judged on an individual basis. " That is what Dr. Raymond S. Duff, associate professor of pediatrics at Yale University, said in Buffalo. " We doctors are not gods, " he said. " We' re just human beings. In medicine, there is no certainty that's absolute. But perhaps as certain as the rising sun, we can know that if a seriously retarded infant or one born with multiple birth defects is kept alive, that survivor could be socially dead, a status no one would care to occupy. " The physician-educator said " when it comes to deciding whether a seriously-ill patient should be allowed to die, patients and families should have more power than they do now and hospitals and doctors should have less. In recent years medical specialization and institutionalization of care have claimed more and more power to decide in their own interests to the exclusion of patient and family interest. " Late last year Dr. Duff and Dr. A .G. M. Campbell of the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, disclosed that during a 30 month period at the Yale-New Haven Hospital intensive care nursery, 43 infants were allowed to die as a result of deliberately withholding vital life sustaining treatment. In each case the child was hopelessly ill, congenitally deformed or both. " All decisions made by a physician regarding a patient contain both medical and ethical factors. Because of the ethical component the patient and family should have a voice in what options should be taken, " Dr. Duff said. " Developments in medical technology have expanded the options which are available both ethically and medically. In many cases treatment has been devised which can keep a patient alive but do no more than that. But the patient may prefer to die. " Before modern medicine it didn ' t matter very much whether the patient had a significant voice because a physician did not have much of a choice when it came to treatment. However, the capacity for controlling life and living to the extent that we now can has created more ethical considerations which should involve both the patient and the family, " Dr. Duff said. The Yale University pediatrician admitted that he did not know who has the right to decide " life and death" situations. " But in respect to individual values and religious beliefs that many people have I think that the physician as a person trying to help the ill and the suffering does his best. If you are concerned about the Godlike Physician, you can also say that God gave us minds and hearts to think with. " When asked if this was the only way out for the severely ill and deformed Dr. Duff said " some people believe it is the only way out or at least the best way out. In the decisions I have participated in and those that I have studied people feel it is the right way out and they don' t see any conflicts between that decision and a person 's religion. " Dr. Duffs lecture was part of the Harrington Lecture Series. It was sponsored by the Medical School and the Western New York United Ministries in Higher Education. ) FALL, 1974 35 Ethical Problems of Modern Medicine Dr. Duff �-- -- Or.

Improved Learning - - - -- - - If you want self learning to occur, say a team of behavioral psychologists, than you must provide numerous practice cycles. So impressed were gyn/ ob chairman Dr. Wayne Johnson and gyn/ ob teaching program director Dr. Vincent Capraro with the feedback system of self learning presented at Duke University by Drs. Rita and Stuart Johnson that they were asked to present a similar workshop for interested physician/ researcher instructors here in Buffalo. " It is the most powerful means of assuring that students are learning what you wish them to learn," the 30 attendees were told as they began to prepare a short self-learning unit which they would in turn test, revise until their desired objectives were reached. The importance of practice cycles to reach each objective was again stressed by the Drs. Johnson as well as feedback following each one to show the student how well he is doing. Revision, they continued, may be necessary to bring about desired objectives. " You want a testable unit designed for clear objectives," the Johnsons said. " You must provide practice, followed by feedback , revision, and retesting so that you will have a tool that will stimulate, make the student more eager to learn and you, the faculty, can be tutors/ stimulators. You want to produce a package that will guarantee success, allow the student to work at his own pace through a unit that is broken up into small steps. The student practices and learns as he moves through each step in the unit. " At work on preparing self learning packages. 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Instructor/ students react to units produced during workshop. In evaluating students they were cautioned to stop comparing them. "What you want to know is whether most of them meet most of the objectives that you set. If not, you want to be able to identify the changes necessary to assure that they do. Expect 90 percent of your students to get 90 percent of the objectives, " they were told. Also held was a teaching workshop for ob/gyn faculty in anticipation of a revised curriculum that will incorporate self instructional materials at all teaching hospitals. l A student/ instructor tests a self learning unit.

FALL, 1974 �Th e oath 128th Annual Commencement In the original Medical School graduating class in 1847 there were only 17 graduates who compl e ted a total medical program of 16 weeks. ) There were more minority (26) and women (18) graduates in the 128th graduating class of the School of Medicine than ever before. The 119 seniors marched in the processional, took the Maimonides and Hippocratic oaths, were hooded, and signed the Book of Physicians. From their senior class president came congratulations on " making it through the four rewarding and growing years. " Bruce Middendorf also offered them some ideas on resistance to scientific discovery that " radically challenges our view of man. " One, by neuroanatomist Harold S. Burrs on experiments in electrical fields surrounding living organisms, may help to elucidate the mechanism of acupuncture. The other, by Indian Yogi Swami Rama, on physiological demonstrations in voluntary reduction of heart rate during meditative state, has tremendous implications to understanding health and perhaps influencing disease. " As physicians," Dr. Middendorf sees " our task will be to use our expertise as a life-giving force . .. to critically examine this information. " While the lay public holds " our opinions in high esteem we must always let them be informed opinions." For his dedication to teaching and concern for students Dr. Thomas Commiskey was honored in the Medentian yearbook. In his response, the former assistant dean for student affairs and now a radiology resident at the E. ]. Meyer Memorial Hospital, posed the question, " What are you doing the rest of your life?" Reviewing decisions that led to his return to Buffalo as dean of students, he pointed to the many opportunities available to the graduates of 197 4, the " great responsibilities and potential to do enormous good . Whatever your answer," he said, " I urge you to do it with sensitivity and care." 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �22 Seniors Honored Twenty-two senior medical students at the University shared 18 awards at commencement exercises of the School of Medicine at Kleinhans Music Hall.

They are Dr. Thomas G. Cummiskey, former assistant dean for student affairs who is currently a radiology resident at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, and Dr. John B. Sheffer, clinical professor of pathology who has served on the faculty for almost a quarter century. In citing Dr. Cummiskey, " .. . throughout our four years of medical school we have been privileged to know Dr. Thomas G . Cummiskey ... his office may have been considered minor by some but he was one of the few friends we had among Administration during the past four year. He assumed the title of Dean of Student Affairs in the summer of 1970... The Coach as he is better known, was a friend to all students; he could always be counted on to help with a problem, listen to and examine a grievance or simply offer a warm smile and a friendly " hi" . . . he kept us abreast of developments concerning our education and philosophized about what the senior year meant; in the time of our most acute need he temporarily relinquished other responsibilitites to write our Dean's letters of internships. To have gone through Medical School without him would have been our misfortune. " Dr. Cummiskey served as assistant dean for student affairs from 1970-73. The 41 year old physcian graduated from UB Medical School in 1958, interned at the Buffalo General Hospital. A residency in surgery at Cincinnati General Hospital was interrupted by a two-year stint (196062) in the U.S. Army Reserve Medical Corps in Shreveport, Lousiana. He remained in that city for a year of internal medicine at Confederate Memorial Center, then returned to Buffalo in 1963 to complete a residency in internal medicine at Buffalo General Hospital. Dr. Cummiskey has held both University and hospital appointments at the Buffalo General (1965-66) and Veterans (1966- 67) Hospital before joining the American United Life Insurance Company in Indianapolis as assistant medical director. Two years later, in 1969, he became associate medical director. Dr. Sheffer was cited with heartfelt appreciation for " . . . imparting knowledge to a heterogenous group of students, a task that the seniors felt is one of herculian dimensions if one is to achieve an educational cuisine palatable to students' tastes. In our estimation one who has attained this level of achievement is Dr. Sheffer. When called on to construct/coordinate a pathology course a week before classes began that he was even able to approach success is remarkable, that he succeeded so triumphantly is almost incredible. " A member of the faculty since 1950 Dr. Sheffer received his medical degree at UB in 1947, interned at Hackensack Hospital (194748) and completed a residency in pathology at the Buffalo General Hospital in 1948-51. The dental students honored a former faculty member, Dr. Raymond Krug, who is associate professor and chairman, department of fixed prosthodontics at the University of North Carolina. He was on the UB dental faculty from 1970 to 1973. " FALL, 1974 43 Or. Cum miskey Or. Krug �Dr. Felsen visits with two medical school students, Margaret Mitchell and Glenn Rothfeld, at the E.]. Meyer Memorial Hospital. Indian Health Service A 1966 Medical School graduate is the n ew deputy director of program operations for the Indian Health Service. Dr. James D. Felsen 's interest in Indian health began in 1967 while he was taking his residency at the Peach Springs Health Center on the Hulapa Indian Reservation in Arizona (70 miles west of Flagstaff). "I made housecalls on horseback. We had two clinics - one at Peach Springs and another 60 miles into the canyon, where 300 Havasupai Indians lived. We were at the clinic every three weeks for two days. A nurse was stationed in the canyon and if there was an emergency she would contact us via short wave radio and we would use a helicopter to get people out of the canyon to the hospital or our Peach Springs clinic." From 1968-70 Dr. Felsen was with the San Carlos Apache tribe in Arizona where he was clinical director of a 40-bed accredited hospital. He was also responsible for the comprehensive health delivery of services to over 5,000 Apache Indians. As part of his residency program in community medicine he spent a year in Tulsa, Oklahoma with the city-county health department. It was here that Dr. Felsen saw the complexities of urban health delivery (preventive, curative and rehabilitative). During 1971-72 he was at the Harvard School of Public Health, where he received his master's degree 44 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �in public health. He studied the development, administration, and evaluation of health care delivery programs as well as health planning, policy formation, politics and law. Dr. Felsen also served as medical director of the Peace Corps in Sierra Leone, West Africa four months in the summer of 1969. He was responsible for the health of 400 Peace Corps volunteers. Since 1972 he has been in Rockville, Maryland at the headquarters of the Indian Health Service of the Health Services Administration of HEW. " The recruitment of primary care physicians is my major responsibility. We need about 200 physicians a year for the Indian Health Service. Our first recruiting started in the fall of 1973, shortly after the military draft ended. Our major appeal is a new challenge, some adventure and personal fulfillment. Salaries are not a big problem, because there are a lot of people who ' want to do something different.' Most recruits stay at least two years," Dr. Felsen said. The young physician is also responsible for monitoring the health standards in 51 hospitals and 87 ambulatory care centers located on Indian reservations in 24 states. " We take care of about one-half of the Indian population (500,000) that live on reservations. " The physician is always the head of our health team on the reservation. In every case he must develop and integrate a comprehensive approach to health care. All members of his health team (nurses, therapists, dentists, social workers and others) become completely involved in health education, sanitation, and other community health affairs. We have a very progressive health program that is comprehensive. Our consultation and backup services are excellent too," Dr. Felsen said. Dr. Felsen is also active in the legislative field. He analyses Federal health legislation as it affects Indian health. This means working with the subcommittee of the Department of Interior on Indian Health as well as numerous other congressional committees. The goal of the Indian Health Service is to raise the health status of the Indian and Alaska native people to the highest possible level. Since 1955, when HEW took over the Indian Health Program, the infant death rate has declined 62 per cent; the death rate from gastroenteritis and other diarrheal diseases has declined 84 per cent; the tuberculosis death rate has decreased 86 per cent; the influenza and pneumonia death rate has declined 57 per cent; and the death rate from certain causes of mortality in early infancy has decreased 81 per cent. New facilities constructed since 1955 include 13 hospitals, 17 health centers, and 58 field stations. Major alterations have been made at 14 standing facilities and other hospitals and health centers were modified to serve as comprehensive community health facilities. During this same period, physicians assigned to the program increased from 125 to 486, dentists from 40 to 180, and registered nurses from 780 to 1 ,100. A significant trend in the Indian health program has been the increased acceptance by Indians and Alaska Natives of health care services, especially utilization of ambulatory services. Hospital admissions have doubled, out-patient visits have increased five-fold , and dental services have quadrupled. In addition, almost all babies are now born in hospitals rather than at home. Direct patient medical care accounts for just over 50 per cent of the budget. " This year we are concentrating our efforts towards educating the public. We want to make Indian Health a household word," Dr. Felsen concluded.() FALL, 1974 45 �Seven Medical Facuity Retire Seven medical faculty at the University - all are 70 years old - will retire on the last day of August after collectively serving a total of 220 years. Six are medical graduates of U/B; one of Harvard University. They are Drs. Evelyn Alpern; Walter F. King; David K. Miller; Angelo S. Naples; J. Frederick Painton, Sr.; Bruno G. Schutkeker; and Walter D. Westinghouse. Three are from the department of medicine. Dr. David K. Miller received his medical degree from Harvard University in 1929. Following an internship at Boston City Hospital he studied in Germany and Austria, and served on the staff of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research before he came to Buffalo in 1937 as an instructor in medicine and to head the county hospital' s laboratories. Two years later he became professor of medicine. He headed the Meyer Hospital's department of medicine from 1939 to 1967 when he asked to be relieved of his hospital duties. In 1971 he was reappointed professor of medicine. He is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, the Harvey Society, and recipient of a School of Medicine plaque for " contributions as outstanding teacher, scholar, and clinician." Dr. Miller has served on the faculty for 37 years. Dr. J. Frederick Painton, Sr. completed medical studies at U/ B (MD in 1927). He joined the faculty in 1938 as assistant in therapeutics and became clinical associate professor of medicine in 1963. During his 42 years of faculty service that was interrupted by two years of military service (1942-43), the Fellow of the American College of Physicians headed medicine at the Millard Fillmore Hosptial from 1946 to 1969, served as president of the hospital's medical staff, and was instrumental in setting up a residency program in medicine there. Dr. Walter D. Westinghouse, a U/ B alumnus (MD in 1931) joined the faculty as an assistant in 1938 and in 1958 became clinical assistant professor. His 36 years of faculty service was interrupted by a military leave in 1944-46 as a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Naval Reserves. Two are from the department of ophthalmology. Dr. Walter F. King, a 1928 U/ B medical school graduate, joined the faculty in 1934 as an assistant after completing postgraduate studies at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital's eye institute and in Vienna, Germany, and Prague. He was made a clinical associate professor in 1963. The Fellow of the American Academy of ophthalmology-otolaryngology and the American College of Surgeons has completed 40 years of service at the University. Dr. AngeloS. Naples, also a U/ B medical graduate (1931) served during the second world war as a major and was a colonel in the U .5. Army Reserves Deputy Co. - 338th General Hospital. From 1949-59 he headed the ophthalmology department at the Veterans Hospital and joined the University faculty in 1961 as a clinical assistant. Five years later, in 1966, he became a clinical instructor. He has served on the faculty for 13 years. The remaining two retirees are from psychiatry. Dr. Evelyn Alpern, also a graduate of U/ B (MD in 1926) has directed child guidance clinics in Providence, Rhode Island; in Buffalo, and at the Children's Hospital here. She joined the faculty in 1948 as an assistant and in 1966 became associate professor of psychiatry as well as clinical assistant professor of pediatrics. A Fellow of the American Orthopsychiatric Association she has served on its membership/ program committees. She holds a 26-year service record with the University. 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Bruno G. Schutkeker, following medical studies at U/ B (MD in 1928), pursued postgraduate work in neuropsychiatry at Columbia (1934) and Syracuse (1946-47} Universities. While serving as commanding officer with the 119th medical battalion of the 44th Infantry Division of the 7th Army he won a Bronze Star. In 1945 he was commissioned a full Lt. Colonel. He was supervising psychiatrist at Buffalo State Hospital from 1931-40 before he joined the faculty in 1948 as an instructor. In 1960 he became a clinical assistant professor. He has served for 26 years. All were honored at the School of Medicine' s annual faculty meeting in May . . Dr. Schenk Dr. Worthington G. Schenk, Jr., chairman of the department of surgery, is the new president-elect (1974-75} of the Society for Vascular Surgery. Its limited membership of 250 surgeons specialize in the care of blood vessel disease by surgical means. The 52-year-old surgeon joined the Medical School faculty in 1954 as instructor in surgery, became professor of surgery in 1966, and three years later was acting chairman of the department of surgery, a position he held until his appointment as chairman in 1972. Dr. Schenk received his MD degree from Harvard Medical School in 1945, interned at the Massachusetts General Hospital over the next year. Before joining the E. ]. Meyer Memorial Hospital housestaff as surgery resident in 1948 he served with the U.S. Navy for two years. He has been on the E.]. Meyer Hospital staff since 1948 when he joined as a surgery resident, was appointed to associate attending surgeon in 1959, attending surgeon the following year, and as director of surgery there in 1966. Dr. Schenk is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a Diplomate of the American Board of Surgery. He has held offices in several national societies - secretary of the Society for Clinical Surgery and Society for Vascular Surgery (treasurer and vice president). He was on the National Institutes of Health's surgery study section, was president of the Buffalo Surgical Society and has served on the Council, Central Surgical Association. A contributor of over 165 articles to medical journals, he has also been active on many University committees, in civic affairs in local, state, and national professional organizations. O FALL, 1974 47 Dr. Schenk �Center for Immunology Dr. M ohrz Or. ]ames F. Mohn has been appointed by the Governor of New York State to the newlycreated Council on Human Blood and Transfusion Services. The physician-educator will serve a two-year term on the Council of eight that, with the Commissioner of Health, will establish minimum standards for the collecting, processing, fractionating, storing, distributing, and supply of human blo od or blood derivatives used for transfusions. Dr. James F. Mohn, professor of microbiology and head of the blood group research unit has been appointed director of the Center for Immunology at the University. The 52-year old Buffalo-born and educated physician assumed directorship on July 1 of the Center. It was created in 1967 by the late Dr. Ernest Witebsky (distinguished professor and past chairman of bacteriology and immunology) to assure coordination and extension of a wide scope of immunological research and teaching in Buffalo. For it is here where all interested immunologists in the community meet and exchange high quality, indepth studies on all types of immunologic responses to better understand factors responsible for resistance to disease and to narrow the gap between research and patient care. Biennial symposiums and summer workshops sponsored by the Center attract leading immunologists from around the world to Buffalo. Dr. Mohn, renowned for his work in blood group immunology, joined the bacteriology and immunology faculty here as an instructor a year after graduation from UB medical school in 1945 . Over the next quarter century he rose to a full professorship. He has served as bacteriologist/ serologist at the Niagara Sanatorium (Lockport), directed the Buffalo General Hospital's blood bank, and as consultant to blood banks at the Veterans and Deaconess Hospitals. He has also served as consultant in immunohematology to the Erie County Laboratories , Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and on the National Research Council's subcommittee on transfusion problems . A Fulbright scholarship in 1952 at Cambridge under Dr. Robin Coombs was interrupted by a call to milita ry service. Over the next three years he served in Walter Reed Army Medical Center's immunology division as assistant to the director and headed administration services at its Army Medical Service graduate school. Ten years later in 1962 he returned to Cambridge as a National Science Foundation Fellow to continue advanced research in immunology with Dr. Coombs . In 1969 he became the first Buffalonian to receive an honorary faculty appointment to Cambridge's department of pathology. Dr. Mohn is also a member of the State Department of Health' s clinical laboratory advisory committee which enacts all of its diagnostic laboratory services performed in New York State. The prolific contributor to the literature has served as contributing editor to Vox Sanguinis, the Journal of Blood Transfusion and Immunohematology, and as associate editor and board member of Transfusion. Among his numerous national and international professional memberships are the American Association of Immunologists, the British Society of Immunology, International Society for Blood Transfusion, American Society for Microbiology, American Association of Blood Banks (he has chaired its scientific programs/ awards committees), and the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine. Dr. Mohn is also a Fellow of the International Society of Hematology which he was instrumental in founding , and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. O 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Barbara Rennick has been named acting chairman of the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics in the School of Medicine. The professor of pharmacology assumed her new duties June 1. The appointment is effective through May 31 , 1975 unless a permanent chairman is nominated and appointed at an earlier date. 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 corning to Buffalo she was at Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse, Mount Holyoke College, and the University of Cincinnati. ') Women in Medicine The double standard in health care, which sometimes works to the disadvantage of women patients and physicians, was the theme of a special symposium sponsored by women medical students. " The next generation must be brought up to know that not all women are nurses and not all men are doctors ," said Dr. Nancy ]. Stubbe, clinical instructor in surgery and anatomical sciences. She was one of four women physicians and medical school faculty members on the panel. Dr. Daphne ]. Hare, assistant professor of medicine and biophysical sciences, cited the discrepancy in treatment of male and female patients at the April meeting in the Harriman Faculty Club. " The majority of male doctors probably give a less thorough physical exam to women. And when it comes to getting dialysis treatment, physicians often use medical and social criteria. Since society can' t accommodate all these people, some must die . In some instances women are deemed worth less socially than men." The treatment of women in the mental health field was also attacked by Dr. Hare. " I think the evidence shows there is a tendency to take complaints and symptoms of women and write them off as psychosorna tic.'' Dr. Rose Ellison, associate professor of medicine, was optimistic about the future of women in medicine. " With women being accepted in more and more positions, it is going to get easier and easier. " Another panel member spoke of the rewards of a career in medicine. Dr. Cynthia Clayton, assistant professor of pediatrics, said " I have never regretted going to medical school. " Dr. Ruth Knoblock, who graduated from medical school 43 years ago, urged the medical students to become more active in the American Medical Women's Association. She is president of the Branch 18 of the New York State Chapter. Three students - Serafin Anderson , class of 1976, Mindy Friedman and Sharon Lipschitz, class of 1977- arranged the symposium. <) FALL, 1974 49 Dr. Rennick �Summer Fellowships Through a unique opportunity 38 medical students will be able to enrich their medical studies over the summer months. Under a summer fellowship program at the School of Medicine, 16 freshmen, 20 sophomores, and two juniors will receive from $750 to $1000 for an eight-to-ten week experience in either basic or clinical science projects, to investigate health care or community problems or to be involved in an educational investigation not covered in their medical curriculum. Here is how the program works. From a list of potential faculty sponsors available in the Dean's office, interested students may select one to work with on ongoing research or may pursue their own interests by locating a compatible sponsor. The proposal for a summer experience is then forwarded to an eight-member summer fellowship committee. They are Drs. Seymour Axelrod (psychiatry}; Carl Bentzel (medicine}; Gerard Burns (surgery); David Dean (medicine}; Murray Ettinger (biochemistry}; John Edwards (medicine}; Perry Hogan (physiology}; and Frank Kallen (anatomy). After each committee member rates each application, the highestrated ones are then funded. Explained Dr. Dean who is chairman of the committee, " we received more funds to cover research-oriented projects than for clinical experiences. " Five students were awarded $1000 grants for continuing projects that were innovative and imaginative. "We hope, " Dr. Dean continued, " that these special awards will encourage excellence by students who want to pursue worthwhile problems in depth. Last year these students reported on their research at a special symposium. We hope to continue this opportunity," he said. While the majority of students will be working in the Buffalo area, one will be at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, one at Maimonides Medical Center, New York City, and one at SUNY, Stony Brook Medical Center, Long Island. <) Continuing $1000 Research Projects Local Project Horner, Douglas B.

() FALL, 1974 51 Tone Johnson ]r. �--- - -------- A New Kind of Physician ''W e Dr. Haughton, Marlene Bluestein must introduce the 'caring doctor' to medical education. We need a new kind of physician. " That is what Dr. James Haughton told students and faculty at the annual Harrington Lecture in April. The executive director of the health and hospital governing commission, Cook County, Chicago said " our major incentive should be to get medical school graduates into public health. In this environment they can practice good medicine and serve the people who need to be served. The satisfaction of serving people is enough incentive and is greater than money." Dr. Haughton went on to say that " doctors are technical addicts. They use technology as a response to disease. Physicians often regard the alleviation of human suffering as scutwork. " He charged medical schools with stressing specialties and sub-specialties, and contributing more to the problem of health care delivery than the solution. " It is time for change. The solution must come from medical educators and students. We must be more human in our approach to medicine and patients. Students must demand education that will help the nation' s health. Resist influences that do not let you respond to the community, strip you of your humanity and redefine your excellence," the Panamanian-born physician warned. " Our education focuses upon the system instead of the patient. This is wrong. And as a result there is a fear for caring for the patient among some medical school graduates. You can' t become a good doctor by staying in your lab and reading books. " Dr. Haughton warned that teaching hospitals often compound the problem of education. " As a physician expands his education his service to patients becomes less. Students who work in prisons or in neighborhood clinics have better relations with patients than those who remain in teaching hospitals. " The physician-educator went on to say that many Americans believe having their own doctor is a status symbol. " We must teach people to be guardians of their own health, and not rely so much on physicians." Dr. Haughton said he would like to explode the myth that good clinicians are not good teachers. " Our clinicians at Cook County Hospital are good bedside teachers." Dr. Haughton, who practiced obstetrics for 15 years, said that other physicians are the single influence that most alienates young doctors from their patients. The emphasis on medical specialties rather than patient health has resulted in the deplorable frequency with which physicians see " nth degree disease because we neglect to teach the patient to protect his own health." On national health insurance, Dr. Haughton said he was not " hung up" on the insurance notion and pointed out that some European nations with national health insurance are turning away from it. The need, he said, is for national health financing in whatever form will achieve the goal of removing finance as an obstacle to health care. 52 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Currently some 30 million Americans, including a growing number of the middle class, are without health insurance because they are unable to afford it. In an afternoon rap session with students Dr. Haughton talked about his 12 years in administrative public health positions in New York City and Chicago where he has assumed responsibility for health service programs for Cook County's 1,500,000 indigent. The Cook County Hospital has a School of Nursing, a 1,600-bed acute hospital, a 1,900bed chronic disease hospital, and an 80-bed acute care facility for inmates of Cook County Jail and House of Corrections. The 48-year-old internist/ surgeon/ administrator mentioned the hospital's medical hierarchy - medicine, nursing, and administration. " We have inservice training programs for nutritionists, nurse practitioners, therapists, and social workers. And about 30 former medical corpsmen work in the Cook County Jail. " Dr. Haughton believes ambulatory care for the indigent must be increased. " We must provide primary care for patients and they should not have to travel an hour or more to see a physician. We need more neighborhood free clinics with hospital backup services and expertise. But to be successful they must have community involvement. The health constituent must become involved in health and must remain in an advisory capacity to the county health society." Dr. Haughton also said : " -hospitals may soon be public utilities; " -in the future private hospitals will be more accountable to the public; " -lack of appropriate health planning makes for vacant hospital beds (rather than the emphasis on ambulatory care); "-PRSO's are coming because peer review has never worked, but PRSO's have stimulated local medical societies to take this responsibility; " -very often patients get well in spite of the doctor or the treatment; " -house calls are not a good utilization of a doctor's time. A nurse practitioner is adequate; " -a Federal proposal is under way to discontinue all scholarships to manpower programs in needy and poor communities. Loans to students would be substituted; " -HMO' s will not have significant appeal to those millions of people who feel that they are already adequately covered by the 'Blues'; " -parmedical and social workers and nurses can take on many responsibilities so doctors can become more sufficiently involved with their patients." Miss Marlene Bluestein, a second year medical student, headed the committee that hosted Dr. Haughton. Other committee members were John Tardino, Anthony Camilli, Alan Gewirtz and Glenn Rothfeld. The annual Harrington Lecture is sponsored by medical students and was created through the will of the late Dr. Deville W . Harrington, professor of genital and urinary diseases at the School of Medicine. ') FALL, 1974 53 A rap session with students, faculty �----- Our First Professor of Physiology and Medical Jurisprudence, Charles B. Coventry (1801-1875) by Oliver P. ]ones, Ph.D., M.D. ~ CHARLES B. COVENTRY, the fourth son of Dr. Alexander and Elizabeth Coventry, was born at Deerfield, near the present site of Utica, New York, 20 April1801. The elder Coventry was born in Hamilton, Scotland and attended medical lectures at Glasgow in 1783-84 and at Edinburgh in 1784-85. He came to this country in 1785 and finally settled at Utica where he practiced medicine until the time of his death in 1831. (Some of Dr. Alexander Coventry's private library is in the Health Sciences Library.) Because young Charles was sickly he spent several years confined to the house with his mother, who died when he was thirteen years old. He was too feeble to work much on the farm so that until he was sixteen years old his time was divided between a grammar school in Utica and his father's office. In 1817 his father formed a partnership with Dr. John McCall and young Coventry was relieved of his duties, most likely menial, at the office. He spent three summers on the farm and attended the English and classical schools in Utica during the winter. In 1820 he was hired as a teacher in the district school and later became an assistant in the classical school where he was known for his habits of industry. By 1822, his physical condition had improved so much that he entered his father's office as a student of medicine. Young Coventry attended lectures at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Western New York at Fairfield, Herkimer County and was graduated with the M.D. degree in 1825. Earlier that year, purulent ophthalmia (trachoma) had made its appearance in Western New York and Coventry made this the subject of his thesis which was subsequently published in the New York Medical and Physical Journal. The first paragraph reads - " Perhaps there is not in the animal economy any individual organ, with the exception of those immediately essential to life, which lays higher claim to the attention of the philosopher and surgeon, than that of vision." At that time, all medical students were required to write a thesis before graduating, but this is the only one written by a member of our first faculty which was subsequently published.

Shortly after graduation he was made a member of the Medical Society of Oneida County. On two occasions he served as Treasurer and Librarian for the Society and was its President in 1842 and subsequently that of the State Medical Society. He worked in his father ' s office until1828 when he was appointed to lecture on Materia Medica at the Berkshire Medical College, Pittsfield, Mass. The following year he was appointed to the chair of Obstetrics and Materia Medica which he held until 1832. It was there that he established himself as a conscientious and successful teacher. Also during that year, when epidemic cholera had already reached New York City, the Common Council of Utica sent Dr. Coventry there to investigate its nature and character and to report back to the Oneida County Medical Society. Coventry had personal experience with and interest in tuberculosis, hence it is understandable why he gave his presidential address in 1833 before the Kappa Alpha Phi Society at Fairfield on "Tubercular Phthisis" and nine years later on "Tuberculosis" before the Oneida County Medical Society. On the other hand, his interest in insanity must have been due to his observation that confinement of insane paupers in the county almshouse was inhumane. As early as 1834, Coventry introduced a series of resolutions before the County Medical Society which were unanimously adopted and passed on to the State Medical Society. In 1836, a memorial was sent to the State Legislature which established "An Act to Authorize the Establishment of the N.Y. State Lunatic Asylum." Coventry was one of the trustees appointed by Governor Seward and one of the committee to draw up the plans. Utica was selected for the site and it opened in 1843. The first building was only part of the asylum and three years later two additional wings were completed, thus doubling the accommodations (450-500). The definite object was to take the insane out of almshouses and provide for them in a well ordered hospital. This became the model for similar institutions throughout the United States, not only because of its location, ample FALL, 1974 55 �Class of 1934 at Spring Clinical Days Front Row: John V.

Coventry was married in the spring of 1829 and during that summer he had a severe bout of pulmonary hemorrhage. The disease was so persistent that he decided to test a change in climate by moving to New York City. He was there about one year when he returned to Utica because of his father's death in 1831 and after settling his father's estate, he decided to remain there. After repeated attacks of hemorrhage from his lungs, Dr. and Mrs. Coventry tried the effects of a sea voyage in January 1848. He had for many years been opposed to the treatment of tuberculosis by bleeding, emetics, sinapisms and closed rooms. Rather, he favored and practiced the treatment prescribed by Hippocrates over two thousand years ago - adequate diet, rest, exercise, sun and fresh air. According to Dr. Thomas ' obituary for Coventry, "His voyage had a favorable effect on his health, as there was no return of the hemorrhage after. " We now know from a medical student' s diary kept at Buffalo from 1848 to 1849, that this was not so. How many medical students had a professor cease lecturing because of hemoptysis- only to return to lecture five days later? The entire class did on 16 February 1849 according to the entry in the medical student's diary for that date .... Professor Coventry took up the function of reproduction. This morning's lecture was mostly preliminary and the Dr. took to bleeding from the lungs so that he did not lecture this afternoon .... The entry for 20 February 1849 says - Prof. Coventry again lectured on reproduction .... This is the last we know about his disease until the terminal illness twenty-six years later. Let us again enter the history of his academic career. 56 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �When the Medical Department of Geneva College was organized in 1834, Coventry was strongly urged to accept the chair of Materia Medica and Obstetrics. He finally consented to do so but on the condition that Dr. Willard Parker be given the chair of Anatomy and Physiology. They both started to teach there 10 February 1835. When the school was reorganized in 1840, Coventry became Professor of Obstetrics and Medical Jurisprudence. Dr. Parker subsequently occupied the principal chair of Surgery at the College of Physicians and Surgeons for thirty years. According to Commercial Advertiser for 26 August 1846, the University Council established seven professorships for the Medical Department and Dr. Coventry was made Professor of Physiology and Medical Jurisprudence. However, since Dr. James P. White had not had any teaching experience the Annual Circular for 1846 has the following footnote: By mutual arrangement between Professors White, Coventry, and Flint, the Chair of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children, for the ensuing year, will be filled by Prof. Coventry; and the Chair of Physiology and Medical Jurisprudence by Professors Flint and Coventry. However, the University of Buffalo reported to the Regents of the University of the State of New York in 1847 that a portion of the course was given by Professor White. The same report also mentions that Dr. Coventry received ten dollars from each student and Dr. White nothing. The next year, all of the professors received nine dollars for each student ticket with the exception of the Professor of Chemistry who received eleven dollars. Professor Coventry returned to his original assignment and delivered twenty lectures on Physiology and fourteen on Medical Jurisprudence over an eight week period. Front Row: John J.

Since five members of the faculty at Buffalo also held appointments at Geneva it is not surprising that for the sake of convenience, meetings were held at either place. The following entry in the Minute Book bears this out: 24 December 1847 At a meeting of the Faculty held at the room of Professor Coventry, Geneva. Present the following Members: - Drs. Coventry, Hamilton, Hadley and Flint. Dr. Hamilton submitted the following preamble and Resolution which were adopted: - Whereas it is known that the Asiatic Cholera has again made its appearance in Europe, and from the progress and direction, there is much reason to fear that it will soon revisit this country- and whereas, we deem it of the highest importance, that before it falls upon us we should be fully instructed in those modes of prevention and treatment which the latest experience has found most successful- thereforeResolved- that Professor Charles B. Coventry be and hereby is appointed a commissioner to visit Europe for the purpose of investigating the causes and ascertaining as far as possible, the best modes of Prevention and Treatment of the Asiatic Cholera and that he report the results of such investigation to the Faculty of this institution. The selection of Dr. Coventry for this task was a natural one because of his previous experience with the 1832 epidemic at Utica. He sailed from New York City 12 January 1848, reached Le Havre 7 February and immediately went to Paris. On the return trip he spent some time in London until the latter part of April. In July 1848 Coventry reported to the Medical Faculties of both schools which he subsequently published in the Buffalo Medical Journal and separately as a monograph. Less than a year later the first case of epidemic cholera was 58 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �reported to the Board of Health of Buffalo. Altogether there were 2,639 cases reported and 742 deaths. While Coventry was in Europe some of his book reviews were published as well as an article on "Stomatitis materna" in the Buffalo Medical Journal. He was a ready writer, not only on subjects connected with his profession, but often about the political condition and reform. When Coventry wrote his "Remarks on the self-reformation of the medical profession," public estimation of the medical profession was at a new low. It was not a lack of confidence in individual members of the profession but a want of confidence in the profession as such. For example, the variety of doctors in New York City exceeded those in all England. There were at that time at least fourteen different kinds. Coventry said: If the Legislature choose to open the doors and permit everyone to practice, we will not object, but if the credit of all their blunders, their vice and ignorance is to be visited on the profession, I, for one, should protest. Call them anything but doctors or, if they prefer this title, call us anything else. The bulk of the complaints about the system of medical education was directed towards the medical colleges. Coventry went on to say, " If you send dolts, you can hardly expect them to come out scientific and intelligent practitioners. It would be asking rather too much of the schools to expect them to furnish their pupils with brains, as well as instruction." He had these areas of reformation in mind, viz., that in the practice of medicine, in medical education and in the general polity and conduct of the profession itself. Some of his concluding remarks were: If the private practitioners would admit into their offices, or send to the schools, none but those who, by previous education, mental discipline, and habits of application, was qualified for the study of the profession, they would find much less cause to complain of the schools.

Dr. Coventry had an extensive family practice in Utica which was interrupted each year for at least two eight week periods when he taught first at Geneva and then at Buffalo. These interruptions became so serious that he tendered his resignation to the University of Buffalo in April 1851. At the Medical Faculty meeting on 23 May 1851, Professor Coventry was nominated as Emeritus Professor - the first one to be awarded by the university. His connections with the Medical Faculty did not cease at that time because the Minute Book has two entries to substantiate this. On 15 February 1860 he wrote a letter about the possibility of giving some lectures on physiology and on 21 June 1860 he made an application to give some lectures on blood. Both of these were recorded and ordered to be placed on file. The Annual Announcements for 1860 and 1861 do not mention that his offer was ever accepted. After the death in 1849 of Dr. Amariah Brigham, the first superintendent of the Lunatic Asylum at Utica, Dr. Coventry was appointed to fill the vacancy until a successor could be appointed by the Board of Trustees. When he took foster care of the institution he had already visited asylums here and abroad, hence when he learned that an entire stranger to the board had been appointed, he resigned. Coventry was too frank and honest to seek the appointment by means many men would have used. He made no complaint himself but his friends thought that mere courtesy should have dictated his selection as Medical Superintendent because he had so successfully executed the asylum's design from the beginning. From 1851 to 1859 he was unceasing in his great devotion to the cause of humanity. This culminated in his introduction of a resolution asking the State Medical Society for an appointment by the Legislature 60 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �of a commissioner of lunacy who should have the power to examine the management of institutions for the insane in the State. Coventry was appointed chairman of the committee to frame such a bill. For three successive years he was thwarted in his efforts to have it adopted for want of support and opposition by those with vested interests. The project which Coventry originated was accepted eventually as a much needed improvement. Many years later a famous Buffalo alumnus, Dr. Frederick Peterson, was President of the Lunacy Commission of New York State (1901-04). His duty consisted of visiting thirty-eight mental hospitals at least once a year. In the spring of 1829, Dr. Coventry married the eldest daughter of Judge Butler, Stuyvesant, N.Y. Of their eight children, two daughters died at an early age; Walter, a young physician died of tuberculosis in 1865 and the older brother died of Bright's disease in 1872. A month before his death, Dr. Coventry complained of a soreness in the thigh which had been the seat of disease in his youth. (Probably a psoas abscess of long duration following tuberculous spondylitis.) After the abscess drained and healed, Dr. Coventry was too feeble to recover. He died on 24 February 1875 and was survived by his wife and four daughters. His religious affiliation was with the Protestant Episcopal Church. References 1.

AI Benso n, a second year medical student, observes the procedure. He is a representative on Sub-Board I. A student initiated clinical lab is the newest addition to the University Health Service in Michael Hall. The new Sub-Board Clinical Lab tests hemoglobin, red and white blood count, hematocrit, urinalysis, pregnancy, mono, glucose, bilirubin, and differential white count. On~ of the goals of the new lab is more effective and efficient health care 0 students. In the past all testing was done at private labs in Buffalo. f Directing the lab is Dr. John Fopeano, professor and chairman medical technology in the School of Health Related Professions at the University. The chief technologist in the lab is Marcia Underwood, a 1973 med. tech. graduate. Special consultants are Drs. Chester A Glomski, associate professor of anatomical sciences, and Roger K. Cunningham, associate professor of microbiology. d The new facility is a cooperative venture involving students an faculty in the medical technology department, University Heal~h Serd vices, and Sub-Board I. Sub-Board I donated $25,000 for salanes an equipment for the new lab. Hopefully the lab will be self supporting by the end of the year. " We are doing about 50 tests a week and hope to double this in the near future, " Dr. M . Luther Musselman said. He is the assistant director of the University Health Services. The new facility is being used for teaching both medical and medical technology students, according to Dr. Fopeano. Five medical students (third and fourth year) will spend some time in the lab during their rotation in the University Health Service. This is one of five electives for medical technology students. " One-fourth of our students (about 10 a year) will spend three weeks in the lab." Two other University students are involved in the new lab. Mr. Albert Campagna, a medical sociology graduate student, is the director for health programs for Sub-Board 1, and Mr. Richard Hockman, a senior business major, is division manager for the Sub-Board Health Care Division.

Sanes giving his final lecture upon retirement from the School of Medi cine in 1971. A Physician Faces Disseminated Reticulum Cell Sarcoma 1n Himself By Samuel Sanes, M.D. 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The pathologist didn't hedge as he had in the hospital the day before, after examining the frozen sections. ' 'I've seen your paraffin sections," he told me. "You have a malignant lymphoma, of the mixed cell or reticulum cell sarcoma type." "That's it . . . that's the end," I thought. And then, aloud, "Maybe I'll not make my next birthday." The pathologist, a former student of mine and a colleague and friend of 31 years, had volunteered to be the one among my physicians to tell me. He had come to my home after work. Perhaps he thought it would be easier for me to hear the news from him. He made a couple of attempts to console me, but didn't raise any false hopes. His eyes seemed to say compassionately, "Poor son-of-abitch. " He stayed a few minutes, then excused himself. His wife, he told me, was waiting dinner. They had guests. My wife had gone out briefly on an errand. Since yesterday she had been clinging wishfully to the pathologist's impression from the frozen sections that "nonspecific inflammatory hyperplasia" was a possible diagnosis. She would be coming home soon. I would have to tell her the final verdict. *** I had found the first small lump, about the size of a lima bean, while bathing. It was on the left side of my chest, posterior to the left ax- illa. Nervously I palpated the rest of my body. I found a smaller lump in the mid-pubic region, and another in the postero-lateral aspect of the upper part of the right arm. All were superficial, discrete, moveable. The lumps on the left side of the chest and in the mid-pubic region were firm; that in the right upper arm resilient. The only palpable lymph nodes were located in both inguinal regions. They were small, the right slightly larger than the left. Physicians whom I consulted minimized the possibility of malignant tumor. Along with the physical findings, the sites were unlikely ones. At my insistence, however, they agreed to biopsy the lesion on the left side of my chest. There was no point, they maintained, in biopsying the other lumps. After the biopsy and the diagnosis of reticulum cell sarcoma I had a complete diagnostic workup - from urinalysis and blood count to lymphangiograms and a total body gallium scan. The scan showed involvement of mediastinal lymph nodes. Ten months later, after needle aspiration proved suggestive, a second biopsy, of the mid-pubic lump, which had not increased in size, confirmed reticulum cell sarcoma there too. Needle aspirations of the right inguinal nodes were negative. * * * I had retired at 65 from the practice and teaching of pathology. Since I was entering a new phase of my life, I thought it advisable to have a thorough physical checkup. Until then I had been in what I judged acceptable health. Although I felt some fatigue at the end of the day's work, I told myself that thi(j--SUMMER 1974 3 Or. Sanes retired as Professor of Pathology in the UB School of Medicine in June, 1971, after 40 years of teaching. This is the first in a series of articles by Or. Sanes. �was normal with increasing age. My internist had diagnosed a pain in my left shoulder and arm, which was not incapacitating, as due to arthritis of the cervical spine. The physical examination that I underwent in the fall of 1971 was a thorough one, from scalp to soles. It included X-ray studies of my chest, GI and GU tracts, bones and joints, an electrocardiogram, laboratory tests focused on my blood, heart, arteries, kidneys and liver. The examining physician gave me a clean bill of health except for the previously detected cervical arthritis, for which he prescribed no specific treatment. He advised me to go ahead with the plans I had made for retirement. I could do anything, he said. Now, 17 months later, in February, 1973, I had a definitive diagnosis of disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma. ** * Scar at site of original biopsy (Feb., 1973) posterior to left axilla. Loss of axillary hair following radiation therapy. Someone has said that cancer is a lonely disease. It is especially so if the victim is a physician, above all if he is a pathologist whose outlook is influenced by the destructive and fatal results of the disease as he has seen them at autopsy. No one who hasn' t faced cancer in himself can truly imagine what a cancer patient is experiencing. Even those closest to the patient, who love him, can only sympathize. They can' t empathize. The patient feels that empathy with other cancer patients, particularly those with the same type and stage of cancer as his. But even with them he is alone. In the last analysis, the question of his own wellbeing and survival is instinctively of primary concern. Individual reactions toward disease and death spring from individual minds and hearts. They depend on various factors in one's personal life situation, character and personality, social and cultural background, what one knows about his disease. How one meets a diagnosis of cancer is also related to his age at the time the disease is diagnosed, occupation, family, financial status, philosophical and religious beliefs. The type and extent of the cancer, the attitudes of the attending physicians, the kind and efficacy of treatment, are of fundamental importance. Take patients with three different types of cancer*Squamous cell carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix. *Mature adenocarcinoma of the recto-sigmoid, showing superficial invasion of the bowel wall and microscopic metastases to regional nodes. *Disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma. Each will have an altogether different outlook to his disease if he understands the pathologic and therapeutic significance of the diagnosis. But even when the pathologic diagnosis, mcluding distribution and histologic grade, and the treatment are the same, no two patients react in exactly the same way. Suppose a 65-year-old steel worker and a 29-year-old dentist are both told that they have disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma. The steel-worker's wife is dead, his children grown and married. He can retire and live comfortably on his pension and social security. He has adequate health insurance. He has a firm faith in his religion and its promise of an after-life. 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �According to vital statistics, he knows that his life expectancy is running out anyway. 'Til be happy to settle for five years, " he confesses. The dentist has just started in practice after a residency in orthodontics. He is in debt. His life and disability insurance portfolio has not been completed. He does have Social Security credit. He and his wife are the parents of three children under six years of age. He remembers just enough from his sophomore course in General Pathology to view his diseaSE! in its darkest aspects. He is skeptical about all religion and has no faith at all in a life after death. Before his diagnosis, the life expectancy tables had told him that the average healthy man of his age had 40 to 45 years to live. Despite the disease that they have in common, each patient will face his reticulum cell sarcoma, and the future, alone- on the basis of his individual human situation. * * * The cancer patient has not only a medical problem but a semantic one. Medically cancer means a particular lesion in a particular person at a particular time and place. Semantically, however, the word "cancer" signifies more than it denotes medically. It carries terrifying connotations accumulated over the centuries when it was practically 100% untreatable, incurable, fatal. "We should discard the term 'cancer'," an old general practitioner once told me. " We could make progress in clinical management and save time and money in public education if we called the disease a name free of the old connotations, reflective of current accomplishments and future hopes. " He pointed out the value, in his own time, of the replacements in medical and public usage of the term "consumption" by "tuberculosis." Test yourself by playing a word-association game. Is your spontaneous response to " Wilms' tumor" as negative as that to " cancer of the kidney. " Yet the actual lesion referred to, regardless of its name, is a curable one today. * * * The first three months after my diagnosis of reticulum cell sarcoma were the hardest for me, as so111e other patients say they were for them. They were devoted largely to treatment, follow-up examinations and resting at home. I chose treatment and followup in a cancer institute, a national center for lymphoma-leukemia. My internist received regular reports from the institute. After my diagnostic workup, my physicians prescribed 4 Vz weeks of daily supervoltage mantle radiation. They also put me on an experimental program of immunotherapy with periodic intradermal BCG vaccination. In late November, after a positive biopsy report on the second lump in the mid-pubic region, chemotherapy was prescribed. Following two intravenous injections of vincristine, I went on a daily maintenance dose of 150 milligrams of cytoxan.

I was active all day, met the normal social obligations, traveled. Except for inflammation at the site of injection, I had no noticeable untoward reactions to the BCG vaccine. Radiation was a different story. During those first three months, my physical problems all seemed traceable to the radiation treatment rather than any underlying disease. I lost the hair in the posterior portion of my scalp and my beard in the submaxillary and anterior cervical areas. I experienced loss and perversion of my sense of taste, and my appetite diminished. I was nauseated fairly constantly. My mouth was dry and pharyngitis made it painful to swallow. The skin in my axillae moistened and desquamated. I lost 15 pounds of weight. My hematocrit, white blood cell and platelet counts, which were checked three times a week, dropped. I experienced fatigue that limited my performance of daily activities. In June I developed shingles, with fever of 101-102. Later in the summer I suffered symptoms in my left shoulder, arm and hand which were interpreted as a possible variant of Lhermite syndrome. Or. Sanes took a 1974 winter vacation in Guadalajara, Mexico. The physician, Or. Daniel Camacho, who looked after him there had been a resident at Buffalo's Roswell Park Memorial Institute in 1970-71 on a lymphoma-leukemia service. During that same time Or. Camacho's wife had been a resident in pediatrics at the Edward]. Meyer Memorial Hospital. It's a small world. From my own experience, and from observing fellow patients, have learned much about the problems that confront the patient with disseminated lymphoma. (Problems, of course, vary in number, kind and degree with different patients.) The disease and its treatment will be a monkey on the patient's back for the rest of his life. It is potentially fatal. Survival is a matter of general percentages. No one can give a 100% guarantee of cure. The patient may live months, or many years. He now observes two birthdays - the most important being the anniversary of his diagnosis, marking the years of survival. The disease is chronic. There are all sorts of possible manifestations and complications. To the healthy person, even if he is no longer young, the future seems infinite. With a diagnosis of disseminated lymphoma, a curtain drops across it. Life becomes a matter of day-to-day planning. Goals are short-term ones, scaled down, limited. Looking back is more tempting than looking forward. Treatment whether radiation, chemotherapy or immunotherapy, can have side effects that are more disfiguring, discomforting and dangerous than the disease itself. Measures adopted to prevent and counteract these side effects may cause side effects of their own. Follow-up visits to his physicians, the hospital or cancer institute may be scheduled daily, then weekly or biweekly. A longer 6pan becomes a welcome reprieve. There is gratitude for a remission and despair over a relapse or resistance to further therapy. Personal and interpersonal strains and stresses are numerous. The ambulatory patient may be dependent on others, usually relatives, for transportation to and from the place of treatment. The homebound patient may be dependent upon his family for more intimate types of care. 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �If the patient is unable to keep a steady job, because of the disease itself, the effects of treatment or the schedule of treatment and checkups, he may feel that he no longer has a purpose in life. To the university student, in whom lymphoma-leukemia is the most frequent cancer, the disease can mean the interruption, or the end, of his studies and his career. Many patients have to curtail social, recreational, organizational and community activities. Retirement or change to a less demanding job will mean financial problems for many patients. Medical and hospital care doesn' t come cheap to the person or family who must pay all or a major portion of the charges. And the costs can rise even higher if a patient has to go out of town for treatment and pay for transportation and room and board in a hotel, motel or rooming house. The person with disseminated lymphoma takes on a new occupation, that of patient. He can never retire from it and cannot escape, even when on vacation. Before taking a trip he may have to arrange to see a physician or physicians at intervals during his absence from home. His itinerary or vacation spot will be determined by the availability and accessibility of medical and laboratory facilities. He will need regular physical checkups, blood counts, X-ray films. Perhaps, depending on the results, his treatment will have to be modified. The patient who is on drug therapy takes his drugs with him. His carry-on flight bag is a portable pharmacy. With his passport and tourist visa he carries a letter from his physician describing his disease and bearing diagnostic and therapeutic instructions for the physicians who will look after him while he is away from home. He may have to produce that letter for customs officials who ask " Are you carrying any drugs?" * * * Along with physical death, the patient with disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma faces social death, death as an active, contributing, accepted member of society. The latter may seem much the worse fate to him. In the first three months after my diagnosis, while my physicians and I sought to ward off physical death by treatment, I also fought the mental and emotional battle against social death. My weapons were what I came to think of as the " three A 's" acceptance of my disease, adjustment to it, and assurance - the latter dependent on the attention, notice, understanding and sympathy of others. Most patients accept the diagnosis of malignant lymphoma by biopsy without question. A rare patient may never accept it, denying his disease to the point of disregarding the prognosis and refusing treatment. A certain number of patients delay acceptance of the diagnosis until they get an additional opinion on the microscopic changes. They are aware of the kind of treatment and prognosis involved in a diagnosis of malignant lymphoma and of the possibility of diagnostic error. (Witness the various lesions classified as " pseudo lymphomas."b-SUMMER 1974 7 / ... __ ... / / '' ' ' Mantle f ield-radiation therapy; 6 mev linear accelerator. �It is not easy even for a pathologist who trusts the professional expertise of his colleagues to accept such a diagnosis. In my own case, I asked the pathologist who first read the slides to have other pathologists look at them. I was sure that as a friend and colleague of many years he would feel better about sharing the responsibility. Even when the other pathologists concurred fully in his findings, I didn' t feel altogether comfortable until I had microscopically examined the slides myself. * * * Inflammation at site of intradermal injection two weeks after BCG vaccine, left upper arm; old smallpox vaccination scar superior to inflamed area. Successful adjustment to the fact that one has disseminated lymphoma doesn't come automatically with the acceptance of the diagnosis and its implications. A fellow patient in his 20's demonstrated this vividly during two successive visits to the lymphoma-leukemia clinic. On his first visit he was obviously anxious and agitated. Sitting next to him was a calm, poised, healthy-looking girl, also in her 20's. She told him that she was waiting for a follow-up examination for lymphoma, diagnosed four years earlier. "Four years- that's good!" the young fellow exclaimed. "The doctor told me just last week that I have cancer of the lymph nodes. I can hardly believe it. I'm awfully scared." A week later the same patient was asked by the clinic physician who had seen him originally, and explained cancer of the lymph nodes (Hodgkin's Disease) to him: "How are you today?" " WelL" the patient responded, ''I'm now accepting the fact that I have cancer. But I'm still awfully scared. " * * * The physical battle against disseminated lymphoma consists of following the prescribed regimen, with whatever discomforts or limitations it implies. It is a simple and straightforward conflict. Not so the mental and emotional struggle. Some patients with disseminated lymphoma may adjust to their disease, mentally and emotionally, as other patients do to duodenal ulcer or diverticulosis of the colon. They must be few. For the average patient, lymphoma is the most serious crisis he has ever had to go through. He must combat a host of fearful thoughts and feelings. These include uncertainty, inadequacy, isolation, recognition of his mortality, guilt, anxiety, depression, withdrawal, even, for some, the temptation of suicide. Each must find for himself the weapons that are most effective. How rapidly and successfully he routs the enemy depends on the factors I have previously mentioned - the strengths and weaknesses of his own personality, his philosophical and religious attitudes towards life and death, the support he receives from family, friends, professional colleagues and co-workers, fellow cancer patients. If he still needs help, there are trained professionals to whom he can turn - his own physicians, nurses, social workers, clergymen and, if need be, psychiatrists. 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �It is not an easy battle. But victory on the mental and emotional front, when and if achieved, can be even more satisfying than winning the physical fight. Life has a way of setting a man back on his heels. Throughout my adult life I had imagined how I would face and cope with a final illness, such as cancer, when it came. For more than 25 years I had been a public education speaker for my county and state cancer societies. During those years I had talked to thousands of healthy men, women and children about how to meet cancer in themselves or their families. For ten years, as chairman of a hospital tumor clinic, I had counseled patients with all types and stages of cancer. Yet now that I had to cope with the reality of disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma in myself I was like the actor who is seized with stage fright on opening night. After weeks of rehearsals, his role letter and gesture perfect, he is seemingly prepared for any contingency. Then, in the face of a critical first night audience, he panics. The actor conquers his fears in a few seconds and goes on serenely, in reflex to his preparation. That was not true for me. In past mental and emotional crises, less serious to be true, I had relied on reason for my weapon and had not been disappointed. In this new crisis, reason failed to allay and dispel my fearful thoughts and feelings with the speed with which an antibiotic inhibits and destroys pathogenic bacteria. I became increasingly self-preoccupied. My fears were not so much for my life but for the loss of all that had made life worthwhile and enjoyable - useful work, multiple interests, professional and personal relations. " Why can' t I adjust?" I asked myself over and over again. " Why doesn' t reason conquer this problem as quickly and effectively as it has conquered others for me? Why do the worries that I think I have put aside during the daytime, the fears that I think I have overcome, still keep me awake at night or stalk me in my dreams?" A fellow patient in her SO's who also has disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma provided me with the insight I should have possessed as a physician. " It's not easy," she consoled me. " I always prided myself on being able to accept things and adjust to them. But no amount of reasoning seemed to help me when I first had to adjust to the reality that I had cancer. I was shattered. I went through a nightmare. It takes reason and determination - but it also takes time." My battle, like hers, was won with time. Time, I found, is not only a medium in which reason can neutralize the potency of fears. It also, in itself, acts as a diluent. As I approached the end of the first three months after my diagnosis, my thinking and feeling became more positive. I sought for optimism justified by available scientific data and experience - and for hope founded on a reasonable projection of that data and experience into the future . On that basis I made realistic deductions regarding possible remission and survival. SUMMER 197 4 9 S ites 4-8 mon ths after intradermal injectio n of BCG vaccine in rig ht upper arm. �Chemotherapy. Cytoxan (cyclophosphamide) tablets by mouth. Dose, 150-50 mgs. daily, depending on white blood cell count. Stoppage of drug with WBC below 2000 per cu. mm . I didn' t look for headline breakthroughs or miracles, but I left an opening for the unexpected. I recalled that the application of nitrogen mustard against lymphoma came from an accidental discovery during World War II. Without becoming a Pollyanna, I ceased being a Gloomy Gus. I determined to continue living and enduring, to make the best of life within the limits imposed by my disease, to fulfill, as far as I could, my personal and social roles. Retirement, I learned, had many advantages for me in coping with my disease mentally and emotionally. I had already changed my way of life from a rigidly scheduled work orientation to a more relaxed program. I could continue that at my own time and pace. The patient with disseminated lymphoma can never forget his disease, but he need not let it take over all aspects of his life. As he adjusts to life with its limitations - through reason and determination or, as many do, through faith and prayer- he also adjusts to death. * * * Or. Sanes' hospitalization for disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma has been minimal. Up to now 1 Y2 years after the discovery of the first lump, he has had only three "overnight" stays in the hospitals- twice for the biopsies of the left chest and mid-pubic lumps and once for observation following a lymphangiogram. Otherwise he has received all diagnostic examinations, medical, X- ray and laboratory follow-ups, needle aspirations of nodes and therapy as an ambulatory outpatient. No matter how self-sufficient he may have been before his disease was diagnosed, the patient with disseminated lymphoma can' t win the battle alone. He needs to feel that despite the fact that he has cancer- and the changes cancer makes in his life - he is still part of the world of the living, recognized, appreciated and loved. In ordinary social contacts I have never been considered a " hale fellow well-met." Some persons, I am sure, have looked on me as a loner, despite my full life in professional, orgnizational and community activities. During previous benign, self-limited illnesses I remained selfsufficient enough to think that " He suffers best who suffers alone. " But in adjusting to disseminated reticulum cell sarcoma, particularly during those first three months, I found that the opposite is true. "When you go through the desert, it is much better to have someone with you. " Like most cancer sufferers, I needed the assurance of others. I wanted desperately to be remembered by family, friends, professional colleagues and co-workers. A fellow cancer patient in her 60's expressed it for me. She had arrived at the cancer institute after a 200-mile automobile trip, gone through the admissions procedure and was waiting in her wheelchair to be taken to the ward . Pale, weary from the journey, her abdomen distended from her disease, she reached out to touch the arm of one of her family who had accompanied her and was now leaving for home. " Please," she begged, "don' t forget me." O 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Hard work during a series of conferences held over a six month period in Warsaw and Amsterdam has yielded a " how to" manual on immunofluorescent tests for a wide group of skin diseases. The manual has been prepared by Dr. Ernst Beutner, professor of microbiology and director of the immunofluorescent testing services at the Medical School. Dr. Beutner's manual has been reviewed and approved by a team of experts in the field at several conferences. One conference, held in Warsaw, Poland, Dec. 17-18, was organized by Dr. Beutner, hosted by Professor Stephanie Jablonska and chaired by Cleveland's Dr. Beno Michel. It was held in the 18th century Jablonna Palace that is located in suburban Warsaw. Other attendees were Houston 's Dr. Samuel F. Bean; Vienna's Dr. Karl Holubar; Leiden, The Netherland's Dr. Johan Ploem; Glasgow's Dr. N .K. Saikia, and Warsaw's Drs. Tadeusz Chorzelski and Maria Blaszyk. Over the two-day period a bulletin was completed for clinical dermatologists who will use immunofluorescent (IF) methods to diagnose chronic bullous diseases, and connective tissue diseases on how, when, and where skin specimens and/ or blood samples should be obtained for laboratory examination as well as interpretation of results from such studies. At a followup conference held in Amsterdam, Holland Dec. 20, Dr. Rudi Cormane who was unable to attend the first, was host for Drs. Beno Michel and Samuel Bean. Here, complete agreement was reached on all points of the bulletin. Preceding these conferences was extensive review as well as editing of a draft of the bulletin by all conferees including Denver' s Dr. Mitchell Sams; Lyon, France's Dr. Jean Thivolet; Pavia, Italy' s Dr. A. Gianetti; and San Francisco' s Dr. T . Tuffanelli and M .V. Dahl as well as Utrecht's Drs. ].B. van der Meer and Bart de Ia Faille-Kyper; Munich's Dr. D.

Specifically to his grandmother " for the high standards, compassion, courage and strength of her convictions. " To his mother and father " for guiding me into intellectual pursuits without my compromising grass-roots faith and principles." To Professor Ernest Swain of Wilmington, N .C. " for introducing me to Morehouse College and to Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, one of the nation's leading black educators." To his wife and children " for their endurance, sacrifice and understanding.

" After completing my internship and residency at Deaconess I hope to get a one-year fellowship to become a gynecologic endocrinologist. I want to be a very good clinician, but I want to teach. And I will try to work in some research too," Dr. Freeman said. 0 Hypertension Education The Lakes Area Regional Medical Program is sponsoring a massive informational educational project on hypertension in Erie County. The goal is to reach 100,000 people. " We want to make the public aware of the potential dangers of untreated hypertension," Dr. John R.F. Ingall, LARMP director said. Mrs. Eleanor Walker is coordinating the program. Offices are at 1490 Jefferson Avenue Center and the Jesse Nash Community Health Center, 215 Broadway. Dr. William Mosher, County Health Commissioner, said that in addition to the department's weekly screening program in the Rath Building, the blood pressure test will be added to its mobile diabetes units. These units reach about 10,000 persons a year. LARMP is working with the Heart Association and the Erie County Health Department in the inner city. The Upstate Medical Alliance, a group of black health professionals, is assisting in the educational effort. 0 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �There are 74 women among the 270 first and second year medical students. In 1967 there were only five women in the first year class. There are 37 women in the third and fourth year classes. Dr. M. Luther Musselman, medical admissions chairman, insists there has been no special effort to recruit or even to admit women. All applicants are judged as persons, but many more qualified women are applying today. "The women are achieving very well," Dr. Musselman says, " at least as well as men." Although many of the women are married, none has quit for maternity. One member of the class that entered in September 1972, was out about a week that fall to give birth to her first child. She has been back with her class ever since. Most women believe they can manage horne, family and a practice. O Forensic Pathologist E ie County's chief medical examiner is a clinical associate professor of pathology at the Medical School. Dr. Judith M. Lehotay was the second woman in the United States to qualify as a forensic pathologist. She passed her board examination in forensic pathology in 1970, and last year was named a Fellow of the American Forensic Pathologists Association. Dr. Lehotay wants to see vigorous programs to combat alcohol abuse in the schools and gives lectures in area colleges and universities on " everything you always wanted to know about forensic pathology but were afraid to ask." In 1957, after the Hungarian uprising, Dr. Lehotay, her husband, Attila, and her 18-rnonth old son, Adam, escaped to Austria. Six months later the family was in Buffalo, after a refugee group arranged for the trip. "The Hungarian community and Buffalo were good to us, " she said. Her first introduction to the Buffalo medical community carne six weeks after arriving in Buffalo. She was hospitalized with a slipped disk at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital for three months and again for five months when she underwent spinal fusion. During the interval between her two hospitalizations for her back problems her daughter, Veronica, was born. Dr. Lehotay took advantage of her extended confinement and learned to speak English. " I think I wore out five roommates. My doctor wanted to put me in a private room because he said I would be very sick but I insisted on having a roommate to help me learn English. We would practice and go through dictionaries and Agatha Christie mysteries. " Although Dr. Lehotay had practiced medicine in Hungary she had to take the examination for foreign medical school graduates and repeat her residency to qualify to practice in the United States. She took her residency training in pathology at Sisters and Children's Ho~pitals, and she also worked as a research pathologist at the UB Medical School. In 1966 she was named as assistant pathologist at the Meyer Hospital. She took a year' s leave in 1969-70 to train in forensic pathology in New York City under Dr. Milton Halpern, chief of that city's medical examiner's office. 0 SUMMER 1974 111 Women in Medical Classes �Or.

A typical beach scen e. �Our First Professor of Pathology, Materia Medica Charles Alfred Lee (1801-1872) by Oliver P. ]ones, Ph .D., M.D . Distinguished Professor Charles Alfred Lee was born in Salisbury, Connecticut, 3 March 1801, the son of Samuel and Elizabeth Brown Lee. His paternal ancestors in collateral descent were related to colonial Governor Bradford. Much of young Lee's boyhood was spent with his uncle, Elisha Lee, Esq. , in Sheffield, Massachusetts where he prepared for college at Lenox Academy. He attended Williams College with the thought of entering the Congregational ministry. While there he was noted for his great industry, systematic study habits, strict performance of duties and irreproachable morals. He received the A.M. degree in 1822 with honorable distinction. However, his health was so poor, medical advisers pursuaded him to forego the ministry and study medicine- " a vocation better calculated to improve his constitution. " Lee commenced the study of medicine in the office of his brotherin-law and he attended two lecture terms at Berkshire Medical College, Pittsfield, Massachusetts where he was demonstrator of anatomy during the winter session and instructor of botany in the summer. He graduated in 1825 and practiced in Salisbury until he left for New York City in 1827. On 28 June 1828, he married Hester Ann Mildeberge of that city, by whom he had nine children - only three sons survived. When the Northern Dispensary of New York City was established, Dr. Lee and Dr. James Stewart were among the most active promotors. Together they prescribed for, and attended more than four thousand patients annually - making this one of the most useful of the many public charitable institutions of the city. In 1832, during the first epidemic of Asiatic cholera, Dr. Lee was appointed physician to the Greenwich Cholera Hospital and also attending-physician to the New York Orphan Asylum. During the epidemic he treated nearly one thousand cases of cholera. Dr. Lee wrote extensively on a great variety of medical and scientific subjects. His Human Physiology for the Use of Elementary Schools went through eleven editions from 1838 to 1847. In 1840 he founded the New York Journal of Medicine and Collateral Sciences and was editor until 1848. From 1834 to 1859 he undertook, single-handed, the editing with additions of Copland's Dictionary of Practical Medicine. During this period, Dr. Lee brought out in 1845 an edition of Guy 's Principles of Forensic Medicine; Thomson's Conspectus of the Pharmacopoeias of London, Edinburgh and Dublin Colleges of Physicians (1845 to 1862); he supervised and revised an edition of Paris' Pharmacologia, or the Th eory and Art of Prescribing (1844) and his own Catalogue of the Medicinal Plants, Indigenous and Exotic, Growing in the State of New York (1848). Dr. Lee had a herbarium of 1500 plant species. His writings on hygiene, the laws of health, temperance and the influence of alcohol on the human body were commenced when he was 27 years old and continued through various channels all his life. In 1840 he edited and annotated Grindrod's Bacchus, an Essay on the Nature, Cause, Effects and Cures of Intemperance. Lee's pen had won him an enviable reputation before he received his first academic appointment. In 1844, Geneva Medical College appointed him to the Chair of Materia Medica and General Pathology. Previous to this he helped organize the medical department of New York University. However, he declined the Chair of Materia Medica and Therapeutics before the institution was operational. 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Lee was very much concerned about the motivation for the study of medicine. In his Introductory Discourse on Medical Education at Geneva he said: Gentlemen: It becomes you to scrutinize well your motives in entering upon the study of medicine, and see whether they are such as well stand the test of a candid examination .. . There is reason to suppose that some engage in the study of medicine because they believe it will afford an easier mode of support than agriculture of the mechanic arts. . . Again, some turn their attention to the medical profession because they are unfitted for everything else. In the open competition of the bar they could not for a moment expect to succeed, for here imbecility and stupidity become as apparent as the sun at noon-day. In the pulpit concealment would be almost as difficult; they can here hope to pass for no more than they are really worth; counterfeit coin is soon detected and stamped as base. And so they turn their attention to medicine, where deception and cunning can better supply the place of talent and learning. . . Many years later, the first president of the Johns Hopkins University, Daniel Coint Gilman, paraphrased this in his address to the students . Lee' s professorial duties at that time required him to be absent from home only eight weeks annually which afforded him the necessary relaxation from an active practice in New York City. In 1846, while he was Dean of the Faculty, he demonstrated his liberality and independence of thought by admitting Miss Elizabeth Blackwell, as a regular medical student, knowing full well that this would evoke criticism unfriendly to Geneva College and himself. Dr. Blackwell was the first woman in the United States to receive the M.D . degree. The United States issued a stamp (January 1974) to commemorate the 125th anniversary of her graduation. The Council of the University of Buffalo met on 25 August 1846 and decided to organize the Medical Department. Seven professorships were established and Dr. Lee was appointed to the Chair of Pathology and Materia Medica. He held this dual appointment until 25 April1856 when he resigned from general pathology but continued to teach Materia Medica until 25 April 1871 when the medical faculty elected him Emeritus Professor of Materia Medica and Hygiene. It is interesting to note that he latinized his name - Carolus Alfredus - when he signed diplomas. In 1847 he also lectured at Starling Medical College, Columbus, Ohio and Brunswick (Maine) Medical College. The intervals between lecture terms were spent mostly in traveling. For example, one summer was spent exploring the copper regions of Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron. His interest in mineralogy and geology commenced during his boyhood in his home surroundings. The summer and fall of 1849 were spent in traveling through Great Britain and Continental Europe where he visited the most noted hospitals and public institutions. (On 27 November 1849 the M edical Faculty resolved to make alternate plans should Dr. Lee not return from Europe.) He was particularly interested in the management of institutions for the insane and later (1866) wrote On the Provision for the Insane Poor of The State of New York and the Adaptation of the "Asylum and Cottage Plan" to Their Wants as Illustrated by the History of the Colony of Fitz ]ames at Clermont, France. d-- SUMM ER 1974 19 CORRECTION The story about Or. Elizabeth Blackwell, first woman medical graduate (Vol. 8 No. 1), should have read: ]ames Webster, who was among the first faculty at Buffalo and also taught at Geneva College, informed Miss Blackwell of her acceptance there. Professor Webster was the "fat little fairy in the shape of the professor of anatomy, blunt in manner and very voluble who in early November 1847 shook Elizabeth Blackwell by the hand and said her plan was a capital one. You'll make a stir I can tell you." Or. Blackwell graduated from Geneva College January, 1849. (reported in Buffalo Physician, val. 7, no. 2, Or. O.P. ]ones, distinguished professor of anatomy, in "Our First Anatomy Professor: ]ames Webster" ). 0 �It was "happy 72nd birthday" to Or. W. Yerby ]ones, M'24 at the Park Lane in February from the Medical Alumni Association. Dr. ]ones is a clinical professor emeritus of ophthalmology. Or. ]ones is standing between Drs. John O'Brien, M'41, and Paul Weinmann, M'54. Standing: Drs. Milford Maloney, M'53, Lawrence Golden, M'46, George Fugitt ]r., M '45, Michael Sullivan, M'53, Richard Berkson, M '72, and Edmond Gicewicz, M'56. After 1850, Dr. Lee was truly a peripatetic professor who taught Therapeutics and Materia Medica; General Pathology; Obstetrics and Diseases of Females; Hygiene and Medical Jurisprudence. In addition to the schools mentioned previously he also taught at the University of the City of New York, Vermont Medical College at Woodstock and Berkshire Medical School, Pittsfield, Massachusetts. In 1851, Drs. Lee, Flint and Coventry investigated the Roch es ter Knockings, purported to be spiritual in origin. These rappings were not confined to Rochester but accompanied the Fox sisters (one seventeen years old and the other, a widow, thirty-five years old) Anatomical and physiological inquiry revealed these sounds could be produced at the knee joint (articular}, the ankle (peroneus longus tendon) and the toes. According to Dr. Bryan, Lee later because a convert to the doctrine of spiritual rappings and felt indignant with his friends who did not subscribe to it. We now know from a medical student's diary kept at Buffalo from 1848 to 1849, Lee was considered . . . greatest of all the professors . .. and worthy of our hearts best and warmest emotions .. . And Dr. Toner had this to say in an obituary- The character of Dr. Lee's mind, and range of studies that engaged his attention, entitle him to be ranked with a class of medical men, never numerous in any country, such as Rush, Mitchell, Hosack, Francis, Drake, etc. . . . He was thoroughly unselfish and ready at all times to help others; and was particularly the friend and supporter of young men entering the profession . . . . In 1850, Dr. Lee purchased a handsome residence near Peekskill, N.Y. on the Hudson. He loved domestic retirement and quiet study in his library of three or four thousand volumes. " His writings attest the comprehensive nature of his scientific and literary acquirements as well as a vigorous and logical mind." By the time of his death , Dr. Lee had probably contributed mor·e to the medical literature than any other American author. 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �He was about five feet nine inches tall, broad shouldered with a strong frame; hair of salt and pepper grey parted on the left; a large Roman nose, dark blue eyes and a well developed and clean shaven chin. His voice was clear and emphatic - never violent or personal. As a public speaker he usually read his lectures from manuscript- which he sometimes discarded in favor of his unharnessed thoughts filled with inexhaustible and irrestable humor. In 1862, while in England, he was invited to speak before the British Temperance Reform League at the annual meeting in Londonso great was his reputation as a forcible writer about that subject. In the same year he also visited Continental Europe and collected plans, models and specifications of the best and most recent naval, civil and military hospitals for the use of the United States Government. These, with others were placed in the archives of the War Department at Washington. He also wrote about fifty elaborate and carefully prepared letters for the American Medical Times designed to furnish useful and important information not only for our army and naval surgeons but for general practitioners as well. He returned to New York City in 1863 and immediately offered his services to the Government in the capacity of a surgeon. Dr. Lee was assigned to a subordinate position in a hospital but soon resigned this position to accept a more useful one in a wider field that of hospital inspector and visitor in the United States Sanitary Commission. Soon after the Civil War he spent several months in the south collecting material about the Confederate armies for Sanitary Records and Military History of the War published by that commission. Dr. Lee was a member of many learned and scientific societies both at home and abroad- some of which were the New York Academy of Medicine, the New York State Medical Society, the American Medical Asssociation, and the New York Historial Society and New York Lyceum of Natural History. He was an honorary member of the Connecticut State Medical Society, the Ohio State Medical Society and the British Social Science Congress. In religion, from 1835, he was a High Church Episcopalian and one time warden of St. Peter's Church at Peekskill. Dr. Lee was taken ill with endocarditis on 30 January 1872 and died 14 February 1872. He was survived by his wife and three sons. References !.Howard A. Kelly and Walter L. Burrage, American Medical Biographies, Baltimore.

He had gone to bed a few hours earlier - dead tired. David had recently completed his internship, after graduating from Medical School, and was anxious to begin the practice of medicine. After visiting several places, he had chosen the village of Centerville, as a place that suited his purpose. It was a one-doctor town in an agricultural area. The previous doctor had recently moved away to a larger place and there was no doctor nearer than the one in the nearest village eight miles away. He hoped that patients would come quickly since he needed an income without delay. There was a college debt to be paid, and, besides he wanted to get married next summer. Who knows? Perhaps in a few years, if things went well here he could accumulate a nest egg and move to a larger town where there was a hospital, or he might even take time off for further study and specialization. Tomorrow he would put up his sign and then wait for patients to come. The sign would read David Hunter M.D. Hours: 1 to 3 and 7 to 9 daily. Then, half aroused, he stirred again. That was a knocking at the door. It came a third time louder and more insistent. Slipping into his b athrobe, David made his way downstairs, with the aid of a flashlight. The house that he had rented had not yet been wired for electricity. Electricity had only recently come to Centerville to replace the kerosene lamp which the local residents had used for many years. In fact, some of them still did, either because of habit or economy. David's house would not be wired for electricity until next week, or, at least, that is what he had been promised. When he opened the door, David saw there a youth in his teens. " Pa wants you to come. Ma is having another baby, and Pa said I should fetch you. " he said. " What?" " Ma's having a baby and pa wants you to come." It took David a moment to collect his thoughts. Was this to be his first case as a prac22 t1ong physician? But, here was a situation that needed an immediate decision and an answer. No time to ask - Who are these people? Why do they come to me? Instead he said "What is your name and where do you live?" " Jim Barker. We live down on Stover Road . You faller me and I'll get you there." So, the young doctor, remembering his Hippocratic Oath and faithful to it, hurriedly dressed in the middle of the night. Taking his medical bag and his obstetrical bag, which fortunately he had previously prepared, he went to the barn at the rear of the property, cranked up his newly purchased Model T Ford, and backed out. The youth was waiting with a nondescript car of doubtful vintage with one light. However, it was a clear moonlit light and David had no trouble following him as he lurched along the road, then turned onto a dirt road and another, coming to a stop in the yard of an old, unpainted farmhouse. The yard was filled with several junky pieces of machinery scattered about, and the house was, even in the moonlight, in a sad condition of repair. Entering, David found himself in a rather large living room, lighted by two kerosene lamps with smoky chimneys. There was a dining room table at one end of the room, several straight chairs, two overstuffed chairs that had seen better days, and at the other end of the room, a double bed in which the patient was lying. Present, besides the boy who had brought him, was a middle aged man, lolling in one of the easy chairs, who, David took correctly to be the husband and father, and two teen aged girls, one with a suspiciously large abdomen. The man spoke, without rising " You must be the new Doc. Thanks for coming. I reckon we will be a-needing you soon from the sounds she makes. " " I don't quite understand this" said the young doctor, " Tell me - what is your name?" " Charley Barker - but just call me Chuck. Everybody else does." " And your wife is in labor?" " Yep, she's gonna have a baby. " THE BUFFALO PHYSIC IAN �" But, didn' t she have prenatal care?" " What's that?" " Didn' t she go to a doctor for check-up examinations during her pregnancy?" " No- what fer? She never does ." " Well- why did you call me instead of your regular doctor?" " You be a regular doctor - ain' t you ?" " Tell me- who delivered her other babies?" " Sometimes we had Park and sometimes we had Hutchinson - so I thought we would have you this time. " " But I don' t understand - why didn' t you call Dr. Park or Dr. Hutchinson this time instead of a new young doctor?" There was a pause - then Chuck became confidential " Well to tell the truth, Doc- it' s like this - I'm a poor man and I owe Park for 3-4 babies and Hutchinson for 2 - 3 and I figured they might not want to come." Then a little flattery, " Besides I thought a new doctor might be smarter. By the way, Doc, How much do you charge?" " Well- we can talk about that later. " " Park always charged twenty dollars , but Hutchinson wanted twenty-five and I figured that was too much anyway. " David made no reply, not knowing what to say and Chuck continued " Don' t you worry, Doc, about your pay- I'll pay you sometime, or I will bring you some taters or a chicken - how about it? You just take care of the old woman now. We got everything ready for you ." " All right. What do you have ready?" O r. Fisher SUMMER 1974 " We got a good pair of scissors and some stout string all ready and we can make a fire and get some hot water and Oh Yeah, we even got some old newspapers. We don' t get a paper, but we borrowed some from a neighbor. " Everything ready! Everything! Scissors, string, hot water, old newspapers- what a contrast to the deliveries in the big city hospital with their immaculately cleaned rooms , delivery table, sterile sheets and gowns, sterile gloves, plenty of proper instruments, good light, an anaesthetist at the head of the table, and competent experienced nurses in attendance. Now for the first time in his life here he was all alone - in the middle of the night, miles from a hospital or assistance, in a dingy and a not-too-clean, to say the least room, without sterile instruments, in fact, no instruments, except those in his bag, no sterile material, no assistance- alone- and responsible for two lives. A phrase that he had heard many times , went through his mind - This is where they separate the men from the boys. But there was little time for thinking. Here was a patient that needed attention. From time to time she cried out in pain and implored " Help me, Doctor, Help me." Without examining the patient, David was experienced enough to know that here was a woman well advanced in labor. He judged that delivery was not imminent, but knew that one cannot be sure, especially in a woman who had had several babies . So he got about addressing himself to the problem at hand. First he turned his attention to the patient lying in the old low double bed, with a sagging mattress and tattle-tale grey sheets and pillow cases. " How old are you?" he asked . " Forty-one." " How many deliveries have you had?" " This is the twelfth " from the bed . " Tain' t neither, Ma, " said Chuck," " it's only the lev en th. " " Twelfth" from the bed. " Leventh" from Chuck. " Twelfth" again from the bed, " I ought to know." " She' s right, Pa." from the teen-aged girl with the large abdomen. " I still say it's the leventh," persisted Chuck, " you women can' t count. " " Well, then count they, " came back the teenager. " There 's Jim then me, then Shirley, then Reggie, then Mandy, then Ralphie, then Clarence, then Flossie, then the twins, John and Jackie, then Katie - that makes !even and this is the twelfth_:1_ See." U 23 �" Of course it is, if you count the twins as two - but that ain' t the way to do it." " Why not - I'd like to know." David let them argue and returned to his patient. " Did you have any trouble with any of your deliveries?" " Well - Ralphie came feet first - I guess that's why he's so lively, but Doc Park managed that alright, and one time I lost a lot of blood. I was weak for a spell after that but got over it all right in time. There it comes again, Doc- OhThat was a hard one." " O .K. relax between your pains. In a few minutes I will examine you to see how things are. " " Thanks, Doctor. Gee, I'm glad you are here. If you need anything, just tell the old man or the girls there and they will get it for you. " " First" said David " I would like a board to put under your mattress." " How big a board?" " About so big" indicating with his hands then noticing the puzzled look on their faces. " A couple of leaves from your dining table will do. " A puzzled look came over the faces of the girls and the boy. " Howcum he wants to put a dining table leaf in the bed?" " Never mind" said Chuck " He knows more than. you do about this business. Just get them for him. " While putting the leaves under the mattress to raise the patient's hips, David could not help but hear one girl whisper to the other " Dining table leafs in the bed. Do you suppose he' s a regular doctor? He looks pretty young to be a regular doctor. " " Hush" said Chuck, " Of course he's a regular doctor, didn' t I tell you that the guys in the saloon, when I was there last week, were talking about the new doctor that was a-coming to town . He rented the Johnson house. Remember Mrs. Johnson died last month and Old Man Johnson is going to live with his son. That's him alright. Same name - Hunter. You don' t have to have a beard to be a doctor. " Still in a whisper " I still think he looks awful young to be a regular doctor. " Meanwhile David was busy. He had the brightest lamp - thought not very bright brought and placed on a stand at the foot of the bed. Then he had a basin of warm water brought and placed on a straight chair beside the bed. In it he poured some lysol and placed his instruments. Lysol- how often during his career in Centerville 24 would he use Lysol. It killed germs, had a clean smell, and above all gave him a sense of protection against infection in situations like this. Then he did something that amazed his audience. From his bag he produced a clean white gown and put it on, asking one of the girls to tie it in back . His audience did not know what to make of this procedure. They were all eyes and watching to see what he would do next. He donned his rubber gloves, and after immersing them in the lysol solution said to the patient, " Let me know when the next pain comes. I want to examine you to see just where we are." " I sure will, Doctor. " In a moment " It's coming now, Doctor. " The examination revealed that there was little time to spare. In fact with a few more pains, the baby emerged and immediately greeted the world with a lusty cry. No need to stimulate his breathing. " You have a good healthy baby boy." David announced. " How much do you reckon he weighs, Doc?" asked the father. " Oh - about eight pounds, I guess. " " Was he born with a veil, Doc?" " Yes." " That's a good sign. He aughter amount to somethin." Then wrapping the newborn baby in a blanket, David went about his chores - clearing the baby's throat, tying and cutting the umbilical cord, expressing the placenta, inspecting for lacerations and giving an injection to control bleeding. Then, since no nurse was present, he had fresh water brought, sponged the patient, changed the soiled sheets, put fresh newspaper under them and removed the dining table leaves. " Thanks, Doctor" said the patient, " I appreciate your coming. I don' t know what we would have done without you. " Turning his attention to the newborn baby, David asked for some olive oil. " We ain' t got none - but we got plenty of lard. That's what Doc Park always used." After the lard was warmed to make it liquid, David proceeded to completely cover the baby's body with it, rewrapped it in the blanket, saying " You can leave him like that for a few hours until morning. Then you can wash and dress him. " Then, packing his bags, he left, driving back home to catch a few more hours sleep before daybreak. Now he had had his first patient - his first delivery. Never had he imagined that it THE BUFFALO PHYSIC IAN �would be like this. The next day David returned to the farmhouse to check on his two patients. He found everything in order. The mother was resting quietly and comfortably in bed, apparently glad for a few days in bed. The baby was a normal, healthy individual. Many of the younger children were on the scene, in and out of the house, which appeared even more dusty and ill kept than it had the previous night in lamp light. This did not seem to bother the family who lived there, all of whom had the appearance of a carefree, happy lot. The father said " You ' re all right, Doc. We like the way you do things. You can be our Doctor from now on. " David did not know whether he should be complimented or not - nor if he was going to look forward and to profit by this arrangement. He sat down beside the bed and began to gather information for the birth certificate parent' s name, age, address, occupation, etc. Then he asked " What are you going to name the baby?" " I dunno" , said Chuck, " didn' t give it much thought. What do you say, Ma? It's your baby. " The mother looked at the doctor. " What is your first name, Doctor?" " David. " " David. That's a nice name. We will call him David. We ain' t got no David."<) Dr. Jason Joins AAMC Staff Dr. Hilliard Jason, a 1958 Medical School graduate, will join the American Association of Medical Colleges staff in Washington, D.C. September 1. Dr. Jason, who has a national and international reputation for his work in medical education development, will head a division in the Department of Academic Affairs for faculty development. The Division of Faculty Development will replace the existing Division of Curriculum & Instruction. The new title for this division places an emphasis on assisting the Nation's medical school faculties in their efforts to improve the effectiveness of the educational programs of their institutions. The increasing number of students for which medical school faculties are now responsible makes this emphasis particularly appropriate at this time. Dr. Jason has been 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.<) SUMMER 1974 25 �]oh11 Clark, John and Irene Manzella. Intern Matching Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Botsford, Donald Robinson, Norbert Szymula. One half of the 119 senior medical students at UB were matched with their first choice hospital in the National Intern and Resident Matching Plan (announced late Friday, March 8). Three-fourths of the seniors will continue their training in a hospital which was one of their top three choices, according to Dr. Thomas G . Cummiskey, clinical assistant professor of medicine and a 1958 graduate. He handled the intern matching the last several years when he was assistant dean . Dr. Cummiskey said the high caliber of the 1974 class is reflected in a number of matches of students with such outstanding hospitals as Massachusetts General, Johns Hopkins, Los Angeles Harbor, Vanderbilt, and Michael Reese. Under the National Intern and Resident Matching Plan, which attempts to match the preferences of the students with those of the hospitals throughout the country, 40 will remain in Buffalo and 14 others will continue their training in other parts of New York State. The remainder will go to 20 other states, with California again receiving the largest number (16). Two will go into the Armed Froces (one to Letterman Hospital in San Francisco and one to Puerto Rico). Five will go to Massachusetts and three to Maryland. The District of Columbia, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Ohio will each get four UB interns while Arizona , Florida, Minnesota and Texas will each get two. One graduate will go to Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin. Although 16 seniors did not participate in the matching plan electing to make their own arrangements - Dr. Cummiskey predicts that a little less than half the class (about 41) will remain in Buffalo to continue in various specialties. This figure is about the same as last year. Eighty-seven seniors chose to continue their training at Universityaffiliated hospitals (63 with major affiliations and 24 with limited ones). Forty-two others will go directly into specialty residencies, bypassing the internships which appears to be phasing out all over the country. With earlier introduction of family practice during the undergraduate years interest in this area has increased. And there is a doubling (12) over last year's group who selected family practice as a specialty (this was previously known as general practice). While ten will train in large urban centers (seven at the Deaconess Hospital), two will be located in rural areas (Johnson City and Waco, Texas). 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The University program in medicine at Buffalo General/E.].

Dr. Rudolph E. Siegel, emeritus clinical assistant professor of medicine, has authored three books in the last five years. His most recent book, Galen on Psychology, Psychopathology, and Function and Diseases of the Nervous System, 1973. In 1968 Dr. Siegel authored Galen 's System of Physiology and Medicine and in 1970 Galen on Sense Perception. All books were by the same publisher, S. Karger - Basel - New York. Dr. Siegel was on the Medical School faculty for 30 years (1940-1970) and on the staff of the Buffalo General Hospital. He received his medical degree in 1924 from the University of Goettingen, Germany. For the last 15 years Dr. Siegel has been engaged in medical historical . studies. He has published many papers and lectured on the history of medicine and cardiology. The National Library of Medicine has supported his publishing. Interest in medical history in the Buffalo area is probably greater than is generally realized. Though the UB School of Medicine has no specialized department of medical history, its library contains many old medical journals and books useful for the study of this subject. With the expected reorganization of the library in the near future (a move to larger quarters in an adjacent dormitory building), the sizable collection of historical books will be housed in a separate room and a special librarian assigned. A number of local physicians are engaged in historical studies as attested to by their lectures presented at the meetings of the Historical Society of Western New York. It might be helpful for future programming if officers of the Society or perhaps the editor of The Buffalo Physician could be apprised of all such endeavors. The Society presents a local or out-of-town speaker three times a year. Personally, I was able to complete a lengthy research project in 1973 with the publication of my third book on Galen's System of Physiology and Medicine. The series presents a detailed survey of medical science as it was known and practiced during the second century A.D. in Rome or other large cities of the Roman Empire. Galen, the famed ancient Greek Physician (129-200 A.D .), wrote about 180 treatises of varied length, about two-thirds of which have been preserved in the original Greek language. These still extant works, together with their excellent Latin translations made during the Renaissance, occupy about 20,000 pages in modern print. Galen 's voluminous writings deal not only with all aspects of medicine but also cover many philosophical subjects. The latter, mainly concerned with psychological studies, logic, and the analysis of the thought process, definitely avoid any metaphysical speculation. For many centuries Galen's writings formed the chief textbooks of the medical profession. In Galen's time, physicians in training especially at the Alexandrian Library, the very center of studies and teaching, often devoted years to anatomical studies including experiments on living animals. The nomenclature used today in modern anatomy is largely based on the terms conceived at that time. During the 500-year period from the time of Hippocrates to that of Galen very little progress was made either in clinical observation or in therapeutic procedure. The words of Hippocrates were considered infallible. But even in antiquity his terse sentences were subject to varying scholastic interpretation, permitting the inclusion of newer observations. The greatest advances were made in the field of anatomy, a fact supported by Galen's numerous references. But Galen himself made many great contributions to descriptive anatomy, too numerous to mention here. Hippocrates' original clinical approach, combined with an equally unchanged state of Galenic anatomical and clinical teaching, dominated the entire field of medicine until the sixteenth century. When the Eastern Roman Empire, with its seat in Byzanthium, fell to the Turks in 1453 the refugee-scientists who managed to escape took with them many Galenic manuscripts as yet unknown in the West. Latin translations of these treatises by the humanist scholars, such as Linacre, Cajus (the founder of the Oxford Medical School), Guinther of Andernach and many others stimulated the revival of medical research conjointly with the rise of physical and mathematical sciences (Galileo, Sanctorius, etc.). 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �This progress however was not the result of a wholesale abolishment of Galenic medicine. At this time a small society of young physicians was formed, called The Galenic Academy of Florence. It was an imitation of the well-known Platonic Academy of Athens. By this time the second generation of medical humanists exerted a vitalizing influence on independent investigation. The Galenic anatomical writings are so detailed that a modern reader can hardly understand the extensive treatise on dissection without consulting an anatomical atlas. Through the years many of Galen ' s statements, based mainly on animal dissection, have proven to be erroneous but the number of his errors has been highly exaggerated. Investigators like Vesalius, who wanted to abandon the old traditional pattern of book learning, pointed out many of Galen' s erroneous beliefs. They admired the wealth of his knowledge and accepted most of his physiological doctrines. Following is a summary of Galen 's concepts on the function of the human body in health and disease. Galen believed that all venous blood issued from the liver; that most of this blood flowed to the peripheral organs and only a small amount passed from the vena cava into the right heart and continued through the pulmonary vessels or hypothetical pores of the interventricular septum to the left heart. Galen explained at great length that life depended on a vital factor which he believed was absorbed during pulmonary respiration. Unable to determine the nature of this agent Galen, after many experiments, concluded that this undetermined quality - extracted from the inhal~d air- entered the blood during its very slow pulmonary passage from the right to the left ventricle. This factor seemed responsible for maintaining the body heat, which was the Galenice explanation of what is known today as internal combustion. Galen called the factor vital penuma, since the term pneuma to the ancients indicated air, spirit. This represented a partly vitalistic, partly materialistic concept, an early forerunner of Lavoisier's matter of heat, " and thus oxygen. Unfamiliar with the concept of tissue metabolism, the ancients postulated that all combustion took place in the left heart where all arterial blood collected before flowing into the arteries. Galen discovered, by needle aspiration from the left ventricle ·and by ligation of peripheral arteries, that all arteries contained blood and not as commonly assumed, an air-like pneuma. This physiological discovery was as important as Harvey 's discovery in 1625 of the circular blood flow. He overthrew Galen's heretofore unchallenged concept of blood flow which postulated that the separate venous and arterial bloodstreams were completely utilized by the peripheral organs, since blood never seemed to return to the heart. The misunderstanding of the direction of blood flow for many centuries induced physicians to bleed patients for removal of diseased humors based on the additional misconception that good new blood was formed soon enough to make up for the old bad blood lost by the phlebotomy, a misconception which still persisted a long time after Harvey. Galen recognized that arterialized or aerated blood entered the brain through the carotid arteries. This term was derived from the Greek word Karas (stupor) since ligation of these vessels rendered animals unconscious. This arterial blood supposedly generated in the brain an ad- SUMMER 1974 33 �tivating agent for all neural tissue. Galen called this agent the spiritus anima/is (soul spirit). Later it was called nerve fluid or Nervenkraft, and for a time it was regarded as identical to animal electricity. Galen made great efforts through dissection and animal experimentation to advance the understanding of the function of the nervous system. The living organism seemed to depend on a remarkable equilibrium of forces. Respiratory movements of the chest seemed to permit the vital factor to enter the blood during its passage through the lungs; the beating heart then sent the aerated blood to the brain which, through the flow of freshly produced nerve fluid or pneuma, stimulated the nerves which moved the respiratory muscles. Thus brain, animal spirit, pulmonary respiration, bloodflow, and heartbeat seemed to cooperate for the maintenance of the vital heat in the body, the loss of which meant death. Galen stressed that pneuma was not the soul but only a mechanism by which the soul manifested itself. A soul neither seemed to enter the body at birth nor left it at the time of death as popular belief held true. To Galen the soul was a concept of function and in relation to the body it was as vision is to the eyeball. The normal function of all organs was thought to depend on the correct balance of the humors which make up the blood. Their quality in turn depended upon heredity, nutrition, environmental influences, and extraneous factors such as venoms, poisons, drugs. A humor itself could become toxic and cause disease. The function of the brain depended on such influences which modified character traits and actions of a person. Thus indirectly extraneous factors could affect the mind. Consequently therapy of mental illness was based on physiotherapy, diet, education, and rationalization of emotional difficulties. Galen wrote several treatises on these problems which are available in English translation. Likewise, Galen' s principle physiological treatise On the function of the parts of the human body has been translated into English. But his extensive clinical writings still are not available in modern editions. Of these the best known treatise bears the title On the diseased parts of the human body. In this late study Galen tried to relate clinical symptoms to structural changes detectable by examination of the patient. He described different types of jaundice, although he was still unaware of biliary M ore than 10,000 Christmas trees w ere transformed into mu lch at the 2nd annual U/ B recycling project. Or.

Cirrhosis of spleen or liver, of whatever etiology, was diagnosed by palpation. Phthisis, pneumonia, and pleurisy were widespread and surgical drainage of pleural exudates or pulmonary abscesses was performed. Bowel obstruction, dysentery , and various types of stomach ailment were described. Galen often tried to determine structural abnormalities by thorough examination of excreted particles of tissue . Galen mentioned removal of goiters and cancerous breasts. However his remarks regarding surgery are widely scattered and difficult to assemble into a coherent picture. Heart disease was unknown but ascites, dropsy, and syncope were correctly described and their prognosis was well understood although he attributed these to humoral disturbances . The heart was not recognized as a seat of disease even though Galen successfully removed pericardia! accumulation of pus after resection of the sternum. The spread of disease seemed to take place through contact with adjoining tissues by nerve conduction, through the bloodstream, and even by vapors which allegedly permeated the body from one end to the other. Such combined symptoms were attributed to " sympathy, " which meant suffering of several organs in unison. The intricate causative mechanism of these diseases was not discovered for centuries . It is impossible in this short review to refer even briefly to the many other important contributions of Galen - those concerning the structure, function, and diseases of the sensory organs especially of the eye to which he devoted a special study or to his writings on crises, prognosis, and the pulses. In spite of Galen 's great scientific endeavors and many important accomplishments for many years medical practice remained a trade and a craft rarely performed by physicians. In vain he tried to raise the ethical standards of his contemporaries : " They will do anything to ingratiate themselves with the multitude. " He even compared a certain type of medical practitioner with robbers, the only difference being " that the former perpetrate their crimes in the towns, the latter in the mountains. " The gullibility of patients has never changed, and Galen' s words suggest : " We see that greedy men are more sellers of drugs than physicians. " But for centuries the best physicians did not forget the accomplishments of Hippocrates and Galen. As late as the year 1804, Laennec, the inventor of the stethoscope, in his doctoral dissertation on "Proposition on the Hippocratic doctrine in relation to practical medicine," analyzed the prevailing types of fever in comparison to the ancients ' interpretations. At this time summaries of Hippocratic and Galenic works were still published in Europe as well as in the States. Much of that which Galen and his contemporaries wrote sounds strange to our ears and is frequently difficult to evaluate because the language difference prevents an easy understanding of his thoughts. The ancient concepts often remain concealed because of their subtlety which escapes translation. Yet, a thorough analysis reveals their merit and furnishes a wealth of keen observation and logical thought. It seems proper to quote here the words of Austin Flint, a one time teacher at the Buffalo Medical School who in 1845 founded The Buffalo Medical Journal, the forerunner of The Buffalo Physician. Flint wrote in the historical introduction to his well-accepted treatise Physiology of Man (1866) : SUMMER 1974 35 �Bibliography of R.E.

"Theories which are not built upon false and imperfectly observed phenomena are the pioneers of actual discoveries." The evolution of modern medicine is unthinkable without Galen 's influence. Even William Harvey, whose discovery of blood circulation (1628) is considered the beginning of modern medicine, took Galen's work as a basis for his own studies. A rigid division of medical history into separate periods does not permit one to appreciate sufficiently the continuing influence of older work and the gradual transition of concepts. The past remains worthy of our study, and even more so the further we advance. In 1896, ].F. Payne, who is too little known as a historian, wrote: " The magic of literature brings together thinkers widely separated in space and time, and as one magnet makes other magnets, so the activity of one great mind sets other minds in vibration. The polarity of the second magnet may be opposite to that of the first, and so the result of the induced intellectual activity may be contradictory to that which set it in motion; but the one was nevertheless derived from the other. The moral is, I think, that the influence of the past on the present is even more potent than we commonly suppose. " In this age of restless innovation and bewildering scientific progress the historical study of our profession will help us to regain a certain perspective of values. Payne called the errors of the past "imperfect truths " : "The truth of today is the error of tomorrow. They are parts of a continuous evolution in which the so-called truth and the so-called error are inseparably mingled." As. T.S. Elliot wrote in one of his poems: "Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past. "O Sabbatical for Dr. Zusman Or. Zusma11 Dr. Jack Zusman will be on a one year's sabbatical (effective July 1) studying at the Stanford University Law School. The psychiatry professor will investigate social policy implications dealing with violence and potentially violent people. "How we deal with this type of person without violating the law and the individual's rights is a complicated problem. On the other hand we must consider society's rights and how to protect them," Dr. Zusman said. Dr. Zusman will be working with Dr. David Rosenhan, professor of law and psychology at Stanford. Dr. Zusman has taught at the UB law school the last four years. His Stanford study is supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation of New York City. Dr. Zusman was one of 38 investigators to receive a faculty scholar award. Dr. Zusman has resigned as director of the division of community psychiatry at the E.J. Meyer Hospital effective July I. He has been on the Medical School faculty since July, 1968. 0 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A mother of five is fulfilling a lifetime ambition. Mrs. Nancy Nielsen has always wanted to be a physician and is doing something about it. She is a freshman at the Medical School and espects to be finished in three years. Her husband, Robert Nielsen, is an assistant professor of philosophy at D ' Youville College. Nancy was chairman of the biology department at D ' Youville before entering the School of Medicine. She is 29 years old. The Nielsen's children range in age from one to seven years. " I can' t remember a time when I didn' t want to be a doctor, " Nancy said. She is fascinated with her classes and her work in infectious diseases at the Erie County Laboratories at the E.] . Meyer Memorial Hospital. She has also worked in the medical technology program at UB. When Nancy was a senior at the University of West Virginia she applied to three medical schools and was accepted at each. She selected the University of Pittsburgh, but needed a year to earn money for her tuition. It was during that year working as a research biologist in Washington, D.C. that she met and married Bob Nielsen. She re-applied to Catholic University in Washington which had accepted her 18 months earlier, and was re-accepted. But she was pregnant with her first child and decided to forego medical school once again. Nancy took off about " five and a half wonderful weeks" when her first child, Kristin, was born. She went back to her research and study and eventually received a Ph.D . degree in microbiology from Catholic University. Nancy is the first to admit that the greatest aid to her career is her husband. He' s fantastic. We' ve shared the household responsibilities since we were married. And Bob is interested in what I am doing and I'm interested in what he is doing. There is no conflict.

Thirty-five "victims" were taken to Veterans Administration and Meyer Hospitals in a test of the area's emergency services in a crisis situation. Medical students were among the 12 volunteers at the accident scene on the west side of Diefendorf Annex. All volunteers had Red Cross first aid cards. The " victims" were members of the First Aid Simulation Team (FAST) who use their talents throughout the Western New York area by reacting as real casualties would in a crisis situation. SUMMER 1974 39 �The simulation was planned by Dr. Paul Hoffman , director of University Health Services and Mr. Robert Hunt, environmental health officer. City agencies answering the emergency call were the Fire, Police, Red Cross, Civil Defense, Ambulance Board, Emergency Care Commission and State Health Department along with Campus Security, Maintenance and Housing. Dr. M. Luther Musselman, who directed the medical operation, praised the speed and efficiency of all cooperating agencies. " The Meyer Hospital Ambulance arrived only three minutes after it was called . The senior fire official was most cooperative, and the medical emergency technicians did an outstanding job, along with the police, the FAST team and the volunteers," Dr. Musselman said.

O 41 SUMMER 1974 12 Continuing Education Programs �A view from the Governor's Residence Hall showing the Francis E. Fronczak Hall (physics building) and the industrial engineering building (center). Buildings Named for Alumni WO MEDICAL SCHOOL alumni have had buildings named after them at the University by the State University of New York Board of Trustees. Names were also approved for the two major campuses and five other facilities. Tower Hall, a dormitory on the Main St. Campus has been renamed "Stockton Kimball Tower" in honor of the late U/B alumnus who served as dean of the School of Medicine from 1946 to 1958. The building for whom the nationally known medical educator and community leader is named is currently being converted for use as a health sciences library and offices. The physics building, now under construction on the Amherst campus and slated for completion in 1975, has been designated "Francis E. Fronczak Hall" in memory of the 1897 U/B medical school alumnus who gained fame for his medical work in Poland during World War I. The single largest building on the new campus, the general library, administration and student activities building, has been named the "Samuel P. Capen Library and General Administration Building." Dr. Capen, U/B chancellor from 1922 to 1950, is credited as the architect of a plan which saw the University of Buffalo grow from a small group of loosely-knit professional schools and a liberal arts college to an integrated national center of higher education. The construction of the building which will bear his name is scheduled to start early in 1974. The present Capen Hall on the Main St. campus will be renamed. The Administration and Service Building will be named the "George D. Crofts Service Building" to commemorate the man who served U/B for more than 50 years as a professor of law and financial officer. Crofts organized and centralized the business structure of the University in T The new campus will now officially be known as the "Amherst Campus" and the present campus "Main Street Campus" to replace the present "North Campus" and "South Campus" designations respectively. The changes were made in response to requests from citizens of the Amherst community and to help avoid confusion with Buffalo State University College on Elmwood Ave. 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �1921 when he was named University treasurer. Construction of the Crofts Building is expected to begin in the near future. The chemical engineering building will be known as " Clifford C. Furnas Hall." Dr. Furnas was chief executive officer of U/ B for twelve years, as ninth chancellor of the University of Buffalo from 1954 to 1962 and as first president of the State University of New York at Buffalo from 1962 to 1966. During his administration, the University merged with the State University of New York and doubled in physical size and increased its total faculty from 1200 to 2600 and its graduate and professional enrollment from 950 to 2 ,000. Construction of Furnas Hall will begin during the next few months. The library and courtyard of John Lord O 'Brian Hall, which has been occupied by the Law School for the past two months, has been named for Philip Halpern. The 1923 U/ B law graduate served on the State Supreme Court from 1948 to 1963 . For 18 years , beginning in 1925, he taught at the U/ B Law School and served as acting dean from 1943 to 1946, when he was appointed dean. The central courtyard of Christopher Baldy Hall, the education and philosophy building, will be known as the " Adelle Land Courtyard." The building, now under construction, is scheduled for occupancy in September, 1975 . Dr. Land, a graduate of U/ B and Columbia, served on the U/ B faculty for 46 years , until her death in 1969. She was instrumental in the development of the University's Teacher Education Program and initiated the " team-teaching" approach in education, long before the concept became popular.

Fronczak was recognized as one of the foremost public health authorities in the United States, Dr. Fronczak also had an international reputation. A native of Buffalo, he received the bachelor's degree at Canisius College in 1894 and a master' s degree in 1895. He matriculated at U/ B and received a medical degree in 1897 , then a law degree in 1900. Postgraduate work in philosophy at Canisius followed and then he studied medical jurisprudence, preventive medicine and state medicine at Jagellonian University , Krakow, Poland. In 1897 he entered medical practice in Buffalo and for two years served as physician to the Erie County Penitentiary. From 1899 to 1910 he was health officer of the Town of Cheektowaga, and was appointed to the Buffalo Charter Revision Commission in 1906. Dr. Fronczak's long association with the Health Department began on January 1, 1907 when he was named assistant commissioner. In 1910, he was appointed commissioner and held that post until 1946.

When the war started in Europe in 1914, the Poles of America organized a Central Relief Committee in this country to bring relief to war-stricken Poland and elected him president. When the United States entered the war, he was commissioned a Major in the Medical Corps and sent overseas. While abroad, he was appointed by Secretary of State Robert Lansing to membership on the Polish National Committee in Paris, to represent the Poles of America. The Polish National Committee represented Poland in the Council of the Allies and Or. Fronczak was designated director of the department of physicaL moral and material welfare of the Polish Army. He was also placed in charge of Polish war prisoners, refugees, expatriates and orphans in France, Siberia, Morocco and England. As Director of the Polish National Committee's Department of Public Welfare from May 1918 to February, 1919, Or. Fronczak was designated to serve as one of the three members of the Council of War of the Polish Forces in France. At the time of the armistice, there were under his welfare supervision 97,000 troops, 57,000 Polish war prisoners who had been forced to serve in the German and Austrian armies, thousands of Polish refugees, men, women and children, orphans, and other unfortunates. His jurisdiction was increasingly extended until it embraced camps in England, Italy, Northern Russia, Siberia, Morocco and Algeria. Promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in the Medical Corps in ,1919, Dr. Fronczak was appointed a commissioner and medical adviser on the first American Red Cross Commission to Poland. His war service brought him high honors, including the Purple Heart of the United States, knighthood in the French Legion of Honor, the French Croix de Guerre and Medaille Militaire, the Cross of Valor of Poland, the Gold Cross of Merit, Haller's Swords, the commander in the Order of Polonia Restituta. He received a degree of Doctor of Science of Public Health in 1917 from Canisius College and an MD from the University of Warsaw in 1919. An honorary diploma was awarded to him in 1927 by the Army Sanitary School of Poland. Several Polish cities made him an honorary citizen. Dr. Fronczak held many positions, nonremunerative or honorary, in medical and public health fields. Formerly he was a member of the Council of the University of Buffalo and was associate professor for 25 years - later emeritus associate professor - of hygiene and preventive medicine. Dr. Fronczak wrote more than 400 papers dealing with public health and preventive medicine - papers in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Polish. His articles have appeared in many magazines, some in Central and South America, the Far East and the Antipodes. At his death in 1955, in a statement issued on behalf of the entire city, the mayor of Buffalo said .. . " The loss of Dr. Fronczak is indeed irreparable. He carried Buffalo's name into every part of the world with honor and distinction. His entire life was dedicated to public service. " O SUMMER 1974 45 �l ' A Profile of Dr. Stockton Kimball The Stockton Kimball Tower on the main street campus will be the new home of the Health Sciences Library. The former dormitory will also have administrative offices on the upper floors . Stockton Kimball was born in Buffalo in 1902 and graduated from U/B with an MD degree in 1929. After interning at the Buffalo General Hospital, he spent one year at Guy's Hospital, London, and another at Pathologische Institute, Freiburg, Germany. He returned to Buffalo in 1933 and steadily progressed from assistant in medicine to assistant professor of medicine, with an intermediate appointment in pathology and pharmacology. While he was assistant dean of the School of Medicine, Dean Edward Koch died, and Stockton Kimball succeeded him July 1, 1946, a position which he held until his untimely death in 1958. Or. Stockton Kimball Stockton Kimball was interested in teaching, students and their problems, and the advancement of medical education in general. In addi~ tion to these professional interests he gave much of his time and financial support to the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Albright Knox Art Gallery and The Park School. Nationally, the American Medical Association recognized his ideas as a progressive medical educator and appointed him to the Committee for Accrediting Medical Schools.

O 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A major portion of the new Joseph P. Ellicott complex on the Amherst Campus will be occupied this fall. President Robert L. Ketter said eight academic departments and other units, at least 1200 dormitory students and support services will move to the 38-building facility in time for the start of the fall semester. The departments of Classics, French, Germanic and Slavic, History, Linguistics, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, the Program in Critical Languages and part of the Collegiate Program will use office, classroom and library space at the site. In addition, space for the Student Health Service, Student Affairs, business and administrative functions, recreation, the bookstore, food service and craft center have been allocated. The Student Health Service, now located in the Governors ' Residence Halls, will be moved, making available several dormitory rooms in the Governor's complex. John D. Telfer, vice president for facilities planning, said that almost all of the office, classroom and library space in the L-shaped The New Campus �spine of the complex, known as the Millard Fillmore Academic Center, will be utilized in the fall. Approximately half of the residential space will be in use, and three of the six planned combination residential/academic quadrangles will be allocated. These three are the William G. Fargo, Red Jacket and Peter B. Porter quadrangles. Some parts of the residential space will be temporarily assigned for academic use. In addition, two buildings joining the three quadrangles, made up of mostly library space, will also be occupied. Two or three of six dining rooms will be in service along with rathskellers located within the Millard Fillmore Center. The central offices of the Collegiate System, including its director dean, will be at the Ellicott site and a number of offices for individual colleges have also been designated. The specific allocation of this space will be made before the start of the fall semester. The total number of residential students at the Amherst Campus will reach at least 2000, 800 living in the Governors' Residence Halls and at least 1200 at the Ellicott location. To minimize the need for bus transportation, most lower division (freshman and sophomore) courses for students residing at the Ellicott complex and the Governors' Residence Halls will be offered in Ellicott classrooms. All departments moving to the site will offer all of their upper division and graduate courses there but will conduct some of their lower division courses at the Main Street and Ridge Lea campuses to facilitate instruction for students not residing on the Amherst Campus. Bus transportation will link the Governors' Residence Halls with the Ellicott complex and the Amherst Campus with the Ridge Lea and Main St. campuses. It is anticipated that the start of classes will be offset in twenty minute intervals on the three campuses with classes on the Main Street Campus beginning on the hour, Ridge Lea at 20 minutes past the hour and Amherst at 40 minutes past the hour. This will enable students to schedule courses with classes on any of the three campuses and to use bus transportation between campuses. This allows for 30 minutes travel time between classes scheduled for different campuses. Mr. Telfer noted that the allocation of space, location of classes and scheduling were all determined by a two-year study completed last year. The study involved the use of a computer which, using all available dates, determined which departments should be moved and how classes should be scheduled. The Ellicott Complex, comprised of 38 buildings all joined at thesecond level by the Millard Fillmore Academic Center, is named for the man who has been called "the founder of Buffalo. " Joseph P. Ellicott, the first resident agent of the Holland Land Company, surveyed the western part of New York State in 1798 and selected the site and drew the first plans for Buffalo. The facility, designed by architects Davis, Brody and Associates of New York with Millstein, Wittek, Davis and Associates of Buffalo as associate architects, is located on the northernmost point of the new campus. The complex will accommodate a total of 6,000 students, including 3,200 residential, when it is completed. Although it provides as much space as all of the physical plant of an average size liberal arts college, its scale was drawn to blend with the surrounding landscape and does not appear to be massive ..<> 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The Pediatric Nurse Twelve registered nurses will graduate from the Pediatric Nurse Associate Program the last of May. Two previous classes totaling 20 have graduated and received certificates from the School of Nursing at the University. Cooperating in the program is Children's Hospital and the pediatrics department of the School of Medicine. The graduates have assumed positions in a variety of ambulatory situations in clinics, public health agencies, schools and pediatricians offices , according to Miss Norma O 'Hara, project director. Dr. James R. Markello, associate professor of pediatrics, is co-director. Several members of the department of pediatrics are preceptors. " Our objective is to prepare registered nurses to update and expand their knowledge and skills in the area of ambulatory child health so they can assume primary care roles in appropriate settings," Miss O 'Hara said. She is also an associate professor of nursing and chairman of the department of child health at the School of Nursing. Miss O 'Hara received a $308,430 grant from the Bureau of Health Manpower Education, National Institutes of Health, for the three-year program.O A dele Pillitteri, D r. Ma rkello, D elores K ilcoyne.

O At least 20 medical students will be among the 60 health sciences students participating in the fourth annual Rural Extern Program this summer. The students will again be assigned to preceptors in the rural communities of Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. In 1973, 55 students participated in the program; in 1972, 35; in 1971 22 students participated. The 8-week assignment will allow students to get first hand experience in living and working in rural areas where health manpower is usually scarce. It is hoped that some of the students will want to practice in these areas after graduation. Mr. Robert Bee Bee, director of the program, said that students in the fields of medicine, dentistry, nursing, nutrition, pharmacy, physical therapy, medical technology and podiatry are being recruited to participate. Each student receives a weekly stipend and will work directly with a health professional in one of the rural communities. The program is supported with funds provided by the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program, the Appalachian Regional Commission and local community contributions. Counties that make up the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program region include Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara and Wyoming in Western New York and Erie and McKean in Pennsylvania.O SUMMER 1974 51 Rural Extern Program �Dr. Lambert Dies Dr. Edward C. Lambert, professor of pediatrics at the Medical School since 1949, and a pioneer in pediatric heart surgery, died March 16 of pneumonia in Buffalo General Hospital. His age was 58. He was internationally known in medical and surgical circles. In the 1950's Dr. Lambert established the Cardiac Section of Buffalo's Children's Hospital's Department of Pediatrics.

Golden, M.D. '46 Pres ident, Medical Alumni Association In January Mr. David K . Michael was appointed executive director of the U/ B Alumni Association. He will continue to be director of Medical Alumni Affairs, a position he has held since May 1, 1969. Before joining the medical school staff Mr. Michael worked on the U/B alumni association staff (19661969.) In his new position, he succeeds John M. Carter who became executive vice president fo the U/ B Foundation, parent organization of the alumni association. o One of the pleasures of this Presidency is that with the term of my office ending, I can now look back, assess the year, and suggest changes for the future . The first annual fall picnic for the Medical Students and their families was held in September. Despite a rainy day, it was a most pleasant way for the freshmen to get to know the upperclassmen socially early in the academic year. We offered our first postgraduate seminar trip to Acapulco and the response was excellent. All the financial gains will be used to strengthen our scholarship fund. We will broaden the Annual Spring Clinical Days activities this year by hosting the senior class at a cocktail party to be held May 5 at the Frank Lloyd Wright House. We hope it will become the annual means of welcoming the senior class to the ranks of Alumni. The number of dues-paying Alumni has increased 40 per cent this year-tangible evidence that there is interest and concern by the graduates of this School of Medicine for the University. There are many ways that Alumni can support the school, and if we are to become really effective, there must be an increasing commitment on the part of all our membership, a pledge not merely of physical resources but, more importantly, of effort and time. On leaving this office, I have one major concern for our organization. The " planners" are already working to convince us that we would function more efficiently as a part of a larger University group. I seriously doubt that such a change will increase our size or activities , and would probably bring far less stimulating and productive relations. I hope 197 4 will see an even more expanded program. Plans are currently underway for acknowledging the accomplishments of Alumni who have chosen to make their contribution to Medicine in different locales and under other than the UB banner. Another teaching day in the fall of the year would offer a further opportunity for postgraduate education of local Alumni . Perhaps we could sponsor a Hospital Exchange to provide needed dialogue regarding the many problems that face us all. The establishment of a communications center for personnel recruitment would be a service both to physicians and the community at large. Most of us have been part of the School of Medicine as students for four years . We will be part of its Alumni forever. The commitment we have to the University is an undated one. If more will accept the responsibility that is part of being an Alumnus, the chances of meeting some of the University 's needs and our own needs can be greatly enhanced . D 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Alumni Contributions, 1973 The number of dues paying medical alumni increased by 40 per cent in 1973. A special thank you to this group as well as to those who give every year. We at the School of Medicine appreciate your support and participation. You will find an envelope in the back of the magazine for your 1974 dues. Again many thanks. 1912 1926 Aaron, Abraham H. Cheplove, Max Silverberg, Sigmund B. Smith, Ernest P.

Eccles, distinguished professor of physiology and biophysics at the Medical School, will be presented an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Oxford this summer. During the Encaenia, an annual Oxford ceremony which recognizes former students for distinguished achievement, Dr. Eccles and some 20 other honorees will be given the British University's highest honor at the Sheldonian Theater. Dr. Eccles, a native of Melbourne, Australia, received his BS and MB degrees from the University of Melbourne and his MA and PhD degrees from Oxford. He is currently an honorary fellow of Oxford's Exeter College and Magdalen College. In 1963 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology for establishing the relationship between inhibition of nerve cells and the repolarization of a cell's membrane-a fundamental question in the physiology of the central nervous system. Cambridge scholars Alan Lloyd Hodgkin and Andrew Fielding Huxley, who were studying nerve impulse production, shared the 1963 prize with Dr. Eccles. Dr. Eccles joined the U/B faculty in 1968 and, at age 70, continues his research which is now concerned with the cerebellum of the brain. He also maintains full teaching responsibilities and publishes actively. 0 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �During 1973 the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program spent over $1,006,000 on the operation of 13 active projects. In addition three other projects received commitments for funds but no monies was expended. Despite the stress experienced by regional medical programs during the year there was no significant reduction in attention to programs according to Dr. John R.F. Ingall, director of LARMP. Three projects were conducted as in-house programs and funded through the core budget. They are the Rural Externship Program, whereby health science students were placed in rural settings for a summer to encourage them to consider rural practice after graduation $53,190; Community Health Information Profile - $66,753; and the Health Information Services Unit - $22,964. Projects funded by the LARMP in 1973: PROJECT ESTIMATED COSTS Telephone Lecture Network ............................. $135,644 Respiratory Project ..................................... $ 32,086 Tumor Registry ........................................ $ 80,049 Information Dissemination Service ....................... $ 27,551 Comprehensive Family Health ........................... $ 65,698 Allegany County Mobile Health Unit ..................... $ 23,701 Planning and Articulation for Allied Health ................ $ 4,731 Comprehensive Continuing Care for Chronic Illness ........ $ 67,243 Regional Hypertension ................................. $ 2,075 *Emergency Medical Services System ..................... $182,467 *(Another $167,000 has been allocated for this project and will be disbursed upon the completion of installation of radio equipment in the various locations as outlined in the project proposal.) During 1973 six other projects were funded, but the money was not all expended. These include the Lakes Area Health Education Center, $309,513; School of Architecture and Design at the University to complete phase II of ambulatory care model study, $99,723; Ambulatory Care Study in Niagara County, $25,000; to the UB Foundation for associate professor Sara Ciccarelli in the School of Health Related Professions for medical laboratory improvements in hospitals in nine Western New York Counties, $25,000; sharing educational resources among six hospitals and Genesee Community College, $25,000; two nutrition programs in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties, $10,000. 0 SPRING, 1974 7 LARMP Spends $1 Million on 13 Projects �Dermatology Department S kin is the interface between man and his environment. As such it plays an important role in his social patterns. And for the millions of patients who suffer from its problems and diseases, its cost in terms of disability and morbidity is enormous. What attracted the noted dermatologist, Dr. Richard Dobson, to Buffalo just over a year and a half ago was the opportunity to develop a new program in a community having a broad range of clinical hospital facilities rather than one of a traditional university hospital with its selected patient population. In any of the already wellestablished departments in which opportunities were open to him he saw himself merely as " custodian. " But the former professor of dermatology at the University of Oregon since 1961 as well as senior scientist at the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center for four years was quick to point to Buffalo's long tradition as a clinical center in dermatology. Tracing the history he started with its first professor and chairman, Dr. Grover Wende, who was also a UB medical graduate (1892). Upon his untimely death in 1926 he was succeeded by astute clinician Dr. Earl Osborn who over the next 30 years pioneered in X-ray therapy, and not only established a large clinical Dr. Richard Dobson training center in Buffalo but was one of the founders of the American Academy of Dermatology as well. This history, Dr. Dobson emphasized, was the impetus for starting up a new department of dermatology in Buffalo. His conviction that the unique resources in this community - its thousands of teaching beds centrally located to the patient population and with no competition from any other medical school - was shared by others. For he had no difficulty in attracting a superb group of faculty, many of whom were former dermatology residents under him at Oregon. At the Meyer is immunologist and clinical dermatologist Dr. Thomas Provost who is also board eligible in medicine. He received his medical degree in 1962 from the University of Pittsburgh, took an internal medicine and dermatology residency at Dartmouth and in between spent two years with Public Health Service at the North Carolina Coast Air Station. Before joining the department of medicine in Buffalo in 1969 he spent two years as a postdoctoral Fellow at Oregon under Dr. Dobson. A biochemist trained in both medicine and dermatology is Dr. Norman W. Winkler who heads the dermatology department at the Veterans Hospital. The dual degree holder from the University of Chicago (MD 1965, PhD 1970) also headed Oregon ' s laboratory of im munofluorescence for a year. Especially interested in genetic disorders is Dr. James E. Rasmussen. He is the first full-time dermatologist at the Children's Hospital and holds a joint pediatrics/dermatology appointment. The Tulane medical graduate (1969) who was also a resident in dermatology at Oregon before coming to Buffalo served with the U.S. Navy for two years. Working with Dr. Dobson on sweat gland physiology, a good model system to study basic mechanisms of sodium/water transport, is Dr. Kenzo Sato. The University of Hokkaida medical school graduate (1964) completed a dermatology residency there and was a Fellow at Oregon and in the University of Nijmegen's dermatology and THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �With aid of shearing machine he designed Dr. Leonard Weiss measures detachment of cells from glass surfaces. physiology departments as well as at the Max Planck Institute before coming to Buffalo. Soon to be added to their studies are micropuncture and microperfusion techniques. A Fellow at the Max Planck Institute, Dr. Shigeo Kondo, will soon join the dermatology group here. The graduate of medicine from Hokkaido University (1966) completed a residency in dermatology there, was visiting scientist at Oregon Regional Primate Research Center for three years as well as a research fellow on skin aging and cancer research at the University of Pavia (Italy). A cytochemist, he is interested in the localization of enzymes within cells and is working on the renal tubule. Organizing and managing the education programs in dermatology is Dr. John C. Maize. The cum laude medical graduate (1968) from the University of Michigan completed a straight medicine internship and a dermatology residency there. He was also a consultant in dermatology at Jackson State Prison for a year. Dr. Carl Ehmann, a clinical dermatologist, is studying with Dr. Winkler the growth and development of epidermis, especially psoriasis. He is a UB medical graduate (1967) who interned in medicine at the Deaconess Hospital, completed a dermatology residence at the University of Washington in 1972, and was a research fellow in Buffalo. SPRING, 1974 Cell surfaces- pathology as well as biophysical aspects - are interests of Dr. Leonard Weiss, research professor of dermatology who directs cancer research (experimental pathology) at Roswell Park. The Cambridge graduate (MD 1958, PhD 1963, SeD 1971) was a cell physiologist at Cambridge's Medical Research Council from 1960 to 1964 as well as two years earlier at the National Institute of Research in London. Holding a joint microbiology/dermatology appointment is Dr. Ernst Beutner, one of the world's leading authorities on immunology of the skin and a pioneer in the use of immunofluorescence as a diagnostic technique. There is close collaboration with Dr. Edmund Klein, a research professor of dermatology at Roswell Park, in educational programs between the sister institutions. A winner of the coveted Lasker Award, Dr. Klein is internationally recognized for his work on treating cancer of the skin. "Our three research laboratories - Veterans, Meyer, Buffalo General Hospitals - that were equipped at a cost of over $200,000 from various sources - will soon be in full operation," Dr. Dobson said. With a fully-approved and integrated residency program in dermatology underway, he will have one of the largest programs in dermatology in the country. "Hopefully our plans to train 1d- Dr. John Maize reviews a patient's bullous pemphigoid problems as dermatology residents ]. Heckelman (left) and Richard Stearns (right) look on. 9 �Drs. Carl Ehmann and N orman Winkler prepare fo r psoriasis exp erim ent. residents every three years will alleviate the critical dermatology shortage in Western New York ," he said. Expansion of a broad clinical program has led to 11 clinics operating out of local hospitals and a tripling of the patient population being served. " Our eventual goal is to treat 25 ,000-30,000, the ten or 15 percent of all outpatients in this community who suffer from skin diseases ," Dr. Dobson continued. So too have inpatient services at four area hospitals expanded. " We are seeing patients from as far away as Massachusetts, Ohio, and Pennsylvania and soon hope to establish Buffalo as one of the referral centers in this country. " With emphasis on primary care " we want to insure early introduction to medical students of skin problems and its diseases, " he said. There is an expanded series of lectures for freshmen and sophomores , a week's elective program in clinical dermatology for juniors, and a month of electives for seniors. But, cautions Dr. Dobson, we can only accommodate six seniors a month. Postgraduate programs have also increased . The first program for primary care physicians has been held. Plans are underway to develop a program for physician assistants. "Many things dermatologists now do can be done as well by them ," Dr. Dobson said. He also pointed to 10 interest in training nurse practitioners who he feels are especially qualified to assume management of those children in the inner city who suffer from infections . Because of his interest in the broad spectrum of dermatolOgy - the occupational ones, those due to cancer, allergic reactions , environmental disorders - and its impact on the many aspects of human life- he is also looking into rehabilitation programs for patients with skin diseases. As an example he pointed to contact dermatitis. While it will eventually clear with removal of the causative agent, the patient must be retrained. " What gives us our strength ," points out Dr. Dobson , " is the ability of each of our young , well-trained clinicians I researchers I teachers to find his niche while participating in all phases of a balanced department that is considered one of the really good ones around ." Deploring the negative attitude that sometimes seems to pervade the Medical School-a deterrant to attracting good people- he points to the need to adopt a positive approach to things . " Unless one does , one cannot take advantage of the unique resources in this community - the thousands of teaching beds centrally located to a patient population and with no competition from any other medical school - has worked especially well for the department of dermatology. It is now providing better patient care to more people in the community as well as serving a huge population between Albany and Cleveland to the east and Pittsburgh to the south. A perpetual optimist, Dr. Dobson is willing to modify original goals when they cannot be achieved . " I am extremely pleased with the good group of young people that have been attracted to Buffalo and with the enthusiasm and response from the Medical School, colleagues , and hospitals. We have really been provided with more than was promised," he said. Or. Dobson was born in Boston, did his undergraduate work at the University of New Hampshire and received a medical degree in 1953 from the University of Chicago . Interning at the Cincinnati General Hospital he was a Fellow in Dermatology at Dartmouth for the next two years (1954-56) and spent a year as a Public Health Service research fellow . He was also an assistant in dermatology at the Hanover (New Hampshire) THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Hitchcock Clinic and served on the University of North Carolina medical faculty for the next four years before joining the University of Oregon in 1961. The 45-year old dermatologist is a Diplomate of the Americate Board of Dermatologists and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American College of Clinical Pharmacology and Chemotherapy, and the American College of Physicians. He is listed in Who's Who and American Men of Science. A former assistant chief editor of Archives of Dermatology he has served on the board of directors of the Academy of Dermatology, as a consultant to the AMA Council on Drugs (195861), was chairman of the NIH's general medicine study section and associate director of the division of research for a national program on clinical care for those with diseases of the skin and developing conference goals to promote an attack on skin disease and patient care. He has served as a visiting professor of physiology at the Catholic University in the Netherlands while on sabbatical, and at Southwestern, Dallas, Brown, Duke, Cleveland Clinic, and the University of Palermo. He has also contributed over 100 articles to the literature as well as four textbooks. One (in four volumes) is now used as the standard textbook at many medical centers. He is editor of Contemporary Review (comments/current medical opinions related to dermatological practices). Dr. Dobson has also participated in international symposiums held in Japan (Congress of Environmental Physiology), the Fourth Congress held in Switzerland, the Congress on Cytoplasm of Secretions in Venice, and the Third Congress on Research/Pathogenesis of Cystic Fibrosis held in Washington, D.C. He delivered the Maurice Costello lecture in 1965 at the American Academy of Dermatology. He holds numerous memberships in national/regional/international scientific societies. 0 SPRING, 1974 Dr. Rasmussen examines patient with fungus infection of scalp as medical students and dermatology residents watch.

Provost check the quality of an antisera by immuno electrophoresis. 11 �84thAAMC Meeting "[ am unwilling to be satisfied with physicians' and medical educators' emphasis on acute care because I know of no other g roup which has as much power in its hands to improve the quality of life. Any program of premedical or medical education, which slights or excludes the humanities and social science, pays no heed to the effects of population size and density or to the total environment surroundin g the individual, neglects prevention and health education or fails to understand the interdependency of a rapidly shrinking globe, will inevitably turn out idio savants and technicians and not broadly educated leaders at a time when we all sorely need them here and around the world." MERICAN MEDICAL EDUCATORS must pay more attention to public health needs. This was the main theme of the 84th annual meeting of the Association of American Medical Colleges, attended by 3,100 people. There are similarities between the health care of this country and the less-developed countries of the world. That is what Dr. John H . Knowles, president of the Rockefeller Foundation found in his travels. These similarities, he said, occur in the " minimal attention given to those elements which are indispensable to the health of a people- nutrition, maternal child care programs, public health programs stressing detection and prevention, and family planning services." In his address to the medical educators Dr. Knowles said, " I have been struck by the behavior of physicians throughout the free world and the universal role they have assumed in all countries, namely, their attraction to the functions of acute, curative, hospital based, high-cost, hightechnology medicine." Dr. Knowles predicts that the next major advances in the health of the people in both developed and less-developed countries will result from a marked increase in public health programs and not more doctors practicing acute, after-the-fact, curative medicine. "If we can believe the reports from North Vietnam, China and Russia, the development of health services has stressed decentralized and massive public health programs which start with the people's immediate needs. These programs are carried on by 'barefoot doctors ' in China and ' feldshers ' in Russia. In China it appears that population stabilization has been nearly achieved and that venereal disease has been eradicated. At the present time in the United States, we are suffering massive epidemics of gonorrhea, and millions of our citizens remain bereft of health services in both rural and urban locations. " In this country the educational system has separated public health from medical education. Organized medicine, whether in the form of the AMA or the medical faculties (professor of medicine) has studiously avoided or in the case of the AMA has actively lobbied against the interests of public health schools and workers and their programs. " Dr. Knowles pointed to signs of progress and reform and the surge of interest by medical schools and their affiliated health centers in the problems of their communities. But something is missing, and in most instances that 'something' is the professor and his faculty in the department of medicine. " I have always believed that the department of medicine and its faculty set the tone and the values of the ends of medical education - ends which must relate directly to society's needs and are inevitably utilitarian. " Dr. Knowles said there are few physicians who have the " depth and breadth" needed to lead and be models for students who " desire desperately to be at home in and in control of the modern world ." He said there are several possible reasons for this failure of American Medicine: " Perhaps the fault lies with pre-medical education, the requirements of which effectively exclude the humanities and social sciences. " Maybe the fault lies with hard science, which has assiduously avoided a moral ordering of priorities in quest for new knowledge . " Or perhaps the over-sold state of a proudly proclaimed value-free science and technology has us hoodwinked into believing progress is inevitable- an idea which has driven Western civilization since Bacon, and more recently , the Industrial Revolution ," Dr. Knowles said . A 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"It is an idea now no longer true" he said, "for the goods of an inexorably expanding system of production and consumption have been accompanied by the bads of environmental pollution, exhaustion of nonrenewable resources, and a destructive inflation of money and materialistic desire. " Or, he said, perhaps it was the separation of public health from medical education and practice, "which has allowed medical education to exist in glorious isolation from the community. "Whatever the reason, professors of medicine have, by their contemporary model, downplayed the art and science of clinical medicine and the importance of community public health measures, while stressing the role of super-specialized technocrat. Clinical medicine requires the highest and broadest powers of the intellect and the highest form of humanistic concern." " Doctors generally know little more than lay groups about sexual behavior, the cultural and socio-economic determinants of family size, and the social and economic implication of large families and spurting population and growth rates. Few physicians point out that increasing family size may be associated with increased fetal, neonatal and postnatal mortality rates, increased incidence of infectious disease, poorer growth among children, lower IQ rates and increased incidence of such diseases as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes mellitus. "On the larger horizon," Dr. Knowles said, "the physician is unable to exert his influence at the national or international level, simply because he does not or cannot (for lack of knowledge and/or commitment) understand the relationship of population growth to poverty, disease, pollution, the exhaustion of non-renewable resources, and the diversion of resources away from those services and institutions concerned primarily with the quality of life- such as health, education and social justice." The Nixon Administration may reduce, if not completely end, Federal aid for health manpower education in 1974. Dr. Charles C. Edwards, assistant secretary of health at HEW, said the $3.5 billion program had eased concerns about a doctor shortage during the last 10 years and now threatened to create a doctor surplus. " The medical profession and educators must face up to the problems of maldistribution of doctors geographically and by specialty, underrepresentation of females and minorities and productivity of health professionals." Dr. Edwards said "we are questioning very seriously whether it is appropriate for the Federal Government to bear so substantial a share of the cost of preparing individuals for careers that offer about the highest earning power in our society. We have to question whether taxpayers should continue to subsidize tuition costs for medical students, but not for students in other fields whose income expectations fall far below that of physicians. " While one of the options is to allow all health manpower legislation to expire June 30, he said, "we cannot, in my judgment, sharply reduct- SPRING, 1974 IS "The report of the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future should be required reading for all medical students, and if it is, then their educators and preceptors would have to read it too." "We s e em incapable of launching a preventive medicine and health education campaign for those 24 million Americans with hypertension, most of whom don 't even know they have it. And only about oneeighth o f the persons with hypertension are receiving adequate therapy." "American medical educators must leave their classrooms and laboratories and start pay ing attention to the public health pro blems around them ." �"Medical educators have gotten off scott free as far as meeting their responsibility for improving the health system." He pointed to the same problems existent today as ten years ago in the health system despite federal funds to medical schools. He did not feel that medical educators could solve problems alone but that "it would take working with practicing community and reimbu rsers to meet the challenge." Federal support without a clear idea of where the schools will be able to turn for the funding they obviously need." If the current output capacity continues through 1985, he said, the United States will have SO per cent more physicians, 40 per cent more dentists and 60 per cent more registered nurses than it had in 1970. "I think that clearly we have moved beyond the point at which concerns about a shortage of physicians were genuine, if somewhat exaggerated. Even more significant is the possibility we may well be facing a doctor surplus in this country." More doctors create more demands for health care, with the "almost certain result being a rise in the price of health care services rather than a lowering of it," Or. Edwards concluded. AAMC Chairman Or. Charles C. Sprague spoke about the need of a national health policy. The President of the University of Texas Health Science Center reviewed health manpower, physician assistant output and the influx of foreign medical graduates. "Our present and projected health manpower policy is unplanned. We must make a decision as to what extent the United States is going to rely on foreign medical graduates or physician assistant types before we can formulate a tentative plan for our future health care delivery system." The AAMC chairman recommends a consortium of foundations be formed, which have had a primary concern with health problems. "I would also suggest that we not restrict participation to our' old reliables' but attempt to involve foundations from all geographic regions of the country. The full time staff should be headed by a health professional. " The Alan Gregg Memorial Lecturer, Or. John R. Evans, pointed out that there are many similarities between the United States and Canada in the practice of medicine and medical education. "The most important difference is that Canada has universal health insurance," the President of the University of Toronto said. " Hospital insurance was introduced in 1958 and 10 years later medical care insurance was added on a national basis. Only dental services and prescription drugs remain outside the publicly financed and administered plan. Medical care is insured on a fee for service basis and over 90 per cent of the physicians adhere strictly to fee schedules which are negotiated between the Ministry of Health and Medical Association in each province. " There are two major deficiencies in Canadian health services according to Or. Evans-lack of an organized framework of health care for ambulatory patients, wasteful competition and duplication in hospitals. The physician indicated the rapidly escalating costs of health care is as much a problem in Canada as the United States. " The cost burden has shifted from the individual to the public treasury. Our bed ratios to pop- 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �ulation are high and comparative statistics show that hospital use per capita and length of stay by case type are both significantly greater in Canada than in the United States." In 1971 the ratio of physicians to population was 1:661 in Canada. "Uneven distribution of medical manpower is a greater problem than actual shortage of supply. Approximately one-half of the doctors are in general practice and this career continues to be the choice of the majority of graduates of Canadian medical schools." Dr. Evans concluded by emphasizing that medical schools, together with other health professional schools in the university, should contribute in a major way to the evolution of a system of health care and give special attention to the needs of the region in which they are located. "Unless the professional associations and the academic health centers participate responsibly and responsively there is little doubt that the resulting pressures for cost control alone will force a more doctrinaire approach from government with conformity, rigidity and restraint replacing pluralism, flexibility and incentives." The Swedish health system is built up by regionally functioning units under 26 county councils, according to Dr. Bror Rexed. "They are responsible for the planning, financing and running of the health delivery system in their respective areas." The Director General of the National Board of Health and Welfare went on to say there are seven regional hospitals partly financed by the county councils. "These regional hospitals are the most specialized. They are also university hospitals geared for research and the training of doctors and other medical personnel. The teaching and research is paid for directly by the government, but the local leadership of these activities are under a university medical faculty." In addition to the regional hospitals, there are also health centers (for primary care), district and general hospitals. "The out-patient medical care is done in health centers, which are also responsible for preventive medicine and nursing homes. Out-patient services in general practice and specialized care amounts to about 20 million visits (2Vz visits per person per year) to the doctor. This is much lower than in the United States. Visits are divided between hospitals, public physicians in outpatient service and private practitioners. About half of these visits are outpatient consultations in hospitals, 25 per cent are out-patient visits with publicly salaried doctors outside the hospitals and another 25 per cent with private practitioners. The work of private practitioners is concentrated in the bigger cities so that they cover almost 60 per cent of all outpatient visits in the Stockholm area. Since 1950 the number of health workers in Sweden has more than doubled. Of the 170,000 in the health delivery system, 11,000 are physicians, 39,000 are specialized auxiliary health (nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, etc.), 69,000 are nursing aides and 5,000 are working with the mentally handicapped. Dentists, dental technicians and assistants make up 17,000 while 10,000 are in pharmacy and 22,000 are in health and medical care administration and service. In addition another 80,000 are involved in municipal social and welfare work. SPRING, 1974 17 The public relations group learned about a new program, MEDAWARE, that will hopefully increase public support for medical education. Most people don't understand what medical schools are doing and why they need funds. Two films are planned in an effort to increase public support. One is a taped film for local TV stations and another that faculty members can show at meetings. With foundation support, AAMC hopes to get a coordinator for this program that will educate the public. With the faculty extremely aware of financial cutbacks they can use this information to lobby for community support. The films will tell of research benefits to mankind. The key is the interdigitation between the medical school and the faculty, and the 50,636 medical students in the country today. By emphasizing the positive the films will also show what medical schools are doing to help citizens and the role of academic medicine in public health. The films will also talk about health problems in a particular region and show what medical schools are doing about the problem, as well as the kind of support medical schools need to do it. �" There are about 135,000 beds available for in-patient services. This is roughly 16 beds per 1,000 population, which is something of a world record. National health insurance covers most of the immediate costs of a patient's disease episode," Dr. Rexed concluded. An American physician, who has been working in the British National Health Service for eight years, said " the British system would not be suitable for us." According to Dr. Paul B. Beeson, "the most striking thing about the American medical scene is lack of overall regulation. There is no uniform planning and no top guidance. The Federal government and the several states have tried a variety of schemes to influence the training of medical students and residents but these efforts have had little effect. Many medical schools and their teaching hospitals have inaugurated programs to involve themselves more in community medicine and to encourage young doctors to go into family practice in localities where they are needed, but these have all been more or less in the nature of experiments, limited in scope. " I feel the time for experimenting is short. If we are to avoid a takeover such as that which happened in Britain in 1948 we must achieve better organization. Our profession is going to have to give up a share of its traditional independence and free enterprise. Some kind of control of medical practice already exists almost everywhere else in the world. "We must reverse the trend of specialty practice in America. Today only 19 per cent of America's doctors are in family practice, and by 1990 this will fall to six per cent," Dr. Beeson said. A comparison between the United Kingdom and the United States: "[ am still an American, proud of many accomplishments of American medicine, and am looking forward to coming back to a new job in this country within a year. But in general I have come to feel that more thought is given to the comfort and welfare of the patient in a British teaching hospital." U.K. u.s. Population ................. . 55,000,000 220,000,000 Family Practice ............. . 22,000 80,000 Specialist Practice ....... .... . 8,000 270,000 " To reverse the trend we must start with our medical schools and teaching hospitals. If our most respected teaching centers put the highest priority on training programs suited to national needs, others will follow. " Unfortunately American medical schools and their associated residency training programs are overwhelmingly oriented toward certification by some board or other. Resistance to change springs from the fact that present systems of resident training are traditional and convenient. Clinical teachers rely on them in every phase of their work: patient care, research, and undergraduate instruction. If American clinical professors today are like I was in 1965 - and my guess is that many of them are- their main attention is on local hospital and medical school affairs and research. It is just not enough for a famous teaching hospital to organize a minor family practice training program by affiliation with some nearby community hospital. 18 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Beeson went on to say that many American medical professors " tell me that the well trained internist is the best answer to America's need for a family physician. I don' t agree. Today' s well trained internist is hospital-oriented and wants to practice ' big' medicine. He has had little training in such important branches as pediatrics, dermatology or non-surgical gynecology. If we really believe that the internist is the family doctor of the future we ought to change our system of training and strengthen the links between the American College of Physicians and the Academy of General Practice. The sub-specialties of internal medicine have their own organizations anyway. " Some agency will have to take charge, the federal government is the most likely one. Wouldn' t it be gratifying if we could exhibit the statesmanship and self-discipline to do it ourselves?" 0 Audubon New Town Health Plans A task force is already hard at work on the health plans for the new town that will spring up adjacent to the University Campus in Amherst. Dr. William M. Feagans, dean of the Dental School, is chairman of the task force of Audubon New Town in Amherst. This task force is part of the Comprehensive Health Planning Council of Western New York. Dr. Feagans described the task force's aim as " defining problems and coming up with solutions. " The task force includes doctors, dentists, a hospital official, and representatives of Amherst government, community groups, school districts and University administration, faculty and students. The makeup of the task force brings together the consumers and providers of health care. Planning health care for Audubon will focus on three areas- existing health-care resources, those which will be required by Audubon's residents, and what new resources m'ust be developed to meet those requirements. Noting that future needs may not be totally predictable, Dr. Feagans added : " our design must have a certain amount of flexibility in it to respond to health crises which might occur at any point in time. We must try and find out what type of persons might live in Audubon and what kind of health care they will need." Most of the health care services for Audubon's residents will not be located within its boundaries. Many of the integral resources, such as the Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital (which opens this summer), already exist. Another new hospital is not in the task force 's plans. Dr. Feagans believes that a new ambulatory care facility may be needed. 0 SPRING, 1974 19 �Dr. No ble Fish Hemoglobin A rare fish FrsH HEMOGLOBINS are nice model systems to study. That is precisely why a University biochemist and 11 other scientists went on a " fishing expedition" off the west coast of the island of Hawaii in October. The Kona expedition of the Research Vessel Alpha Helix was sponsored by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography as part of the Alpha Helix research program which is funded by the National Science Foundation. Dr. Robert W . Noble has been studying the relation of structure to function in human hemoglobin for a number of years. Certain properties of human hemoglobins are exaggerated in fish hemoglobins making the latter useful models in attempting to understand the human protein. Having completed extensive studies on the hemoglobins of the carp and rainbow trout, Dr. Noble wanted to examine the hemoglobins of a wider variety of fish . Of particular interest were the fish which inhabit the ocean bottom at depths greater than a mile. " These benthic fish have adapted to an extreme environment in which they are constantly subjected to a pressure of some 200 atmospheres ," Dr. Noble said. " Such pressure will modify the free energies of chemical reactions which are associated with changes in volume , and any equilibrium between a fluid and a gas phase will be drastically modified. Because some of those fi sh possess swim bladders , an organ which fi sh li vi ng at lesser depth s fill with oxygen to maintain their neutral buoyancy, it seemed likely that the hemoglobins of the benthic fish might have unusual properties . This was found not to be the case. The hemoglobin of the deep dwelling fi sh we studied most is rather similar to that of the carp." Dr. Noble went on to say that there were 12 scientists on the eightweek scientific expedition. Each was interested in a different aspect of the biochemistry of the deep water fish . " After I got my blood others dissected the fish for his muscles, gills, swimbladder, heart, skin , liver, bones , etc. By the time the 12 men got through with the fish , there was nothing left," Dr. Noble said. Dr. Paul Dreizen of Downstate Medical Center, SUNY, the leader of this expedition had discovered on a previous expedition to the Galapagos Islands that muscle contraction in the benthic fish is associated not only with a sliding of the acting and myosin filaments relative to one another, but also with a physical shortening of the myosin filaments. This is contrary to the generally accepted sliding filament theory of muscle contraction, and has necessitated a reexamination of this theory. Besides the benthic fish, Dr. Noble and his collaborator, Dr. Austen Riggs of the University of Texas, studied hemoglobins from a number of surface fish. In all he returned with hemoglobin samples from fifteen different fish. These include specimens from three species of pacific shark. " Preliminary results suggest that the shark hemoglobins may have properties unlike those of either the bony fish or of mammals. These studies could be the most interesting part of the expedition," Dr. Noble said. In his laboratory at the Veterans' Administration Hospital Dr. Noble and his colleagues are studying two very different, but to them related problems. On the one hand they are trying to understand the relationship of structure to function in the hemoglobin molecule. On the other they are studying the nature of the immunological response to protein antigens and the chemistry of the reactions of antibodies with such antigens. 20 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �An understanding of the molecular basis of the functional properties of hemoglobin is important for a number of reasons, according to Dr. Noble. " The molecule is of great physiological importance and malfunction as a result of genetic modification results in certain disease states in man. Hemoglobin is an allosteric protein, that is its structure and properties change as a result of the binding of small molecules or ligands. Thus when deoxygenated the molecule assumes a structure which has a relatively low oxygen affinity, but in the course of becoming saturated with oxygen its structure changes to one with a much higher affinity for oxygen. This results in the sigmoid saturation curve of hemoglobin so important to its physiological function. " When the attachment of a small molecule to a site on a protein molecule can alter the reactivities of other sites on the same protein, there is a clear potential for metabolic control by product or substrate regulation on enzyme activity. It is now apparent that there are a number of enzymes which display such allosteric behavior, and act as control points in intermediary metabolism," Dr. Noble said. " We have been studying the properties of the separate structural states of the hemoglobin molecule as well as trying to understand the basic mechanism and nature of the structural transition that accompanies oxygen binding. One of our approaches has been a study of the isolated subunits of the molecule. Hemoglobin is composed of two Alpha and two Beta sub-units and the allosteric behavior of the molecule is dependent on the interactions of these dissimilar subunits in the native tetrameric structure. The subunits can be separated and their properties have been carefully examined. from those results we can deduce which properties of the hemoglobin molecule are the result of subunit I Herbert Lau, biochemistry graduate student, using the Cary Spectro photometer. SPRING, 1974 21 Dr. Martha Mattioli, acting chief of th e immunology lab at the VA Hospital, collaborates with Dr. Noble in studies of protein immuno-chemistry. �Or. Anna Tan, research asso ciate , prepares reage nts for the isolation of a site specific antibody. interaction and which are intrinsic to the subunits themselves. In addition the isolate subunits have properties which closely approximate those of the high affinity structure of the hemoglobin molecule, and they have facilitated our study of this particular structure. It is in the study of the low affinity structure that the fish hemoglobins have been uniquely valuable." Dr. Anna Tan, working with Dr. Noble, discovered there are conditions under which these hemoglobins remain permanently in the low affinity structure even when they react with oxygen or other ligands. The studies of the immunology of protein antigens are carried out in close collaboration with Dr. Morris Reichlin, professor of medicine at the University. The original impetus for these studies was the hope that antibodies might be used as structural probes to detect the conformation transitions in the hemoglobin molecule. However, this attempt, although still of interest to us, has become secondary to basic problems in immunochemistry, according to Dr. Noble. " One of the major problems in the study of the antigen-antibody reactions is the intrinsic heterogeneity of these systems. There is a seemingly limitless number of different antibodies produced by the body, and the response to any antigen molecule is a complex mixture of proteins. We are attempting to Or. Russell Pennelly, research chemist, operates a flash photolysis system (which he constructed) for the study of the high affinity structure of hemoglobin. 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A big catch simplify the study of the immunology of proteins. We now know how to obtain antibody populations which are directed toward single antigenic sites on globular proteins. Evidence is accumulating to suggest that these site specific antibody populations are either pure protein of at worst mixtures of a very small number of different proteins. With such simple systems we are able to ask questions which are difficult or impossible to approach with more complex systems." Dr. Noble is an Established Investigator of the American Heart Association, and an associate professor of medicine and biochemistry at the Medical School. He has a research grant from the Veteran's Administration for studies related to Sickle Cell disease. He has also received support from the NIH for his studies. The 37-year-old scientist-educator was born in Washington, D.C., attended secondary school in Havertown, Pennsylvania. He attended MIT where he received his bachelor of science degree in 1959 and his doctor of philosophy degree in 1964. From November 1964 to December 1966 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Regina Elena Institute for Cancer Research in Rome, Italy. Before joining the Medical School faculty in August of 1968, Dr. Noble was a research associate at Cornell University. 0 SPRING, 1974 23 Alice DeYoung, research technician, op erates the on-line computer while Dr. Noble operates the stop-flow kinetic apparatus. �An experimen t which successfully shows an animal can identify an injected drug.

The multidisciplinary aspects of those efforts are especially critical, for the ramifications of such problems as alcohol and drug abuse - or more spectacularly these days, the shortage of energy resources - are so great and interdependent that they cannot be dealt with from the insularity of a single discipline." Institute Director Dr. Cedric Smith outlined the goals of his staff which include "a much greater effort to prevent the destructive effects of alcohol on individuals and society. We will also try to develop specific techniques to identify people at high risk of becoming alcoholics. Essentially we will try to develop more efficient treatment methods at less cost to the public. " Dr. Smith solicited ideas and suggestions. "We have adopted a multi-faceted approach, because we must. If we - or anyone - knew the answers, we wouldn't need research. We don't know the answers or many times even the right questions. " The pharmacology professor concluded by saying that there are few if any problems left that are easy picking. "This simple truth is especially valid in the case of mental illness, human behavior, societal problems and the like. We are stumbling in the dark in dealing with these issues because we still have too few scientific data to guide us." 0 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �The use of the computer in medicine in Western New York is entering a period of accelerated growth, according to Dr. Elemer R . Gabrieli, editor and chief of the Journal of Clinical Computing. He is also a clinical assistant professor of pathology at the Medical School. With the use of computers in medicine in patient areas beginning to be more common, there is a national focus on Buffalo because of concerns which have been voiced here about the confidentiality of patient records. " With relation to computers, Buffalo may be the birthplace of medical privacy," Dr. Gabrieli said. " One of our big concerns is freedom and privacy. One one hand we believe the system is technically and medically ready to go. But we have not done our homework in terms of medical privacy. " Recently the Erie County Medical Society, in conjunction with representatives from the University, nurses and hospital records personnel, established a task force to set guidelines for " ethical health data centers. " The goal is to establish policies to assure that personal and medical information about persons stored in computers is available only for ethical medical applications. "This has never been done anywhere in the world ," Dr. Gabrieli said. He went on to predict that the use of computers in medicine will not be limited to hospital settings, but spread to physicians' private practices. " I believe that in five or 10 years to practice medicine from memory will be objectionable and negligent. The doctor will check with the computer. " D Primary Care Task Force Dr. F. Carter Pannill, vice-president for the Health Sciences at the University, is chairman of a primary care task force that was created by the Comprehensive Health Planning Council of Western New York. Dr. Pannill described primary health care as being " that kind of care that most people need most of the time." Dr. Pannill went on to say when people seek such care they find it may not be available because of problems such as physician shortages, unequal distribution of services and high costs. The Primary Care Task Force will prepare a description of a good system of health care, assess the quality and quantity of health care services available in the area and present a list of alternatives and recommendations to the Council's regional board of trustees. Task force members represent the counties of Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara and Wyoming.

SPRING, 1974 29 �THE RETINA, like the film in a camera, takes pictures to the brain which then tells us what we see. So specialized has treatment of its many diseases become that it has grown into a fullblown subspecialty within the field of ophthalmology. A handful of the 40 volunteer faculty of the department of ophthalmology located at the E.J. Meyer Memorial, Buffalo General, and Deaconess Hospitals are devoting much of their time and energy to developing expertise in the new modalities of diagnoses and treatment of retinal diseases. It is also here where residents, enrolled in the many residency programs available in Buffalo together with those medical students who are Dr. John Armenia Treating The Retina Dr. Elizabeth Olmsted, who brought photocoagulation to Buffalo at an early date, readies a patient fo r fluorescein ang iography. Dr. Charles Addington shows Dr. ]ames Scibetta the area to be treated by the ruby laser. supplementing their one hour of ophthalmology training by additional elective hours, are exposed to the gamut of retinal problems and the improved surgical skills/techniques that have led to better patient care. "But," insists Dr. John Armenia who has been acting chairman of the department of ophthalmology for two years , " better patient care is largely due to those people with curiosity and interest in promoting new things and in making them available to the community. While many formerly worked in the area of the retina, there was no expertise available. That, Dr. Armenia emphasized, " is no longer the case." For at the Meyer Hospital there is Dr. Louis Antonucci to handle the medical retinal problems, 30 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Antonucci adjusts the xenon arc photocoagulator. t ( while Dr. Thomas Guttuso takes care of the surgical ones. A similar setup at the Deaconess Hospital is handled by Drs. Elizabeth Olmsted and Gerald Swartz respectively. At the Buffalo General Hospital there are Drs. Charles Addington, Joseph Monte, and Rajnikant Patel. One of the most serious problems of the retina, Dr. Armenia points out, is that of detachment. A process of aging, it is basically one of tissue degeneration and becomes an even wider problem. But it can also result from a blow to the eye that is so common in athletics. Its treatment is a surgical one, with the cryoprobe and the laser as adjuncts. Photocoagulation, now available in several areas of the spectrum, converts light/energy into heat to treat, burn, seal, kill fungus or destroy leaking blood vessels. It also causes the retina to adhere to underlying tissue. The cryoprobe, less destructive because of its freezing/heat reaction that also causes the retina to adhere, is used for larger-type reactions. The surgery itself is one of scleralbuckling. After the sclera is dissected, an implant silicone device pushes sclera/choroid to meet the retina, thus forcing it to adhere. There are both prophylactic and postoperative possibilities for photocoagulation. In the former it is used to seal holes and thus prevent detachment from occurring. In the latter it is used to enhance and reinforce tissue cohesion. The oldest and most versatile is the xenon arc photocoagulator. Its intense white light produces the largest size burns, making it most efficient for the more generalized types of repairs. SPRING, 1974 Be~ause of its red spectrum of light the ruby laser IS used to repair both tears and holes in the retina. With its specific wave length, light/heat hits the pigment of the eye, is absorbed by the pigment of retina, and pops a burn. "It is a great preventive tool for retinas that are threatening to detach," Dr. Armenia said. The newest, just five years old, is the argon laser. Because of its blue/green portion of the spectrum, it is extremely useful for attacking blood vessels of the retina. Its ability to get at leaking blood vessels without causing heat reactions around it makes it the only tool available to treat macular degeneration which is the central vision area of the retina. "In combination", Dr. Armenia said, "we have them all." But he cautions on the necessity to know the instruments and their capabilities, as they can destroy normal as well as diseased tissue. There is also widespread use of the laser in treating medical diseases of the retina, the vascular ones-such as retinal vein thrombosis sickle cell anemia, aneurisms, diabeti~ retinopathy. And for central serous retinopathy with its leakage in back of the eye as well as the inflammatory ones such as histoplasma-retinal syndrome. In special instances it is used for malignant melanomas and retinoblastomas and occasionally for primary and metastatic tumors of the choroid that present as retinal detachments. These must be distinguished, he said. d-- Dr. Anto~ucci wa tches Sheldon Dukoff photograph route of fluorescem dye after Dr. Schankman injects it into patient's arm. 31 �pathologic vessels. If untreated these leaking vessels may eventually lead to blindness. As a precaution only the elderly are kept overnight. However following treatment all patients are asked to restrict any straining for a two-week period. When performing laser techniques an indispensible diagnostic tool is that of fluorescein angiography. It is used on all patients whose diabetic retinopathy is beginning to threaten vision. After fluorescein dye has been injected intravenously into the arm of a patient, in a matter of 12 to 15 seconds it shows up in back of the eye. A rapid sequence series of pictures are taken during the first few minutes as well as a delayed series over the next 10-15 minutes to dTechnician Dorothy Vance is shown pathology on angiogram she has taken and developed. While the cost of photocoagulation equipment is astronomical, it is not difficult to justify when treating formerly untreatable diseases such as the macular ones. Underway is a national study to prove the efficacy of treating diabetic retinopathy with the argon laser. While Buffalo is not participating it is studying the longterm effects of this type of treatment as it is used on patients. Therapy with the argon laser is but an afternoon of painless treatment without drugs, anesthetics, etc., to destroy the newly-formed or Technician Dorothy Bechtold readies a patient for an ERG.

"It gives us a precise map of the patient's problem," says Dr. Armenia, "and allows us to decide whether laser treatment is appropriate." To see diseases of the peripheral retina, particularly the pathology of retinal detachments, the indirect ophthalmoscope is used for it cannot be seen with an ordinary ophthalmoscope. "One must be expert in using this instrument in order to do retinal detachments," says Dr. Armenia. "It takes many months of training to use it properly." But with its even greater magnification the slit lamp allows better examination of vital structures in the macula and is an essential tool for laser treatment in this area. B-scan ultrasonography is another modality to test for tumors behind the eye or for other problems. While anatomical abnormalities can be seen by looking at the eye or determined through diagnostic tests another new tool known as electroretinography or ERG of the eye tells us whether an anatomically normal-looking retina is functioning properly. "Through the great effort and knowledge of renowned Dr. Werner Noell, two retinography laboratories have been set up in Buffalo," Dr. 34 Armenia said. "The ERG is done by fitting a contact lens onto the sclera of a patient and is filled with saline fluid. Light from a lamp that is placed in front of a reclining patient then stimulates the retina. And certain impulses given off are seen on the oscilloscope and then photographed for a permanent record. From these recordings, Dr. Noell interprets the patient's retinal performance." "Prophylactically," says Dr. Armenia, "with good observation and tools we can solve patient problems before they become difficult ones." But not only has Buffalo doubled its number of ophthalmology residents in training over the last ten years- there are now 18- but the quality of training also greatly improved. "Only a few years ago our residents received no training in the new technology- the argon laser, fluorescein angiography, ERG - that all large medical centers were teaching with fulltime staff," Dr. Armenia pointed out. " Because of the interest and dedication of our volunteer staff it is now being done in Buffalo. And hopefully, because of this excellent training, many will remain here to set up their practice and make their own contributions to the community by further enriching training programs."

He is th e Dutch C o nsul in Buffalo. While standards remain unchanged there is a new look to the medical school curriculum. Not only is there for the first time a remedial program set up in each basic medical science department for those students having difficulties, but there is more student accessibility to faculty . Explained Dr. Alastair Brownie who co-chairs the curriculum committee of the medical schooL " In the past, students have picked their own electives and their preceptors were frequently members of the volunteer clinical faculty . But this year ten faculty advisors from the basic medical sciences have volunteered to look after 10 or IS students apiece." The Advisors are : anatomy- Drs. Joseph Lee, Chester Glomski; physiology- Drs. Hugh VanLiew, Peter Field ; psychiatry- Dr. Norman Solkoff; nuclear medicine - Dr. Rita Hayes; social & preventive medicine - Dr. Harry Sultz; biochemistry - Drs. Murray Ettinger, Alastair Brownie. During the first week of school when they meet with their students (who have been randomly selected) they are able to assist them in the selection of electives. And because they will now know the overall performance of their students - exam scores will be fed to them throughout the semester - they will be able to pinpoint early difficulties, talk them over, and be certain that the student is taking the necessary remedial action to overcome them, " he said. If the advisor feels that the student is taking too many electives he may insist that some be dropped . Explained Dr. Brownie, who is professor of biochemistry and research associate professor of pathology at the University , " rather than one final comprehensive exam in each core course there will now be several during the semester to enable us to identify at an early date any problems that a student may be having . " While we recognize that it is financially unsound to have failures we are also unwilling to change standards. " To assist in achieving this goal of high pass rate and high performance remedial programs have been set up in each basic medical science department. This program is monitored by a committee headed by Dr. Felix Milgrom. Each department will now spell out precisely what remedial action students are expected to takethey may be reading assignments or individual or group tutoring - if they fail an exam during the semester. Another ad hoc committee headed by Dr . Brownie (Drs. Joseph Lee, Leonard Katz and Donald Rennie) has worked on grading and promotions procedures. " Each student will now know in advance what is expected of him as well as the standard of work anticipated during pre-clinical and clinical years ," he said . Final student grades, submitted by departments to the Dean's office, will be reviewed by the promotions board at the end of the year. On the basis of individual student performance - departments will convert grades into standard scores for performance comparison - the board will decide who is to be promoted, dropped , repeat or make up for an incomplete. The grading picture also shows significant changes as well. If a student fails one or more exams there is now an opportunity for him to achieve a satisfactory grade through the passing of a comprehensive exam. In looking into the clinical years Dr. Brownie said " midpoint review will reveal any unsatisfactory performance which will then be followed 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �by discussion with the student regarding make up for deficiencies. It is necessary for faculty to inform students on what is expected of them in advance, " Dr. Brownie emphasized. No longer are National Boards a prerequisite for promotion to the clinical years. " Previously, you had to take them but not necessarily pass them to be promoted," he explained." Although faculty recommend that they now be taken there is no insistence on it. It becomes a personal thing for the student. " Dr. Brownie pointed to the lowering of faculty morale when someone else evaluates their students. The Medical School is now in the process of returning the number of hours cut down through coring over the last few years in the medical curriculum. Dr. Brownie explained that no department has appreciably cut down on the amount of material that a student is expected to know however. While less time is spent in lab/lectures, the number of reading handouts has increased tremendously. " In fact, " Dr. Brownie said, " the amount of material today's student is expected to know has increased due to breakthroughs in our knowledge of protein synthesis, biochemical basis of genetics, autoimmune disease, etc. And the search for keeping standards unchanged while improving the medical curriculum goes on. " In summary," he explained, " high standards are being maintained in the Medical School but students are now aware of what these standards are. The remedial program, which has been very active in some of the preclinical core subjects during the first semester, brings together faculty and students who are having academic difficulties . And the faculty advisor program not only ensures that students with academic difficulties get advice, but it helps students make contact with other faculty ." 0 The University Health Services opened a new satellite office on the Amherst Campus in November. The five-room suite is in the Roosevelt Building (A-117} of the Governor 's Complex. The new facility has a waiting room, an examining room , nurses station, a three-bed holding room for students, a bathroom, plus two other holding rooms that may be used. " The holding rooms are an out-patient clinic," Dr. M. Luther Musselman said. " Patients are kept here only a few hours. If they can't be released they will be sent to the inpatient facility at Michael Hall or referred to a local physician and hospital. " There are six full-time and 11 part-time physicians on the staff of the University Health Services. Dr. Paul F. Hoffman has been medical director since 1962.

ON CENTER under the direction of Dr. Robert Warner, was founded to serve children with disturbances of the brain, locomotor and neuromuscular systems as an evaluation and rehabilitation center. As a unit of the Children's Hospital and the department of pediatrics of the University, the Center is dedicated to research and teaching, as well as service to the handicapped child and his family. The Center serves and has served handicapped children by diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation and counseling. The Center serves as a focus and coordinator in cooperation with 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �various child care agencies in the community, working with parent groups, social agencies, other hospitals, clinics, schools, pre-schools and nursery schools to create and maintain wide community interest and in procuring adequate facilities and services for the physically and mentally handicapped child. The Center is a demonstration unit, with constant reappraisal of program and process, in the methods of evaluation, treatment and follow-up techniques for service to handicapped children. Since many of the children with disorders of the brain and neuromuscular system present common problems in diagnosis and management and require many (if not all) of the same professional disciplines, the belief has been firmly established and maintained that handicapped children can best be served, studied and cared for by a team of investigators using a democratic team approach. The Center was established on the basic idea that such a clinic serving a multiplicity of similar defects could attract professionals with greater ability and insight than could be obtained were only single specific disease entities serviced separately. The Center is organized into seven teams: 1. Cerebral Palsy 2. Juvenile Amputee 3. Neuromuscular disturbances 4. Seizure 5. Mental Retardation 6. Rehab Diagnostic - primarily children with the minimal brain dysfunction so called " braindamage " syndrome (cerebral dysfunction - learning and reading disorders), children with multiple handicaps (including those with sensory disability who do not fit primarily into one of the five preceding categories.) 7.

The facility is located in a building owned and maintained by the Crippled Children's Guild. The guild's board and the hospital board co-ordinate efforts for the handicapped child through a joint committee and mutual affiliation. Dr. Warner, associate professor of pediatrics at the medical school, was the first and only director since it opened in 1955. He states: " Our aim is to treat the whole child. Although we cannot ignore a child's disability, we must recognize it and make the most of his remaining abilities. " With that philosophy in mind, approximately 3,500 children have been treated at the Center and it has been running near capacity since its opening date.

SPRING, 1974 �J AMES PLATT WHITE was born in Austerlitz, Columbia County, New Our First Professor of Obstetrics James Platt White (1811-1881} by Olive r P. ]ones, Ph .D ., M .D . Distinguished Professor York , 14 March 1811 . He was a lineal descendant of Peregrine White, who was born aboard the Mayflower in Provincetown harbor, the first white child born in New England. His grandfather was a soldier of the Revolution and his father, David Pierson White, served in the War of 1812. In 1816 the parents of James Platt White settled in East Hamburg, New York. Their son pursued his classical studies under the Rev . John C. Lord and at Middlebury Academy, then began the study of law, but an opportune hearing of some lectures on physiology convinced him of the bias of his mind and soon abandoned it for the study of medicine. He began the study of medicine in 1830 in the offices of Drs. John E. Marshall and Josiah Trowbridge, charter members of the Medical Society of the County of Erie. White attended lectures at Fairfield Medical College from 1831 to 1833, and at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, graduating from the latter in March 1834. Previous to his graduation, he was asked to practice at Black Rock, now a part of Buffalo , during a cholera epidemic in 1832. Following graduation Dr. White settled in Buffalo where in 1836 he married Mary Elizabeth Penfield of Penfield, New York. According to Austin Flint, " Shortly after his marriage he met with a remarkable accident. Railroads had not extended in those days into Western New York and traveling in a stage coach over a rough road, his head was jolted upward against the top of the coach with such force as to fracture the atlas. Fortunately there was no displacement of the fractured portion of the bone. He was , however, obliged to keep to his bed for a long time, and eventually an entire segment of the atlas was expectorated. He recovered , with permanent loss of the power of rotation of the head upon the neck." For the next ten years he devoted himself largely to surgery. Later, he abandoned general surgery and made a specialty of gynecology and obstetrics in which he was an expert. It should be pointed out that Dr. White was in Buffalo when the State Legislature granted a charter for the establishment of the U niversity of Western New York. It was, according to the map for 1836, to be bounded by College, Delaware, North and Allen Streets. However, due to the speculative craze of 1836, its construction was never realized because of the tremendous financial crash. The establishment of the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo in 1846 was due largely to his exertions. On 25 August 1846, the University Council held a meeting, at which time it was decided to organize the Medical Department immediately by establishing seven professorships. Together with Austin Flint and Frank H. Hamilton they attracted five professors from Geneva Medical College including the Demonstrator of Anatomy. To bring an outsider to occupy any position of prominence in the community has always excited jealousy, envy and even enmity. Individually they may have been popular with the medical profession; as a faculty they were unpopular. The University acquired many enemies, some of whom were even noisy. Unlike the other professors, Dr. White had had no teaching experience. Therefore, it is interesting to note that the Annual Circular for 1846 stated " .. . The Chair of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children for the ensuing year, will be filled by Professor Coventry; and the Chair of Physiology and Medical Jurisprudence by Professors Flint and Coventry." The Minute Book of the Medical Faculty (1846-1878} shows that for the first session, the Professor received ten dollars per student except the Professor of Chemistry who received twelve dollars 42 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �and Dr. White received nothing. However, he must have done some teaching, because the students of that first class appointed a committee" ... to express their high sense of his professional attainments, as exemplified in his valuable course of instruction, to tender their congratulations on the success attending his first professional labors, and to acknowledge their obligation for his kindness and courtesy in all their official and social relations during the session." Dr. White was a man of inventive genius which is illustrated by the publication of an article about the construction of obstetrical forceps (noted for its lightness, excellent cephalic curve and form of the fenestra.) He did so with the conviction that forceps used in this country at that time were exceedingly defective in construction and in addition to calling this to the attention of the profession it might induce others to make a better and safer instrument. When the University of Buffalo was planning its first building, the Medical Department, Dr. White (chairman of the Building Committee) suggested that the lecture room be equipped with iron armed chairs with cushions for the seats instead of plain boards in use in other institutions. This he thought would contribute much to the comfort and convenience of the student, by affording more ease of sitting and a place for taking dBuffalo Evening News Dr. Wayne L.

The style of architecture was Romanesque and the building was 56 feet wide by 100 feet long and four floors high , built from Lockport red sandstone. It was located at the northeast corner of Main and Virginia Streets. The basement in front was occupied by the janitor and his wife. The historic event in obstetrics took place in the room adjoining the kitchen - it was lighted by tallow candles. As a teacher, White was direct, forcible and practical, which was certainly borne out by his decision to show the graduating class a real live birth for the first time in the United States . This was his fourth class and at this point he became innovative and left the ranks of the traditionalists in this country on 18 January 1850. He knew there was an unmarried Irish girl, Mary Watson , age 26 at the Erie County Alms House, who was expected to deliver in about nine days . He persuaded her to live with the janitor and his wife at the Medical School for the remainder of her confinement. The janitor's wife promised to act as a nurse until she recovered . During this period each member of the class, in the presence of Dr. White, was permitted to auscultate the fetal heart sounds by means of a stethoscope, with the same delicacy as in a private case. They were best heard over the right flank posteriorly. When labor commenced and delivery appeared imminent, the class was assembled in a separate part of the building and each student, singly, was permitted to visit the patient in the presence of Dr. White, and make a vaginal examination, again with the same observance of delicacy as in a private case. You could touch but you couldn' t look! At the time of delivery , all of the students crowded into the room and Dr. White drew back the bed clothes. They watched him support the perineum with a napkin in each hand so that only the head of the child was visible and not the vulva. The prenatal position of right occiput posterior was verified . After the confinement, Dr. White gave Mary Watson ten dollars which she said, at the trial, was no inducement for her going to the Medical College, because she felt the treatment was far better there than what she would have received at the Alms House. Very likely all twenty medical students said something to either their preceptors or their landladies about the new method of instruction at the Medical School. At first there was no mention of this in the local papers but it was the topic of gossip and rumor among some physicians because of personal enmity and professional jealousy, and among the lay persons because of a moral issue based on the opinion at that time that it was immoral to expose female genitalia for visual observation. You could touch but you could not look! The sentiment against Dr. White soon became so pronounced that the students who had witnessed the demonstration felt called upon to refute the charges in a letter to the Buffalo Medical Journal. Nevertheless an extremely bitter letter protesting against the repetition of such a procedure was signed by 17 Buffalo physicians and also published in the Buffalo Medical Journal. Two libelous and slanderous letters to the editor of the Buffalo Daily Courier were signed by a mysterious " L" . In addition a venomous article was published by the Rev. John E. Robie, Proprietor of the Christian Advocate and anonymous handbills were distributed from door to door. 44 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Ernest R.D. Haynes (left) was given the Or.

D Buffalo Evening News This was too much for Dr. White and the Faculty, so steps were taken to call the author to task, with the result that an indictment for criminal libel was brought against Dr. Horatio N. Loomis, an active enemy of the University, who was thought to be the writer of the articles signed "L". His identification with the publication consisted in his procuring it to be set up at the Daily Courier office after it had appeared in the daily edition of the paper and the type had been distributed, in consequence of which it was inserted in the weekly issue, in his purchasing extra copies, distributing them, reading the article to his patients and stating that he had been assured of the accuracy of the statements it contained. The trial of The People versus Horatio N. Loomis for libel opened June 24, 1850 before presiding Judge Mullett at the Erie County Oyer and Terminer and lasted five days. The fact was brought out that Dr. Loomis had not written the article himself and he was acquitted primarily because the jury ignored the judge's charge. The matter did not end here, because in spite of all the objections urged against this method of teaching, the ball was started rolling and the profession has long since thoroughly vindicated Dr. White by using clinical illustration of labor as a teaching method. d- SPRING, 1974 45 �Dr. White was also the first to bring to the attention of the medical profession the successful treatment of chronic uterine inversion. His original method consisted of manual pressure and counterpressure continued over a comparatively long period, i.e. , hours. Later he added to his maneuver the use of a stem repositor or rectal bougie. He had altogether reduced twelve cases and one hundred and fifteen operations for ovariotomy. In his memorial for White, Austin Flint said, " As a teacher he was direct, forcible and practical, he did not aim at rhetorical or oratorical display, but his object was sound teaching, the value of which was to be verified at the bedside. " The graduating class of 1855 asked his permission to have engraved, ... a lithographic likeness of yourself , in order that we may take with us or may obtain on our return to our homes , some momenta of so faithful and efficient teacher as yourself, and also that we may hold in our possession a true likeness of the first instruction in the U.S . who has adopted the " demonstrative " mode of teaching in that department.

He was dean of the faculty of the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo at the time of his death, and had been president of the Board of Trustees of the Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane from its establishment until a short time before his death , when he resigned on account of ill health. For some time he was president of the medical staff of the Buffalo General Hospital. He was Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Buffalo for 35 years. 46 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. White had pride in everything relating to the prosperity and welfare of Buffalo. He was one of the founders of the Young Men's Association, Academy of Fine Arts and Buffalo Historical Society.

He was a devoted member of the Protestant Episcopal Church and was active in behalf of the charitable organizations connected with it. He cooperated actively with Bishop Timon in the establishment of the Sisters of Charity Hospital, the Maternity and Fondling Hospitals and the Providence Asylum for the Insane. He was one of the foremost of the founders of St. John's Church and also of Christ Chapel, and president of the Buffalo Club when he died at home on 28 September 1881.

At the Buffalo General Dr. Charles Elwood has established what Dr. Andres believes to be " one of the best clinical nephrology centers in the country. " Here Drs . Roland and Sidney Antone direct an efficient transplantation clinic. D octora l fe llow David W. O 'Con nell reviews electron micrograph. Studying Renal Disease 48 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �O ne of weekly renal conferences. Other excellent and active renal units are located at the Meyer Hospital under Drs. H . Evan Strong and Joseph R . Gerbasi; the Veterans Hospital under Drs. John Boylan, Carl Bentzel. Basab Mookerjee, and Mario Montes; the Children's Hospital under Dr. Tadla Baliah; and the Millard Fillmore Hospital under Dr. Robert T. Schultz. This team of physicians/ pathologists meet at weekly renal conferences to review the clinical histories, laboratory and immunopathologic data of patients with renal diseases or renal grafts. Buffalo, Dr. Andres discovered when he came here four years ago from the University of Rome (where he was chief physician of its department of medicine's renal unit), was an excellent place to study renal disease. For here he found a group of distinguished investigators working on clinical aspects and the pathology/immunopathology of renal diseases as well as mechanisms of hypertension and renal function. He recalled many who encouraged and contributed to this interest. There is Drs. Felix Milgrom (chairman of microbiology) and Robert McCluskey (then chairman of pathology who now heads this department at Boston's Children's Hospital). There was Dr. Charles Brennan at the Buffalo General who is now in California; Dr. Alan Grossberg at Roswell Park Memorial Institute; Drs. Elwood and Alf Tannenberg at the Meyer (he is now at Albert Einstein). There was Dr. Mitchell Rubin (he served as chairman of the department of pediatrics and is now retired); Drs. Boylan and Bentzel and their group of renal physiologists as well as Drs. Morris Reichlin and Martha Mattioli at the Veterans Hospital. Dr. Andres studied at the Universities of Torino and Pisa, receiving his medical degree in 1949 from the latter where he worked over the next six years in its department of infectious diseases. d- SPRING, 1974 49 �Or. ]an Brentjens, research assistant professor of pathology, watches Irene B. Pawlowski (research assistant) and Joyce R. Niesen (research technician) prepare tissue for a histochemical technique. Senior research assistant Soon W. Chai places specimen in electron microscope. In 1965 he spent a year at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons in the department of medicine under Dr. Robert F. Loeb. Over the next two years he was a Hay Whitney Foundation Fellow, a visiting professor in the departments of medicine, pathology or microbiology at the University of Rome, Stockholm's Karolinska Institute, and at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons. He is now a visiting professor in the latter's department of medicine and pathology. Among research interests that Dr. Andres pursues with fellows, graduate students, and technicians are the pathology produced by antigen/antibody complex, glomerular permeability in immune complex diseases, and the course of other types of glomerulonephritis such as anti-GBM and basement membrane dense deposit disease. Renal biopsy specimens and renal allografts that the noted investigator uses for his diagnostic activity at Buffalo General are also relied on heavily when training medical students, residents, and fellows in renal pathology. But for even greater insight into kidney diseases Dr. Andres hopes for closer ties with all Buffalo and upstate nephrologists and physicians who handle diagnostic problems and the treatment of renal disease. 0 so THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Almen L. Barron, professor of microbiology at the University has been named chairman and professor of microbiology of the University of Arkansas School of Medicine, effective July, 1974. The Canadian-born virologist came to Buffalo in 1954 as instructor following graduation from Queen's University (Canada) with a doctorate, and became an American citizen. Over the next 20 years Dr. Barron rose to the rank of professor of immunology, directs the Erie County Virology Laboratory and is a special consultant in pediatrics at Children's Hospital. A Fulbright research scholar in virology at Hadassah Medical School in 1964, and visiting professor in immunology in 1972 at Hebrew University's medical school, he has served on the Buffalo medical school admissions committee for five years and as director of its graduate microbiology studies for four. His interest in viral immunology has led to active programs of studies on chlamydia! agents causing infections such as psittachosis, trachoma and lymphogranuloma venereum, and over 50 publications to the literature as well as 25 abstracts and presentations for scientific meetings. He is a member of the editorial board of Infection and Immunity, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America, Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, American Association of Immunologists and the American Society for Microbiology. CJ Medical Students Aid Prisoners Seventeen medical students are practicing medicine behind bars. The program is sponsored by the Buffalo Police Department and the Medical School. It is the first time that medical examinations have been available to " inmates" in the overnight holding facilities. The students are taking turns conducting 5 a.m. examinations, seven days a week , according to Dr. Ralph Landsberg, clinical instructor in nuclear medicine at the University. " The students are eager to come in and if they find just one case a month they'll be happy, and so will we." Assistant chief of detectives Thomas P. McMahan said, " any prisoner who is in apparent need of medical attention, or who requests medical attention, will be examined by the medical students. " Most of the examinations ·are being conducted in the cells, but small examination rooms are available in the security areas surrounding both the men's and women's cellblocks. " If the medical student finds a problem, he can conduct a more thorough examination in the presence of a guard in the smaller rooms. The student may also recommend that the prisoner be taken to a hospital for treatment," Mr. McMahon said. 0 SPRING, 1974 51 Or. Barro n Arkansas Appointment �The Classes of the 1920's The Classes The 1916 Class Dr. Marvin A. Block, M '25, has been named to the new 10-member New York State Advisory Committee on Alcoholism.

D Kidney Hotline The Kidney Foundation of Western New York Inc. maintains a hotline which may ring at any hour of the day or night. The hotline can set in motion a race that can involve private, commercial or governmental aircraft, state and local police and even helicopter airlifts to speed a kidney from one team of surgeons to another. " There is still a tremendous shortage of kidneys," said Dr. Sidney Anthone, chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee on the Kidney Foundation. The 1950 Medical School graduate attributes much of the problem to physicians who often are reluctant to ask relatives of a dying patient about the possibility of donating kidneys. " We are not notified often enough about a patient who is dying who might make a suitable kidney donor. Sometimes it is because the private physician doesn' t want to ask the family 's permission," Dr. Anthone said. The Buffalo General Hospital has a portable kidney profusion machine. Here kidneys are stored for 12 to 24 hours and kept alive with blood plasma circulating through the organs. Dr. Anthone carries a list of the area residents awaiting transplants with their particular blood and tissue typing. When he receives a call of a potential donor (whether in the United States or Canada) he consults the list to determine whether anyone matches the donor. All potential recipients nationwide are listed by blood type on a master computerized list.

SUMMER, 1973 1 �Dr. Beutner (center) reviews data from electron microscopy study with Susan Vetter, laboratory technician , and Dr. Russell J. Nisengard. I call senseless beliefs and degenerate customs diseases of humanity. Maimonides 1135-1204 Immunopathology of the Skin If you were to walk into the offices of Dr. Ernst Beutner in Sherman Hall you would find the most prominent location on the wall occupied by this admonition of Maimonides. For the professor of microbiology, who has not only established the concepts of defined immunofluorescence but has played a major role in laying the groundwork for the subspecialty of immunopathology of the skin, the copy serves to remind him of the direction for his research, teaching, and service commitments. Dr. Beutner came to Buffalo in 1956 from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine to work under the late Dr. Ernest Witebsky. Here the liberal arts graduate from Pennsylvania State (armed with a Ph.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania in microbiology and with expertise in bacteriophage, food technology, and tissue culture gained at Cold Spring Harbor, MIT, and Cooperstown respectively), was introduced to autoimmunity in thyroiditis. 2 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"Dr. Witebsky suggested that I use the fluorescent antibody method," he recalled. He started with studies of thyroiditis in the model system discovered by Drs. Witebsky and Noel Rose, and then in man. His studies of human thyroiditis led to the discovery of one of two major types of antibodies associated with this disease which react with thyroid cells. While studying experimental models of two other autoimmune response systems- the pituitary autoantibody and those to the salivary glands - the German-born researcher became convinced that reactions of animals are usually different from those in man. He therefore turned to the study of human diseases. Focusing first on Myasthenia gravis he recalls "we were able to generate methods of demonstrating muscle autoantibodies by indirect immunofluorescence, hemagglutination, and later by precipitation." And the direct and complement immunofluorescence methods of Dr. A. Strauss and collaborators were thereby advanced several steps. His success with the role that autoimmunity plays in pemphigus precipitated the discovery of its role in bullous pemphigoid. Further investigations pointed to a greater relevancy of antibodies to both of these disease processes than to Myasthenia gravis or associated thymomas. And from his work on the bullous diseases evolved the new subdivision of immunopathology of the skin, the establishment of immunofluorescence as a diagnostic tool not only for pemphigus but for other skin diseases as well. While pemphigus is not a common disease, about a thousand in this country suffer from it, an equal number from bullous pemphigoid, and double that figure for dermatitis herpetaformis. Dr. Beutner's diagnostic methodforpemphigus (if untreated the patient will die) is now an accepted procedure. The professor of microbiology feels that about a dozen highly-skilled laboratories in this country can handle the problems of diagnosis for this group of disease~ William Hale checks slide as lab technicians Cheryl Young and Christa Nagy work at staining slides of tissue sections with patient sera . SUMMER, 1973 3 �His study of these diseases continues. Recent findings by the renowned immunopathologist and his collaborators point to the passive transfer of pemphigus with serum of patients suffering from the disease. Transfer, he says, can be affected by injecting adequate doses of such sera into monkeys intradermally or intramucosally. "There is now good evidence that pemphigus antibodies cause the lesion," Dr. Beutner pointed out, "and that passive lesion formation, like those in man, are mediated by fixation of complement to bound pemphigus antibodies. What remains for us to discover is the cause of formation of pemphigus antibodies. If we can understand this we may then be able to prevent it in the future." The 50-year old scientist is committed to continued sound development of this new subspecialty of immunopathology. But he anticipates that it may take half a century for it to grow into a fullblown discipline (it took equal time to elaborate the specialty of histopathology of the skin). In the immunofluorescent testing service (IFS) initiated by Drs. Beutner, Russell Nisengard, and Mr. William Hale, dermatologists, interns, and physicians in both the community and throughout the country gain personal experience necessary for meaningful testing. This correlates with Dr. Beutner's belief (based on Maimonides' warning) that the emphasis of a school of medicine or dentistry's teaching should be as a deliverer of service. And that some of the responsibility for excellence of service performed in clinical laboratories must be placed on them. Many working today in the field of immunopathology of the skin received some of their training in Buffalo. More and more of the time of the Honorary Member of the Warsaw Academy of Dermatology, the Rocha Lima Medalist for studies on immunopathology of Brazilian pemphigus, and WHO visiting Dr. Ernst Beutner goes over a manuscript with secretary Christine Alsford. 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �professor at Escole Paulista de Medicine, Sao Paulo, Brazil is devoted to teaching via a commitment to reviewing articles in this specialty and adding to his more than 100 contributions to the literature at this date. A book soon to be released, Immunopathology of the Skinlabeled Antibody Studies includes reviews of each of the most salient uses of immunofluorescence. One of the exciting possibilities detailed in this text edited by Dr. Beutner and three dermatologists (Drs. Chargelski, Bean, and Jordon) is the role of autoimmunity in psoriasis. He looks forward to possible collaborative efforts with dermatology head Dr. Richard Dobson. Dr. Beutner also hopes to establish a reference service for other laboratories through possible Summerhill Foundation support. He is therefore at war k on a series of World Health Organization bulletins through which laboratories may check on reliability of immunofluorescent testing procedures used in diagnosis. Summer courses on these techniques have been very successful. However Dr. Beutner's writing commitments include final editing of his textbook, Immunopathology of the Skin, sponsored by the National Library of Medicine, a laboratory manual to be distributed by Highland Laboratory, a commitment to draft a series of WHO bulletins - one for dermatologists on diagnostic value of immunopathologic methods and another with Stockholm's Dr. Fagraeus on accepted practices of defined immunofluorescence. As writing commitments ease, Dr. Beutner hopes that he and his associates (Mr. Hale and Dr. Nisengard) will resume this teaching service to immunologists around the world. A series of symposia has also been devoted to quantifying immunofluorescence. In the first, held in 1968 in London a result of his sabbatical led to the text, Standardization in Immunofluorescence, edited by E. J. Holborow. The second workshop, held in Stockholm under Dr. Beutner, was the first international program sponsored by the New York Academy of Sciences in its more than 100-year history. Its text, Defined Immunofluorescence Staining, edited by Dr. Beutner, appeared as Volume 17 of the Annals of the New York Academy of Science . A third, to be held in Amsterdam under Dr. Willie Hijmans, will focus on the development of methods for quantification of immunofluorescence. It is in the development of such methods that Dr. Beutner is committed. For only through these can the diagnosis of diseases such as pemphigus become possible and the field of immunopathology of the skin be introduced. 0 SUMMER, 1973 5 �Selecting Medical Students "D ECIDING WHOM to interview and how to choose 200 students from 5,200 is one of several concerns of the Admissions Policy Committee. "That is what Dr. M. Luther Musselman, assistant dean for admissions, told the Medical Faculty Council recently. Dr. Musselman listed other problems - promoting minority recruitment; possible student representation on the Admissions Policy Committee; admitting Ph.D.'s; possible limiting of foreign students; and what to do about a number of students previously denied admission who took courses in the Medical School and have asked to be admitted on the basis of their excellent performance. Comments were generally in favor of student representation on the Admissions Policy Committe, according to Dr. Zebulon Taintor, Council Secretary. He is also an associate professor of psychiatry. The desirability of representation by consumers of health services was raised by Dr. Norman Solkoff who was informed that that Committee would consult with them. Dr. Solkoff is professor of psychology in the Department of Psychiatry. Taxing problems in the admissions procedure remain, the previous chairman of the Committee, Dr. John G. Robinson, reported. It is very difficult to get black students, Dr. Robinson said, even from New York State which contributes the largest number of total applicants to the national pool. The U/B minority pool is not larger, Musselman explained, because other medical schools are able to provide financing greater than the 30 to 45 per cent of calculated need offered here. Additional funds could be solicited to boost this percentage, possibly from organizations interested in higher education for blacks, Dr. Taintor suggested. Dr. Robinson expressed hope that current recruitment procedures giving special treatment to minority and women candidates can be continued. Currently 5,000 applicants have to be turned down to accept 200, which usually results (because of duplicate applications) in a class of 135. As Dr. Richard Ament, clinical professor of anesthesiology, pointed out, nationally the total number of applicants to acceptances is about three to one. Limiting the number of applications per student might alleviate this situation, but no such step is being taken nationally. The eventual need to employ a lottery for interview and a lottery for acceptance of white male applicants was raised by Dr. Robinson. The desirability of generating admissions policies which relate acceptances to need for special medical services was raised by Dr. Ament, who pointed to a national precedent among surgeons. Using such a system, allied health professionals, for example, already trained in a high, priority field, might be recruited with the expectation that they would continue in that field after medical school. The problem of training much needed physicians for rural areas was also considered in this context. Students from rural areas tend to return home to practice. However,rural applicants often interview poorly and are not currently given preference in admissions. As Dr. Solkoff pointed out, the selection procedure could be made less random by employing multiple regression analyses, a suggestion taken under advisement by the Committee. Some members of the Council suggested the possibility that the ceiling on class size is an arbitrary one, particularly in light of the numbers of non-medical students who are able to enroll in courses. Laboratory space and the expressed need to limit the size of certain 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �clinical experiences were cited as key limiting factors by others. On the other hand, it was noted, the student body was abruptly expanded in recent years without much consultation or planning and the School survived. A good study is called for, it was agreed. In related discussion, it was suggested that foreign students be limited to less than 10 per cent of the class. A six-year curriculum from high school was discussed negatively. The lack of a program for Ph.D.'s was cited as an impediment to acceptance of applicants with advanced degrees. D "A of space will probably be available for the Health Sciences on the Main Street (South) Campus when the University occupies the new Amherst (North) Campus." That is what Dr. Clyde Randall, vice president for health sciences, told the Medical Faculty Council recently. Duplication of such facilities elsewhere would cost, according to President Robert Ketter's estimate, $80 to $90 million. Some faculty members have questioned the desirability of separating the basic sciences from the clinical departments. "The basic choice," Dr. Randall said, "appears to be either having the basic sciences stay on the campus (as was decided last year) or developing an alternative that might take decades to accomplish in which basic sciences would move to one of the affiliated hospitals, probably the County Hospital." Dr. Randall pointed out that a focus of preclinical departments near one of the community hospitals would not alter the Medical School's need to depend upon others of the community hospitals for teaching, especially with larger enrollments in the School. He said he hoped to avoid repetition of the dissatisfactions of the 1930's and 40's when the basic sciences had all been adjacent to the Buffalo General Hospital, a situation which had been found unacceptable to the professional staffs of the county hospital and other community hospitals. Dr. Randall indicated that another alternative, dividing the personnel of the basic science departments among the affiliated hospitals, seemed even less desirable than keeping the basic science departments together on the Main-Bailey campus and in association with the Veterans Administration Hospital, which does offer much in the way of nearby clinical facilities. The vice president said sympathy and understanding are due those still anguishing over the frustrations of where the Medical School should be located, particularly since it was not the Faculty's fault the School had been led down at least two blind alleys in the last few years. On the other hand, he felt that there was virtually no chance of getting anything near the $80-90 million it would cost to reproduce - adjacent to any one of the hospitals - the space that was being made available to the Health Sciences on the MainBailey (South) campus, nor would there be much happiness during the years it would take to move the basic science departments to a location adjacent to one of the hospitals. D PPROXIMATELY 900,000 SQUARE FEET SUMMER, 1973 7 More Space for Health Sciences �Our First Anatomy Professor James Webster (1803-1854) by Oliver P. Jones, Ph.D., M.D. Distinguished Professor of Anatomy TAMES WEBSTER was born in Washington, Lancashire County, Engfand on 24 December 1803, and was an only child. His parents emigrated to this country while he was a small boy and settled in Philadelphia where his father became an eminent bookseller and publisher. Mr. Webster published the celebrated life of Patrick Henry by Wirt and he commenced the publication of the American edition of the New Edinburgh Encyclopedia. The father was also, for many years, the publisher and proprietor of the Medical Recorder, paying liberally for the best talent he could engage to superintend the editorial department. Consequently, the intimacy of the father with medical men, no doubt had an influence on the son's mind. The father wanted his son to finish college and then study law, but young Webster, after hearing an interesting lecture on anatomy, decided to direct his attention to the subject of medicine. He attended one course of lectures at the University of Maryland and two at the University of Pennsylvania where he graduated in March 1824 with the M.D . degree. In addition to his regular lectures, he attended the private class of Dr. John D. Godman, taking a prize as the best anatomist in his class at the age of 18. In the fall of the year that he graduated, Webster commenced giving lectures in anatomy to a private class. When Dr. John D. Godman was appointed to the chair of Anatomy in New York in 1826 he induced Webster to take charge of the "Philadelphia Anatomical Rooms" and to adopt the analytical method of teaching anatomy. This consisted in bringing the subject (cadaver) before the class unmutilated, and dissecting, demonstrating and lecturing at the same time. To do this required not only a perfect knowledge of the subject and ready use of the scalpel, but a fluency of speech and ready command of English which few possessed. As a successful teacher of Anatomy, Dr. Webster had few, if any, superiors in the country at that time. Dr. W. E. Horner, a distinguished anatomist at the University of Pennsylvania, was appointed Dean of the Medical Faculty in 1822. From this vantage point, the dean collected a matriculation fee and in addition also sold the students' private tickets for Practical Anatomy, which they thought would give them a greater chance of obtaining a degree. Thus Dr. Horner and Dr. Hopkinson, the prosector, had a monopoly on the emoluments derived from the students but they also controlled the supply of anatomical material so as to prevent every private teacher of anatomy, not directly nor indirectly connected with the University, from the successful prosecution of their course. Needless to say, the eloquence of Dr. Webster attracted large classes but he was deprived of anatomical material to the extent that he sat up night after night watching that neither the University nor any private class should obtain them until he was supplied and gaining his point. According to Webster, the editor of the S. Carolina J. Med. wrote, "For our part, we most sincerely wish, that this money-making practice, which puts science upon the footing of trade could be eradicated from all our schools ." In 1827 Webster became editor of the Medical Recorder, which was published by his father, but resigned two years later when publication of this journal was merged with the American Journal of Medical Sciences (est. 1827). He was also associated with editing the U.S . Medical and Surgical Journal and edited the first American edition of one of John Hunter's treatises. Dr. Webster found Mr. Hunter's style inelegant and frequently obscure. 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �In 1834 he moved to New York City and acquired an enviable reputation. As a surgeon he was cautious because of his intimate knowledge of anatomy, and of the difficulties and dangers to be encountered. However, he was bold and prompt enough when the occasion demanded. He was particularly skillful as a lithotomist. When Dr. Willard Parker left Geneva Medical College in 1836, Dr. Webster was appointed to the chair of Anatomy and Physiology, and in addition, gave John G. Morgan's course in Surgery. He was appointed Professor of General and Special Anatomy in 1846 at the University of Buffalo and remained there until1851. It was in the lecture room that he appeared to greatest advantage, he was never so happy as when lecturing on his favorite subject -anatomy. It is interesting to note that at the trial for libel (1850) in the case of "Demonstrative Midwifery", Webster did not think it necessary to expose a woman during delivery. However, on cross examination he thought exposure might be useful. Dr. Webster and his family moved to Rochester in 1839 where they continued to live until two years before his death. This meant that from 1846 to 1851 he commuted to Geneva and Buffalo in order to give two courses of lectures in anatomy. Harvey Cushing said he was "the fat little fairy in the shape of the Professor of Anatomy, blunt in manner and very voluble" who in early November, 1847 shook a certain woman named Elizabeth Blackwell by the hand and said her plan was a capital one - "You'll make a stir, I can tell you." He was made emeritus professor of anatomy and physiology at Geneva Medical College a year before he died. Dr. Webster suffered from heart disease and died at Louisville, Kentucky, 18 July 1854 and was survived by an aged mother, his wife and four children. 0 References: 1. Coventry, C.B., Trans . Med.

In the health professions the rate of change is moving from an evolutionary to a revolutionary rate." That is what Dr. Calvin Hastings Plimpton, the third president of the Downstate Medical Center, said at the annual Medical School convocation. "You may not be able to see the change, but I see it." The physician continued, "Death is changing. It is acceptable. You can now talk about it. Death has been discovered. Someday you may even be able to die at home if you can get unhooked from the machine. There is even research in death toda& SUMMER, 1973 11 �Drs . Felix Milgram, Evan Calkins, Ronald G. Davidson "About 1970 a new group joined the revolution- the patientconsumer. He demanded his rights and wanted a voice in decision making. This tended to scare physicians. But these people just wanted to be helpful.· The consumer councils that have been formed are excellent. These people aren't going to tell the doctors whether to make vertical or horizontal incisions, but they do want a voice in whether we should expand their intensive care unit or their alcohol unit," Dr. Plimpton said. The educator told the students that medicine is no longer a very respected profession. "We have many sins. We have been autocratic too long. We are a split union with many specialties, and our supremacy is being challenged. This is good." The physician went on to say that we are about as callous as the Romans. "We do things in the same old way and there isn't much change in human nature." He told the future physicians that "we belong back at the bedside, comfortably in the armor of our starched white coat, with a folded stethoscope where the revolver used to hang." Dr. Plimpton described an "ideal" physician as a warm human being and a trained scientist. He also believes a good doctor is a teacher, as well as a healer, teaching his patient to live with his disease. "Students today think they are wiser, smarter, and more clever. But they aren't. The training is different and more sophisticated. You look like students of 100 years ago- with your long hair and beards." Dr. Plimpton said expectations aren't much different than they were 100 years ago. How do you achieve expectations? he asked. "Be good, reliable, and do little things yourself rather than call for the orderly. The more things you do for yourself the more interesting it is. Do one little act of kindness every day. Don't delegate. Do it yourself. The nice thing about medicine is the fact that you can do it yourself. "We in the health professions are indeed the 'imperial few' we are in the most fulfilling occupation that continually stimulates the very appetite it satisfies," he concluded. 0 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Coombs Dr. Mohn When the man who no longer travels received an invitation from Dr. James Mohn to come to Buffalo as the Third Annual Ernest Witebsky Memorial Lecturer, there was not a moment's hesitation. For Dr. Robin R. A. Coombs, who is the Quick Professor of Biology at the University of Cambridge in England, wanted to honor the man for whom he had "enormous respect and admiration." Although personal visits between the two immunology "giants" who lived many miles apart and who did not collaborate, were limited to but half a dozen, their relationship - dependent on correspondence - remained a source of inspiration and strength to the younger investigator who "so much modeled his approach to things to the kind of Witebsky thinking." Their first meeting in 1950 at the Biennial International Congress of the International Society of Hematology in Cambridge culminated in a "meeting of the minds" between the immunologist (whose test for detecting antibody coating of red cells in pre-transfusion testing and to diagnose hemolytic disease of the newborn was already well established) and "one of the world's greatest immunologists." Their last visit was in 1968 at the inauguration of the then new Center for Immunology over which Dr. Witebsky was to preside. Dr. Coombs presented the banquet address. In between times, personal ties between Drs. Coombs and Witebsky strengthened. Dr. Witebsky was named godfather to Rosalind Coombs (she is now 16). And his daughter Grace spent a summer in England with the Coombs. Keen-humored Dr. Coombs opened the Memorial Lecture with an early dictionary definition of rosettes and followed with a photo of what they really look like. He eased his way into a definition pertinent to immunology. With microphones that did not work, a makeshift pointer quickly assembled, graffiti adorning walls where sound deflectors had been removed (intersession appears to be housekeeping time on campus regardless of room reservations) Dr. Coombs, through beautiful line drawings, defined each of the existing rosetting techniques, what they can/cannot do, as well as its applications and pioneers. The 350 gathered in Capen's Butler Auditorium shared Dr. Coombs' enormous respect and admiration for the late Dr. Witebsky. The lecture was sponsored by the department of microbiology and The Center for Immunology. 0 SUMMER, 1973 13 Ernest Witebsky Memorial Lecturer Dr. Coombs pointed out in his banquet address that "immunology cannot be considered to be basic or fundamental to the other sciences as is obviously the case with chemistry, physics or biochemistry but it is perhaps uniquely characterized by the numerous intersections it has with other sciences besides pathology; with chemistry, biology, microbiology, genetics, hematology, and medicine, for instance figure I." The figure depicting this concept is being used on the cover of each issue of The Center for Immunology Journal, Immunological Communications. 0 - �Health Sciences Vice President THE PHYSICIAN who was the founding dean of the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio (1965-1972) is the new Vice President for Health Sciences at the University, effective July 1. He is Dr. F. Carter Pannill, a 51-year-old internist, who was also professor of medicine at San Antonio. He will replace Dr. Clyde L. Randall, who has held the position since November, 1970. In announcing the appointment, President Robert L. Ketter noted that "one of the goals of our Faculty of Health Sciences is to achieve a pre-eminent position in the area of health care delivery." He said that "Dr. Pannill's background as both an educator and administrator as well as a health care practitioner will be of immeasurable value in helping us to reach this goal." The Faculty of Health Sciences is the largest of seven academic divisions of the University and includes the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Health Related Professions. Born in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, Dr. Pannill received the B.A. in Spanish from Yale in 1942 and an M.D. from Yale University School of Medicine in 1945. He served in the United States Army Air Force for 21 months (April1946-December 1947). After completing his internship and residency in Houston, he joined the staff of the Baylor University College of Medicine, continuing there as assistant professor of medicine until1954. From 1954-60, he was engaged in the private practice of internal medicine in Corsicana, Texas. He served as associate professor of medicine at The Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital of Philadelphia from 1960-61, moving to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas as assistant dean for grants and sponsored research where he remained until accepting the San Antonio Post. He was also assistant professor of internal medicine at Dallas. Dr. Pannill is a Diplomate of the National Board of Medical Examiners and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. In 1961 he was the recipient of the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback award "For Excellence in Teaching" at Hahnemann Medical College. Dr. Pannill received the John and Mary R. Markle Foundation Award as a "Scholar in Academic Medicine" in 1962-1967. He is the author or co-author of articles on syphilis, alcoholism and medical education. Dr. and Mrs. Pannill have three children - Fitz, Jr., Mary and Elizabeth. 0 Dr. Pannill Discusses Plans "The search for a dean for the Medical School should start right away. It can't wait until I take office July 1. The School's been deanless too long." Finding "a strong, effective professional" to fill the Medical School vacancy tops the priority list of Dr. Fitzhugh Carter Pannill, Jr., the new next Vice President for Health Sciences. Pannill discussed this and other plans and concerns for the health sciences area during a three-day visit to the campus early in March, sandwiching an evening interview between meetings and 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �preliminaries to house-hunting. It's going to take a long time to find the right man for the School, Pannill predicts. The ideal candidate is someone with impeccable academic credentials who will be accepted without reservation as a faculty colleague. He will also need solid administrative experience, but Pannill thinks that the administrative-academic balance will tilt toward a solid research-publishing background. "Personally, I favor bringing someone in from the outside. It has been my experience that much stronger institutions develop when people whose primary experience has been in another institution are brought in," he said. Pannill assured that he would assist in the search in any way that he can, including suggesting names to the search committee and flying up from Texas to meet with candidates. Solidification of affiliation agreements with area hospitals is another pressing concern, Pannill said. The emphasis of current agreements is almost entirely on meeting the clinical needs of the medical and nursing schools. The educational requirements of other health science areas such as dentistry and pharmacy have to be recognized as well, he said, predicting that at least some of the present agreements will be rewritten. Pannill, who was founding dean of the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio from 1965 to 1972, is sensitive to a "certain insecurity among non-medical health professionals." To counter this locally, and to foster communication among the campus's health professionals, he favors organization of a health sciences-wide faculty body, perhaps an assembly, and a parallel organization for health sciences students. Pannill views cross-committee appointments as another way to counter the relative isolation of the health sciences schools. Asked about the division between the Medical School and the rest ofthe University, Pannill answers, "There's always a split. People hear more about it on this campus because of the proximity of the faculties." Continuous positive attempts at communication, including ongoing efforts to bring medical personnel into the life of the University as faculty members, are a partial solution, he says. This will be increasingly important as the rest of the University moves to the North Campus, he adds. The physical plant also presents an immediate concern. As boldly underscored by the recent accreditation report, present health sciences facilities fall critically short of minimum space requirements. Dentistry, for example, needs three times its present space allocation. A poor physical plant affects faculty morale, Pannill explains. Long-term improvement will come as the rest of the University vacates this campus, but the lack of concrete details about the planned conversion has been a problem. "People can put up with the most appalling working conditions as long as they can see the light at the end of the tunnel." Those concerned have to know exactly what's being planned, he says. Convinced this University has tremendous potential for future growth in health sciences and "challenged by the challenge," Pannill admits that the next few years will be relatively hard times for health education. Over the last ten or fifteen years most medical schools have tied themselves to Federal funding to the degree that recent and probably future government cutbacks threaten basic education(j-. SUMMER, 1973 15 Dr. Panni/J Patricia Ward Biederman interviewed Dr. Pannill and wrote this story that appeared (March 8) in the REPORTER, University Newspaper. �programs as well as formal research activity. "This University is not quite as dependent as some," but it too will feel the pinch. As a first project, the vice president-designate would like to initiate an ambulatory health care delivery system here. He envisions a cooperative program that encourages respectful peer relationships among all the health professionals involved. Ambulatory care and preventive medicine are special interests of the administrator. At San Antonio, Pannill developed a comprehensive family health care program with Federal funding that serves 8,000 poverty-level persons, mostly Mexican Americans who had previously known mostly "bus station medicine." Non-crisis care is a widely neglected area of most health education, Pannill says. "Students usually see only the acutely ill person and miss the really interesting phases of medicine," such as the social adjustment that must be made by the chronically ill. "They don't see the discharged patient re-structuring his life. "The good doctor knows about these things instinctively but he didn't learn them in medical school," Pannill says. Student health service facilities could be utilized in an experimental program in this area that would give advanced health care students an opportunity to study and deliver ambulatory care services and even to use them when the occasion arises. The health sciences curriculum must be studied constantly. It must not be allowed to solidify and become rigid, he says, endorsing, in medical education, experimentation with advanced placement, dual degree programs, and "personal educational timetables." 0 Committee to Select Dean The president of the Medical Alumni Association, Dr. Lawrence A. Golden, has been appointed to the 11-member search committee for a dean of the School of Medicine by President Robert L. Ketter. Dr. Golden is a clinical associate professor of medicine. Dr. Alan J. Drinnan, chairman of the Department of Oral Medicine in the U/B School of Dentistry, will chair the committee to find a successor to Dr. LeRoy A. Pesch who resigned as dean in December, 1971. Dr. Clyde L. Randall, vice president for health sciences, has been serving as acting dean since that time. In his charge to the committee, Dr. Ketter asked that they "carry out a national, even international search which will bring us the very finest medical educator available." Dr. Ketter's letter continued, "Obviously the Dean must possess the academic credentials in teaching and research that will command the respect of his colleagues. I am particularly concerned that we attract a communicator who possesses the skills of a diplomat; a person who can gather the faculty into a single unit, working for the betterment of the whole, while still recognizing that it is one of the major units of a still larger community - The State University of New York at Buffalo. 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"At the same time, we look for innovation and academic excellence. We must not fear or avoid change, nor should we change for change's sake," Dr. Ketter said. Other members of the Committee are: Dr. John C. Dower, acting chairman of the Department of Pediatrics; Paul Edwards, associate professor, School of Social Policy and Community Services; Dr. Leon E. Farhi, professor of physiology; Dr. Francis J. Klocke, professor of medicine; Miss Coletta A. Klug, associate professor of nursing; Dr. Felix Milgram, chairman, Department of Microbiology; Michael Sdao, 3rd year student, School of Medicine; Dr. Jui H. Wang, Einstein Professor of Biochemistry; and Reverend William Zenns, associate director of Catholic Charities. Dr. Ketter did not set a deadline for the Committee. 0 Dr. Grabau Retires A 25 year battle against tuberculosis has been most rewarding to a 1945 Medical School graduate. Dr. A. Arthur Grabau has seen the decline of the disease as a major public health problem in his 22 years as head of the Tuberculosis Control Division of the Erie County Health Department. He retired March 1. "For the first time the number of new active tuberculosis cases reported in Erie County for one year was below 200. In 1948 there were 1,136 recorded new cases and 248 deaths. Last year we had 198 new cases and only 19 deaths. This was my aim and the aim of all people working in tuberculosis control - to eliminate the disease as a health hazard," Dr. Grabau said. The clinical associate in social and preventive medicine at the Medical School estimated that at the turn of the century there was at least one case of tuberculosis in every family and about 95 per cent of the adult population was infected by the tuberculosis bacteria. Although drugs for treatment were available in the early 1950's, "there usually was a waiting period of about three months before a patient could get into a tuberculosis hospital. Patients often died before they could be admitted to the hospital." The State of New York once had seven tuberculosis hospitals. Now it has only one end it will soon close. The E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, which once had 250 beds for tuberculosis patients, now has only 40, according to Dr. Grabau. "We probably will get to a point where tuberculosis occurs sporadically, like typhoid fever. It is doubtful that we will ever be able to eliminate the tuberculosis bacteria from our environment," Dr. Grabau concluded. 0 SUMMER, 1973 17 �A Clinical Rheumatology Service Dr. Raymond Partridge. To some extent a majority of the population over 65 has felt the effects of musculoskeletal pain due to arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions. However all ages may suffer from inflammatory arthritis, especially rheumatoid arthritis. The cost to both patient and family - who must continue to care for the disabled - may be astronomical in terms of loss of employment, suffering, soaring cost of medical care, and social restraints. In 1968 Dr. Raymond Partridge joined a arthritis/immunology group at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital headed by Dr. Thomas Tomasi. With NIH support, he started a clinical study and research center, an adjunct to the arthritis clinic initiated by Dr. L. Maxwell Lockie back in 1933. (Dr. Lockie was also instrumental in starting similar clinics at the Buffalo General and Children's Hospitals). 18 The rheumatology unit, as it is called, is also used for clinical research and for teaching medical students, fellows and residents. "We use a team approach," Dr. Partridge said, "in our care of the patient." Not only is the physician, orthopedic surgeon, social worker, physical and occupational therapist involved, but health nurse and aide in the home care program as well. "We diagnose, treat, and try to maintain maximum function with the least amount of pain for the patient who suffers from rheumatic disease," the British-born and educated physician said. "And early diagnosis is important if we are to prevent the worst effects of disease from occurring." The unit has a 12-bed inpatient facility, access to large laboratory facilities to study the disease, and two outpatient clinics - one for arthritides and the other for connective tissue and immunologic diseases. Clinic visits run about 3000 a year. There are 250-300 new patients annually. Additional clinics developed as it became more and more apparent that one physician could not handle all of the problems arising in the care of patients. "We are now able to draw on expertise in several areas at our combined arthritis/orthopedic clinic held monthly with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Theodore Papademetriou. Here we can assess the need for corrective surgery in treating arthritis," the assistant professor of medicine said. And there is a weekly immunology clinic with dermatologist Dr. Thomas Provost and immunologist Dr. Charles Singleton. An identical team approach is used to care for children who suffer mostly from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis, systemic lupus, and other musculoskeletal disorders. It is at Western New York's only clinic for arthritis and connective tissue disease in children originally headed at the Children's Hospital by Dr. Kenneth Herd and now by Dr. Partridge. Here, longterm followup/care of a growing patient with arthritis is even more important than in the adult disease. "We not only educate the child but his family," said Dr. Partridge THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Dr. Partridge looks at the uric acid crystals in synovial fluid taken from a patient with gout. who is also trying to develop some useful immunological tests for more accurate diagnosis. For those who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, "early treatment can free the patient from much of his pain," the rheumatologist pointed out. Agents used are aspirin, gold, antimalarials, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive drugs. While drugs may be used to control the inflammatory process over a long period, Dr. Partridge cautions that with some drugs the development of toxic reactions may be a significant barrier to continued use. Drugs alone, he pointed out, are no substitute for adequate physicaVsurgical methods of treatment. "The most functional good that we can do for the patient is to prevent deformity in all destructive arthritis. In chronic arthritis of any type the patient becomes crippled when deformities develop, particularly in weight bearing joints. Prevention and correction of existing deformity is therefore of prime importance in maintaining function," he said. To do this he may add programs such as splinting and exercise to maintain muscle power and range of motion for the patient. If deformity or joi(j-+ One of the relatively new things going on in the treatment of rheumatology -a total knee/joint replacement -is examined by Dr. Partridge.

For the patient who suffers from diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, there is hope for slowing the rate of joint destruction, and in the case of gout, preventing it from occurring. Under Dr. Partridge visits one rheumatoid arthritis. of his patients with 20 longterm evaluation is a group of patients with systemic lupus erythematosis whose prognosis has been improved through early diagnosis and treatment. There are also longterm followup studies on groups of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other connective tissue diseases as well. The approach to better treatment and therapy for the patient is a multifaceted one -through research, its clinical application, and teaching. Not only is Dr. Partridge beginning to take a closer look at aspirin, its interactions with other drugs and how to increase its effectiveness, but he is assessing three new trial drugs, reevaluating the metabolism of gold, exploring reconstruction through the route of surgery, and evaluating some of the new prostheses being used on patients who have undergone joint destruction. A number of the research programs are collaborative efforts with other University departments. Has the comprehensive program for patients suffering from rheumatic conditions had a major impact? "Yes," says Dr. Partridge, "perhaps over a short period of time. There is no way of our knowing over the long run what the effect may be. Hopefully in the course of at least some of our patients' disease, our impact has been a major one." 0 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �A bi-partisan group of 15 U. S. Senators has introduced legislation that would continue the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program at least until June 30, 1974. The LARMP region covers seven Western New York and two Northwestern Pennsylvania counties. In 1972 the LARMP received $2.5 million in federal funds. The money is spent to solve what a group of representative health professionals and consumers from the LARMP region believe are the principal health problems of this area. Some examples of what the LARMP has done to improve the region's health are: -Funds provided to establish a radio communications network linking all police and fire departments, fire, base stations, hospitals and transit authorities. This is designed to improve and coordinate emergency medical services in Erie County and eventually the region. In addition an associated Medical Emergency Technician Training program (MET) will train 5,000 ambulance and rescue squad attendants over a three-year period. - I t has trained 325 nurses in coronary and pulmonary care throughout the region. This training program is considered one of the best in the nation. - Programs to improve existing skills of health personnel have benefitted 1,704 physicians, 10,157 nurses and 3,752 other health personnel during the period 1970-1973. -The development of new skills in existing health personnel during the same 1970-1973 period, have benefitted 905 nurses, indirectly responsible for training additional groups to eventually serve an estimated 1,070,551 in the region. -A mobile health unit, purchased for Allegany County, New York has provided necessary health assessments for many of the county's 46,000 population, who otherwise would have no health care at all due in part to the lack of physicians and accessibility to health facilities. -In just three years 102 health sciences students have been placed in the rural communities of the region under the Rural Externship Program, providing them an opportunity to work and live in a rural area where health manpower is scarce. Their summer experience may encourage them to settle in one of these areas after graduation. - A special telephone lecture network connecting hospitals in the region has been used to meet the educational and training needs of over 60,000 health professionals during its four years of operation. - The LARMP-supported Lake Area Health Education Center in Erie, Pennsylvania has initiated area-wide education and training programs for providers and consumers in a wide range of continuing professional education programs to improve its quality and number of health manpower. - An information dissemination service, funded by LARMP, has made it possible for thousands of health personnel, especially physicians and researchers, to obtain library services such as reference requests, book loans, photocopy requests for journal articles, bibliographic searches, etc., without time-consuming searches for the materials. D SUMMER, 1973 21 LARMP Accomplishments The LARMP will receive $750,000 to keep eight of its projects operational until February 14, 1974, according to HEW. The projects to be extended are - Chronic Respiratory Disease Program, Telephone Lecture Network, Tumor Service Registry, Model Program for Comprehensive Family Health, Allegany County Mobil Health Unit, Emergency Medical Services, Rural Externship Program and the Lakes Area Health Education Center in Erie, Pa. �Medical Information System T HE UNIVERSITY will hook its computer medical information system into the system operated by the Federal government, according to Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer. The State University has a $240,000 annual contract with the National Library of Medicine for the hookup. The Federal system, called Medline, permits physicians and researchers throughout the United States, Canada, and France to search a list of 400,000 titles indexed from 1200 major medical journals. The state system, called the Biomedical Communication Network, serves several universities and medical schools (including U B) on the Eastern Seaboard and in the Midwest. With the two systems working a physician, medical librarian, medical student or other health professional can retrieve almost instantaneously references to the latest journal articles in his area of interest. As part of the total system, the University computer activated on February 15, 40 inquiry lines through which Medline users can retrieve information via a typewriter-like terminal at a member medical library. These are in addition to the 50 lines in use at the Federal computer in Bethesda, Md. According to C. K. Huang, director of the U/B Health Sciences Library, a Medline terminal is currently being installed in the Capen library where library staff are completing a training course for the system's use. The Library already houses three similar terminals of the SUNY Biomedical Communications Network. At peak periods the expanded Medline system will have the capability of five-second response to requests for information by 90 simultaneous users. Some 140 medical libraries in major cities throughout the country have terminal access to the Medline system service. Four participating medical libraries in France and Canada use the system. Under terms of the contract with the National Library of Medicine, State University will also play a major role in further expansion, development and improvement of the Medline network. It is expected that the information system will gradually expand to a capability of providing service to 250 medical centers and other users, such as hospitals and clinics in the United States and overseas. Dr. Boyer said State University was chosen to back up and help expand the Federal system because of its seven years of experience and success with its own pioneering Biomedical Communications Network. Computer techniques used in biomedical bibliographic retrieval were initally researched and developed by SUNY starting in 1966. By 1968, its Biomedical Communications Network began providing service to eight users, including Buffalo, from headquarters in Syracuse. Following a move to Albany and a change in software, the Network now serves 24 major medical centers in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and other states as well as New York. U/B is the heaviest user (in terms of completed searches) of this 24-unit system. Close to 3,000 searches were performed here last year, and this year that number will be exceeded, Huang predicts. From a user's point of view, the retrieval system for both the University's Network and Federal Medline is essentially the same. By "conversing" with either the computer in Albany or Bethesda via a typewriter-like terminal, connected through telephone lines, 22 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �a physician, medical librarian, medical student or other health professional is able to retrieve almost instantaneous references to the latest journal articles in his area of interest. In a matter of seconds the inquirer is directed to the locations of these articles in his own or member libraries. The process eliminates manual searches which in the past have consumed hours and sometimes days. A comparable manual search is more costly as well as more time-consuming. A machine search can be completed for approximately one-fourth the cost of a manual search. The Biomedical system offers the option of searching by author, subject and title of article, and Medline by author and subject. The University will continue to expand and provide concurrent service to the 24 major medical centers using its Biomedical Network, which provides on-line access to a base of 1. 7 million journal articles published in 2,300 medical journals in many languages. Chancellor Boyer pointed out that the implications of the combined service to the medical profession extends far beyond the libraries and major medical centers where Medline and Biomed terminals are now located. As the Medline services expand and become increasingly more available to members of hospital staffs and practicing physicians, the Chancellor said, the value of the system in terms of local patient care will be strengthened accordingly. Until then practicing physicians in urban and rural areas can telephone the library of the medical center in their area and request searches of information in a particular field. Eventually, the Medline information retrieval potential to the entire U.S. Medical community will be as close as its telephone, Dr. Boyer predicts. 0 Medical Alumni Receptions Since its inception in July, 1969 as a part of our alumni program, 523 alumni have attended cocktail receptions hosted by the Medical Alumni Association. These receptions are open to all alumni, faculty and friends of the Medical School. The following receptions are planned for 1973: American Medical Association June 24-28, 1973- New York City American Association of Obstetricians & Gynecologists September 6-8, 1973- Hot Springs, Virginia American College of Surgeons October 15-19, 1973- Chicago, Illinois We invite your attendance.

Noble, director of the hospital's department of alcoholism . A New Approach to Treating Chronic Alcoholism Dr. Mahendra Mirani takes care of medical problems that crop up. The "hub" of the department. 24 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �\ I T HERE IS A NEW APPROACH to treating chronic alcholism, the nation's number one addiction problem, at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. "This new approach begins by tying the treatment of the disease - its medical I social I psychiatric I rehabilitation aspects - into one serviceable package of care for the patient," says Dr. Earl W. Noble, director of the hospital's department of alcoholism, "and it continues with planning some real aftercare and followup once the patient is discharged from the hospital." From the moment that the chronic alcoholic is assigned by the hospital's admissions department to the 30-bed inpatient detoxification facility (four rooms reserved for women, the remaining 26 for men), one individual, a patient management coordinator, will follow the patient through his hospital stay. During what will probably be an average ten-day stay, the assigned counselor, who may be any member of the health care team - from supervising psychiatric social worker, internist, psychiatrist, rehabilitation counselor, mental health worker, nurse, supervising social worker, program administrator to chaplain - will coordinate all of the services necessary for that particular patient. "Our philosophy is to help anyone who wants to be helped," said John Cole, executive director of clinics for the department of alcoholism at the Meyer. "We want to teach the patient to avoid the misuse or abuse of alcohol, to make him as totally productive in society as is possible." The detoxification process - the patient is drawn away from alcohol through the use of other drugs- usually takes about five days. Following this other health care team members also become involved in helping the patient who, as soon as he or she is able to be up and around, will attend group meetings, may join others in the recreation room to watch television, participate in the planned bingo, shuffleboard activities, etc., utilize the hospital gym or occupational therapy center. There are daily meetings with the patient management counselors to see that everything that can be done is being done, meetings three times weekly with Alcoholics Anonymous representatives as well as open discussions with volunteers who visit the inpatient facility. Not only does the patient learn about what he must do to handle his disease of chronic alcoholism, but team members learn as well. At numerous weekly meetings there is an exchange of information on all patients as well as a sharing of difficult medical and rehabilitation problems. Others learn about alcoholism as well junior and senior medical students through elective opportunities and hospital nursing students during their training. When the patient is ready for discharge a program of aftercare is carefully planned that will best fit the particular needs of the patien~ Team members exchange information on patients and share difficult medical/rehabilitation problems.

" Some may be assigned to one of two outpatient clinics for long term treatment. One is in the hospital proper. The other, community based, is in the downtown core area. Both clinics are open daily from nine to five and there are evening hours by appointment. Again there is a team approach in the individual as well as group counseling sessions. For medical problems that may crop up in the downtown clinic there is one full-time and a half-time physician available to look after the patient's needs. Other patients may be referred to either the State Hospital or "to what best fits the patient's particular needs," stressed Dr. Noble. "We want to help the patient to reorder his life by creating a living situation in which he can best function." It is too early to judge the effectiveness of the program. However among the optimistic signs are the increasing number of requests for consultations from other parts of the hospital and more than half the admissions to the service, whom have never before been seen. The program is funded in part by a threeyear $600,000 grant from the State of New York, Department of Mental Hygiene's Division of Alcoholism. 0 26 Dr. St eve n M.

Vijayashankar and Brody examine a section of human brain. of aging includes those changes, genetically determined, progressive, and generally irreversible, which occur in an organism with time. Its effects on the nervous system has absorbed Dr. Harold Brody since his arrival in Buffalo back in 1954 as assistant professor in anatomy. And it continues to absorb the department chairman (he was appointed a year ago) who has contributed to both national and international endeavors. The former associate dean for student affairs (1969-70), and two prior years as acting assistant dean, is a member of the White House Conference on Aging's Technical Committee on Research and Demonstration. He has served as chairman of the American Biology Research Committee for the International Association of Gerontology held last summer in Kiev, Russia and as vice-president of the research-oriented Gerontological Society whose major goal is to make man's later years both healthier and happier. He is also a member of the American Aging Society's Board of Trustees. What really spurred the then new Ph.D graduate (University of Minnesota, 1953) who had completed a four-year assistant professorship at the University of North Dakota (1950-54) was the confusing picture on aging one obtained from the literature. There were no quantitative studies in the human which could be correlated with functional changes common in the elderly. "Few of the statements regarding central nervous system changes made by wellknown neurologists and neuropathologists were backed by investigative work" he recalls. There were no investigations underway on either the proportion or differentiation of cell decrease in various areas of the cerebral cortex. Dr. Brody set out to explore the knowledge of aging in the nervous system of the human, its quantitative changes and how they relate to cell function. Over the next two decades the differential effect of aging in the human continued to occupy much of his time. In between he completed medical studies at U.B. (1961), was awarded a National Science Foundation Travel Award to the Fourth International Gerontological Congress held in 1957 in Merano, Italy, and was a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar during 1963 at the Kommune Hospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark. What he found, after surveying many areas of the cortex of the human, was a loss of cells- about 30 percent- between the ages of 20 to 90 particularly in the frontal and temporal lobes. "What this loss means in terms of man's activity, function, behavior are now being examined at a number of research centers both in this country and abroad," Dr. Brody said. In current studies of the human brain stem, with collaborator, Dr. N. Vijayashankar, he has demonstrated very little change in cell number with age. The two Buffalo anatomists are attempting to explain the difference in response of cortex/brain stem structures to increasing age. They have also turned their attention to electron microscopic studies of the synapse lipofuscin, the so-called " aging pigment" as well as microcirculation of the brain as its relates to the aging process. Dr. Brody, who received the 1961 Medentian Award (dedication of the UB medical/dental school yearbook) has published extensively in the field of aging in the nervous system and has reviewed for the Journal of Gerontology, Science, and Journal of Morphology. Now associate editor of the Journal of Gerontology, he heads its biological sciences section. D 30 PROCESS THE BUFFALO PHYSICIA �A Problem Solving Approach to Teaching T HERE IS A different look to learning in the physiology department. It is through a computerized problem-solving approach where stu- dents can find out how well they have assimilated the concepts of respiratory physiology presented to them in both lectures and laboratory sessions. Through a series of exercises painstakingly prepared by Drs. Harold Modell, Albert Olszowka and Leon Farhi, interested students (it is not homework) can check on their progress. Some of the exercises are in simple question and answer format. Others simulate an experiment, a clinical situation or a combination of both. It takes minimal technical knowhow of computers to operate any one of six terminals set up in the physiology laboratory, Dr. Farhi points out. Three afternoons a week, we are available to help students add their own variants to a program, test a preparation or treat a "patient" in any way he chooses via the computer. From background material, a student receives a brief description of the physiology involved in a program as well as its goals. From operating instructions, he learns how to "load" the program, the variable values needed, how to express and to change them. The instructor "gets the student on the air" by connecting the terminal to the computer. The student then communicates with the computer via the terminal keyboard that is as easy to operate as that of a typewriter. No math background is required. By trying a few programs, "it is hoped that we can help a student find out whether he has assimilated material well enough to apply it," Dr. Farhi said. When the student supplies the right answer to the question/answer exercises, the program goes on to the next question. If not, some guidance is given as well as a second chance. If the response is still not the right one, the proper answer is derived for the student. In the set of exercises describing a specific experiment or clinical situation the student must decide whether his input and the computer's response seem reasonable. If not, he must try additional input values. The student who supplies several different values for input will detect/observe trends and, Dr. Farhi feels, will obtain maximal benefit from the program. A suggested procedure points out a possible response to student input of important aspects of the physiological system. And, Dr. Farhi points out, the study of validity/limitations of shortcuts, simplified assumptions often suggested in a program, may be the object of another exercise that the student will run. Is this problem solving approach working? Some students are spending part of their spring vacation "talking" to the computers. One department faculty member feels that "we may not know until the end of the semester whether the student has been helped." From the feedback sheet onto which the student is asked to evaluate the system, may come some of the answers. 0 SUMMER, 1973 31 Dr. Farhi explains how to use the computer. �"W Medical Care Must Be Improved Dr. Janeway is the Thomas Morgan Rotch professor of pediatrics at the Harvard Medical School and physicianin-chief, Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston. He was Alpha Omega Alpha visiting professor and lecturer in January. This is a summary of his address, "The Decline of Primary Medical Care: An Unforeseen Consequence of the Flexner Report," given at Kinch Auditorium, Children's Hospital, Buffalo. E MUST EXPAND and improve our medical care system so it blends scientific sophistication with intelligent and human concern. This is the great challenge of the 1970's," a Harvard pediatrician said. Dr. Charles A. Janeway contends that "America's major hospitals have become the world's best for the care of life-threatening disease. But primary health care for the bulk of our population has been steadily deteriorating. This situation can and must be changed." The Harvard professor believes the current situation is an unforeseen consequence of the Flexner Report of 1910 which provided the basis for modern, specialized medical training- a consequence which has been reinforced by the more recent Federal policy of providing support monies primarily for medical research. Dr. Janeway identified four festering problems of our medical care system: 1. The shortage of personnel to meet what the public considers its health needs. 2. The high costs of medical care, which have unquestionably been pushed up by the paradoxical effect of the major voluntary health insurance system (Blue Cross -Blue Shield). This system encourages admission to the hospital, which is paid for, rather than ambulatory care, which in general is not, because it is cheaper for the patient and easier and more remunerative for the physician- despite the fact that it costs society more. 3. The differences in health and medical services available to the more affluent segment of our society as contrasted with those available to the urban and rural poor, whose health needs are greater, and 4. The general unwillingness of the medical profession to accept consumer participation in the planning and organization of medical care. These problems, Dr. Janeway said, have aroused increasing public concern, and created pressures for changes in medical education to emphasize the training of family physicians and a better distribution of health personnel and facilities. "A primary health care system manned by physicians is the ultimate answer," Dr. Janeway said. "Whether such groups should consist of properly-trained family physicians, teams consisting of internists and pediatricians or a combination of all three can only be determined by trial. I believe there will be a place for all of these in a primary care system in view of the diversity of tastes and personality among physicians and patients. It is essential that both the patient be satisfied and the physician happy in his work, if the quality of medical care is to be maintained. "The groups must also make use of other health professionals -nurse practitioners, physicians' associates, physicians' assistants, ex-medical corpsmen, social workers, community aides, and community advocates. It is essential that there be room for experimentation, lack of rigidity while maintaining standards , and opportunities for people with proven ability to move up the ladder of health careers even if their formal educational background is suboptimal, if we are to reduce the costs of medical care, meet our urgent need for greater health manpower, and overcome the cultural barriers between health providers and the poor minority groups in greatest need of care." 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �Whatever its final make-up, however, the field of primary health care, Dr. Janeway said, must become a specialty in its own right - a specialty devoted to health promotion, identification of individuals at special risk, early detection of serious disease, the management of acute emergencies, and the ability to render continuing care to chronically ill patients. 0 Rural Extern Program At least 25 medical students will be among the 40 health sciences students participating in the third annual Rural Extern Program this summer. The students will again be assigned to preceptors in the rural communities of Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. In 1972, 35 students participated in the program; in 1971, 22 students participated. The 8-week assignment will allow students to get first hand experience in living and working in rural areas where health manpower is usually scarce: It is hoped that some of the students will want to practice in these areas after graduation. Mr. William D. Crage, director of the program, said that students in the fields of medicine, dentistry, nursing, nutrition, pharmacy, physical therapy, medical technology and podiatry are being recruited to participate. Each student receives a weekly stipend and will work directly with a health professional in one of the rural communities. The program is supported with funds provided by the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program, the Appalachian Regional Commission and local community contributions. Counties that make up the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program region include Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara and Wyoming in Western New York and Erie and McKean in Pennsylvania. 0 Center for Immunology Hosts Course The Center for Immunology will host the third biennial course on current methods of immunological research and diagnosis from July 16 through August 3, according to Dr. Stanley Cohen acting director of The Center. The course will consist of practical laboratory exercises supplemented by demonstrations, lectures and discussions designed to provide the participant with a survey of presently available methodology and insight into the underlying immunological principles. The topics will include: gel precipitation techniques, passive agglutination, immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase procedures, radioimmunoassays, complement fixation tests, determination of complement mixed agglutination, tissue typing, blood group determination and compatibility testing, and in vitro assays for delayed hypersensitivity. 0 SUMMER, 1973 33 �Dr. Ehrlich examines a patient. The Navy's Pediatric Surgeon A 1963 Medical School graduate is head of pediatric surgery at the Portsmouth, Virginia Naval Hospital. He is Commander Frank Ehrlich who believes he may be the only specially trained pediatric surgeon in any branch of the military. "My early training was in general surgery. But I've always been interested in the illnesses and diseases of children. When the Navy offered me the chance for specialized training in pediatric surgery, I took them up on it. It may sound corny, but I want to help children; it's that simple." The Navy doctor believes that general surgeons, for too long, have thought of children as adults. "This is an error in thought," he said. Diseases and illnesses can affect a child's growth and development. When pediatric surgeons operate, they approach their work with that in mind. General surgeons don't face growth problems when operating on adults. Besides the physical, there are psychological differences between children and adults. Children are often frightened by the environment of the hospital." Following an internship at Boston City Hospital, Dr. Ehrlich served a four-year surgery residency at the Boston Naval Hospital in Chelsea, Massachusetts. Prior to his current assignment (August 1972) he completed two years as a pediatric surgery resident and teaching fellow at the Pittsburgh Children's Hospital in Pennsylvania. This residency was spent learning to operate a la miniature. His 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �superiors understood he was already a trained surgeon. He became skilled enough to cope with the ancillary problems pediatric surgeons face. And most of what he learned wasn't found in a textbook, but working the hospital's wards. "You try to deal with children as individuals," he said. That meant Dr. Ehrlich had to take an extra few minutes to pick up and cuddle a baby scheduled for major surgery the next morning, or maybe talk over a little baseball with the 8-year-old appendectomy patient. "Parents sometimes bring their own special problems to a physician. More often than not, you have a set of parents who are as frightened as their child. Many parents have guilt feelings because their child is sick. This emotion is especially true in parents of babies born with hereditary problems." Dr. Ehrlich takes a rather unorthodox approach when he records medical history of his patients. Whenever possible he gets most of his information from the child. "I tend to get more accurate history from the child, especially between 8 and 12 years. But even if I don't get the information from the child, I'll take the history from the parents in the child's presence. If you make a child leave the room so you can talk to his parents in private, you frighten him and there is no reason to do that." 0 THE has been denied a seven-year accreditation status by the National Association of Medical Colleges, but has been accredited for three years. The Association will make its next "site visit" in 1975. President Robert L. Ketter said that lack of teaching space and inadequate size of the Health Sciences Library were the main objections cited in the interim report. A team of the Association was on campus for a three-day visit in October, 1972. A final report will be issued later this year. The Medical School received its last accreditation in 1965. At that time Dr. Ketter said, the Association had not ruled on certain conditions because the Medical School was going to be at the Amherst Campus. Since that time, however, a decision was made to keep the Medical School at its present location on the Main Street Campus. President Ketter has announced plans to enlarge the Health Sciences Library and move it into the basement and first two floors of the Tower Dormitory by the end of this year. The National Association of Medical Colleges also asked for progress reports on the following: the role of faculty in governance; reimbursement to affiliated hospitals for educational expenses; administrative relatior.ships with UB; long-range curriculum planning and evaluation; and long-range planning for the ultimate location of the basic sciences and health science complex. 0 MEDICAL SCHOOL SUMMER. 1973 35 Medical School Accreditation �Lasker Awards Dr. Holland was recently appointed professor and chairman of the newly created department of neoplastic disease at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine of the City University of New York. He will also be director of the Cancer Center at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. Two Roswell Park Memorial Institute physicians are among 16 who shared the 1972 Albert Lasker Medical Research Awards for drug treatment of cancer patients. They are Drs. James F. Holland, chief of medicine A and director of the Cancer Clinical Research Center and Edmund Klein, chief of the dermatology department. Both physicians are research professors of medicine at the Medical School. Dr. Holland, who is in Moscow for seven months as the first chief medical liaison officer between the National Cancer Institute and the Soviet Union, was cited for his outstanding leadership of Acute Leukemia Group B, a cooperative, international group of physicians and scientists whose investigations have increased the life expectancy of children with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Dr. Klein was honored for new techniques of drug treatment which not only achieve a cure rate up to 95 per cent in patients with skin cancer but also spur the body to marshall its own defenses against such cancer. Also honored for his contributions in this area was Dr. Eugene J. Van Schott, professor of dermatology at the Skin and Cancer Hospital at Temple University in Philadelphia. The citation to Dr. Klein states: "Dr. Edmund Klein pioneered in the development of local chemotherapy of tumors of the skin as a new treatment modality in over 500 patients, with an aggregate of more than 15,000 neoplastic lesions, and observation periods in excess of five years. He adapted known general systemic anti-cancer chemicals for the eradication of premalignant and superficial malignant tumors of the skin, which resulted in a cure rate of up to 95 per cent in these patients. He was responsible, therefore, for an important new therapeutic weapon, particularly for those skin cancers which were so situated that they could not be treated effectively by surgery or radiotherapy. "Through Dr. Klein's method of topical application, healing of the skin cancers usually occurs with no scarring, and normal tissue is left unharmed. This treatment has been successful even against some basal cell and some squamous cell carcinomas. Dr. Klein expanded his studies to demonstrate that immunologic factors could be manipulated to control malignant disease in animals and in man. His observations have pointed the way to the justification for great expansion of immunotherapy alone, or in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of cancer in man. Dr. Klein's pioneering and persistent efforts have extended, to an important degree, the therapeutic attack on cancer." The citation to Dr. Holland reads as follows: "Dr. James F. Holland, as Chairman of Acute Leukemia Group B, a cooperative, international group of physicians and scientists, has provided the outstanding leadership for the Group's investigations which has resulted in increasing the life expectancy of children with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Since 1956, the Group has studied 1538 patients with this disease. In 1956 only 30 per cent of children lived one year from the onset of their disease. Now 90 per cent do. "In 1956, only 4 per cent lived four years from the start of their disease. Now in 1972 more than 40 per cent of such children live as long as four years. In 1966, out of 267 children who started treatment then, 27 per cent have survived 5 years. In another group of 55 children treated in 1966, 9 are still alive and well, without evidence of disease, four years or more after completion of the last drug treatment. 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �"In one segment of a program started in 1968, 33 children were treated in a new regimen of combination therapy. Twenty-nine have survived since 1968, and the projected probable survival rate among them appears to be the most favorable in the Group's experience to date. "Dr. Holland's success in leadership is based upon his great clinical skill, and his outstanding ability in clinical investigation." The three other physicians honored for their work in acute lymphatic leukemia were: Dr. Emil Frei III, physician in chief of the Children's Cancer Research Foundation in Boston and professor of medicine at Harvard; Dr. Emil J. Freireich, professor of medicine at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute in Houston; he was also cited for developing isolation techniques to protect cancer patients from infection; and Dr. Donald Pinkel, medical director of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. Three doctors were cited for their contributions in Hodgkin's Disease. They were: Dr. Paul Carbone and Dr. Vincent T. DeVita Jr., both of the National Cancer Institute and Dr. Frei. Two doctors - Dr. Min Chiu Li, director of medical research at Nassau Hospital in New York, and Dr. Roy Hertz, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at New York Medical College in Valhalla- were cited for their discovery of a chemical cure for choriocarcinoma. Those honored for their contributions in Burkitt's Lymphoma were Dr. Denis Burkitt, surgeon at the Medical Research Council in London, (who first identified this tumor); Dr. Joseph H. Burchenal, director of clinical investigation at Memorial Hospital in New York City; Dr. John L. Ziegler of the National Cancer Institute and director of the Uganda Cancer Institute in Kampala, and Dr. V. Anomah Ngu, professor of surgery at the Center of Health Sciences in the United Republic of Cameroun. Dr. Isaac Djerassi, director of research hematology at Mercy Catholic Medical Center at Darby, Pa., was a Lasker winner for perfecting techniques for transfusing blood platelets and white blood cells into cancer patients who lacked them. Each of the 15 winners received a $2,000 honorariam. In addition Dr. C. Gordon Zubrod, director of the division of cancer treatment at the National Cancer Institute received a $5,000 special award for his administrative leadership in creating "an effective national cancer chemotherapy program." The 16 winners represent a departure in the presentation of the Lasker awards, which are usually given annually by the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation to two researchers, a basic scientist and a clinician. The selection of cancer chemotherapy as the subject of this year's awards reflects the significant progress made in recent years in the use of drugs to cure some previously fatal cancers, as well as to prolong the useful lives of victims of other cancers. The researchers honored have worked on the treatment of acute lymphatic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, Burkitt's lymphoma, choriocarcinoma and skin cancers. By calling attention to the success of drugs in these areas, the Lasker Foundation hopes to stimulate further efforts to apply chemotherapy to the leading cancer killers in this country, cancer of the lung, breast and colon. The foundation also wants to make the successes in cancer-chemotherapy more widely known to the public and to practicing physicians, with th(:t+ SUMMER, 1973 37 Dr. Holland Dr. Klein �hoped-for result that more patients will receive the benefits of the latest advances in treatment. In giving the awards for cancer chemotherapy, Mrs. Lasker, whose husband died of cancer in 195 2, underscored her longstanding political interest in cancer research. She played a major role in securing the passage of the new National Cancer Act, which provides for greatly expanded funds and facilities for cancer research and treatment. 0 UB Will Lease Space at BGH The University plans " to lease a substantial amount of space" for the Health Sciences teaching programs at the Buffalo General Hospital. The new space will be designed and constructed especially for the University and the five Health Sciences schools as part of the hospital's planned expansion and modernization program. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 1974. Following is President Robert L. Ketter's letter of intent (Feb. 26, 1973) to Mr. Harlan J. Swift, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Buffalo General Hospital. More than 100 years ago The Buffalo General Hospital and the University of Buffalo, now the State University of New York at Buffalo, formed the first working partnership which existed in Buffalo and Western New York between the University and a hospital to work cooperatively toward the mutual goals of teaching, clinical service, research, the training of physicians and surgeons, advanced professional and specialist training, and the expansion of medical knowledge through the joint efforts of university and hospital capabilities applied to the care and treatment of the sick and injured. This relationship has continued to grow until today the Buffalo General Hospital provides a major clinical base and has continued to be one of the principal teaching hospitals of the University. Over the years the University and the Hospital have worked together to develop programs and facilities for properly carrying out these responsibilities. They have made, for example, significant additions to their professional staffs and programs which reflect the changes and increasing importance of various sectors of the Health Science disciplines. In addition, the Hospital has made changes in and expanded its physical plant to provide a proper clinical base and the supportive facilities to implement and carry out mutual programs. The Hospital has recently begun a new expansion of its physical facilities and the Hospital and the University have continued to review the nature of the programs involved and the extent of the University's commitment to the provision of the n ecessary physical facilities . Concurrently, the University and the Hospital have undertaken to review the agreements existing between them for the purpose of more clearly defining and updating their professional staff relationships and the development of an agreement designating the Hospital as an affiliated teaching hospital of the State University 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �of New York at Buffalo to serve as a learning center for the students of the University and as a center for further training and continuing education for the professional staff of the Hospital in the Health Science disciplines in the care and treatment of patients. It is the purpose of this letter to indicate the intention of the State University of New York at Buffalo to enter into an Affiliation Agreement establishing and defining the professional relationships and designating The Buffalo General Hospital as an affiliated teaching hospital of the University and to enter into further agreements with The Buffalo General Hospital to lease University dedicated space within the Hospital, specifically designed and constructed to meet the unique educational requirements of the University which, because of its proximity and access to the clinical programs of Buffalo General Hospital, has particular educational and teaching significance. In addition, the University anticipates the development of a formula and a contractual arrangement to relieve the Hospital of some portion of the cost of its clinical operations directly attributable to the University's presence in the Hospital, including the leased University dedicated space. The space to be assigned to the University has been or will be developed on the basis of programs, plans and specifications prepared and approved jointly by the University and the Hospital. It should also be understood that to the extent the Hospital shall be able to secure fees and other funds and/or fees and other funds are available for either its capital costs or for the reduction of any cost or deficit in its clinical operations, payments by the University to the Hospital shall be reduced correspondingly. While it should be recognized that the State University of New York cannot legally be bound until an affiliation agreement and a lease are duly executed by the appropriate State officials, we propose to enter into negotiations immediately to finalize and to secure the execution of such documents. Accordingly, I have directed Clyde L. Randall, M. D., Vice President for Health Sciences, and Mr. John D. Telfer, Vice President for Facilities Planning, and their staffs at the University, to work with Theodore T. Jacobs, M.D., President, The Buffalo General Hospital, and his staff to develop the programs, plans, specifications and legal documents necessary to accomplish these objectives. I have further directed that this Letter of Intent be incorporated by reference into both the Affiliation Agreement and the lease agreement or other legal documents which may be necessary to cover the academic and operational relationships and the use of facilities between ourselves. These documents collectively will then constitute the basis on which we can build for the future. As we start our second century of working in close cooperation the State University of New York at Buffalo looks forward to a long and continuing affiliation with The Buffalo General Hospital in the accomplishment of our mutual goal - the creation of a Center at which the development of innovative and significant programs for the training of physicians and other health care personnel, the discovery and implementation of new techniques and procedures in the treatment of disease, and advances in the care of sick and injured patients can occur which will be of benefit not only to Buffalo, but throughout the world. I trust this letter will provide you with the assurance you need to begin planning for our occupancy of the space under discussion. 0 SUMMER, 19.73 39 Dr. Albert Somit, executive vice president of the University (right) gives the " Jetter of intent" to Mr. Harlan J. Swift , BGH board chairman (left), and Dr. Theodore T. Jacobs, president of BGH. �Living in Thailand by Mrs. Robert Brenner Mrs. Brenner wrote this letter about her experiences in Thailand to her good friend, Mrs. Bill Dock. Mrs. Brenner's husband is a 1959 Medical School Graduate. They have been living in Chiang Mai, 500 miles north of Bangkok. After three years of writing letters and attending to legal matters and much soul-searching we finally did it - that is to make up our minds to make a change. Bob's practice got way too busy and he knew something had to be done. Through the Commission on Ecumenical Mission and Relations or COEMAR (possibly you have heard of it through your church - especially if you're still Presbyterian)- we are doing nearly a year of overseas voluntary service. Bob thought you might like this news - to keep up with us and maybe put in the U.B. News. (he's Med. School 1959). Bob received an invitation to come to McCormick Hospital with the family. While here he has a young Thai doctor working closely with him. He has had two years of general surgery and Bob is trying to give him some of his orthopedic training. We've now been here two months and have found this to be mostly what he had hoped for. As volunteers we are provided with housing, food, and laundry. All other expenses we paid for i.e., travel expenses and any extras while here -plus having no income for the year. We live in one part of a duplex home on the hospital grounds. This is far from fancy, in fact it is very sparse, but convenient. The hospital kitchen brings us our evening meal and I prepare breakfast and lunch using food that I can order through the hospital. This makes it much better for us, than having to go to the market each day - if you do this you almost need a Thai cook, then she does the marketing. Everything over here is so very different than we have ever known, but what an enriching and educating experience we are having. This city is the second to Bangkok in size- it has really become modernized within the last 10 years. Ten years (some say 6 years) ago there were only about 10 cars -now it is very motorized. We walk because cars to purchase are taxed 142%! You can get most everything if you want to pay prices like $2.00 for one quart of Miracle Whip! There is a lot of Mission work - many different churches - and countries - are involved. This hospital has two fraternal worker MD's from United Presbyterian Church U.S.A. One is an internist, the other ob-gyn. They have been here 20 and 23 years, respectively. Other things Bob can do is spend time at McKean Rehabilitation Institute for leprosy patients. This was originally part of the Presbyterian Mission, but now its support is from many other services. A medical school here is connected with Chiang Mai University- he gets to conferences. We have met fascinating people here, in all kinds of work and from all parts of the world. Sunday I met a woman (she and her husband are in Bangkok, he is a biologist) who had taught in Battle Creek, Michigan at the same time I was there (her home was Grand Rapids!) A man who is here now as a Presbyterian Minister for a while was in Niagara Falls - his name Everett McNair. We will be home sometime in July. 0 40 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �People Dr. Carl E.

D Two recent developments resulting from the research of a chemistry professor at the University may enable hospitals to spend less time and money examining body fluid specimens of patients. Dr. Garry A. Rechnitz has begun the 12th year in the study of ion selective membrane electrodes with the present assistance of a staff of 10 and three grants from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and the Environmental Protection Agency. The research centers around the development and application of ion selective membrane electrodes, which are sensors or probes that are sensitive to a particular ion (electrically charged chemical material) and can measure the amount of that ion in a given sample fluid. Continuing research since 1961 resulted in the development of several sensor systems now in use at the professor's laboratory. Most recently, Dr. Rechnitz and a graduate student, Ramon Llenado, have devised an Automatic Analysis System which allows clinical measurements to be made more quickly and conveniently than by methods presently available.

Pesch gave 100 per cent endorsement to Senator Jacob K. Javits' proposed $100-million "disaster relief program" for the nation's medical schools. Dr. Pesch, who met with the Senator and 12 medical school deans in New York City recently, said the Buffalo Medical School was faced with a serious crisis because of sharp cutbacks in Federal funding. Dean Pesch said there are five main areas that will seriously affect Buffalo and Western New York: "discontinuance of the clinical research center at the Buffalo Children's Hospital; reduction in available funds for loans and scholarships to medical students to 20 per cent of needs; reduction in research support by 20 per cent; discontinuance of education programs in community health and other elective educational programs which are of vital importance to the people of Western New York; weakening of the educational programs at hospitals affiliated with the Medical School which are dependent on educational resources available through the school for the production of health manpower so vital to the Western New York area." Dean Pesch also stressed ''the necessity of re-ordering the priorities in meeting in a responsible way the health needs of this country. The responsibility is clearly on the Federal Government. The State of New York provides 12 per cent of the output of physician manpower for this nation. Clearly the responsibility is to meet an urgent need by the citizens of the entire nation. ''Most medical school reserve sources are gone, including those here in Buffalo," Dean Pesch said. "We need continued Federal funding for research and training grant support, loans and scholarships, to strengthen faculty, and for construction of new schools. "Health related research (including fundamental research in human biology) is a public responsibility," Dr. Pesch continued. "We have a good start in this endeavor and cannot cut back. ''To simply maintain current health manpower production at a minimum we must have full funding of authorized expenditures under existing legislation in construction, research, loans and scholarships. We must also maintain our research training program at its current level of activity."

Regan, M.D. Dr. Regan addressed the annual Medical School Convocation Wednesday, September 3, 1969. Dr. Regan came to the University in April, 1964 as Vice President for Health Affairs; was named Executive Vice President in February, 1967; and Acting President September 9, 1969. He is also Professor of Psychiatry. APPROACHING THE SUBJECT OF MEDICAL CARE in a changing society is a very ticklish business. It is terribly easy to point with pride at the technical achievements in medicine (organ transplants, antimicrobial therapy, hyperbaric medicine) and to view with alarm the deficiences that we all recognize (our deplorable perinatal and neonatal mortality rates, the wide discrepancies that exist between health care provided to the affluent and that which is provided to the poor). It is after this litany has been recited that the real problem becomes apparent - the definition of a plan for action that will preserve the good, while eliminating the evils, of our present system of medical care. The bitter truth is that no one knows precisely how best to provide medical care to our nation. More and more there is substantial agreement that good health care is the right of every citizen rich or poor, white or black, urban or rural. But how will we achieve it? Will it be by " socialized medicine," national medical service, networks of clinics scattered throughout urban and rural populations, the elaboration of "doctor assistants" and other allied health professionals or compulsory health insurance? The thrust of my remarks today will be threefold. First, that the ultimate solution is not known at the moment, but the general directions we should take are becoming apparent. Second, that the urgent responsibility for beginning corrective action and assuming a leadership role rests squarely on the profession of medicine and on each individual physician and medical student. Third, that the faculty and students of our Medical School , in their present circumstances, have one of the best opportunities in the world for undertaking this leadership role. Let us consider first what will be necessary in order to provide the best of health care to every citizen - your father and mother, your friends, your wife and children. One basic answer rings out loud and clear - teamwork. By teamwork I mean simply that the delivery of health care to our people, in this day and age, depends upon the coordinated efforts of many health professions. One hundred years ago, when the physician's most reliable tools were morphine and digitalis , it may have been possible for the horse and buggy doctor to THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �- ~ - ------- ---- bring alone and unaided the best of medical care to his patients. This is certainly no longer the case. Each physician working in the United States depends upon the coordinated efforts of 20 other professional and non-professional helpers in order to do his job. To increase the effectiveness of this team each physician, and the medical profession in general, have an urgent responsibility to analyze their work and to delegatP. portions of it more and more completely to those helping people. There is a second element to teamwork - the disposition of the resources available to the team. At this moment in time the disparate distribution of our medical resources is verging on a national scandal. Whole towns and counties lack the opportunity to receive medical care. Patients who require very specialized treatment such as open heart surgery frequently do not obtain these services because of poverty, distance or lack of knowledge . Let it not be thought for one minute that these disparities in the distribution of health resources only exist in distant places. On the contrary they exist in Appalachia, 30 miles south of us. They exist in Lackawanna. They exist in many of the areas of the East Side of Buffalo. What is needed to combat this maldistribution is an interlocking regional system of medical treatment facilities. Appropriate sections of the health care team should be stationed in comprehensive community health centers close to the families who need care, with appropriate referral mechanisms for those who require more specialized treatment. Such a program, outlined in principle a decade ago by such leaders in medical education as John Dietrick (then Dean of the Cornell University Medical College) must come if health care is to be provided to our citizens. But if these are the necessities for approaching a better method of medical care for our society - team work between the health professions , and a better distribution of resources why does the responsibility for designing this system fall upon the medical profession? This question is a serious one and it is asked in many ways. I recall the words of a physician who recently wrote "The job of the doctor is to take care of his own patients. The very idea that he should take care of society is ridiculous." That statement , in which an individual physician renounces responsibility to society, arouses a recollection of some of the epitaphs to be found in western graveyards like ''He died with his boots on.'' The truth of the matter is that the citizens do not expect any individual physician to solve the problems of health care delivery. They do expect the medical profession 300,000 strong - to take that responsibility. The individual doctor still maintains the affection and devotion of his patients. But these patients, and those many citizens who do not have the opportunity to become patients, expect that the group of physicians, banded together as a profession, will take the leadership in proposing and executing sound answers to our present difficulties in health care distribution. WINTER, 1969 3 - ----------- Dr. Regan - �Within the profession of medicine it is the medical schools which have the greatest opportunity and responsibility to respond to this national need. It is from the medical schools in fact that the present level of technical excellence in modern medicine has sprung. In the Flexnerian era they developed the basic sciences and unleashed the great discoveries that our present clinical departments are elaborating. At this juncture in history it is not only their responsibility to maintain the basic biomedical scientific excellence which they now possess but to add excellence in the understanding of social problems that relate to medicine, and of managerial techniques that will allow medical care to be better distributed. The Association of American Medical Colleges has strongly urged that medical schools not be satisfied merely with attempts to graduate more physicians per year. But that they also dedicate an increasing proportion of their effort toward teaching and research revolving around patient care distribution - teaching and research which focus on the realities of medical practice in the communities, in the ghettos, and in the rural regions, to complement the kind of teaching and research already going on in our scientifically-oriented medical centers. Thus I believe that there is great need for a kind of change in our patterns of clinical practice. These changes need not curtail or infringe upon the rights, responsibilities, and freedoms of the physician. Instead, they should enhance his effectiveness, multiply the number of hands which he can use in dealing with health problems. Such a positive outcome can only be brought about if the physicians, and the medical schools in particular, assume leadership in designing these changes. It is at this point that the opportunities available to us in Buffalo become so clear. The students and faculty of our Medical School are part of an institution which has its roots spread wide and deep in the realities of the community of Western New York. Over the past 125 years, the Medical School has made the kinds of scientific achievements for which we can be justly proud and it has never sacrificed its vital ties with the community in the process. We operate our teaching and research programs in hospitals and clinics geared to the needs of the citizens of this region. All that we need to do at this moment in time is to expand our vision. We need to recognize that some new steps are necessary, and aim our efforts toward the kinds of teamwork and distribution necessary for an optimal educational process . As I review the present situation in the Medical School it is apparent that important first steps are being taken. -The Faculty of Health Sciences embraces the Schools of Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Health Related Professions. These Schools are ready and eager to follow the leadership of the Medical School and its faculty in devising the kind of teams and the kinds of distribution of effort, that can make a better system of patient care a proper subject for teaching and research. 4 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �- -~-- ---- ~---- - ---- -- - Initial efforts have been made in designing new kinds of contact with the patients who live in our community, for teaching and research purposes. Examples which come to mind are the "outpost" clinic in Lackawanna (which owes so much to the enthusiasm and dedication of medical students), our coordinated inpatient-outpatient care program in internal medicine operating between the Meyer Hospital and Talbert Mall on the lower East Side, and the inpatientoutpatient continuum of patient care provided by the psychiatric services of the Meyer Memorial Hospital. - The winds of change are sweeping through the curriculum of the Medical School which will now provide far greater flexibility in basic scientific and clinical electives for all students. It is my hope that this new-found freedom will lead to greater union between the educational efforts of the Medical School and those of the many interested and dedicated disciplines in other areas of the University. - Plans for the new Clinical Center on the Amherst campus are in their near-final stages. They represent a dramatic change from a bed-oriented "hospital" to an integrated clinical facility oriented around the best methods for producing the most care for the most people. While the number of units we think of as "hospital beds" in this new facility will number only about 350, the amount of care that will be provided will be the equivalent of that provided in a ''classic" 680-bed hospital. Thus the new Clinical Center will be an exciting and inspiring place in which to learn new methods of patient care and do proper and sound scientific research about the effectiveness of various patterns. It will be a place in which the health care teams of the future will learn together in order that they can work together. It is clear that the time is now. There is an urgent national need for a better system of patient care with the responsibility for designing this system falling most squarely on the medical profession. Here at Buffalo, we have a unique combination of circumstances. Our long-standing ties with the community, the present strength and dedication of our faculty and students, the new curriculum, and the Clinical Center combine to give us the chance to break new ground. As an educational institution we alone will not be able to provide health care to all the citizens of the Niagara Frontier much less the nation. We can and should however design the models and test them out in application. We can educate a new generation of physicians and other health professionals to work in an optimal system of health care. We can provide that leadership and knowledge which the nation so desperately needs. In doing so we face the exciting prospect of making enormous contributions that will help to reach the objective of providing the best possible health care to all the citizens of this country. 0 WINTER, 1969 5 - - - �Anatomy as a Science and its Role in the Medical Curriculum by Joseph C. Lee, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Lee is professor of anatomy at the Medical School. He presented this paper at the Mayo Clinic, August. 25, 1969. He is also associate research professor of surgery (neurosurgery). Is ANATOMY A SCIENCE? Those who have asked this question generally refer to gross anatomy. They usually do not strongly object to the scientific status of neuroanatomy, embryology or histology which are actually parts of anatomy. They consider that gross anatomy is just a collection of scattered facts to be memorized rather than for reasoning. To them, anatomy is static and not dynamic, and it has neither generalized principles nor governing laws. Is all of this true? According to Webster's or any other standard dictionary, science can be defined in at least five ways. All these definitions more or less emphasize that science is a systematic knowledge of facts built on principles and laws that can be verified by observation and experimentation. If we accept these criteria for science then let us see whether or not gross anatomy is a science. On one hand anatomy comprises the locomotive, cardiovascular and nervous systems, etc. These systems are not only structurally interconnected but also functionally intercorrelated. The primary objective of anatomy is to provide the function with structural basis. Anatomy has never been taught without referring to living dynamics and clinical application. In this respect I hope that there is no disagreement upon anatomy as a systematic knowledge of facts. On the other hand anatomy is not without governing principles and laws. Unfortunately they have not been well appreciated. People readily recognize the law of balance in natural science and the law of equilibrium in chemistry but few appreciate the law of homeostasis in living body. Perhaps I may cite some specific anatomical principles and laws that underlie human architecture. We have Hilton's law. It states that a nerve trunk supplying any given joint also supplies the muscles moving the joint and the skin over the insertions of such muscles. There is a principle of inverse phenomena. This reveals that . the earlier a tissue or an organ forms the later it ceases to survive or to grow and vice versa. For example the heart appears early and succumbs late, the epiphysis of a long bone that ossifies first ceases to grow by fusing with the diaphysis last, and the lymphoid tissue develops late but degenerates early. We have a principle of the neurovascular pathway - that in any region the major nerve and blood vessels travel together and this neurovascular bundle is located on the side of flexion or adduction. The law of nerve degeneration and regeneration has been known since Galen reported "On Anatomy of Nerves" in the second century. It was further substantiated by Cajal at the turn of the 20th Century. This law indicates that a sectioned nerve degenerates more extensively and regenerates more slowly if the cut is closer to the neuronal soma. It has been amplified by recent clinical and electron microscopic observations that the unmyelinated nerve fibers of a sectioned nerve degenerate later and regenerate earlier than the myelinated fibers. 6 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �..... ~-- ~----- Time does not permit me to describe all the anatomical laws and principles which to my knowledge are about 40. Other examples are the law of myotomes, the principle of collateral circulation, the mechanics of bony architecture, the law of tendons, the pattern of dentition, the law of ligaments, the principles of reciprocity and compensation, the law of muscular action, etc. All these principles and laws can easily be verified by observation because they are derived from the generalization of actual observations. They can also be confirmed by appropriate experiments. For instance Hilton's law can be tested by experimental denervation. The principles of reciprocity and compensation can be demonstrated by gradual obstruction of an artery or by unilateral removal of a kidney. The experimental procedures of testing the actions of muscles and the strength of bones have been carried out routinely in many laboratories. The data discussed above fit well the criteria for science set forth previously. There seems no reason to disqualify gross anatomy as a science. From a historical point of view gross anatomy has always been a science and it had a much larger scope in the past than at present. In a very loose way anatomy was the only biological science in ancient Greece, Arabia, and China. An anatomist of that time was also a physiologist, pathologist, ecologist, taxonomist, etc. From Galen to Harvey, anatomy was almost the only medical science regularly taught in the hospitals and early medical schools. With the explosion of new information and technology many disciplines became independent of anatomy. This does not mean that the parent science is no longer a science after the children grow up. Professor Kolliker of Switzerland in 1852 said, "Anatomy is and remains the science of the structural parts of the organism and of the laws of their origin and transformation, whether these structural parts are visible to the naked eye or only through the microscope. The final goal of anatomy is aimed at the composition and function of the structural parts.'' Dr. Stanley Bennett of this country paraphrased this Kolliker' s dictum in his presidential address at the 7th International Congress of Anatomists in 1960 that anatomy as a science has no limitation in structural size and biological species. I now want to review briefly the present status of anatomy in the medical schools as I see it. Since the end of World War II, the medical curriculum has been greatly altered and anatomy has always been the salient target of the changes. The teaching time for gross anatomy has been cut most severely among the basic sciences. A quick survey of medical schools shows that anatomy is currently in one of the following five situations. 1. In many, it has become a "core course" with apparent reduction of teaching time and real mutilation of subject matter. 2. In some, in the name of "relevancy," it is taught by several clinicians of various disciplines although the clinicians have gradually given up such extra burdens of teaching anatomy. 3. Others have tried to eliminate human disWINTER, 1969 7 - ------- - - - Dr. Lee -- - �section but to my knowledge have failed and actual dissection has been reinstated. 4. Still others have advocated relegation of anatomy to the premedical department but this has not materialized. 5. As there are always two sides to a coin we can find another situation in very few medical schools where anatomy has not changed appreciably. On one side of the coin, I cannot see the point of mutilating the subject matter by omitting the actual human dissection attaining the immediate relevancy at the expense of integrity of expelling the anatomy course from the medical schools. Anatomy is a morphological science which can be better learned and its knowledge better retained only by actual dissection and observation of the cadaver. It should not be taught in the premedical college where it lacks a clinical ambient and orientation or should it be fragmented to serve the immediate purposes of some clinical practices. We should take heed that education which is too specifically relevant is rapidly outdated, and some of the most irrelevant things turn out to be the most practical in the long run. It is difficult to understand how we can educate our students to deliver health care to man without giving them some basic knowledge of the structure of the whole human body. By elimination or senseless mutilation of anatomy we cannot expect our students to learn physical diagnosis well, to perform an operation properly or to localize a brain lesion sensibly. Ironically enough many people think that psychiatrists do not need much anatomy, but it is the psychiatrists who advise the medical students to learn the whole man and not his separate parts and functions. I would like to digress for a moment to my personal witness of a tragic failure in medical education in the early period of communist China. Soon after the communists came to power in 1949, the government ordered some medical schools to reduce the six-year curriculum to three years. This mandatory change was so sudden that sufficient time was not available to reorganize the subject matter and to develop new teaching methods. The schools were in a state of confusion. Three years later the graduates were sent to the farms and factories to work independently. One year later these "M.D.'s" were recalled to take another five years of medical training because they could not make differential diagnoses, or treat diseases properly. If we do not want to repeat such failure we have to be cautious and prudent in changing our present medical curriculum. On the other side of the coin I cannot see the point to some anatomy professors maintaining a course of some 350 hours. They have not fully realized that anatomy is no longer the only or the major basic science to be taught in the modern medical school. In medical schools I have visited in Asia, North America, England, and Continental Europe there are always a few anatomists talking about the "good old time." 8 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �~~--- -~------- ----------------- Old time is valuable so long as it serves as a guide so that we do not have to repeat the trials and errors. But it is not always good. In this rapidly moving world there is no room for the stereotype. Innovation is necessary if we wish to advance to the future from the present. A reduction of teaching time and subject material of gross anatomy is unavoidable in view of the information explosion in all medical sciences. The whole subject should be re-examined carefully giving priority to matters of medical and surgical significance. Unfortunately, most medical schools which have cut gross anatomy to a so-called "core course" do not secure the active participation of experienced anatomy professors in reorganization of the course. Consequently there is very little development of new teaching methods, techniques, and facilities commensurate with the reduction of teaching time and material. The last part of my talk concerns anatomy in the future . I am confident that anatomy will remain an important subject in the future medical curriculum. Even if some medical schools have or will have removed anatomy in one way or another, they have or will have re-embraced it. This confidence is based on past and present evidences. Anatomy has always been basic to all other medical sciences. Apart from its obvious relationship to medical and surgical sciences, it is also essential for biochemistry and biophysics in such a way that few people are willing to admit. The lecture of a biochemist on the enzyme system of oxidative phosphorylation will be biologically meaningless if he does not know that this enzyme system is concentrated in mitochondria. It will be senseless for a biophysicist to study nerve conductivity if he is unable to distinguish a myelinated from an unmyelinated nerve fiber. Anatomy has contributed to medical education in some obscure ways which have never been completely recognized and appreciated. These contributions have been well summarized by Dr. Oliver P. Jones - anatomy furnishes about 25-30% of the medical terminology, helps students learn how to educate themselves, and trains them to develop and to refine their power of observation so important in medical arts and science. In addition anatomy teachers are always the anonymous counselors to the medical freshmen. For the reasons just mentioned anatomy is always the first course taught in the medical school as a prerequisite to other medical subjects. Drs. William and Charles Mayo, cofounders of the Mayo Clinic, started their medical education by learning osteology from a skeleton of an Indian Warrior and by studying histology with an expensive light microscope. The importance of anatomy to their surgery can be illustrated by the fact that Dr. Will would review the anatomy of biliary pathways the night before he operated on a patient with complicated gall stones. Dr. Charlie had refined his surgical techniques in ophthalmology by dissecting time and again the orbits of cadavers. WINTER, 1969 9 ---- �John Hunter, the eminent English anatomist, was one of the heroes of Dr. Will. Talking about John Hunter, I was amazed to see the well-dissected and well-preserved specimens when I visited the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1965. Professor Gilbert Causey, Director of the Museum, told me that few anatomical specimens prepared by modern techniques were as good as Hunter's and that the anatomical museum was one of the important segments in postdoctorate education. I agree with him. Anatomy in the future medical curriculum will certainly have a shorter syllabus and time than in the present. As far as I can foresee it will be taught in two stages. In the first, anatomy will introduce to the medical freshmen the basic facts and concepts of human bodily structure. This basic material will be so organized that it requires a minimal amount of teaching time but provides optimal anatomical knowledge which is essential for the students to learn other medical subjects and for those who wish to be general practitioners. Concomitant with the reduction of teaching time and material, the teaching methods and techniques will be improved or redesigned. A self-learning anatomical museum will be established for both the undergraduate and graduate students. This museum will contain serial prosected specimens, comprehensive models, explanatory charts and audiovisual facilities .* The second stage of teaching anatomy will be in the junior or senior year. It will have several courses, depending on the nature of specialties that demand in-depth anatomy. These will be in the form of conjoint courses in collaboration with the clinicians concerned. The future department of anatomy will also undertake a greater responsibility in providing postdoctorate physicians and surgeons with anatomical material, facilities, and consultation. In my own experience with Fellowship of Royal College of Surgeons candidates, I found that they demand both in-depth and in-width information of anatomy. In other words they want to grasp the anatomy of certain regions in great detail, the embryonic development of specific organs in these regions, the anatomical basis of pathological changes, and the current anatomical advance related to their fields. 0 Dr. Lee presented slides on part of an anatomical museum that he initiated and helped develop at the University of Hong Kong which has proved itself useful to medical students and residents. I frequently spent many hours a day with them in the dissection room, at the conference table, in the museum and at the C.P.C. It was very rewarding and I admit that I learned from them as much as I hone I was able to impart to thern Looking further beyond the immediate future, I do not worry about anatomy being eliminated from the medical school curriculum, but I am deeply concerned about the shortage of qualified anatomy teachers. If we are going to teach the undergraduates several anatomy courses and to take care of the postgraduates, we will need far more staff members than available at present. 10 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �· ---==--------~----~ Nowadays most young M.D.'s are interested in clinical sciences and basic sciences other than anatomy. Many a Ph.D. tries to avoid learning and teaching gross anatomy. The hard fact is that we cannot train instant anatomists. A person cannot become a gross anatomist simply by having dissected a cadaver. As an analogy, a third grader in the elementary school cannot be a good teacher of second grade students even though he knows every word of (heir textbooks. A qualified gross anatomist in my opinion should not only have thorough knowledge of macroscopic anatomy but adequate information of microscopic, developmental, pathological, comparative, and neuroanatomy as well as the need of clinical sciences. He should of course keep himself up-to-date with modern advances in his field. If we agree upon these qualifications for a gross anatomist, we should not expect our busy clinicians to become devoted anatomy teachers nor could we produce good anatomists overnight. In order to avoid such a critical shortage of teacher-anatomists, I most sincerely urge my contemporary fellow anatomists to make anatomy more attractive to the young M.D.'s and Ph.D.'s and to train them to be the anatomists of tomorrow.O Dr. Eric A. Barnard is the new biochemistry department chairman. He replaces Dr. Richard J. Winzler who has accepted a Distinguished Professorship in Chemistry at Florida State University, Tallahassee. Dr. Barnard was born in London, England in 1927. He received both his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from King's College, University of London. He served in the Royal Air Force for three years prior to completing his college education and was an assistant lecturer and lecturer at King's College after receiving his doctorate. His first visit to the United States was as a Rockefeller Fellow in the Virus Laboratory of the University of California, Berkeley in 1960 and 1961. He was a Visiting Professor at the University of Marburg, Germany before accepting an associate professorship at State University of New York at Buffalo in 1964. He was promoted to professor of biochemistry in 1965. Dr. Barnard has authored or co-authored more than 75 publications in the field of enzymology, has read papers at 20 international conferences, delivered lectures at universities and institutes across the United States and Europe, and is currently preparing a book on ''Active Center of Enzymes.'' At the State University, he is now serving on a committee to draft by-laws for the newly formed Faculty of Health Sciences and recently chaired a committee which completely revised the department of biochemistry curriculum. Dr. Barnard received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1969 for study in Europe, which he is presently completing. Dr. Barnard, his wife Penelope and their two children reside at 4 Soldiers Place in Buffalo.O WINTER, 1969 11 New Biochemistry Department Head �A New Surgical Approach About one third of patients with myocardial infarctions develop congestive heart failure or end up in shock. A new surgical approach developed at the School of Medicine has drastically reduced the 80-90 per cent mortality rate of patients in shock by two-thirds (30 per cent]. These patients were all victims of heart failure, pointed out Buffalo's developer of the surgical procedure Dr. George Schimert. This "power failure" as it is medically termed, may range from the acute to chronic stage - from cardiogenic shock following acute infarction to chronic congestive heart failure. Local coronary artery lesions, he said, are usually responsible for the damage to heart wall or its muscles. Factors causing heart failure are much more common than was previously thought. More important than the dead muscle itself, he emphasized, is the initial damage to the surrounding muscle. The main pumping chamber of the heart will function more effectively as its radius is decreased (Law of LaPlace]. Once these conditions are corrected (in patients originally thought to be nonsurgical candidates) by this new surgical approach the intractable heart failure can be reversed. " Our experience over the past three years in the surgical treatment of 23 postinfarction heart failures assures us that we are now able to pinpoint the patient who is surgically correctable. While these defects can be surgically corrected, many problems still remain: how to assess quality and contracting ability of remaining heart muscle; how much muscle to remove without obliterating the cavity and thus impede pumping function?" A paper on this procedure was reported at the Society of Vascular Surgeons in July. The coauthors are: Drs. George Schimert, associate professor ofsurgery; Thomas Z. Lajos, assistant professor of surgery; Ivan L. Bunnell, associate professor ofmedicine; David G. Greene, prcifessor of clinical medicine and cardiovascular disease and assistant clinical professor of physiology; Herman L. Falsetti, assistant professor of medicine; Andrew A Gage, assistant clinical professor of surgery; David C. Dean, assistant professor of medicine; Michael Bernstein, department of surgery. Although these patients can be suspected clinically they can only be definitely diagnosed through the diagnostic procedure of ventriculography - movies of the heart - which have proven highly accurate in outlining the akinetic areas. Findings agree with observations made during surgery. "In the group of patients with akinesis, if only 20-30 per cent of the heart wall is damaged, the patient will probably have excellent clinical results. But this percentage, he pointed out, will decline with increasing cardiac involvement. If more than 50 per cent of the heart wall is involved patients may not survive surgery or may have minimal clinical benefit from resection. Patients with associated mitral regurgitation who have mitral valve replacement have done exceptionally well,'' he said. Mortality is difficult to predict but without surgery the majority would have died in less than a year. Seven received surgery as a desperate emergency measure. The worse the medical outlook, the poorer the surgical risk. But, he pointed out, any salvage is better than none. No patient was considered too sick for surgery. Some of the sickest patients overlap the group who may become suitable for transplantation. As experience accumulates, left ventricular reconstruction may be extended to better risk patients as well as patients who may otherwise be considered for cardiac transplantation. 12 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �~~--------------------- -~------------------ ~--------------~--- Selection was based on a high index of suspiciOn, careful preoperative clinical evaluation, and identification of all lesions by angiocardiography - x-ray movies of the heart. Surgical success, he said, depends upon meticulous attention to preoperative preparation, postoperative management, as well as the surgical procedure itself. Twenty-four patients - ages 37 to 68 - with congestive heart failure had surgery for complications of coronary artery disease. In 21 patients, congestive heart failure was due to localized akinesis of the left ventricular wall, associated with mitral regurgitation in seven patients and with rupture of the ventricular septum in two patients. One patient with status anginosus, previously documented left descending coronary artery narrowing, had acute coronary thrombectomy. Four had been defibrillated - cardiac arrest - and in two patients the only lesion found was rupture of papillary muscles with mitral regurgitation. Seven patients were in shock and pulmonary edema and were operated on as emergencies. There were four hospital deaths, four late deaths, and variable degrees of improvement in the other 15 patients, 11 of whom are now working or are fully active. To date about 50 cases have been reported across the country. The Buffalo group - pioneers in the new surgical procedure - has been active in this field for the past three years (first reported April 1968 by Dr. Herman Falsetti at the 49th Annual Session of the American College of Physicians, Boston). The implications for patient salvage by this surgical procedure may present a major breakthrough.D A medical couple with a musical hobby. That is the interesting life of Dr. and Mrs. Stephen E. Moshman. Susan is a senior in the Medical School, while her husband received his MD in May. He is interning at the Meyer and Buffalo General Hospitals, and hopes to specialize in internal medicine or neurology . Steve's father gave him his first violin lessons, and interested him in composing and conducting. As a teen-ager he and his father were in a string quartet in Brooklyn . At the University of Rochester where he majored in biology, Steve was conductor of the string ensemble, a chamber orchestra of about 15 pieces, which he and a group of fellow music lovers founded . The ensemble offered concerts of baroque and classical works. Now it is a part of the music department. Mr. Lukas Foss, conductor of the Buffalo Phill).armonic, has commented favorably on Steve's musical compositions. At least two have been played in concerts in Rochester. Interning keeps the 25-year-old doctor from working on composing or practicing the violin. His 23-year-old wife was on a pediatrics fellowship during the summer. She helped in the organization of the Lackawanna Clinic which opened last year. The Moshmans have no idea where they will practice. But wherever they go they will continue their twin careers of medicine and music .D WINTER, 1969 13 Musical Hobby ------------ �Dr. Obcrkircher Hospital Honors Two Alumni Two alumni, who have given more than 100 years of service as teachers and physicians, were honored by the Buffalo General Hospital when it opened its $7.3 million addition recently. The medical library on the second floor of the new fourstory building will be named the Dr. A. H. Aaron Library and the Urology Department on the same floor will be the Dr. Oscar J. Oberkircher Urological Suite. Portraits of both men will hang in the new building. Hospital Director Rudolf G. Hils said, "in naming the library and urology department for them we are paying tangible tribute to the many intangible ways in which they have made their influence felt over the years - an influence that is still strong today as it will be in the years ahead. ''The contributions the two physicians have made to the hospital, patients, students and their colleagues are immeasurable. They have passed on their spirit of dedication to succeeding generations of physicians." Both men interned at Buffalo General, and were appointed to the staff in 1917 -Dr. Aaron as an assistant attending physician, Dr. Oberkircher as assistant in urology. Dr. Aaron became a full attending physician in 1938, Dr. Oberkircher in 1931. Dr. Aaron served as vice president of the hospital staff in 1944. He was named to the consulting staff in 1955. He still practices his specialty, gastroenterology. He was on the Medical School faculty from 1917 until he retired July 1, 1955 as clinical professor of medicine, emeritus. He was instrumental in establishing the postgraduate teaching program and headed it from 1921 to 1949 on a volunteer basis. Dr. Oberkircher served as chief of the Buffalo General's urology department from 1945-60, and chief of urology at Children's Hospital from 1946-58. He was named to the consulting staff at General in 1960, and retired from the practice of medicine five years later. He was on the Medical School faculty from 1917 to July 1, 1958 when he retired as professor emeritus and h ead of the urology division. In 1944-45, Dr. Aaron served as president of the American Gastroenterological Association, which subsequently gave him its highest honor, the Julius Friedenwald Medal. He was also editor of the Journal of Gastroenterology; a past vice president of the State Medical Society; past president of the Erie County Medical Society, the Buffalo Academy of Medicine, the University Medical Alumni Association and the Buffalo and Erie County Tuberculosis and Health Association. In 1951 the University named him an outstanding teacher, and the Buffalo Evening News an Outstanding Citizen in 1958. Dr. Oberkircher was a Captain in the Army Medical Corps during World War I. He is a past member of the Board of Members of the Roswell Park Memorial Institute. The Buffalo Urological Society honored him in 1962 as "teacher, surgeon, and friend.'' His three sons are all Medical School graduates - Dr. David J., M'59, a Buffalo urologist; Dr. Paul, M'59, a radiologist at Fort Riley, Kansas; and Dr. Oscar, M'62, a Buffalo pediatrician.D 14 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �~ -------~~~ ------------ ~ - -- The Annual Spring Clinical Days will be Friday and Saturday, April 10 and 11, at the Statler Hilton Hotel according to Dr. Sidney Anthone, president of the medical alumni association. Dr. Robert Evans, director of medical education, York Hospital, York, Pa., will give the annual Stockton Kimball Lecture Saturday noon. Dr. Evans and Stockton Kimball were personal friends. In addition there will be at least three panel type sessions: "The Role of the Physician in Sex Education;" "Clinical Problems in Gastroenterology;'' and ''Physician Heal Thyself: A Discussion of the Social Hazards of Medical Practice'' that involves a cross-section of the various medical specialties. The details of the program will appear in the next issue of this magazine.D Spring Clinical Days April 10 and 11 A $635,048 grant has been awarded to the Regional Medical Program for Western New York to finance a variety of health projects. The award was made by the Division of Regional Medical Programs, Health Services and Mental Health Administration. Since the original grant three years ago the Buffalo-based program has received $2,512,886, according to Dr. John R. F. Ingall, program coordinator. The new grant will continue to support the coronary care training program for physicians and nurses, the telephone lecture network, which provides health related lectures to 47 hospitals throughout Western New York and Erie County, Pennsylvania and the chronic respiratory disease program, which provides training programs and consultative service to hospitals and physicians throughout the region. In addition, funds will now be available for a tumor registry , a program to test and evaluate methods of continuing medical education, planning for a dialysis program and a program of diagnostic procedures in immunofluorescence. One of the prime functions of the tumor registry will be to provide physicians with cumulative regional and individual clinical data. With proper utilization, it hopefully will improve the management of the cancer patient. The chronic respiratory disease program will include the expansion of a training program for inhalation therapists at Erie County Technical Institute, first of its nature to be centered in a community college in Western New York; a post graduate program in pulmonary diseases for physicians and nurses; use of the acute respiratory unit at the Millard Fillmore Hospital as a model for the educational program , and the addition of a screening program for respiratory diseases . The immunofluorescence project will provide education and service by a relatively new technique utilizing immunofluorescence to aid in diagnosis and treatment of cancer, thymoma, leukemia, rheumatic heart disease, etc. A service laboratory will provide , by request, diagnostic tests to assist the physician . At present, these tests are not available locally to a majority of practicing physicians. 0 $635,048 Regional Medical Program Grant WINTER, 1969 15 �An Otology Fellowship Herbert H. Rabiner Why otology? There are the words "I can hear again" from patients following successful surgery. Or the more than 25 million Americans who have hearing problems - many are children - who may never reach their maximum potential if they are not treated or their hearing losses repaired. That's why Herbert H . Rabiner, a senior medical student with a special awareness of what it is not to hear - he was born with a moderate degree of hearing loss - spent eight weeks last summer on an otologic fellowship with renowned otologist Irwin Ginsberg. Hearing problems, Herb explained , may _be congenital, viral or familial in origin. They range from the sensorineural nothing is known about the inner ear and therefore these cannot as yet be treated - to conductive losses which are now, due to research advances, almost always repairable. The combination of in and out-patient services, study and research at the temporal bone laboratory, has exposed him to the entire field of otology. " Today? It will start with surgery for a 70-year-old Nun. A dedicated teacher , she was forced to leave the profession because of an 85 per cent hearing loss from otosclerosis. ' ' A progressive condition beginning at an early age, it is caused by bony particles which have grown and spread in the inner ear membranes until they prevent the stapes - a tiny stirrup-shaped bone - from carrying sound vibration to the hearing nerve. Dr. Ginsberg a nd Mr. Rabiner 16 THE BUFFALO PHYSIC IAN �~-----------~ - ---------~~- -- . ------------- ------ ------ - Mr. Rabiner, Dr. Ginsberg, Dr. Mohamad Zohur The stapedectomy, as the operation is called, does not take more than an hour. The impaired stapes is removed and a teflon and steel replacement is inserted. "Following her first operation a year ago, she regained 90 per cent of normal hearing and returned to teaching. Today we are operating on the second ear," Herb said. But there are at least four patients every morning at the Buffalo General Hospital who are scheduled for microsurgery use of a special microscope for surgery of the ear. Afternoons until 6:30 are spent at the nonprofit, privately endowed Buffalo Hearing Foundation, dedicated to the study and causes of deafness. Daily between 50 and 60 patients are either diagnosed for the extent of deafness, evaluated and treated as vertigo patients, or exposed to the special techniques of audiometry to assess the causes of deafness. More than half are referrals, who arrive from as far away as Hong Kong. Modern technology is responsible for the expanding field of otology, Herb pointed out. "We are seeing more young patients who have returned from the military service, older patients exposed to industrial noises, and thos e with hearing problems due to the intensity of today's music." Herb has a vested interest in otology. And the summer has convinced him that this is to be his future area of specialization.O WINTER, 1969 17 · Mr. Rabinerandaud iologist Tom White co nduct a test. �A participant in the 15-mile run. Eskimo Adaptation Pulling in a u·alrus. How HAS THE ESKIMO adapted his way of life to a variety of harsh environments over the centuries? Dr. Donald W. Rennie [he is professor of physiology and associate department chairman). with two dozen other scientists, spent the past two summers in Wainwright, Alaska. Their assignment? to measure Eskimo physical fitness and capacity for exhausting work (as reported by both explorers and Eskimo hunters in legendary tales). The invitation - from coordinator of the Eskimo study Dr. Frederick Milan [he is an anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin) - meant Dr. Rennie's return after a decade to work with a population he first encountered 27 years ago and has since studied. It is part of a 55-nation biological program that is due to end in 1972. Their concern - to preserve the habitability of the earth and broaden our knowledge on all forms of its life. To plan the study, 40 international scientists from the U.S.A., Canada, Denmark, Norway, France, Japan [the USSR joined the team last summer) met in Point Barrow, Alaska. That was over a year ago, where it was agreed that the USA phase would be a detailed study of the Wainwright villagers. This phase would include a medical and dental team, anthropologists, sociologists, ecologists, epidemiologists, geneticists, and physiologists. Wainwright, the northernmost Eskimo village in Alaska, still retains sea and land hunting as a way of life. It is reasonably accessible by both bush plane or winter tractor. And, from a study initiated in 1955 by Dr. Rennie, there is much information available on the cardiovascular status of the villagers [they willingly consented to be hosts). The Point Barrow Office of Naval Research dragged four "wannigans" or cabins across the winter sea ice to Wainwright100 miles away - to provide housing for the visiting scientists. But where to find funds? In a lean budget year the Smithsonian Institute responded to Dr. Rennie's request with a seed grant. He, Dr. Pietro diPrampero [an exercise physiologist from Milan, Italy) and Robert Fitts [a physiology graduate student and long distance runner with an eye on Olympic competition) were ready in early summer, 1968. The last act before leaving Buffalo - to personally deliver the 500 pounds of equipment packed in two sturdy aluminum dog crates loaned by the Animal Facilities Laboratory to the Buffalo airport. Destination: Fairbanks, Alaska. �=--·~- Miraculously the equipment, the two-man Buffalo contingent, and Dr. diPrampero from Milan all converged within hours of each other at the Fairbanks airport. Then it was on to Point Barrow where Office of Naval Research personnel flew them directly to the walrus-strewn village of Wainwright. To the south of the village the flat, marshy tundra extends 100 miles onto the slopes of the 10,000 foot Brooks Mountain range. To the north stretches the Arctic Ocean. The 320 villagersan increase of 100 since 1955-occupy 52 frame and sod houses loosely clustered around two Protestant churches, a two-room schoolhouse, and a National Guard Armory - the latter two donated for medical, dental and physiological studies as well as clinical services to the villagers. A daily "spectacular" included an eight-hour sunset that gradually illuminates the northern horizon. Icebergs (some extending 10 feet above the water) sail majestically past your door all day and night with the currents. And flowers are found tucked · in among the crevices of the flat tundra. "Our three tests, relatively simple, were to assess the fitness of the male population," Dr. Rennie said. "A step-test of graded effort to test 'maximal aerobic power'- capacity to perform hard work over long periods of time - was established. To measure 'anaerobic power' - the type that characterizes a champion 100-yard dash man - we used an electronic chronometer sensitive to 0.01 second to measure vertical velocity while running at top speed up stairs.'' What proved to be the most fun was the final test - a 15-minute distance run - to doublecheck endurance. Planned for the final day of the study, this last test precipitated a series of incidents "I guess we will all remember for a long time," Dr. Rennie recalled. He laughed. The temporary air strip, carved out of the tundra, was selected as the ideal site for the run. A stone was placed at each end of the measured one-quarter mile track, the number of laps run to serve as the measurement. But the prize? Gasoline, the most coveted prize of all for the villagers whose supply was depleted. It was needed for their outboard motors and skidoos - to hunt caribou and walrus. A listing of rules and prizes was posted. Every participant was to receive a prize. The number of gallons awarded depended on the number of laps completed. Sunday evening following church services, small clusters of villagers slowly drifted toward the airstrip to view the awesome sight of 200 gallons of gasoline. They were flown in from Point Barrow only the day before. The village recreation committee took charge. They organized the races by age groups, counted the laps, and awarded the prizes. While the "over 55" group did not fare too well, side bets were placed on the "20 group," which included Bob Fitts. Showing the best time - he ran over three miles in 15 minutes - Bob won the villagers' admiration and respect. WINTER, 1969 19 Scientifically the study provided a systematic description ofhuman workcapacityandpulmonary function for about onethird of the village's male population. The others, as well as the women, were studied this summer to draw correlations between this physiologic description of the population and otheraspects of their health - cardiovascular status, prowess in hunting, etc. The initial study does not indicate a genetic trait endowing these people with a superior capacity for exhausting work. But the older age group and certain families do have higher 'scores' than reported on many Americans in other states. Hard and prolonged hunting - soon to become obsolete due to outboard motors and skidoos - does improve the endurance of these men so they can utilize all of their potential work capacity for long periods of time. Bob Fitts - he completed his master's thesis based on the initial summer's study - returned this summer before heading for PhD work at the University of Wisconsin. Sylvia L. Sinclair a graduate student in Physiology who joined the Buffalo team this summer - was charged with studies on the Wainwright female population. �Even the somewhat aloof Abraham - a young village hunter who ran half a mile behind Bob - became friendly when the winner refused to accept any side bets . The women joined in and performed as well as the men. The teenagers, as their reserve broke down, also participated. About midnight the evening ended - or so they thought - on a happy note with everyone receiving prizes. ''But the assemblage moved on to the center of the village a big sandy square where a volleyball net was set up, '' Dr. Rennie recalled, " and we were invited to join. All 'night ' long we played. About 5:30 in the morning a modified teeter totter was assembled. As one man jumped onto the end of a six-foot long board, he propelled the man at the opposite end as high into the air as possible. Into orbit they went - some flying as high as five feet. The ' winner' was the man who flew highest without crashing.'' To sleep finally at 7:30 only to be awakened half an hour later by a herd - about 1000 - of caribou charging down the airstrip, sending everything in its path into confusion and/ or chaos. " As soon as the herd was spotted by the villagers, every one with a gun or skidoo charged after them - to cut off an escape route. This only added to the chaos which, at that moment , seemed complete, " recalled Dr. Rennie. In the excitement Bob almost "got himself killed" by running into the herd. The AAUC three-mile New York City champion he could really run - pursued two caribou , shooting at them with a gun loaned to him by Abraham. ' ' H e ran them into the ground. He stood there and his gun jammed. Fortunately, a 12-year old standing nearby shot the two caribou before Bob could unjam his gun. "And that was the final blaze of glory for the trip," Dr. Rennie said.D Making a harpoon head .

The Center - headed by Distinguished Professor of Microbiology Dr. Ernest Witebsky - exposed the 20 students to current methods for immunological research and diagnosis. The students, selected from more than 40 applicants - represent four nations from abroad (Switzerland, El Salvador, Denmark, England) as well as Canada, and the United States. Over a three-week period they attended practical laboratory sessions, demonstrations, and heard lectures and discussions by faculty from the University, its affiliated hospitals, and institutions. The 20 - who paid a $300 tuition fee - studied antigen preparation methods, gel diffusion precipitation, passive and mixed agglutination, immunofluorescence, blood group determination and compatibility testing, immediate and delayed hypersensitivity as well as transplantation and tissue typing. They ranged from non-Ph.D. candidates to full professors; from a doctoral candidate in veterinary T HE CENTER FOR IMMUNOLOGY WINTER, '1969 medicine majoring in parasitology to one who will be teaching students at the new University of Toledo Medical School; from a non-Ph.D. from Hawaii studying immunologic disease in South Pacific orientals to a Harvard professor interested in public health microbiology. The course, supported in part by a World Health Organization grant, was directed by Dr. Noel R. Rose, professor of microbiology. Other Center activities include last year's Convocation results soon to be published. It is hoped to hold a Convocation biannually and to publish its results. Over 25 senior immunologists in the community - all members of the Center - meet at monthly workshops where ongoing research is discussed, criticized, and evaluated prior to publication. The Center's W.H.O. Regional Reference Laboratory serves as a training center for diagnostic and research laboratories. It is here where advice and training of personnel is obtained to improve their diagnostic capabilities of autoimmune diseases, and where international standards of sera are prepared. 0 21 �Diagnosis: cirrhosis of the liver. First Clinical Experience A ny major illness? It was their second day. The 104 freshmen filed into the auditorium at the Veterans Hospital to participate in their first clinical exposure - a medical case presentation. "In today's health care system, " Dr. Albert C. Rekate emphasized, "the solo discipline of the physician has disappeared. But leadership and coordination are skills you are expected to retain. Begin today to develop them as you talk to these patients. '' The professor of medicine and director of Rehabilitation Medicine pointed out . that he was present only as an interlocutor. "Mr. Kopinski, " asked a student, "what is your physical complaint?" Bad headaches keep building up, burning sensation in the nostrils, pain in right eye. "Any major illness? " asked another. No, but I have had hypertension. Interjected Dr. Rekate "doesn't the fact that our patient used a technical term surprise you? He no longer needs to say high blood pressure.' ' "How about your family status?" asked a third student. Single, live with a brother, both parents dead. "Do you smoke?" Yes , a pack a day . " What do you do? " Draftsman. "When you are not working?" Good times, have been engaged a couple of times . ''Could you possibly be suffering from a type of migraine?" YES. ''Do you see how long it takes a group taking a history to get to know a person?" Dr. Rekatedpointed out. "Family relations are important to our patient. Loss of family, frequent job moves take the pressure off of him. The pain in migraine a change in the circulation - comes with dilation of the artery. '' Questions were then directed to the second patient whose swollen feet and abdomen were clearly visible from the wheelchair in which he sat. Mr. Chester Boris, a 49 year old male railroad guard was separated from his wife. Very cold , unable to walk, he became sick right after Christmas. Yes , he drank a little every day. No, there had been no weight gain. Had been taking pills, now has a rash accompanied by itching. Remember the lock on wheelchairs, Dr. Rekate cautioned the group as he proceeded with an interesting story about alcoholism. "Our patient here blames his inlaws for his marriage breakup. Whiskey became a sedative for him. But he showed manifestation of liver disease, although he was not jaundiced. His job - for 22 years he worked 85 hours a week - was the major part of his life ."

The freshman of 1969 is a graduate from any one of 55 college campuses (includes U.S. Air Force Academy) that crisscross this nation. And his academic background ranges from science to the liberal arts - philosophy, psychology, history, English - or music or math. And in quite a few cases you may find him listed in Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges. But - he has a "mix" of interests. He may have captained a basketball or a baseball team, been selected as a candidate for the Olympic Soccer Team or just enjoyed playing a sport. Or he has probably held an office in a premedical society, a fraternity, or a social group, and worked with the underprivileged as part of the Big Brother or Upward Bound Programs. More women in this class, the records point out. And this year's freshman comes from a family background covering just about every field - law, business, teaching, manufacturing and industrial, agriculture as well as medicine and the health sciences. And in nine out of ten cases, the future MD has been exposed to some hospital experience, either as a technician or as an orderly. But the commitment is identical - he is one of the 104 in the medical class of 1973.0 Getting acquainted Many personalities Meeting old friends and making new ones �Pressure Chamber To Simulate Deepest Dives by Gail McBride A group of scientists in Buffalo are plainly more fascinated by what happens to man in the depths of Earth's oceans than on the backside of the Moon. For 21/2 years now, they have painstakingly planned, designed and dreamed of doing research in the world's highest pressure chamber, soon to be located on the campus. It will be capable of attaining a pressure of 170 atmospheres, or 2,500 pounds per square inch. This is equivalent to about 5,600 feet of depth underwater, and gives an idea of the tremendous pressures encountered at ocean depths. Only in Marseilles, France is there a chamber of similar size that can attain a pressure nearly as great. Part of the facility located in the laboratory of Prof. Jacques Chouteau, has a working pressure of 150 atmospheres. ''Many familiar physiological problems require further investigation at higher pressures," said Dr. Edward H. Lanphier, associate professor of physiology and director of the high pressure facility, in announcing the contract. "But the most crucial need is for a bold effort to determine what problems will set new limits to man's penetration of the sea at great depths and to what extent these can be circumvented or overcome. "Although our own present chamber can go to 7.8 atmospheres and others can go higher, their limits for human studies have been reached. A larger, more versatile chamber is needed." Members of the designing team were Dr. Lanphier, a former U.S. Navy submarine and diving medical officer; Richard A. Morin, director of facilities for Project Themis at the University and a former Navy diving hospital corpsman; John M. Canty, consulting engineer; and Dr. John N. Miller, a research associate in respiratory physiology. Much deep sea research utilizes the many types of manned submersible craft which can descend as deep as 8,000 feet [Lockheed's Deep Quest) or even 20,000 feet [the Navy's bathyscaphe Trieste II) for varying lengths of time. Research with the new chamber, however, will be directed at the diver who is unprotected by a steel shell. It is crucial to know how far a "useful diver" - one who can move about freely and apply his own senses and dexterity to tasks - can descend. ''And what we must discover,'' says Dr. Lanphier, "is how to enable man to go as deep as he possibly can. If deep diving can be accomplished only in submarines , attempting to work at great depths will be like living on earth without getting out of your car." Miss McBride was a science writer at the University before joining the AMA press relations staff The deepest actual dive made thus far was to 1,000 feet in 1962. The deepest simulated dive - in a dry, high pressure chamber - was to a depth of 1,190 feet, or about 36 atmospheres. This was in 1968 in France. [Each 33 feet of descent into the sea equals one additional atmosphere of pressure or an additional14.7 pounds per square inch.) 26 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �O?EAN SIMULATOR --: T~e worl~'s highest .working pressure of a~y high pressure chamber wtll be located at the Umve rs~ t y . Destgnedfor ultlmate use of man, it will be used fo r simulat mg dee p-sea dtVes. The 8 x 22 f oot chamber combining wet and dry compartments will be delivered in the fall of 1970.

"The ocean bottom is more likely to have valuable resources than the moon," Dr. Lanphier notes. "Yet, ironically , we haven't yet placed a man on the bottom of the ocean except in a steel sphere. Of course, there are good reasons. On the moon, the pressure is zero and a man must artificially maintain a pressure of 3.5 pounds per square inch - about a fifth of our normal sea-level pressure - in his space suit. But to oppose a pressure of 1,000 atmospheres in the deepest depths of the oceans is something else again. We are faced with the alternatives of putting the ocean diver in a strong structure to protect him or somehow ensuring that his physiological response to pressure at depth will be tolerable." The smaller vessel of the new high pressure chamber is a sphere, 7 feet in inside diameter, which is welded to the second vessel, a cylinder with rounded ends, 14 feet long and 7 feet high internally, with 5-inch-thick walls. Beyond this, the additional unusual features of the chamber probably will result in at least two patents. The cylindrical vessel contains the most interesting innovation - the combination of wet and dry compartments. The water is retained in one half of the cylinder by a pair of semicircular Plexiglas barriers so placed that a diver can climb over one and duck under the other to enter the water compartment. These barriers also can be moved about or dissembled to convert the wet and dry compartments into one dry compartment. WINTER, 1969 27 �These combination compartments are the subject of a patent application by the Navy. According to co-inventors Lanphier and Morin, they work on the same principle as a mercury barometer. "The basis is Torricelli's principle from the 17th Century," they say, "thus we 've only found a new application for an old idea." The new arrangement contrasts with the more common practice of lowering experimental divers into an attached pressurized compartment known as a ''wet pot''. The combination compartments are much less costly and more convenient to use, and furthermore will simplify breathing measurements made on divers. 1=- li Inert gas narcosis or "rapture of the deep" necessitates a shift to helium instead of nitrogen as an oxygen diluent at 200 to 300 feet of depth. There is the possibility that helium also will be found to have narcotic properties at greater depths. Decompression will become longer and more treacherous as dives become deeper. But, according to Dr. Lanphier, the saturation approach should make very deep diving practical "even if you have to decompress for a month after doing a month's useful work." Density ofthe breathing gases will continue to be a matter of concern, as it results in an increased effort to breathe and in the retention of too much carbon dioxide by the body. Possibly this will be relieved by some kind of mechanical breathing assistance as well as by the use of less dense gases. "Oxygen toxicity " is another 'Jamiliar" problem. Pure oxygen becomes toxic beyond 33 f eet of sea depth or two atmospheres. Another invention is a lightweight outside door assembly for a "pass-through" or "medical" lock, through which materials are passed in or out of a pressurized chamber. Customarily with such a lock, the outer door opens outward, the object is placed inside, and the lock is raised to full chamber pressure. The inside door of the lock - leading to the interior of the chambercan then be opened without losing pressure from the chamber. All of this means that the outside door of the lock must withstand the high pressure acting from within to force it open. Conventional doors of such locks require heavy and cumbersome mechanisms to hold the pressure inside and prevent leakage of gas around the seals; for the pressure of almost 100 tons that would be encountered with this chamber such a mechanism would be massive indeed. In the new design, however, not yet released in detail, the outside door becomes the only moving part and the pressure itself is the only sealing force. Co-inventors Morin and Lanphier note that there should be many other applications for this form of closure, which will work equally well against positive or negative pressure. The 200 or more openings in the chamber will range from 12 inches to 1/2 inch in diameter, the smaller ones for various instrument cables and pipes and the larger ones for interchangeable functions - another unusual feature. Some of the 12-inch openings will be used for viewports (windows) made of Plexiglas about 6 inches thick. These will be coneshaped much like those in the Piccard bathyscaphes, but will have specially designed frames to allow easy removal from the openings. Other of the large openings will interchangeably accommodate pass-through locks, life-support systems or other special units, all readily removable. Exploratory animal studies at great pressures will require remotely operated observation and information-gathering systems. Hence, another unusual feature of the chamber will be remotely controlled sampling of blood via catheters coming from an animal' s body and connected to a selector valve which cues the appropriate sample return. Through the same mechanism, drugs and intravenous fluids may be administered to the animals. Almost all by the wet temperatures, psychological 28 aspects of a deep ocean dive will b e simulated compartment: submergence, high pressure , low darkness and performance of work. Only the experience of being in the ocean will be lacking. THE BUFFA LG PHYSICIAN �~-- - --- Moreover, by utilizing the spherical vessel as a sea-lab habitat or decompression chamber, the dry compartment of the larger vessel as a vestibule, and the wet compartment as the ocean itself, simulation of both saturation and excursion dives will be possible. Regardless of the type of dive being simulated in the new chamber, the submerged diver usually will be working at simulated undersea or diving tasks. High on the list for investigation during these working dives will be four familiar problems of deep-sea diving to be studied at higher pressure than previously possible-inert gas narcosis, decompression problems, density of breathing gases and oxygen toxicity. Hydrostatic pressure and its controversial effects on man and animals lurks as the primary "new" problem at this time. There is considerable evidence that pressure itself is harmful to living tissues at pressures over 100 atmospheres. Other reports suggest that it harms animals at less pressures, such as 50 atmospheres for squirrel monkeys. It is likely, according to Dr. Lanphier, that even the rate of application of pressure makes a difference.O Saturation diving can be conducted either by living on the sea floor in a special "structure" like the Sealab III habitat or by using a pressurized submersible chamber to "commute" between the work site and a pressure chamber at the surface. The process called excursion diving permits a diver to work for limited periods at depths greater than his saturation level. Dr. Peter Isacson will direct a new laboratory established and supported by the East Side Coalition of Churches and Agencies in Buffalo to give blood tests to determine German measles susceptibility for all women of Western New York. Dr. Isacson is an associate professor of social and preventive medicine and director of the University's Vaccine Evaluation Unit. Dr. Almen Barron, director of Erie County's Virus Laboratories, will serve as assistant director. The laboratory is operating at the Main Street Division of the Medical School at 2211 Main Street. Sometime in 1970 the laboratory will probably move to the East Side Area served by the Coalition. The laboratory may become the nucleus for a health center on the East Side. All technicians and clerical personnel are from the inner city. The Coalition is responsible for the hiring, firing and salary schedules for all employees. The director and assistant director serve without salary. The Coalition has no state or federal grants to underwrite the project , only its own funds. It is hoped that eventually the laboratory will be self-supporting. Blood samples may be collected by a physician and sent to the laboratory for testing, or patients may be referred directly to the laboratory , where one of the trained technicians will take the blood and test it. Erie County patients will be billed $5 a test either directly or through their physician. Those from outside the county will pay an additional $2. If the test indicated that a woman has never had rubella and is, therefore, susceptible to it, she will be referred to her private physician or, if she has none, to the Erie County Health Department.O Dr. Isacson WINTER, 1969 29 Directs New Lab �Health Care In Israel by Barbara A. Blase, M.D. (Class of 1968) The health center in the Arab village of Tira . Watching the celebration of Passover by the Samaritans on a mountain top nea r Sh 'chem . 30 ''In discussing health care in Israel,'' said Dr. Barbara A. Blase, "one must remember that this is an area of the world which, in two decades, has eradicated diseases which plagued it for centuries. Once uninhabitable because of malaria-infested swamps, the coastal strip north of Tel Aviv is now a first-class resort which attracts many visitors. Appallingly high infant mortality and short life spans, once common in Israel and still present in surrounding countries, are no longer part of the Israeli health picture.'' She continued, '' In terms of international health, this should give encouragement to those who believe that with proper government support and popular education modern medicine can radically improve the health conditions of peoples in the developing nations .'' Barbara, a 1968 Medical School graduate, interned at Bronx Municipal Hospital Center, Albert Einstein Medical College, where she is also taking her residency. She participated in a 11-week training project in Israel in 1968, along with 10 other medical students selected by the American Association of Medical Colleges to study abroad under the new U.S. Public Health Service International Health Fellowship Program. Her training was divided between practical work, lectures, and conferences. It centered in the departments of internal medicine and pediatrics at the 935-bed Tel Hashomer Hospital (just outside of Tel Aviv), the outpatient and family medical services in an Arab village, and at a kibbutz. Originally army oriented, the government hospital Tel Hashomer now has several large buildings and a series of unattached quonset huts. "The doctor to whom I was assigned was quite eager to teach. The ward never before had a medical student,'' Barbara said. Four weeks spent in a general medical ward was followed by another two in nephrology. "I had no trouble with the physical examinations, but taking a history required a translator. An English-speaking patient from South Africa - a depressed patient - acted as interpreter. This was good therapy for her while being an invaluable service to me,'' she said. Tel Hashomer shared the tragedy of the IsraeliArab conflict. Treated in the wards during border clashes were wounded soldiers, several children rescued from a school bus that rode over a land mine, and Moshe Dayan the Minister of Defense, who was recovering from the effects of an excavation cave-in. THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �In Tira, an Arab village located near the old border of Israel, Barbara worked at the public health facility. Understaffed, it still provided very adequate care. Although Israel does not have socialized medicine, most of its inhabitants - Jew and Arab - belong to the Workers ' Union Health Service, which provides comprehensive health coverage. A typical Arab family lives in a clean but sparsely-furnished house. Barbara pointed out that although the average family appeared in general good health , " child-rearing practices , however, are outdated by a generation. In the Arab culture, it is the grandmother who makes the decisions and there are still some superstitions. For example , if an infant does not take milk well, it is believed that the uvula must be in the way and an uvulectomy is performed. The danger is that the child might bleed to death. '' During her last week in Israel, Barbara worked with the doctor at Kibbutz Beit Alfa , located at the foot of Mount Gilboa (just six miles from the Jordanian border). While medical problems there were fairly routine, what proved most fascinating was life on the kibbutz. "An idealistic economic cooperative,' ' she said, ''the 400 members work without wages. All of their needs are provided for by the kibbutz. Camels . . . . . . . . . . . feels like riding a ca rpet. . .. J "Children live in the 'children's home ' ," she continued, "and are cared for by nurses. They do spend time with their parents daily and there is no lack of parental affection.'' There was time to sightsee on weekends. One of the more interesting trips was into Jordan - to Sh' chem - where 100 of the surviving 400 Samaritans live. A very religious sect, their lives are dictated by the Five Books of Moses. On Passover, Barbara attended the sacrificial service on top of the holy mountain of Gerizim. " During the ceremony, the men, dressed in white, chanted in an ancient Hebrew dialect and the high priest performed the sacrifice of a young lamb on the altar. By this time the chanting reached a frenzied rhythm," she described. "Each child's forehead was dabbed with the blood of the sacrificial lamb , a sign that the Angel of Death shall pass over the Children of Israel. Barbara, with an American who came to buikl Kibbutz Beit Alfa about 32 years ago. ' 'Throughout Israel ,' ' Barbara emphasized, ' ' one sees a mixture of the old and the new. Traditions die hard. Fortunately - in the field of health - superstitions and cults have succumbed quickly to modern treatment and techniques." D WIN TER, 1969 31 �Fight on Senility Intermittent breathing of pure oxygen in a high pressure chamber has reversed some symptoms of senility in 13 elderly male hospital patients suffering from arteriosclerosis and has allowed them to make significant although perhaps temporary gains in intellectual performance. The patients were at the Buffalo Veterans Administration Hospital. The gains in intellectual performance were assessed by means of three psychological tests which were administered to each patient before and after the series of high pressure oxygen treatments. The tests are designed particularly to establish deficits in recent memory and in thinking. The authors termed the results ''extremely challenging in the light of increased longevity and the greater number of individuals who will most likely suffer from the effects of senility in the next few decades," but emphasized that they do not as yet understand what is happening and that "many, many questions remain unanswered.'' A diagnosis of cerebral arteriosclerosis means that the blood supply to the brain of these persons is considerably diminished. Hence the brain's essential supply of oxygen, which is carried in the blood, is also decreased, producing in some manner deficiences in memory and learning performance as well as behavior problems. Members of the team, all on the Medical School faculty and associated with the Buffalo Veterans Administration Hospital are: Dr. Eleanor A. Jacobs, clinical instructor in psychology in the department of psychiatry; Dr. Peter M. Winter, assistant research professor of anesthesiology; Dr. Harry ]. Alvis, associate dean and associate professor of preventive medicine, and director of the hyperbaric medicine facility at the VA hospital; D. S. Mouchly Small, professor and chairman of the department of psychiatry. In September Dr. Jacobs reported on the study to the American Psychological Association in Washington, D.C., and Dr. Winter gave a paper to the 4th International Congress ofHyperbaric Medicine in Sapporo, Japan. For this reason and because intellectual functioning generally diminishes with aging, the physicians decided to use oxygen as an experimental "drug" to treat the senile patients. A hyperbaric chamber - one in which the atmosphere is at higher than normal pressures - was utilized because oxygen is more easily absorbed into the bloodstream under high pressure, and the desirable higher oxygen tension in the blood is achieved. Eight of the 13 VA Hospital patients, whose mean age was 68, were the experimental subjects in the study; they breathed 100 per cent oxygen through a mask while at a pressure of 2.5 atmospheres absolute (21/2 times normal sea-level pressure) in the hyperbaric chamber. The other five patients were "control" subjects, matched to five of the experimental subjects; they were at the same pressure in the hyperbaric chamber but instead of pure oxygen breathed a mixture of 10 per cent oxygen and 90 per cent nitrogen - similar to breathing normal air at normal sea-level pressure. This was to make sure that any gains in intellectual performance were due to breathing pure oxygen under high pressure and not just to high pressure alone. For 15 consecutive days each patient entered the hyperbaric chamber for 90 minutes twice a day to breathe either 100 per cent oxygen of the 10 per cent oxygen-90 per cent nitrogen mixture. He was not told which percentage of oxygen he was breathing. 32 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �All patients who breathed the pure oxygen scored significantly higher on the psychological tests after the treatment regimen than they did prior to the treatments. The control patients, on the other hand, showed no change. However, when these control patients were later allowed to go through the pure oxygen treatments they, too, displayed significant gains on the psychological tests. (Dr. Jacobs, who administed the psychological tests both before and after the treatments, did not know which patients had breathed what percentages of oxygen until the end of the experiments.) Ward personnel and the patients themselves noticed also behavioral and physiological changes, such as "just feeling better'' and increases in appetite. Blood samples taken from both experimental and control patients during the procedures showed that the oxygen tension in the arteries of the pure-oxygen breathing patients had risen considerably above that of the control patients. Oxygen content in the blood also rose substantially. Again stressing that she and fellow scientists do not really know why they are seeing these gains in intellectual performance, Dr. Jacobs said: "We know the effects last at least 24 hours, but how much longer we don't yet know. Other investigators have shown that under such conditions all oxygen absorbed within the high pressure chamber should be washed out of the body within 30 minutes after emerging from the chamber, so obviously we are seeing some kind of residual effect. "In some way the oxygen delivery system must be stimulated in the brain so that undernourished tissues get more oxygen and function better," she said. "We must see how long these effects last," Dr. Jacobs continued, "and so currently we are doing duration studies whereby we wait to give the second round of tests to the patients until 72 hours, one week, two weeks and so on after the final treatment. Obviously we cannot test these patients more than twice with the same psychological tests because they will become too familiar with them. Eventually, of course, we would like to determine just how often a person might have to take a hyperbaric oxygen treatment to maintain these results. "Another thing to determine is how long an exposure time is necessary, and even whether high pressure is necessary at all. Perhaps just breathing pure oxygen at surface pressure would be sufficient. And there may be other ways, equally good, of getting oxygen into the system and to the brain.'' The scientists also are looking at the detailed biochemicalphysical events going on in the brains of the patients and are performing before-and-after electroencephalograms, blood chemistry analyses and spinal taps. They plan also to develop a behavioral observation scale and new psychological tests. In addition, they would like to determine the effects of pure oxygen breathing on learning-in normal persons and mentally retarded persons as well.O WINTER, 1969 33 �Cytogenetics CYTOGENETICS- the study of chromosomes and genes - is a field barely ten years old. And it has involved Dr. Maimon Cohen since he joined the School of Medicine four years ago. While the associate professor of pediatrics and microbiology's clinical responsibility covers multiple congenital anomalies, undiagnosed genetic diseases, and involvement in counseling between 300 to 350 patients a year (mostly referrals), his research centers mainly on chromosome breakage - in an attempt to pinpoint the mechanism for some types of chemical agents. One postulated mechanism - hydrolytic lysosomal enzymes may be instrumental in causing damage to DNA (the chromosomes), particularly DNASE which in various systems has been shown to cause chromosomal damage. If this postulation were to prove true, agents known to be chromosome breakers should have an effect on lysosomes. A regimen was established. Used were agents known to break chromosomes, to rupture lysosomes as well as compounds (corticosteroids and chloroquin) capable of protecting them. Biochemical electromicroscopy and cytological means revealed that known chromosome breaking agents had no effect on lysosomes, that corticosteroids offered no protective influence, and that lysosomal breaking agent - Vitamin A compounds - did not induce chromosome damage. The possibility of lysosomal involvement in the mechanism of chromosome breakage by these agents was therefore ruled out. But Dr. Cohen is off on a tanget with Vitamin A. What is really significant about chromosome breakage? "We don't yet know," Dr. Cohen said. "But if we can discover the underlying mechanism of chromosome breakage, perhaps we may be able to protect against it. All of the breaking agents in the human population have not yet been assessed. But attention is increasingly focusing on "environmental mutagenesis" as it is scientifically termed. Among suspected breaking agents are artificial sweeteners in soft drinks, various components of air pollution (ozones), benzene , and some of the other solvents. Dr. Cohe n .• Concerned about these chemical mutagens, an international society - Dr. Cohen is one of 30 members - will soon publish a "cookbook" covering standardized methods and types of tests for agents reported to be mutagenic . , But there are other areas of research. Dr. Cohen is investigating the stages of early embryogenesis, using proper biochemical and cytological marker systems to aid in estimating the time at which gene activity begins, especially for the X chromosome or sex-linked genes . I ...:r.J,·:.: .., -· . '": ~ ')) 110 t JIUliUI: U . UUIA ... " And there are investigations by Drs. Cohen and Carl Gans (Biology) in evolutionary cytogenetics. One recently completed study on surviving crocodilia points to the possible taxonomic reorientation of this class of reptiles. D 34 THE BUFFALO PHYSIC IAN �One of the processes which prevents us from becoming sick is Phagocytosis - the "eating up" of foreign particles of bacteria by our white cells. Because bacteria differ in their surface properties, some get eaten up faster than others. When the rate is fast enough we remain in good health, if not we become ill. Dr. Carel J. van Oss wants to identify these surface properties and to find out what the connection, if any, is between these and the process itself. "We are beginning to measure the surface properties of different species of bacteria,'' pointed out the associate professor of microbiology, ''as well as their ability to absorb gamma globulin. We can then try to correlate the data obtained with the degree to which our white cells (or "neutrophils" as they are termed) tend to phagocytize various types of bacteria."D Dr. Ernst H. Beutner, professor of microbiology, is the director of a two-fold program of service and education that will be carried out by a immunofluorescent antibody testing laboratory. The Regional Medical Program of Western New York is financing the project through a $48,000 grant for the first year. Since 1963 this laboratory at the University has been financed from other sources. The program is designed to bring the benefits of new research - particularly in the fields of heart disease, cancer and stroke - more quickly to practicing physicians and his patients. Dr. Beutner pointed out that immunofluorescent antibody tests have proved valuable in the diagnosis of several diseases: rheumatoid arthritis and related conditions; pemphigus; myasthenia gravis; atrophic gastritis; and pernicious anemia. The new, expanded program will inform physicians of the availability and value of the tests; assist hospital laboratories in developing their own fluorescent antibody testing programs by offering seminars for laboratory directors, training technicians, supplying participating laboratories with the reagents and quality control procedures; and perform free tests for physicians in the region to demonstrate their value. The program has helped several hospitals - Buffalo General, Meyer Memorial, Veterans, and St. Vincents in Erie, Pa. - set up their own laboratories.D Dr. Paul Leber has joined the department of pathology of the School of Medicine. The 32-year old pathologist received his M.D. degree with Honors in Physiology from New York University School of Medicine (1963). Prior to entering the field of pathology, Dr. Leber served as an intern on the Osler Service of Johns Hopkins and as a medical resident at Bellevue Hospital. Trained in pathology at Bellevue-NYU Medical Center, he is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pathology. Dr. Leber will be active in the development and teaching of the pathology curriculum, in addition to his research activities. In the past, Dr. Leber has worked in the areas of enzyme kinetics and renal physiology. He is a member of the American Society of Nephrology.D WINTER, 1969 35 Phagocytosis Dr. Beutner Directs Immunof 1uorescen t Antibody Tests Dr. Paul Leber Joins Faculty �Dr. Fahey d emonstrates the electro nys trograph to its contributor, Mr. Da vis. 18 Million Americans Have Nerve Deafness Dr. Hemani adjusts the microto ne for serial sectioning of the first temporal bo ne bequeathed to the Temporal Bone Bank. Over 18 million Americans - three million are children have some degree of hearing loss due to nerve deafness. If the hearing loss is due to an inner ear disorder, chances are that it may never be either medically or surgically treatable. What hope then for this sizable chunk of the population? A national commitment - of which Surgery's division of otolaryngology headed by Dr. John Lore is a part - into its prevention. Two new laboratories have opened under otolaryngologists Daniel J. Fahey and Joel M. Bernstein. One- a clinical laboratory to study vestibular disorders - is located at the Kenmore Mercy Hospital. Here , electro nystrographic records* are made on the balance portion of the patient's inner ear. "When we stimulate the inner ear with either warm or cold water," Dr. Bernstein explained, "it causes involuntary ( nystagmus) movements of the eyes. Through a permanent recording of these nystagmus movements, we hope to learn more about problems of dizziness caused by inner ear problems." But, the clinical instructor in surgery cautioned, this may account for just one small part of the patient's dizziness. Added Dr. Fahey (associate clinical professor of surgery and president of Buffalo's Hearing and Speech Clinic): "this sophisticated examination is available to area physicians. We hope they will utilize it for their private patients.' ' The second laboratory - research and teaching oriented is located at the Meyer Hospital. It is here where specimens are processed and inner ear disorders studied. This temporal bone pathology laboratory - animal as well as human - is one of over 40 in the country and is affiliated with the eastern temporal bone facility headed by Johns Hopkins University. In its dissection room - where the first human temporal Equipmentpurchased through a ~5 , 000 gift from Mr.Joseph Davis, mechanical contractor, who has headed the Buffalo Hearing and Speech Clinic for 15 years. 0 36 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �- - - - - - ~ - - -- - - bone (it is otosclerotic) is being processed - residents will study the anatomy and surgical procedures in the middle and inner ear. There is a great need for temporal bone donations - the temporal bones contain the inner ear and their nerve structures - if we are going to correlate the hearing loss with its pathology, pointed out Dr. Bernstein. " Because of its inaccessible location in the head , we have never been able to study the inner ear in the live patient. The nationwide temporal bone banks program maintains a medical and hearing history on each inner ear structure bequeathed. Upon death of the donor, this information becomes invaluable to us," he said. "We are interested in people with hearing problems," continued the pathology-oriented otolaryngologist. "Yes, " concurred Dr . Fahey . " But we want to study all forms of ear disorders hearing losses of the aging or presbycusis as it is medically called , patients who do not do well with hearing aids, who have h ead nois es , Meni ere ' s disease as well as all sorts of viral inf ections (Mumps , German Measles] involving the inner ear. " Summed up Dr. Bernstein: ' 'the breakthroughs we are looking for will probably take place in the prevention of congenital deafness. With the now available German measles vaccine, the socalled Rubella deafness syndrome may be completely irradicated. Our greatest contribution may therefore be the prevention of inner ear disorders and not in its treatment. '' 0 While Drs.

Co- investigators are Edward Marra, M.D. (chairman, department of social and preventive medicine); William Mosher, M.D. (commissioner of Health, Erie County Health Department); John B. Graham, M.D. (associate professor of gynecology - obstetrics); and John C. Patterson, M.D. (acting chief, Roswell Park's department of gynecology). Department of Health, Education and Welfare seed grant totalling over $1,000,000 has been awarded to the departments of social and preventive medicine and sociology to develop a program of study into the development and prevention of cancer. "Not only must we study the factors in the development of cancer," Dr. Saxon Graham said, "but ways of applying information obtained from these studies must be pursued to reduce the illness. Mere knowledge that smoking is related to lung cancer will not protect public health. We must either change the nature of the smoke or persuade the public to smoke less." Research into its prevention, he pointed out, becomes as necessary a step as research into its development. The data linking the two areas naturally suggest fields and approaches to study, he added. Program studies will center on continued research into cancer of the lung, stomach, breast, cervix as well as leukemia. Prevention studies will zero in on such problems as reducing smoking to control lung cancer, cervical cytology screening, the public image of cancer and reasons for public delay in seeking care following recognition of symptoms. Many problems must be investigated in lung cancer. Heavy smokers in older age groups will be studied to determine how those who develop lung or other respiratory site cancers differ from those who do not. Hopefully, data collected may pinpoint factors other than smoking. Why do people smoke? What leads some to give up the habit successfully? Information obtained from the group's studies will be used to develop ways to further reduce smoking. Random community-wide samples will be used to assess different approaches to mass communication techniques. A previous study of 3,400 Buffalo-Kenmore citizens indicated that a spouse and siblings are more likely to smoke if a parent does. In high school, a student is more likely to smoke if one of his parents smokes and the possibility increases if his best friends smoke. A group approach to helping people stop smoking may therefore be pursued. It was also found that information on health hazards of smoking was an important factor leading to success in giving up the habit. Different methods of group persuasion to give up smoking may be attempted and assessed by interviewing a sample of the target area. Previous studies in the area of gastric cancer pointed to a high incidence in lower socioeconomic groups among Negroes, 38 THE BUFFALO PHYSICIAN �in certain ethnic groups (Japanese and Polynesians), among metal workers, and residents of high air pollution areas. Dr. Graham therefore feels that an outside factor may be an important contributing cause of this disease and studies will continue. Studies in ways of persuading women in the community to obtain cytological studies for the detection of cervical cancer are planned. In addition, factors in the epidemiology of cervical cancer will be studied. In dealing with breast studies, the socioeconomic relations revealed in a previous study on the Buffalo and Kenmore population - relationship of late age at first and last pregnancies to breast cancer will be carefully reviewed. Leukemia, another area to be pursued, will focus on analysis of data or a previous unexamined tri-state leukemia study. Acute and chronic leukemias in upstate New York, and urban areas of Baltimore and Minneapolis, with random control samples from the same areas will be compared. One of the approaches to the prevention of cancer lies in the activities of health guides. These employees of the Erie County Health Department personally contact families in their assigned neighborhoods. Studies will be undertaken of the use of health guides in spreading information to aid in the prevention of cancer. "We also want to study the images of various community hospitals." Dr. Graham pointed out. "How are these images acquired and if they are poor ones, how can they be changed so that care for cancer as well as other diseases will be sought at an earlier date?" The personal interview will continue to serve as the prime instrument in these studies. Interviewers will receive extensive training. Methods to be used will be based on the needs of each study. Area hospitals will be utilized for patient studies. And the community will also be used for certain studies, as will Erie County Health Department and New York State Tumor Registry records. Dr. Graham concluded: ''The approach which we plan to use - studying the social factors in the development of cancer, methods to change people's behavior toward a more healthful direction, and persuading them to seek care immediately after symtoms develop - will hopefully shed some light on ways of reducing death and suffering from cancer. If we are to pursue all of the projects outlined - particularly those involving surveys of large populations - additional funds will have to be sought." D WINTER, 1969 39 Dr. Graham �From the desk of Sidney Anthone, M.D. Preside nt , M edical Alumni Associa tio n After a pleasant summer interlude, the Medical Alumni Executive Committee reconvened and recounted the alumni activities since their last meeting in June of 1969. Of important note was the success of the Buffalo Medical Alumni cocktail party held at the Americana Hotel on July 14 during the annual convention of the American Medical Association in New York City. Dean Pesch and many representatives from Buffalo helped entertain the New York group. Progress was made in laying the groundwork for reactivation of a New York City area Medical Alumni Chapter of the Buffalo Medical Alumni Association. There were also cocktail receptions at the American Academy of General Practitioners in Philadelphia September 30, and at the American College of Surgeons in San Francisco October 7. Mr. David M. Krajewski, director of medical alumni affairs, coordinated and attended the meetings. Two others are planned - February 8-12 at the Medical Society of New York State Convention, New York City, and the American College of Physicians Convention, April12-17, Philadelphia. 40 Another noteworthy happening was the presentation at the convocation program of the Medical School on September 3, of the Buffalo Medical Alumni Award for outstanding scholastic achievement during the Junior year to Michael Lippman, now a senior student at the Medical School. This award is a $100 check plus a handsome desk set. Also the Medical Executive Committee was informed that Paul M. Ness who is now entering his junior year at the medical school, received the Alumni Scholarship of $1,500 for this year (1969-1970). Mr. Ness came to the medical school very highly recommended from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The program committee of the Medical Alumni Association is now finalizing the program for the forthcoming Spring Clinical Days on April 10 & 11, 1970. It behooves all to set aside these two days for this event as the program will be most interesting and provocative . The Stockton Kimball lecturer will be Dr. Robert Evans, Director of Medical Education at York Hospital, Pennsylvania. He will discuss the advantages of community hospital teaching, the place where health delivery to the community takes place. Other topics to be heard during the two day meeting will be subjects pertaining to the physician's role in sex education, social hazards of the physician's life, and a general review of the latest treatment of duodenal ulcers. We are looking forward once again to seeing all the Medical Alumni gathered together for these Spring Clinical Days.

Robert Wilb ee and Richard Adler present pic tures to Dr. Paine at the luncheo n. Dr. John R. Paine, chairman of the medical school' s department of surgery and Buffalo General Hospital Surgery head for twenty years, has retired. He is the first physician to perform heart surgery in Buffalo and establish heart surgery programs at both the Buffalo General and the Children' s Hospitals. Born in Dallas , Texas , he completed his medical degree at Harvard College . Both internship (surgical) and residency were completed at the University of Minnesota Hospital where he also held a subsequent appointment as research assistant at the University of Minnesota . During and following World War Two he served as a Major for three and a half years with the 25th General Hospital Unit in Europe , retiring as a Lt. Colonel. He came to Buffalo from the University of Minnesota in 1947 as professor of surgery and surgery chief at the Buffalo General Hospital. Two years later he headed the School of Medicine's department of surgery. In 1967 he was awarded the fifth Stockton Kimball Award for his great strides in unifying and in building the department of surgery, adding to its strengths and specialties, and in leading the department and working to plan for its future. Active in his contributions in the field of intestinal obstruction, he has published widely. Dr. and Mrs. Paine will live at their home on Jekyll Island, Georgia. They have a daughter, Mrs. Judith Kelly, who lives in Connecticut, and a son, Dr. Jonathan Paine, a 1969 graduate of the Buffalo School of Medicine who is now interning at the University of Iowa Hospitals in Iowa City.D Dr. Pain e receives his po rtrait at the banquet .

Honored at Symposium, Banquet An aU-day symposium at the Buffalo General Hospital honored Dr. Paine, Sept. 27. It was arranged by the Surgical Residents Alumni Association of the Hospital. Sixtyfive residents who served under his aegis returned to honor him. At the symposium scientific sessions included papers on Problems of Organ Transplants by Buffalo's Dr. Roland Anthone and Dr. Joseph R. Gerbasi and Maryland's Dr. Robert Ollodart; and Coronary Artery Visualization by Cincinnati's Dr. Fernando Mendez. A book - pictures and bibliographies of residents during 22 years under Dr. Paine were presented to him at a luncheon given by the residents. Mrs. Paine was also honored by the wives of the residents at a luncheon. Over 200 faculty, colleagues and friends attended a testimonial dinner for Dr. Paine at the Buffalo Athletic Club, where a large colored portrait of the noted physician was presented to the Buffalo General Hospital. Also presented to Dr. Paine was the following printed tribute: In the twenty-two years since his appointment as Professor of Surgery and Head of that department at the Buffalo General Hospital, and the twenty years of his chairmanship of the department in the School, he has unwaveringly maintained the same high principles in the teaching and practice of surgery which so impressed the search committee that was responsible for his appointment here. His steadfast dedication to the school and support of its goals have never been more apparent than in recent days. The Committee will miss his pungent remarks and wry humor which often seasoned its meetings, and frequently added perspective to its deliberations. His many friends and colleagues ofthe faculty will miss the firm and fair leadership which has guided the department and which, in times of stress, has always responded beyond the call. From a divided house he has evolved cohesiveness - a tribute to his persuasiveness, his realism and his convictions. The members of the Executive Committee extend to Dr. Paine their gratitude and warm best wishes, and record these sentiments in the Minutes of this meeting. June 19, 1969 The Executive Committee of the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine wishes to honor John Randolph Paine on the occasion of his retirement from the chairmanship of the Department of Surgery, and to record its respect for the physician and its fond associations with the man.

President Nixon praised ''the incredibly great contribution you have made to those whom you have helped over so many years and the part you have had in the remarkable transformation of human life during your years of practice.'' Detailing some of the changes that have taken place in the last 50 years, President Nixon concluded: ''To have lived in such a time indeed distinguished you. ''To have worked toward making those vast changes possible distinguishes you even more. For surely the triumphs of this remarkable age would not have been possible if many had not first determined to place the highest value on all of life and health.

It is designed to make each student a responsible partner in planning his own education. Flexibility and individuality are the key words in the new program. THERE WILL BE A NEW CURRICULUM Dean LeRoy A. Pesch said, ''required courses in basic science and clinical medicine will be reduced by nearly 50 per cent from 140 weeks to 74. Instead of eight weeks of elective programs the student will have 74." Each basic science department cut its required course time by one-third to one-half by developing a "core course" that gives students a distillation of the knowledge that is indispensible for the effective practice of medicine in any sphere. Dr. Pesch explained that this does not mean simply a compression of all that is now taught into a shorter period of time. It means careful selection of the most salient points. There will be other specialized courses in each science for those who want to delve into them more deeply courses they can take as electives. The new curriculum will place increased emphasis on clinical medicine. Many of th~ ~rec~p­ tors will be private practitioners .o.f medic~ne, Including general practitioners affiliated With the School of Medicine. There will be more opportunity for students to work with patients - beginning in their freshman year - and get credit for doing so. Credit may be given for time spent with a general practitioner in his office or for service in the Lackawanna Health Center opened last year. Beginning in September, each freshman student will be assigned to a faculty advisor or preceptor who will help him with his program and problems. At the end of six months, there will be an opportunity to change preceptors if the combination is not working out. Medical students will be encouraged to take accredited courses in other divisions of the University. To enable him to take courses outside his own school, the calendar of the Medical School is being changed to confo!'m to that of the University. Dr. Pesch is hopeful that the curriculum changes, by reducing the time spent in the basic sciences, will make more laboratory space and faculty time available for teaching more students. Dr. Edward J. Marine, associate dean, said the new curriculum is ''in tune with the national trend. The explosion of knowledge has made it mandatory that we change our teaching methods. Many of today's medical school graduates are at the level of intern graduates several years ago. We are trying to develop a program that will allow some of our students to intern during their senior year. "We are certain the new curriculum will make physicians more family oriented and meet the needs of group practice. We should also be able to graduate more and better physicians,'' Dr. Marine concluded. He headed the curriculum committee.O THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Three years ago I realized that my tolerance for the administrative duties of a department chairman was approaching zero. It also became painfully clear to me that my knowledge of mathematics and engineering was utterly inadequate to support my research interests in the behavior of biological feedback mechanisms. I quit my chairmanship and went back to school. I started as a student in a 12-week summer program which Professor Thrall in the Department of Mathematics at Michigan had designed specifically for mathematically-naive life scientists. I spent the following academic year in Professor Lawrence Stark 's Department oj Biomedical Engineering at the Chicago Circle Campus, University of Illinois, also taking one graduate cour e at Northwestern. And lastly I spent a year in Professor Paton 's Department of Pharmacology at Oxford, where I wrote a monograph entitled Control Theory~y~gical Feedback Mechanisms. To these eminent cientists and to their many colleagues who contributed to my re-education, I am most grateful. I would also like to thank the School of Medicine for giving me two years' leave ofabsence, and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, N.I.H., for financial support in the form of a Special Research FellOtcship. The following account is a slightly expanded ver ion of a seminar which I gave last Fall to the Physiology and Pharma cology Departments upon m11 return to Buffalo. In a seminar especially a seminar for old Jriends - one can be more personal and less sedate than is usually considered proper in print. This explains the informal style of my narrative. As for its content, I make no apology. I have said the things which I felt needed saying and I have pulled no punches. I am grateful to the !1yjfp.lo Medical Review for letting me address a wider audience. FALL, 1969 IT STANDS TO REASON that recovery from being a department chairman should be hastened by a wellorganized program of occupational therapy. It was certainly so in my case. But the supposition is hard to prove. Most victims of this crippling disease exhibit few outward or visible signs of their inward and intellectual decay until it is too late for any sort of treatment. They totter bravely on from committee to conference, from conference to staff meeting, from staff meeting to project site visit, from project site visit to planning session, from planning se stion to committee, always concealing the true gravity of their condition by the efficient performance of their administrative chores. I have even observed this deceptive appearance of well-being to persist during those terminal stages of the disease marked by the victim's accepting a Deanship. It is a horrible fate! Requiescat in pace! 3 Instructor Reinstru tus or My n<Jt..quite-so-bright college years by Dr. Douglas . Rigg �I turn with infinite gratitude to my own situation. I was lucky. After 11 years of department chairmanship, I presented a picture of mental deterioration so advanced, so obvious, so revolting, that I was allowed to resign. But the National Institutes of Health, discussing the feasibility of retraining what they delicately called ''the mature scientist," were looking for a test case. They gave me a special fellowship. I guess they felt that if something could be salvaged from my wreckage, anybody, however "mature," could be rehabilitated. For their support I am profoundly thankful. They sent me back to school to learn some mathematics and engineering. I begin by scotching an ugly rumor that one's brain cells disappear one by one -with no replacement - as age advances. I would like to begin that way, but honesty forbids. Alas, the ugly rumor is all too true! One does not have the same mental equipment - past half-century - that one had thirty years since. In fact one is not quite so bright as one used to be. That is all I mean by my subtitle. ... "registration in the M aidenform Bra Building" ... My experience as a student again was as bright as any I have ever known. Clear and intense it shines out against the dark background of my administrative years. Going back to school is in some respects an odd business. Of course, the first thing was to register. At the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle Campus, registration is no mean achievement. I had often heard students complain about registration procedures. But I thought they were just being unreasonable. Unreasonable my eye! 4 At the Chicago Circle Campus, anybody who actually completes his registration within 24 hours is immediately awarded his degree magna cum laude no questions asked! It took me three full days. The lowest point was having to fulfill the inflexible requirements of their Graduate School - to submit official transcripts of my previous work. I wrote to Yale (you see I really do know all about the "bright college years") asking them to dig up my grades from the Sheffield Scientific School, long since defunct. May God bless Yale! Their archeological investigations were faultless. The records were located, the spiderwebs removed, the dust blown off, the pre-xeroxian records xeroxed, and the transcripts mailed. The next lowest point was registration in the Maidenform Bra building - I am in some doubt about the brand, but perfectly clear about the commodity - and having one of the sub-sub-subregistrars ask coldly, --On whose behalf are you registering? There were no high points in registration. The first serious observation about my recent experience as a student - though there was indeed a noticeable decrease in my mental ability - was evidenced only by a slowing down of my intellectual processes. It did not, so far as I could judge, impair my ability to understand new mathematical concepts or to master new mathematical techniques. I found that I could do perfectly well in my formal course work provided that I took only about two-thirds of the load which my classmates were carrying. Two-thirds is a rough estimate, for I was THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �behind the class in academic preparation. I had to do a fair amount of unscheduled reviewing. On the other hand, I was ahead of the class in the kind of scientific savoir faire which comes from grappling with real-life problems over many years. But these are details. The important point is that when a faculty member needs additional formal course work, he should not worry about his mental qualifications for the job provided he can devote a substantial amount of time - and regularly- to the course work. Nor should he fear being looked upon as an elderly oddball by his younger classmates. It is remarkable how quickly the generation gap narrows when the rest of the class realizes that you are just as confused as they are about where to put the plusses and minuses when analyzing the response of an electrical network to stored energy. I am well aware that few will be able to take a full calendar year of concentrated course work as I did. But I see no reason why the same end result could not be achieved more gradually by taking one course at a time over a period of years. I feel strongly that the reinstruction of instructors should become a regularly accepted part of faculty life. My second serious observation is that the predominantly undergraduate courses which I took were distinguished by a general excellence of teaching far too rarely encountered in our medical schools. So struck by the contrast, I tried to summarize it in a report to my N.I.H. Committee at FALL, 1969 the end of my training period a year ago. I quote from that report: ''Good Teaching versus Bad Teaching A good teacher is expert in his own field and competent in related fields. He knows what level of understanding his students have alnady achieved when they begin his course. He leads them out from there. It is an orderly and well-paced sweep through new territory, the teacher ahead (but never out of sight!). the students jogging breathless but not exhausted behind. As new terms or new concepts are encountered the good teacher defines them precisely, indicates their scope of usefulness, and illustrates them with specific examples. He warns his students of hidden difficulties and pitfalls, but he also makes them see the beauty and elegance of the subject. He misses no opportunity to show the students how really limited are the areas already explored, and how vast is the terra incognita which lies just beyond the hills on the horizon. Perhaps I have been unusually lucky, but this is just the kind of teaching which I have encountered in the nonmedical school courses I have elected this past year. I think it significant that each of these courses was taught throughout by the same instructor. It was his course and he took nride in it. He was a teacher by profession. My experience (I speak from many years past, and not just from last year) in medical school courses too often points to examples of bad teaching. The bad teacher is expert in but a very small sector of his subject. He cannot see the woods for the trees and he bewilders his students by delivering a seri of lectures consisting of slides of his own work stru together by an unprepared patter of technical jargon. Or far worse, he pretends a knowledge of his field which he does not possess and he gives foolish, illogical, outmoded lectures. Or worst of all, he is patronizing to his students. There is nothing a student more justly resents than being talked down to. The bad teacher is late to class or never shows up at all. When he does get going he runs overtime. He assigns laboratory exercises too complex to complete in the time allotted. The equipment doesn't work. The animals are not ready. The instructors 5 �. . . "the only way a student really learns . .. is by beating his brains out" ... are not available. The bad teacher is not a teacher by profession. His bread is buttered by research productivity . The five or six lectures he gives during the school year are a sideline - an excuse for an academic title . They occupy no significant segment of his life , and they are treated accordingly. " Let me make my point even more forcefully. At the Chicago Circle Campus, I had a superb three-semester course in linear systems analysis taught by a brilliant young engineer, Professor Agarwal. He started out with a two-week review of what seemed to be half of College Physics. And he ended up with a lucid explanation of how to use matrix techniques to analyze linear feedback systems with multiple inputs and outputs. He delivered every lecture. He supervised every laboratory. He corrected every homework exercise. He devised every examination. He answered our questions with an astounding grasp of a very broad field. Any student who passed his course had a firm working knowledge of the fundamentals of lumped-parameter systems analysis. No doubt about it! How would a medical school department have approached teaching such a course? In need of a concrete example, I apologize in advance to my colleagues in the Pharmacology Department. Professor Smith would begin with five lectures on atomic structure and the rate of diffusion of electrons through a metallic conductor in an electromagnetic field. He would be followed by Dr. Albuquerque who would deliver seven lectures on the design of commercial amplifiers. I would then give six lectures on the uselessness of transfer function analysis in nonlinear sys6 terns with special stress on bang-bang nonlinearities . Dr. Rennick, our expert in fluid flow, would devote seven lectures detailing the water supply for New York City. Dr. Reynard would then show, in four justlyrenowned lectures, how to describe an electrophoresis pattern as a Fourier series sum of sines and cosines. And to end the first trimester in a blaze of glory, we would invite Professor Snell, as an outside expert, to discuss in three lectures the stability of linear feedback systems from the standpoint of irreversible thermodynamics. Of course I've left some of the pharmacology staff out. Their fields of special competence will not be touched upon until the second or third trimester. And it is a pity because there isn't going to be any second or third trimester for this course. Our students - to the last man have transferred to the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle Campus. I really have no good idea what to do about this problem. The pattern is firmly established in practically all of our medical school departments. It is likely to continue. But let us at least be honest about it. It does not make for good teaching. This brings me to my third observation. In a school of engineering, the instructors are singularly unimpressed by what we would term the basic or pre-engineering sciences. They encourage their students to look Laplace transforms up in a table instead of deriving them from the defining integral. They don't seem to realize how fundamentally important the precise chemical composition of transistors is, and they tend to be satisfied if the student understands what a transistor does. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Such basic subjects as atomic and molecular structure, statistical mechanics, quantum theory, and crystallography are neglected, while down-toearth matters such as computer science, circuit diagrams, transfer function analysis, the stability of feedback loops, and the perpetuation of limit cycle activity are emphasized. Students are even expected to learn about certain empirical techniques - small-signal stabilization which are of considerable practical importance but are not supported by a body of rigorous theory. We would undoubtedly call this sort of thing ''the art of engineering.'' As a basic scientist, I was naturally distressed by such callous neglect of the fundamentals and by the engineers' preoccupation with the everyday tools of their profession. But then I began to think about what I want my physician to know when I have my coronary occlusion. I want him to know everything there is to know about the interpretation of electrocardiograms, about acute circulatory failure, about antiarrhythmic drugs, and about the sovereign virtues of morphine. I want him not to know where the methyl groups are on the cholesterol crystals in my atheromatous plaques. I want him not to know anything about the Hodgkin-Huxley equations, even though they help to explain how the crushingly painful message gets from my heart to my brain. I want him not to know that morphine has both an alcoholic and a phenolic hydroxyl, and an excitatory effect in racehorses. I want him not to know these things because they would clutter up his mind with a bunch of totally irrelevant information, thereby reducing his effectiveness as a FALL, 1969 clinician. But there is something else I do want in my physician and it is not based upon a body of rigorous theory. I want him to know me well enough as an individual to realize that I am not the sort of person to accept gracefully the halfalive role of a cardiac invalid. If things look dubious I want him to let ventricular fibrillation convey me quickly and kindly into that eternal nothingness which constitutes the second boundary condition for life. Physician, I want no compromises! If my infarct be massive, let me go! Send the defibrillator off to a younger patient. Do not detain me beyond my appointed hour in the hope that some scalpelhappy colleague of yours will transplant a news item into my chest. I now want to make the most important observation about my recent experience as a student. It is simply this. The only way a student ever really learns mathematics or engineering or systems analysis is by beating his brains out trying to solve substantial problems assigned as homework. You can listen to lectures, read textbooks, study your notes until doomsday, and you will have learned nothing. When you are forced to fight your way throu a couple of well-posed homework problems, that 's when the educational process really sets in! I'm sorry to have to tell you that all of the dull old cliches are true. We do profit by our mistakes. We do learn by doing. Experience is the best teacher. You can now see that in describing the Good Instructor I left out his most important characteristic. He regularly assigns, collects, corrects, re7 ... "physician, I want no compromises" ... �. . . "let us think twice what we fill it with" ... turns, and discusses homework. How often do we do that in medical school courses? I know what your reply is going to be. You will tell me, " it is one thing to emphasize homework in the exact sciences. It is quite another thing in the biological sciences. The biological sciences are not exact. Because of the complexities and the uncertainties inherent in the subject matter, we cannot pose well-posed problems. Far too much of what is important is still purely descriptive.'' It is not as easy to devise meaningful homework exercises in the preclinical and in the clinical sciences as it is in mathematics or engineering. But it is not impossible. Suppose that our second year students in Pharmacology have just had a lecture on the sympathomimetic amines. We might assign them the following homework exercise (to be worked before they consult their textbooks): " The cardiovascular effects of levarterenol (norepine phrine] and of isoproterenol were compared in a normal recumbent human subject. In a first experiment , levarterenol was infused intravenously at a constant rate until a reasonably steady state was reached. In a second experiment , isoproterenol was similarly administered at a rate which would produce the same positive inotropic effect on the myocardium. The levarterenol caused a rise , the isoproterenol a fall in mean arterial blood pressure . Which drug produced the greatest increase in cardiac output or was there no significant difference? Justify your answer using no more than the allotted space. '' (Rem ember that the homework is to be collected and corrected . Hence the need for an " allotted space " ] What would such an exercise make the student do? It would make him think about the factors determining cardiac output. In particular, he would have to reason out logically what effect a 8 . . . "my 50-plus-year-old wife" . . . change in peripheral resistance would have upon venous return in the recumbent subject. If he thought this through successfully, he would have learned by his own logical arguments to avoid a misconception common among medical students that a decrease in arterial blood pressure necessarily implies a decrease in blood flow. Even if he didn't arrive at the correct answer, working out the problem would insure his close attention when the homework exercise was discussed in the subsequent class. Most such homework exercises should deal with actual clinical problems: THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �"My 50-plus-year-old wife, an enthusiastic bicyclist in excellent general health, accompanied me on a 150 mile, 4-day bike trip over mountainous terrain in orway. The weather was exceptionally hot. On returning to Bergen, we relaxed by attending a Folk Festival, including a supper at which the principal dishes were sour cream pudding and dried leg of mutton preserved in salt and served raw in thin slices. On the following day, my wife exhibited marked pitting edema of the ankles. Should we start out on the second bike tour we had planned, or should I ask to have her admitted to the Bergen University Hospital? Justify your answer in the allotted space.'' Allotted space again! (By the way, we did go immediately on the second bike tour. It was magnificent! But of course, the students wouldn't be told this until after they had struggled with the problem.) This kind of exercise requires for its solution the application of basic principles to a clinical situation. The ability to apply basic principles is the key to the accurate diagnosis and the rational treatment of disease. The medical student will never develop that ability by scribbling lecture notes or reading textbooks. He will develop it only if he himself is required to solve problems and more problems and still more problems - from the day he enters medical school until the day he graduates. For heaven's sake, why don't we make him do it? In conclusion, I put it to you that man's intellect, though illimitable, is not limitless. I am far better at control theory than I was two years ago. But I am a worse pharmacologist. The potentialities of a student's mind are infinite. The capacity of a student's mind is finite. Let us think twice what we should fill it with. D FALL, 1969 "You have one of the most progressive and fast-moving regional medical programs in the nation." That is what Dr. Ray E. Brown, past president of several hospital organizations and now affiliated with Hospital Center .1t Harvard University, said at the annual meeting. He pointed specifically to the training courses for physicians and nurses in coronary care unit and the telephone lecture network which covers 48 hospitals in seven Western New York counties and Erie County, Pennsylvania. Dr. Brown said, "The medical health areas of this country have tried so hard to keep up with new advancements in the medical and allied fields that they have not looked at what the community demands in terms of service. The public is demanding that we serve the patient where he is. We must look to see what is needed in these fields of medical care.'' 0 Medical AI un1ni Director Mr. David M.

Pesch and Pror:os t Dougla s M . Surge nor.) The research conducted in the Department of Physiology - with the financial support of Project Themis - is an extension of the research activities undertaken by several members of this Department over the last twenty years in the general area of cardiopulmonary physiology. In order to support this program, an unsolicited proposal was submitted to the Department of Defense under Project Themis. This is a unique program, specifically designed not only to promote research, but to integrate this research into the educational framework. It is important to mention that eligibility for participation in Project Themis requires an ongoing program in graduate education, an interdisciplinary approach, and ''explicit endorsement by the University ' s Chief Executive exTHE BUFFALO MED ICAL REVIEW �plaining how the program would fit into longrange plans for the Institution's development.'' Plans and financial support for a new laboratory building were approved by the President's Office and subsequently by the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York at Albany. More specifically, the research done under this program deals with fundamental problems of the oxygen supply to the human body by means of the delicate interplay between lung ventilation and lung perfusion. For example, under present investigation are the effects of surgical anesthesia on oxygenation of the blood and the development of a special computer program for predicting the oxygen-carbon dioxide transport in patients with anemias, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases. This work is a direct extension of work done previously under other D.O.D. contracts which led to the description of new methods for analyzing pulmonary function and diagnosing respiratory disease. These methods are now in use in every clinical pulmonary function laboratory in this country and throughout the world. Plans for future work include studying effects on changes of the environment on the cardiopulmonary system. This will require construction of a special laboratory complex to include among other things a centrifuge, a swimming pool, and a running track. This will facilitate studying the effects of gravity on the heart and pulmonary circulation, the heat loss during swimming, and better methods for conditioning the cardiovascular system by a training program. The Department of Defense does not support classified research in any university. Consequently all results obtained from this program are unFALL, 1969 classified. Furthermore the sponsoring agency does not require review of the results before they are submitted for publication and thus these become immediately available to the entire scientific community. The addition to Capen Hall was planned by the University and is being constructed from funds of the State University by the State University Construction Fund. The facilities will provide needed additional space for the educational and research programs of the Department of Physiology.D Lackawanna Health Center Business is booming at the Lackawanna Community Health Center, according to Dr. Richard Carter, assistant clinical professor of social and preventive medicine. Approximately 1,000 people have made 2,300 visits to the Center since it opened in October. During the first six months there were abo 300 visits each week. It is now open 27 hours per week (originally only 12), and the visits have increased proportionately. A senior medical student, Arthur R. Goshin, is arranging his class schedule so he can work at the Center almost full time. He was one of the students instrumental in starting the Center. Both nursing and dental students have also participated in the program. 0 11 �w Pathology Microbiology Pr f ssor Dr. Cuclkou:ic::. A scientist, internationally renowned for his research in the fields of transplantation, immunology, and genetics, has joined the School of Medicine as professor of pathology and microbiology. He is Dr. Gustavo Cudkowicz, who for the past three and one-half years has been principal cancer research investigator at Roswell Park Memorial Institute and has participated in the University's microbiology graduate teaching program. A native of Zurich, Switzerland, he received his medical degree cum laude from the University of Milan (Italy) where he was also a resident in radiology and later joined its National Cancer Institute. A post-doctoral fellow at the University of Uppsala (Sweden), he also pursued postgraduate studies at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory before joining Roswell's staff. At ORNL he completed a course in advanced industrial and research radioisotope techniques, subsequently served as a biologist there, and participated in the graduate student program at the University of Tennessee's Institute of Radiation Biology. Author of over 40 technical papers, among his numerous society memberships are the American Society of Experimental Pathology, Genetics Society of America, Society of Experimental Biology and Medicine, American Society of Hematology, American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Transplantation Society, and the American Association for Cancer Research. He will offer two courses in the spring on immunogenetics and on cell differentiation. ''These are areas in which you can be both practical and fundamental at the same time,'' he pointed out. 12 ''I plan to extensively cover the field of transplantation genetics in one of these courses never before offered to graduate and medical students.'' Immunology, genetics, and differentiation, he said, come together in transplantation. The success or failure of a graft depends on genetically-controlled antigens and on immune responses against them. "We will be studying ways to determine, prior to transplantation, whether or not a prospective graft recipient is a strong rejector. While our studies are very basic, they have an obvious clinical impact,'' he said. ''In our studies of bone marrow grafts in conditioned mice, we found that blood-forming cells do not behave as other tissues in foreign hosts. Rejection of a hemopoietic graft - it generates blood cells, macro phages, and immune cells - is effected by a mechanism different from that responsible for skin graft rejection. If we can successfully graft blood-forming tissue,'' pointed out Dr. Cudkowicz, "we will have grafted a new immune system as well. "We are also looking at tumor immunity," he said. Tumor, which is not a foreign tissue, possesses antigens not found in normal tissue. Therefore it can behave as a foreign graft. ''To strengthen the immune response against tumor antigens, we must understand how the immune system functions. "By studying the differentiation process of primitive stem cells into mature antibody-forming cells and into their close relatives, the blood cells, we hope to uncover the steps by which specialization occurs in the immune process. If we can pinpoint the step, we may then proceed to modify and thus control the process of graft rejection." D THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �"Hou:' the patient doing?" Dr. King (sea ted ) a k Dr. Darid R. Dantzker. Anesthesiology ~WE HAVE JUST BEGUN to scratch the surface," esthesiology chairman Benton D. King said, we continue to explore potentialities for the esthesiologist. Advances in improved care FALL, 1969 an"as anfor patients in respiratory or circulatory failure, new anesthetic agents, and the introduction of more complex surgery continue to add to our duties. "Our experience equips us to properly manage patients both in and outside of the operating room. There is the trauma patient who may have a crushed chest from an automobile accident or an intracranial injury. There is the patient with drug poisoning or suffering from chest disease, neuromuscular disorder or respiratory distress in the newborn.'' Managed by an interdisciplinary team - medicine, surgery, nursing, anesthesiology - these patients are located on the medical intensive care or the surgical recovery intensive care units, the latter supervised by anesthesiology. "Our department name," pointed out Dr. King, "does not adequately describe the many aspects of acute patient management for which we have become responsible.'' ''Ten years ago,'' added anesthesiology resident Arthur E. Yahn, "we might not be talking about survival for many respiratory failure patients who we now see leaving the hospital. With our new understanding of these problems, we can not only pinpoint the patient in need of respiratory support, but the type he should have, and t appropriate time to discontinue its use.'' For the majority of patients, any one of a number of mechanical breathing devices may be satisfactory. But the type of support selected for certain patients - severe asthmatic attacks may mean survival. It was not long ago, Dr. Yahn recalled, that only the patient who had stopped breathing was given the benefit of these devices. Today, it is 13 �Dr. Yahn prepares a patie nt for remor;al of e ndotracheal tube. chiefly the patient with varying degrees of respiratory insufficiency who may be managed on them. While a patient is on a ventilator, frequent arterial blood gas analyses are performed to determine the efficiency of his lung's gas exchange mechamism. It not only accurately pinpoints how well the patient is doing, but if he is not breathing properly, it will point to the changes that must be made. His breathing pattern must also be varied to include occasional deep breathing - to simulate the normal sighing. Gradual withdrawal from his support must be planned as an abrupt one may prove fatal. The routine clinical use of blood gas analysis - which has led to improved respiratory care is local history. The first carbon dioxide and oxygen electrode used in Buffalo for patient care was introduced by our department, Dr. King pointed out. And it was through the assistance of Dr. Hermann Rahn, the noted physiologist, that it was possible. One day - a decade ago - Dr. King discussed his interest in performing carbon dioxide levels in the patient's blood with Dr. Rahn, who promptly provided him with a prototype of inventor / anesthesiologist John Severinghaus' C02 electrode. When placed into clinical use at the Meyer Hospital shortly thereafter, it was one of the very few in service. "One of our major efforts today," Dr. King stressed, ''is to educate the practicing physician as to the value of using blood gas analyses for diagnosis and for planning therapy for the patient in respiratory distress. Not only can acid base balance be determined - when combined with 14 pH - but the blood gas transport system's efficiency as well.'' When asked at what point the anesthesiologist becomes involved with the surgical patient, Dr. Yahn pointed to a computerized sheet prepared for all patients scheduled for surgery. "It pinpoints trouble areas - respiratory disease, diabetes, etc., and suggests the need for consultations with other physicians prior to surgery. ''While we can assess the patient to determine whether he is fit for surgery - and if he is not take whatever appropriate measures are possible to correct them - what we consider most important is the interpersonal relationship that must be established between patient and anesthesiologist. Ideally, we must properly prepare him before he even enters the hospital.'' The proper time for this personal contact of patient with anesthesiologist is when the decision is made to have surgery. The anesthesiologist who is aware of the drugs administered during surgery and is responsible for the management of postoperative pain - must advise the patient as to what he can expect during and after surgery. From the moment that the patient is wheeled into the operating room, he is monitored by the anesthesiologist. This physician must continue to made decisions as to proper monitoring and any ancillary therapy necessary for the patient's management during surgery. An aid in postoperative and intensive care is the patient care chart carefully worked out by Dr. Yahn with the floor nurses. The patient, previously checked only for blood pressure, is now checked for central venous pressure, pulmonary THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �elective program - would afford a wonderful learning experience to the medical student. ''As anesthesiologists, there are so many more contributions we can be making,'' Dr. King concluded. "We have just begun to scratch the surface.''D Dr. Yahn crutizines re piratory upport for Mr. Smith. care, etc. While not reducing the entire patient care picture, this chart offers a more complete profile. Anesthetic side effects appear to be minimal due to advances in pre- and post operative respiratory and circulatory care and in general anesthesia techniques. It is not the anesthetic agent itself that is important, but the technique by which it is administered. Twelve years ago, anesthesiology was a branch of the School of Medicine's department of surgery. But over a short time, this specialty has developed its own body of knowledge. As subspecialities emerge - pediatric and obstetrical-neonatal anesthesia respiratory intensive care - the need for a team within a team has become obvious. The need for intradepartmental teams - an anesthesiologist assisted by one or two nurses or other technicians who are under his direct supervision - as part of an interdisciplinary team in the operating room, are hopes for the future. Participation in this team approach - through an FALL, 1969 President Martin Meyerson and Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, provost for the Faculty of Health Sciences, received honorary degrees of professorship May 27 at special ceremonies at the National University of Asuncion, Paraguay. The ceremonies terminated a 10-year contract of modernization at the University. The program was directed by UB through funds of the Inter-American Development Bank with the cooperation of the Agency for International Development. The relationship between the two universities is the longest ever sustained between an American and a foreign university. During the 10 years, more than 35 members of the UB fac. 1lty have taught at Asuncion and many faculty men bers from the Paraguayan school have come to Buffalo to study and do research. The new basic science building was named Kimball Hall in honor of the late Dr. Stockton Kimball, Dean of the Medical School when the first contract was signed in 1956. This original contract was for programs in medicine and nursing. Later it was expanded to include other academic areas. 0 15 President, Provost Honored �Meyer Hospital Partnership and the State University of New York have a new partnership. It is a first step in University participation in capital expansion programs of the major teaching hospitals in Buffalo. The five one-story wings, built and equipped for $2.3 million by Erie County, will be financed by the University under a five-year lease agreement. This will add 69,000 square feet of office space, laboratories, examining rooms, clinical facilities and related research space. Sharing the space are the departments of medicine, psychiatry, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, radiology, pediatrics, anesthesiology, medical technology, and pathology. There is also an animal unit and space for the Erie County Laboratory. The University's provost for health sciences, Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, told guests at the May 12th dedication that UB has asked the State University of New York to endorse its plans to "provide for the physical support of its educational mission in community hospitals. ''It is a step which has been slow in coming, and it took some ingenious maneuvering to find the best way the County and University could do it, but it has been done. We welcome this first step and we look to further steps in improving and continuing the university educational programs in the Health Sciences at the affiliated hospitals. ''The University will continue for the forseeable future to rely upon the Meyer Memorial Hospital and the other affiliated hospitals for its clinical teaching programs in the health professions.'' THE E.J . MEYER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 16 Dr. Surgenor's statement reinforces those previously made by Medical School Dean LeRoy Pesch that the University has changed its mind about a teaching hospital on the new Amherst campus. "Buffalo ranks 15th among the nation's medical centers with 2,400 students in the health sciences (medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, health related professions)," Dr. Surgenor said. ''We rely upon the affiliated teaching hospitals and community agencies to obtain clinical teaching opportunities for our students. Except for the clinical teaching programs in the dental clinics on campus, all of the university clinical teaching is in the community. And even though the new University Clinical Center on the Amherst Campus will greatly improve the University's own capabilities for health education, this will be more than balanced out by the expansion of the number of health professional students we will be educating in the 1970's. ''The Meyer Memorial Hospital plays a vital role in providing a wide variety of clinical teaching for university students. The affiliation between a hospital and a university is a relationship that is difficult, if not impossible, to fully understand. The two partners become mutually dependent in many ways. The university cannot carry out its mission without the hospital; and the hospital, in turn, usually finds that the presence of the university faculty, students and other programs, improves the quality of care which it renders to its patients. ''Some idea of the involvement of the University in the Meyer Memorial Hospital shows up in one statistic - 43,500 student days were spent THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �at the Meyer this year. Most of this time represents the education mission of the hospital in medical education. But it also reflects the instructional time of students in every other university health education program," Dr. Surgenor pointed out. "Just as our educational programs and students in the health professions create a demand for all kinds of clinical teaching opportunities, it FALL, 1969 follows that where there are students, there must be teachers. Prior to the 1960's the hospitals provided most of the clinical teachers and furnished the offices, classrooms and laboratodes in which the university programs were carried forward. In the past few years, that picture has been changing. The University has assumed an increasing responsibility for its faculty, so that we now have in Buffalo one of the most impressive faculties in the health professions in the United States. These include the voluntary faculty, the part time and full time faculty." Dr. L. Edgar Hummel, superintendent of the hospital, told the audience that ''many of us know what dedication to an idea and dedication to a project really means. There were those who said it was impossible for two public agencies to build something on the other's property. But there were also those who spoke of a great need for the benefit of health education and for the betterment of community comprehensive health care, who found the ways and means to have these buildings constructed to help serve those needs. There are many in the County and State University entitled to a special vote of thanks for their efforts." County Executive B. John Tutuska said, " new buildings provide eloquent testimony to the invaluable and continuing co-operation between the County and the Medical School. This goes a long way in meeting the teaching and medical care needs of the community. The county is willing and ready to work with the university in a manner exemplified by these new facilities. Such a course is bound to be of mutual benefit to the County hospital, the Medical School, and the people. "D 17 �n1or Class Day ToP HONORS IN MEDICINE and neurology went to Dr. Madeline J.

While 7.6 per cent are now using some type of drug - primarily marijuana - the remaining 9 per cent are no longer using them. Pharmacology chairman Cedric M. Smith, who headed the University Committee on Drugs and the Campus, feels that ''while all surveys are subject to inherent limitations, I believe that the survey is accurate and represents a high rate of student response.'' The survey data will be available in Lockwood Library. The most current drug users are the 20-21 year old single liberal arts sophomores and juniors living in apartments. Nursing, education, and engineering students indicated the lowest drug use rates. Alcohol usage showed a positive relationship to drug usage, with daily drinkers reporting the highest rates. The survey pointed to about 45 per cent of all marijuana users having stopped usage of the drug, while 19 students substituted another drug. Marijuana usage today is undoubtedly higher than the rates revealed in the one-year-old ur vey, pointed out vice-president for student affmrs Richard A. Siggelkow. "And the number of high schoolers experimenting with drug use is increasing.'' He emphasized that the University clearly disapproves of drug usage and has consistently reflected genuine concern for student welfare. Drugs were defined to include marijuana, barbituates, heroin or other narcotics, LSD, amphetamines (pep pills or weight reducers), mescaline, spilocybin and glue, DMT, hashish and STP. 0 19 Drug urvey �Experiment in Medical Education Dr. Lindsley Two non-medical speakers - both leaders in their respective fields - closed the first year of the department of pediatrics' experiment in medical education, designed to enlarge the physician's understanding of the many influences that affect child development. They are Dr. Ogden Lindsley - he directs education research at the University of Kansas child rehabilitation unit - who applied the methods of experimental psychology to problem behaviors; and Dr. Donald A. Schon - he is president of the Organization for Social and Technical Innovation and has played a major role in initiating programs of social action and research in community and neighborhood development, lowcost housing, service delivery systems, health, disability and education - who discussed behavioral sciences and the management of social change. "Involve the patient in charting his own behavior symptom," pointed out Dr. Lindsley. "I don't know of a single case where we have failed to change children's problem behaviors by using this technique. It is more efficient, economic, and presents a more rapid behavior change than any other system in use.'' Can it be used in a clinical setting? ' 'Why not? A hospital could set up parents classes to 20 teach the system. It is malpractice not to. There are no costs, no side effects." Dr. Schon pointed out that the medical student of today has a sense of moral commitment in institutional change - the ways it applies to medicine and the institution. A bit fuzzy, but a delightful sense of commitment. Where does the power come from? How does the doctor make choices as to how he works? "There is a kind of anguish these days," he said. ''The decisions students make on their way to their profession has something to do with the profession.'' What is the medical care system, the problems of the institution, the difficulties in assessing the system? "The system is forced to protect itself from scrutiny,'' he said. Preventive medicine is planning for the future. "If you take prevention seriously," he continued, ''you must involve the receivers of health who won't seek it out. There is no way to avoid community development and a broad range of social policy, no way to avoid implications in our society. If you start out with prevention of medical problems in children, you end up in the community development phase,'' he concluded.D THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �MANY PATIENTS suffer from renal disease. But the death rate - in 1964 it was 14.3 per cent per 100,000 population - can be considerably reduced by early detection and prevention, a better understanding of its various pathogenesis, and proper medical treatment. At a two-day conference on clinical nephrology, over 60 physicians - from as far away as Charleston, South Carolina - were exposed to a continuing medical education course by 16 local and visiting faculty. What did thev learn? The need for sodium handling by the kidney was stressed by Dr. Carl J. Bentzel, assistant professor of medicine. He pointed to important factors that regulate or determine excretion of sodium by the kidney - extracellular fluid volume and sodium and water intake. More studies, he feels, should be directed to the renal tubular membrane, a sodium transport phenomenon. What is the control system for sodium? How can we regulate salt balance when certain aspects change in renal disease? Dr. Neal S. Bricker, professor of medicine at Washington University, pointed out that what enters the body as fluid must leave in the same amount. In renal disease the functioning nephrons must assume the workload for those no longer in working order. But what tells these nephrons what to do? So precise is the control system that he feels it must be some function of the sodium mass. ''There must be several mechanisms, all interdigitated. The fine modulator must be a peptide hormone - its activity in the uremic state playing the major role in regulating sodium excretion.'' The findings of recent systematic studies in the treatment of chronic pyelonephritis - a kidney FALL, 1969 infection caused by bacteria - in the adult were outlined by Dr. Richard B. Freeman, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Rochester. The guidelines he proposed: the culture is extremely important in establishing a diagnosis of infection in the urinary tract; identity and correction of factors known to predispose the patient to infections; eradication of organisms from the urinary tract, and compulsive patient followup. Bacteriuria, which will recur in over 80 per cent of patients with chronic urinary tract infections, may cause progressive damage. Long-term therapy, he feels, is critical in its prevention. A pill, he pointed out, is a more preferable treatment than an artificial kidney or a transplant. Analgesic abuse may affect the kidney by direct toxicity from the drug administered or its metabolites. Or it may secondarily predispose the kidney to necrosis of the papilla with concomitant infection. Analgesic mixtures are so easily available to the public without a physician's prescription, pointed out Dr. Rufino C. Pabico, assistant professor of medicine, that in managing renal disease it is important to include a drug history-taking of the patient. Nephral toxic agents present major problen of therapy in acute oliguric renal failure - a fairly common complication of hemorrhagic or septic shock. Two common causes of fatality are secondary infections and hyperkalemia. Correction of the high catabolic rate and early dialysis will maintain the patient in an adequate state of health so that common secondary infection does not occur. The dosage of common medications - digitalis and antibiotics - should be regulated according to the degree of renal failure. 21 Renal Disease �In managing the chronic renal failure patient, overall therapy must be very carefully planned. While the diet cannot cure the disease, pointed out Dr. Alf M. Tannenberg, assistant clinical professor of medicine, it can make the patient comfortable. '' Calories must be adequate so that the patient will not break down his own protein. While the limited protein intake should be of high biologic value, it is important to keep the potassium intake low. The sodium intake must be guided by the patient's renal excretion. One of the biggest problems for these patients, he feels, is hypertension. ' 'Try to keep the diastolic pressure below 100 with sodium restriction and/ or antihypertensive agents. When the patient has fluid retention, diuretics may be given.'' A high percentage of infections in the urinary tract of children recur without symptoms, pointed out Dr. Mitchell I. Rubin, professor of pediatrics. ''Transient loss of concentration means that the kidney is involved,'' he said. Findings on children with renal disease sometimes point to growth and development abnormalities revealed Dr. W. Joseph Rahill, assistant research professor of pediatrics. Patients with these disorders should therefore be investigated for possible renal problems. Intensive medical therapy, he pointed out, can be used to improve both growth and development abnormalities and renal disease. In a session on metabolic derangements in uremia, Dr. Jack K. Goldman, assistant professor of medicine, outlined disorders of calcium and 22 phosphorus metabolism. Hyperphosphatemia results from decreased glomerular filtration, culture metabolism abnormality from vitamin D resistance which prevents normal intestinal calcium absorption. This leads to lower serum calcium levels which will stimulate parathyroid activity. When hypercalcemic calcium mobilization from skeletal source is stimulated, it leads to various abnormalities of the bone. He also pointed out that abnormalities in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism are commonly seen in patients with renal failure. Although renal vascular hypertension is a common cause of high blood pressure, it is not usually recognized. Research findings point out that 5-15 per cent of patients with high blood pressure may be due to renal artery disease. In diagnosing this disease, Dr. Marguerite T. Hayes, assistant professor of medicine, covered several techniques of radioisotopic renogram and renal scan. Renal arteriography, Dr. Ivan L. Bunnell, associate professor of medicine said, can be important in suspected cases of renal hypertension where surgery offers the highest incidence of cure. "The renal arteries are the easiest branches of the aorta to catheterize,'' he said. In studying problems in dialysis and transplant patients Dr. Gerald P. Murphy, research associate professor of surgery, emphasized the greater opportunities now available. One example - the recent study of erythropoietin, a hormone found primarily in the kidney that stimulates red cell formation. Two new diuretics - ethacrynic acid (Edecrin) THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �and furosemide (Lasix) were described by Dr. Paul J. Cannon, assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University, in the treatment of edema. Both may be administered orally or intravenously he pointed out. While they differ chemically they are similar in both physiological and pharmacological effects. Toxic effects are few, he said, and if properly used the clinical results may be dramatic.D tissue group of the patient in need of a transplant is not an easy matter. There are many tissue groups using many sera. Essential are the immunogenetic studies performed in this laboratory that will point to those members of the family that are heredity donors, that is, who have inherited antigens. Working with Dr. Milgram in this new laboratory is Dr. Kyoichi Kana, assistant professor of microbiology.D M.D.-Ph.D. Two students - enrolled in the Medical School's combined MD- PhD Program - graduated in June. They are Roger J. Ferguson and Bruce Rabin. While completing his medical training Roger also worked toward a doctorate in anatomy. Bruce's interest was in microbiology. Their dissertations - "Vascular Structure of Red Bone Marrow'' and ''The Immunological Competency of Peripheral Blood Leukocytes. "D Tissue Typing Laboratory There is a regional tissue typing laboratory it serves Buffalo and Rochester - operating under microbiology chairman Felix Milgram in Capen Hall. Since January, when it opened, over 100 have been tissue-typed. To find the individual - a family member and especially a sibling is the ideal - who most closely matches the FALL, 1969 Influenza Virus In the first step of the infective process, the influenza virus attaches in a very specific way to the red blood cell. What is the component in the red cell to which the virus will attach and combine? Over the past ten years a group of bio-chemists have been working on this problem. The first to isolate the receptor site in the human red cell, the group under Dr. Richard J. Winzler has begun to study its detailed chemistry. Similar cell sur ~~ce components have also been found on different kinds of cells investigated to date. "These studies," Dr. Winzler said, "may someday permit us to design an inhibitor or discover other avenues that will prevent the virus from infecting the cell.'' A paper presenting the group's research findings was recently presented at the second annual American Red Cross Scientific Symposium.D 23 �" ...

Orthopedic Practice ''I have not had that much experience in medicine or surgery,'' Elliott L. Gross said as he discussed his summer fellowship in orthopedics. "But I like to work with my hands . . . like to see results quickly.'' There are mornings devoted to conferences with residents on inpatient and outpatient care, trauma, and rehabilitation cases. There are also grand rounds where each case is discussed with the residents. For Elliott, the highlight of the week is the x-ray conference where everything is tied together. "We go over how the patient has been treated or is going to be treated.'' Surgery is scheduled several days a week. Elliott, a senior medical student who had worked as an extern in the Meyer emergency room, tries to see most of the hipnailings that are usually performed. ''The Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education fellowship is loosely structured,'' he said. ''It allows me to delve into anything that is interesting at the moment.' '0 24 THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �ew Medical Chief at Ten Women Graduates Ten of the 98 Medical School May graduates were women. Three are married and one is a mother. It was the largest graduating class in the history of the school. The three that are married all chose husbands from scientific disciplines. Cheryl Chadburn Rosenblatt is married to Elias, an intern at Deaconess Hospital. Moira Burke Murphy's husband, J. Brian, received his degree from the Dental School. Penny Anderson Gardner is married to John, a medicinal chemist. The Rosenblatts have a son born during a leave of absence Cheryl took in the spring semester of her junior year. Two women will intern in Buffalo hospitals. Alberta A. Borgese, whose brother, Anthony, was a 1964 Medical School graduate, will intern at Millard Fillmore, Mrs. Rosenblatt at Children's. The others and the hospitals where they will intern: Miss Dorothea A. Downey - Harrisburg Polyclinic, Pa.; Miss Francis A. Dud a - Los Angeles County; Mrs. Gardner, Presbyterian, New York City; Miss Evelyn Hirschorn and Mona T. Milstein - New York Medical College, Metropolitan; Mrs. Murphy - Lankenau, Philadelphia; Miss Madeline J. White, Los Angeles County Harbor; and Miss Marion E. Wind, Brookdale Hospital Center, Brooklyn. A total of 2,365 degrees were awarded at the 123rd annual commencement ceremonies at Memorial Auditorium. Lord Noel G. Annan, provost of University College, University of London, gave the main address.D FALL, 1969 Dr. James P. Nolan has been appointed professor of medicine and chief of the Medical School's department of medicine at the Buffalo General Hospital. Dr. N alan received his bachelor and medical (cum laude) degrees from Yale University (1951, 1955) and completed both his internship (1955-56) and residency (1958-62) at the Grace-New Haven Hospital at Yale University where he later served as an associate physician and an instructor in medicine. In between (1956-58) he served in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps as a Lieutenant Commander, and as a clinical fellow in medicine (1960-61 in the Liver Study Unit at the Yale Medical School). He has been on the Buffalo Medical School faculty since 1963 when he was appointed assistant professor of medicine and served as a clinical associate in medicine, The Buffalo General Hospital, and associate attending physician at E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. In 1966 he w as named attending physician at the Veterans Ho pi tal. The 40-year-old physician, who has published extensively on liver disease, is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Federation for Clinical Research, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease, the Reticuloendothelial Society, Phi Beta Kappa, and Alpha Omega Alpha. 0 25 Buffalo Gen ral Dr. olan �Informal lunch and admiss ions briefing w ith Dr. Philip W el . Surprises, R ewards A difficult d ec ision . ''My first year had many surprises and rewards, along with a few frustrations and disappointments.'' That is the way Dr. LeRoy A. Pesch summarized his first year as Dean of the School of Medicine. It has been a year of getting acquainted. There was a lot of talking and listening to become fully briefed on people, facilities and policies. This was the prelude to important decisions on curriculum, admissions and student-faculty-alumni affairs. "There were many extra-ordinary problems more than I had expected - because of the complexity of the institution. But we have made a good start in developing new programs and strengthening our ties with the University and the Community.'' The ''Pesch Team'' is off to a good start.

That is what President Martin Meyerson told the members of the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education recently. ''Of all the great medical schools of the nation, not a single one is separate from a university,'' he continued. Mr. Meyerson praised both Dean LeRoy Pesch and Provost Douglas Surgenor for their "most imaginative health care package.'' The President praised APFME for its past support and urged them to rededicate themselves to bringing the world's best health care program to the Niagara Frontier. ''I have the greatest respect in the world for Dr. Hermann Rahn. About a year ago I asked him to be one of my special advisors. He has a national and international reputation for his physiology research and I will do everything in my power to make him happy here.'' Mr. Meyerson reviewed the progress of the University since it became affiliated with the State, pointing out that the budget for the Health Sciences has increased tenfold in seven years; that the size of the University library has tripled (acquiring more books than in the previous 120 years); and that the salary schedule is second only to the University of Michigan. "We would not have been able to attract Dr. Pesch - just to mention one,'' President Meyerson said. ''Any state university that becomes wholly dependent upon legislature or a governor for finanTHE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �cial support is in trouble. That is why we need the continued financial backing of APFME. "We are moving toward our pattern of seven separate University faculties, and each is getting more autonomy,'' the President said. Mr. John Galvin told the physicians that "we are on the threshold of building a great University, and your continued support will be needed.'' Mr. Galvin is a member of the executive committee of the University Foundation Board of Trustees. Dean Pesch paid tribute to APFME as "one of the hidden values of the University and the Medical School. Your dedication and support provides the 'vital margin' that will make this University a great one. ''One of the major accomplishments of my first year has been the consolidation and unification of the Medical School. We have come a long way on program development and the coordination of all of our activities. "Our Medical School must be an integral part of the total University and the community. We must be more effective in our service to the community and to society. These are new roles for all of us." Dr. Pesch pledged himself to finding new ways of recognizing the activity and responsibility of the volunteer faculty. Dr. Max Cheplove, M'26, was re-elected APFME president. Others elected were: Dr. Harry G. LaForge, M'34, first vice-president and Dr. Marvin L. Bloom, M'43, second vice-president; Dr. Donald W. Hall, M'41, was re-elected secretary-treasurer. Dr. John J. O'Brien, M'41, is immediate past president. D FALL, 1969 A dynamic teacher and outstanding academic physician has joined the department of medicine to head its new infectious disease division. He is Dr. James C. Allen, associate professor of medicine who will also serve as attending physician at the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. He comes to Buffalo from The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine where he has been associated since his graduation in 1955. He completed an Osler medical internship and residency at its hospital, was associated with the allergy and infectious disease section of its department of medicine, has been assistant professor of medicine for three years, and since 1967 held the rank of associate professor. In between, the 40-year-old physician completed two years in the Public Health Service at the National Institutes of Health (1959) and was associated with The Rockefeller Institute as an assistant physician for two years. Author of numerous technical papers on immunology and infectious disease, included among his memberships are the American Federation of Clinical Research, and the American Association of Immunolog' sts. His medical degree was accompanied by elecho into Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha honorary societies. He held a Lederle Medical Faculty award from 1964-68 and an NIH career development award in 1968. ''Dr. Allen's appointment,'' commented medicine chairman Dr. Evan Calkins, ''represents the culmination of a four-year effort to create just the right environment. We look forward to the development of one of the strongest infectious disease programs in the country. His qualifications (Continued on Page 44) 29 In£ ctious Dis as Had Dr. Allen �"When I am working in the clinic, I might see a many as 15 patients in the morning," said Michael Goldberg. Ophthalmology Fellowship 30 Why pick clinical opthalmology for a summer fellowship? Two seniors - Michael Goldberg and Moira B. Murphy - did. "The whole field seemed to intrigue me," said Mike. ''In my junior year, exposure to this field was inadequate. I did have an interest and wanted to get. more of a background before deciding whether this is what I really wanted. And now I think it is.'' A radical experience in addition to what was available in Medical School was what Moira was seeking. By the process of elimination, she wanted something that was a combination of both medicine and surgery. And ophthalmology - a combination of academics and clinical work was it. '' It is certainly the most adaptable for personal reasons," she said. " Once I am qualified I want to be able to limit the size of my practice so that I can raise children." For both, most of the time was spent in the outpatient department - observing and testing. Inpatient care included medical workups, physicals for new patients, and observing the surgical procedures. "Even if there is a busy clinic," said Mike, '' we can go up to see the surgery procedure. We aren't here to do the resident's work, but we are supposed to learn.'' On glaucoma day, patients who return to have their medications renewed and their occular tensions checked keep Moira and Mike pretty busy. All work is supervised by the resident staff.

Moira, Mike (on right) u;ith Resident Leon Leu;is examine patient. Afternoons when Attendings come in, and residents have patients to present, Mike and Moira join the informal conference. '' I hope the students will be stimulated to become inquisitive about this area where all too often exposure of the student is ' too little ','' said Dr. W. Yerby Jones, co-head of Ophthalmology. Physicians, he feels , have an erroneous idea about ophthalmology. '' They think they can see more than they can see. You have to know what you are looking for .

(Continued on Page 36) 33 Promotions �Cardiac Car Facility A $1,000,000 comprehensive cardiology program - a blending of department of medicine vision and County support - has opened at the Meyer Hospital. The result is better patient care including acute and intermediate care units, excellently equipped clinical and research laboratories, a cardiac catheritization unit featuring the most advanced equipment available, and a cardiac clinic for outpatients. ''It is an exciting opportunity,'' program director Francis J. Klocke said, ''and offers a unique opportunity to evaluate treatment of the cardiac patient. By broadening our scope of studies,'' the associate professor of medicine continued, ''we hope to add something to patient care in the future.'' The facility, he pointed out, will also serve as a training center for professionals who will go out into the community. Critically ill cardiac patients are brought together in the quiet and isolated setting of the acute coronary care unit headed by Dr. Stephen Wittenberg. Here, each patient is continuously monitored for heart rate and rhythm. He is directly visible to nurses staffing the central monitoring bank and alarm system. The patient is assured that the nursing staff is continuously observing his heart rhythm and that any arrhythmia will be identified through the continuous monitoring. Therapy, instituted by an alert team, will be immediately applied for disorders which arise. Two of the seven beds - equipped for specialized hemodynamic monitoring - are used for patients with pump failure producing shock. The mortality rate for patients suffering from this type of power failure has been a constant 80 per cent. 34 Dr. Klocke (left) shows Dr. Wittenberg how to make a pressure measurement. If inroads are to be made, sophisticated diagnostic measurements are necessary. "We use inert gas technology developed by Dr. Klocke to measure the cardiac output and other related parameters,'' Dr. Wittenberg explained. "We also utilize the information to decide on appropriate pharmacologic therapy and to continuously assess its effectiveness." In an adjacent room, house staff, students, nurses, and paramedical personnel receive specialized teaching in coronary care and arrhythmias. A uniquely effective device in teaching the latter is the portable FM 10-hour tape. To improve their observation capacity, nurses need only review a tape on one of their patients to see whether they have missed something. While making more information available on arrhythmias, these tapes will also lead to an expanded teaching program in electrocardiology. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Cardiologists in training - four have started in July - will learn special procedures. In turn, they will teach house staff, interns, and residents. "We cannot teach first-grade patient care," summed up Dr. Wittenberg, "without learning something ourselves.'' Following the acute phase of a heart attack it usually lasts seven days - the patient is transferred to the adjacent intermediate or convalescent unit. He is treated by the same team of professionals for the remainder of his hospitalization. Extended monitoring in this 12-bed unit allows the physician to identify problems requiring specific therapy following discharge. After leaving the hospital, the patient returns to the cardiac clinic as an outpatient to be followed by the same professional team. He may also participate in the rehabilitation program under Dr. Albert C. Rekate. An additional facility for diagnostic and related problems is the cardiac catheterization laboratory - operated in conjunction with the deA patient in the convalescent unit is examined by Dr . Wittenberg (left) and Peter Kirkpatrick, a first year medical resident. partment of radiology. Trained and experienced in the difficult procedure of catheritization are Drs. Joseph A. Zizzi and Herman L. Falsetti. By threading a catheter into the patient's heart, they learn what is going on and are better able to evaluate the patient for surgery. Coronary arteriograms - injecting dye into the small vessels leading to the heart - reveal how well the heart contracts, and ventricular angiograms - injecting dye into the contracting ventricle - reveals the presence of coronary atherosclerosis. ''Our highly sophisticated approach to coronary care," Dr. Falsetti pointed out, "can only be manned by a limited number willing to go into it in depth. '' Said Dr. Klocke: "we want to bring to the patient more of the research procedures that have been developed by ourselves and others." Dr. Falsetti is continuing collaborative studies with Drs. David G. Greene and Ivan L. Bunnell (Buffalo General) on contractility - how the heart works as a pump. Its efficiency and effectiveness cannot presently be measured. He is applying what has been learned in animals to man. In a study with Endocrinology, he wants to find out why patients develop coronary atherosclerosis and how to correct its risk factors. Dr. Zizzi, on the other hand, wants to determine exactly what happens in the disease process of patients in shock. ''I want to evaluate patients from a functional point of view before and after heart surgery and how we have helped them,'' he said. Dr. Wittenberg will concentrate on abnormal heart rhythms to understand problems resulting from intoxication with digitalis. He is also inter35 "Thi program pre sents excitingpos ibilities, Dr. Klocke said. �/ / Dr. Lio nel S ifo nt es, a Fellou.· in ca rdiology, and Dr. J oseph Zizz i (rig ht ) di sc uss a problem . ested in problems related to transthoracic shock for arrhythmia corrections, evaluating relationships between electrical instability of the heart in myocardial infarction, and abnormalities in blood flow , a very important area. Dr. Klocke's research centers on evaluating coronary blood flow in both its total and regional distribution. He will also add to his research on a technique for measuring cardiac output and abnormalities of ventilation and perfusion. '' We are all involved in collaborative studies interdepartmental as well as interdisciplinary, " Dr. Klocke said. "We want to understand what is happening in acute coronary artery disease as well as other cardiac problems, and in examining these problems in both an experimental and a clinical setting. This facility creates a unique opportunity to do just this, to establish a critical approach to a problem, good working habits, a particular orientation toward a specific disease, and a Center for first-class training in all of the important aspects of contemporary cardiology.

He is Dr. Clyde L. Randall - chairman, department of gynecology-obstetrics - who was installed as an honorary member of the Royal College in London, England. Dr. Randall personally accepted this honor at the Society ' s induction meeting July 25 where '' each year the Royal College honors those in the specialty who it deems worthy of exceptionally high praise.'' The only Buffalo physician to be so honored, he has been selfless in his service to the field of obstetrics and gynecology at the local and national levels. Dr. Randall pursued much of his medical training in Kansas, the state where he was born. After receiving his medical degree in 1931 from the University of Kansas, he completed an internship (St. Margaret's Hospital, Kansas City) and residencies in pathology and general surgery (Kansas City's St. Luke's and Childrens Mercy Hospitals). He came to Buffalo in 1932 to complete a residency in gynecology at the Buffalo General Hospital. In 1937 he joined the School of Medicine as assistant to gynecology professor James E. King. Five years later he became professor of gynecology and in 1960 was named department chairman. Since then, he has been instrumental in unifying the Ob / Gyn activities into a well-functioning university department. Head of the obstetrics / gynecology department at both the Buffalo General and Meyer Hospitals (Children 's 1960-66), he is on the honorary staff at numerous area hospitals. FALL, 1969 Certified in 1939 by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology the 64-year old physician has served as examiner (1950-60), director in 1960, and as secretary-treasurer since 1964. He has also served on both the state and national Board of Medical Examiners and the Residency Review Committee for Obstetrics / Gynecology since 1957. Active in the Planned Parenthood Center of Buffalo, he served as its medical director (1945-57) and has chaired its medical advisory board since 1957. He has been president of numerous medical societies: American Association of ObstetricsGynecologists in 1964 (coveted honor for a gynecologist); Buffalo Academy of Medicine in 1956; Buffalo Obstetrical-Gynecological Society in 1950; American Gynecological Club this year ; and the Society of Pelvic Surgeons in 1967. He is a Fellow of the American College of Ob stetricians-Gynecologists (chairman of its Committee on Professional Standards ); th e American College of Surgeons; and the Society of Obstetricians-Gynecologists of Canada. Among his numerous memberships are the American Gynecological Society; Association of Professors of Gynecology-Obstetrics; ObstetricalGynecological Travel Club, and the Central Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. He has published chapters in 11 texts and over 70 medical periodicals, and for five years (195963) was associate editor of OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY. O 37 Dr. Randall Honored D r. Ra nda ll �From the desk of Sidney A nthone, M.D., '50 President, Medical Alumni Association THE MEDICAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION of the State University of New York at Buffalo has once again completed a very active and fruitful year. The 1968-1969 season was culminated with another very successful Spring Clinical Days Program held in March. Because of the uncertainty of the availability of the campus for this past year's program, the Spring Clinical Days Program was once again returned to the Hotel Statler Hilton. All those who attended the program were very pleased with this move, and it is now planned to have next year's program at the Hotel Statler Hilton. The Spring Clinical Days Program brought together many experts, who discussed very current problems beneficial to all present. At the Stockton Kimball Luncheon we learned that Doctor Bernhardt Gottlieb, 1921 graduate from the State University of New York at Buffalo, School of Medicine, and a prominent Medical Alumnus had established a $75,000 endowment fund to support the library of the Department of Psychiatry in the Medical School. We are very proud of our fellow alumnus and thank him for his very special gift to our school. Also, at this luncheon, Doctor H. Paul Longstreth presented to Doctor David K. Miller a special plaque in recognition of his contributions as outstanding teacher, scholar, and clinician. I am sure all of us who have had the opportunity of having Doctor Miller as our teacher will agree that he certainly does deserve this special recognition. 38 Another one of our very prominent Medical Alumni was honored at the recent Alumni Association 20th Annual Installation and Award Banquet. Doctor Walter Scott Walls received the 20th presentation of the Samuel P. Capen Alumni Award in honor of Doctor Walls' notable and meritorious contributions to his university and its alumni family. A new year has come upon us and the Medical Alumni Association has many challenges to meet. It is the desire of the president to have the Medical Alumni Association play a more active role in solving the problems that face the Medical School in its relations to the community and to the University as a whole. It is more important than ever for the Medical Alumni to be active participants in the formulation of new ideas and new directions for our Medical School. Our new Medical School dean, Doctor LeRoy Pesch, has asserted many times his desire to have the Medical alumni work with him and have frequent exchange of ideas. To prove that this was not idle chatter the dean has established a liaison committee made up of members of the Executive Committee of the Medical Alumni Association to meet with him at periodic intervals. Several of these meetings have already taken place. The discourse has been most fruitful to the Alumni Executive Committee, and has affirmed our belief that the Medical Alumni can play an active role. The new dean has also established an office of Medical Alumni Affairs in the Medical School. He has appointed Mr. David Krajewski as full-time direcTHE BUFFALO MEDICAl REVIEW �tor of this office. This will certainly make for a more intimate role of the Medical Alumni in the Medical School affairs. Under the direction of our new dean, a new spirit in the Medical School appears to be developing. The dean feels the importance of health care and its delivery to the community and the responsibility of the Medical School in helping to solve the existing health problems. He is interested in involving all Medical facilities in the community, rather than establishing a University teaching hospital distant from the core of the community where these health problems exist. The Medical Alumni, especially those who are closest to serving the community needs, can play a valuable part in advising and participating in the role the Medical School must play in community health. It is also important that the Medical Alumni see that the Medical School stays strong and continues the major role that it has always played in the Western New Yark area. The Governing Board of the Medical Alumni Association already has let its voice be heard following recent events at the University regarding the student demonstrations and especially their action in destroying parts of the physical set-up of the Project Themis, a project being carried out by the Department of Physiology at the Medical School. The Governing Board felt that it was important that an open campus and academic freedom prevail at the Medical School. With this in mind, the Governing Board unanimously approved a resolution already passed by the Executive FALL, 1969 Committ~e of the Medical School ''deploring the d.estructwn of University property, urging immediate legal and disciplinary action, and endorsing the importance of Project Themis. '' This resolution was sent to President Meyerson. Since the Medical School has become part of the vast State University system, the geographic distribution of the Medical alumni has changed considerably. No longer, as in the past, are the majority of graduates of the Medical School from the Western New York area. The more recent graduates are predominently from outside the Western New York area, with a considerable percentage being from downstate New York. There is also a large group of Medical alumni who have moved to the West Coast area. It is for this reason that the Executive Committee of the Med1 cal Alumni Association feels that there must be set up other chapters of the Buffalo Medical Alumni Association around the country. It is our aim this year to establish a chapter in the New York City area and then in the Pacific Coast area. It is hoped that the downstate chapter will be functioning by the spring of this coming year. Any alumnus who would care to actively participate in the formation of these chapters can contact Dr. Milford Maloney, the chairman of the committee for establishing new chapters. In conclusion, I feel that it is very important that all Medical Alumni join the Medical Association and participate in the new spirit and direction of the School of Medicine.D 39 �Glomerular Dis ase GLoMERULAR DISEASES are an important cause of death. A group of investigators hope to discover something about its causes. Meeting at weekly pathology conferences at the Buffalo General Hospital, they are classifying the structural findings of its various forms, correlating this data, and amassing a file of its natural history. The cause of certain glomerular disease is 40 still unknown. Some may not yet have been recognized. In most cases however the glomerular disease appears to be caused by some type of allergic mechanism. What triggers this mechanism in most cases is yet to be uncovered. In poststreptoccal glomerulonephritis, a streptoccal product combines with an antibody in the bloodstream to form antigen antibody complexes. These complexes are deposited in glomeruli where they produce a disease - usually shortlived- from which the patient almost always recovers. Most forms of chronic glomerular disease are not related to the streptoccocus. But many appear to be due to antigen antibody complexes deposited from the circulation. Through the technique of immunofluorescence, it is hoped to identify specific antibodies or antigens. The investigators - who examine histologic, electron microscopic and immunofluorescence evidence are: Dr. James C. Brennan (professor of pathology and director of pathology at Buffalo General Hospital) who is particularly interested in renal disease; Dr. Robert T. McCluskey (pathology chairman) who is interested in the immunologic aspects of renal disease; Dr. Mitchell I. Rubin (professor of pediatrics) and Dr. Oscar R. Oberkircher (assistant research instructor in pediatrics) who are both interested in the diagnosis, natural history, and treatment of renal disease; Dr. Felix Milgram (microbiology chairman) and Dr. John Klassen (assistant research professor of microbiology) who are both studying aspects of immunologic disease in general as well as in transplants; Dr. Bahram Pars a (instructor in pathology) who studies electron microscopic evidence, and Mrs. Marion Sepulveda (technician) who presents the immunofluorescent findings.D THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Eighty-two freshman, sophomore, and junior medical students are spending the summer on clinical, research or general practice fellowships. While the majority are working in area hospitals and laboratories, 12 are located in other cities, and 12 have selected foreign countries. The recipients of the $600 summer fellowships, together with faculty sponsors selected by them, proposed the fellowship programs. Support on a competitive basis from available funds RESEARCH Local Project was allocated by the six-member fellowship committee (one half representing the basic sciences, and the remaining three - clinical). ''These fellowships,'' pointed out committee chairman Frank C. Kallen, ''afford the students a learning experience that may otherwise not have been possible. Six students are working in general practice, an area not presently covered in the Medical School curriculum. Others are involved in research or clinical areas in which they have not previously been exposed.''

He was also an active member of 12 boards of directors including the Carborundum Co. and Aerospace of Los Angeles. He was a member of the scientific advisory committee of Bell Aerosystems Corporation. As a young scientist in 1935, Dr. Furnas brashly predicted that man would land on the moon one day. In his book, "The Next Hundred Years," published that year, he forecast many of the advances in nuclear science. He wrote several other books. The physical expansion of the University under Dr. Furnas was estimated at $26.5 million (including the $8 million Health Science complex 50 and enrollment grew from 6,800 to 11,000 full time students. Dr. Furnas was a track star at Purdue University in the 1920's, specializing in the one and two-mile runs. He ran the 5,000 meter event as a member of the U.S. Olympic team in Antwerp in 1920. He won the Big Ten Conference two-mile indoor title and cross-country title and in 1922 was awarded the Big Ten Conference Medal for the best combined scholastic and athletic record. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from Purdue in 1922, he taught mathematics and coached the track team at Shattuck School in Fairbault, Minnesota. He was awarded the Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Michigan in 1926, and honorary doctorate of engineering from Purdue in 1946 and Michigan in 1957. He was a professional engineer, licensed in New York and Connecticut. Dr. Furnas spent five years as a research metallurgist for the U.S. Bureau of Mines before becoming associate professor of chemical engineering at Yale University in 1931. He held this post for 12 years. He served the National Defense Research Committee in the early years of World War II, coordinating a research and development program. In 1943, he joined CurtissWright in Buffalo and became director of research in guided missiles. When Curtiss-Wright closed, Dr. Furnas was instrumental in havings its laboratory donated to Cornell University. He became executive vice president and director of the converted lab. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Dr. Furnas served in many scientific capacities with the federal government under Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy. He was appointed vice chairman of the National Research Council in 1968; a member of the Committee on Science, Engineer·i ng and Regional Development of the National Academy of Sciences, and a permanent member of the House Subcommittee on Science, Research and Development's Panel on Science and Technology. UB's highest honor, the Chancellor's Medal, was bestowed on Dr. Furnas in February 1968, by his successor, President Martin Meyerson, who described him as "architect of today's university, and the first to speak and dream of the great university which has developed.'' In 1951, Dr. Furnas received the UB citation for public service; in 1952 The Buffalo Evening News outstanding citizenship award; and in 1953 the University of Michigan alumni acomplishment award.

Dr. Cloutier and his wife have five children.D THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �physician, botanist, zoologist, physiologist, biophysicist - spoke on a highly controversial subject. The large faculty/student audience was spellbound as he discussed some of his experiments on the problems of osmosis and imbibitions which argued against classical concepts. Dr. Per F. Scholander of the Scripps Institution on Oceanography visited Dr. Hermann Rahn, department of physiology chairman, with whom he shares many research interests. In typical "Scholander fashion" the two men combined the best of both worlds - travel and research. "We worked together on the Great Barrier Reef of Australia," recalled Dr. Rahn, "and we almost died together.'' Camped on an island located in the northernmost point -of Australia, the giant sea turtle lived on the other side of the span. To reach the 200 pound turtle meant navigating the surf a treacherous voyage at best - and negotiating the span with a 'land crab from Buffalo.' ''I was assured by 'Pete' that it was very easy. And we did make it. And I did succeed in turning over all 200 pounds onto its back. But how to get it into the small dinghy? Only he could have persuaded me to hang onto it in the bow of the eight-foot dinghy while he manipulated an outboard motor at the stern. I never did manage to AN UNUSUAL MAN - For Dr. Scholander (right), any place is appropriate to apply his theory on measuring negative water pressure of soil. Dr. Rahn listens intently. Photographs by Fritz Goro, LIFE Magaz ine SUMMER, 1969 3 Combining Both Worlds �pull it on board. I was left hanging over the bow with a struggling 200-pound turtle in my arms while Pete tried to run the surf. How we made it I will never know.'' The small boat was so unbalanced that they missed the channel, and lost their way back to the campsite. Again an optimistic reassurance from Dr. Scholander that it was nothing. "We are just going to have to find something to eat here.'' Off in different directions went the two very hungry and very thirsty men. Two hours later they met and ''Pete had located one little clam.'' By nightfall, with the tide heading in the right direction, they found their way back to camp. "We found the rest of our party drinking beer and celebrating our recent demise.'' In the close kinship of a shared adventure, both men laughed, and then were silent. The Alpha Helix - the first floating physiological laboratory to voyage to many remote parts of the world - originated with Dr. Scholander. Its latest voyage - a six-month expedition into the Arctic and Northwestern waters-involved over 75 scientists of diverse backgrounds. Their mission - to trigger interest in those who have never concerned themselves with the process of aging in the Pacific salmon and the unique antifreeze mechanism of Arctic fish. Last March, Dr. Scholander joined a Navy icebreaker in the Berring Straits to prepare a path for the Alpha Helix. He spent four months on the ice studying the unique process of antifreeze in Arctic fish. They defy the fate of the others in their family who freeze and die when they reach the surface of the water and touch ice. 4 At base camp in Brittsh Columbia, Dr. Rahn measures a salm on's swim bladder volume. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Blood freezes at -1 °C and the water temperature, in the bottom of the Arctic Ocean at 100 meters deep, is almost -2°C. But the Arctic fish can ''supercool,'' that is, reach the freezing point without forming ice crystals. Living in shallow water and going along the ice, the "antifreeze" may vary from specie to specie. It may be sodium chloride in some, organic compound in others. Another strange and striking feature noted is that some species have achieved a double protection through the development of a protein fraction to prevent ice crystals from spreading. Running the shore camp as well on this portion of the expedition was Dr. Walter Garey, a former Buffalo physiology faculty member. Dr. Barbara Howell, associate professor in physiology, joined the group in Kodiak, and Drs. Rahn and Charles V. Paganelli, Jr., associate professor in physiology, in British Columbia, to study atherosclerosis in the '' steelhead.'' Atherosclerosis, a reversible process in the steelhead, is not reversible in the Pacific salmon who dies after spawning. Salmon, who live in the ocean, have high concentrations of cholesterol in the bloodstream (five to ten times higher than humans can tolerate). As the fish enters fresh water to spawn, the pituitary gland changes - growing to more than twice its normal size. The gland then triggers a metabolic speedup that burns away practically all of the fat in the salmon's body. The production of a hormone, causing calcium to dissolve out of the salmon's bones, results in the two-week process of aging which takes 20-40 years in man. With pituitary gland changes and loss of bone calcium paralleling man, the salmon then is an SUMMER, 1969 ''ideal laboratory tool'' to seek clues into the process of aging and to gain new knowledge of atherosclerosis. The success of the expedition will lead to the continuing study of what triggers this quick deterioration- perhaps hormonally - which follows spawning. Dr. Rahn serves on the National Board governing the Alpha Helix's operations. Its next expedition is New Guinea. When asked if the future of man is in the sea or in outer space, Dr. Scholander responded, "it should be a joint venture, but the sea is more immediate and accessible to mankind.' '0 As Dr. Rahn (left ), ex plains a point to " Per", Dr. Walt er Garey trots off to his assignment. �National Intern Matcbing Program ''We added a couple of outstanding hospitals -Los Angeles County Harbor and San Francisco Mt. Zion-this time." That is what Dr. Harold Brody told the 97 seniors on intern matching day. ''This happened because our previous graduates have opened doors for you with their very successful internships. It is now up to you to do a better job so future graduates will have other doors open to them.'' Of the class 78 will join medical school affiliated hospitals; 68 in major teaching hospitals. More than half of the class-62-will intern in New York State, with Buffalo receiving the largest number-40. Both the combined medicine program (Buffalo General and Meyer Hospitals) and the pediatrics program (Children's Hospital) were filled. Other local hospitals: 8-Children's, 5-Millard Fillmore, 6-Deaconess, 3-Meyer, and 1-Buffalo General. The second largest number-15-will go to California, with 7 assigned to Pennsylvania, 2 each to Connecticut and Ohio, and one each in eight other states. The types of internships obtained: Medicine19 straight and 17 rotating; Surgery-9 straight and 12 rotating; Pediatrics-11 straight and 1 rotating, and the remainder in other rotating programs. This was Dr. Brody's last and favorite assignment as acting assistant dean for student affairs. He resigned in January to devote full time to teaching anatomy. 6 Kaiser Foundation Oakland California, Rotating ' ' JACK ALMELEH, Hahnemann Division Philadelphia General Hospital, Rotating ' DAVID H.

LIEBLING, 7 �Students and faculty use th e communications terminal in th e H ea lth Sciences Library. Libraries Linl~ed by Computer N etworl~ Computers are playing an increasing role in the education of medical students at the University. The SUNY Biomedical Communications Network links the Health Sciences Library in Capen Hall with eight other participating libraries SUNY Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse; Univer8 sity of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester; Albany Medical College, Albany; SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn; Parkinson Disease Information Center of Columbia University, New York; SUNY at Stony Brook, New York; Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine, Harvard University, Boston; and the National Library of Medicine, Bethesda. Each institution has one or more communication terminals connected on-line to the master computer at the Network headquarters in Syracuse. There are three terminals in Capen Hall. The computer is used by both students and faculty for retrieving information. For example, a researcher types in a query in English rather than in code to the computer which retrieves complete references from its data bank within minutes. ''The computer is becoming the new way of retrieving and storing information for all the Health Sciences. We hope this will become the most extensive computerized library system in the nation. There is nothing else, at the present time, like it,'' Mr. Erich Meyerhoff, Health Sciences Librarian, said. With this computer system, a student's search for books on any medical subject can be reduced to less time than it ordinarily takes someone to look up a book in a card catalog. In a few short minutes, the record of books from the participating libraries will be searched to find appropriate books or journal articles on the subject requested. Gone is the laborious process of checking and re-checking under various subject headings and making THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �handwritten notes of authors, titles, and classification numbers. The terminals are much like typewriter keyboards. The student types out the kind of information he wants. He must be specific, either about subject, author, or title. In less than a minute the computer will sift through 15,000 titles, select a predetermined number of those most appropriate, and type the information back to the student. Mr. Meyerhoff pointed out that the 1962 cutoff for books was arbitrary. ''Obviously we couldn't feed everything into the computer data bank. We know that medical journals and books published in the last five years satisfy about 90 per cent of all demands. The card catalog system for books published before 1962 will be retained at present.'' In the future, libraries at the British Museum, Oxford, and Cambridge may be linked with this system. The information stored in the Network consists of the combined book catalog records for the three SUNY medical libraries at Brooklyn, Buffalo, and Syracuse, dating from 1962 to the present; the book catalog records from the National Library of Medicine from 1966 to the present; and one million journal articles from 2,500 international periodicals from the National Library of Medicine's MEDLARS file of the last five years. The Health Sciences Library also makes a significant contribution to the Biomedical Communication Network in that, until quite recently, it was the major medical library in the State University system acquiring materials in dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, and health related profes' sions.D SUMMER, 1969 INTERN MATCHING-(Continued from Page 7) Presbyterian - Pacific Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Rotating DAVID M.

Dr. Samuel Sanes, M'30, chairman of the committee, said the data will be used statistically to plan future stroke treatment programs and provide the numbers and distribution of stroke victims in the study area. Dr. Michael A. Ibrahim, county deputy health commissioner, is the principal investigator for the project. He heads the study group and is checking stroke incidence and treatment facilities in Erie, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Genesee, Niagara, Wyoming, and Allegany counties, and Erie County, Pa. Dr. Harvey H. Borden, heart disease and stroke control officer for the U.S. Public Health Service, is contacting physicians, trained nurses, and area hospitals.D THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �An Internship as an Education by Dr. Sherman G. Souther To Dr. Alfred Blalock, perhaps apocryphally, is attributed the statement that there is only one good internship in any man, and Dr. Mark Ravitch, 1 himself a Blalock resident, states in his intraduction to The Papers of Alfred Blalock that Dr. Blalock took "superb clinical performance ... for granted as the least common denominator in his men, which could be exasperating to men going without sleep for days and knowing he was looking for additional evidence of independent performance." This tradition has continued at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where Dr. William Stewart Halsted created the graded residency system for the training of surgeons, and where Dr. Blalock trained so many residents who themselves are now professors of surgery. Slightly more than one year ago, I began the Halsted internship at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, and now with my internship behind me, I have been asked to write about my year as an intern. An intern may be defined 2 as one who serves in preparation for independent practice. The internship is a period of dependent service, and for me, it was an arduous, frustrating, and at times bitter, yet rewarding, fulfilling, and exciting period of growth. 1 M.M. Ratritch, The Papers of Alfred Blalock (Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press, 1966), p. liii. Zwebster's New Collegiate Dictionary (Cambridge: G. & C. Merriam Co., 1959). p. 440. SUMMER, 1969 I think that no one can dispute that the intern, being at the nadir of the training program, should function in a dependent role, yet the perfect balance of supervision in time of need and freedom of independent action in areas of competence has probably never been achieved and is subject to all of the frailties of those in more senior positions who must delegate responsibility and of those in more junior positions who must be constantly cognizant of the limits of their abilities. Much of the bitterness and frustration of the internship results from this dependent status. The reward and the excitement are greatest in the mastery of skills needed to function as a competent physician, to treat life-threatening problems concisely and swiftly, and to stand with confidence between man and disease. To dwell on bitterness and frustration would, I think, be only a self-indulgent exercise, and I fear that further discussion of the reward and excitement of acquiring skills which with maturity become only necessary tools would be even less electric than that of Doctor X. Therefore, I would like to direct my thoughts to an important aspect of the internship-the internship as an education. Dr. Halsted expressed his philosophy of surgical training in 1904 when he delivered the annual address in medicine at Yale University, entitled "The Training of the Surgeon." He stated: "We need a system, and we shall surely have it, which will produce not only surgeons but surgeons of the highest type, men who will stimulate the first youths of our country to study surgery and to Dr. Souther 11 �devote their lives to raising the standard of surgical science.'' Dr. George D. Zuidema, 3 Dr. Blalock's successor as the Professor and Director of the Department of Surgery at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Hospital, has stated that the philosophy of Dr. Halsted is as relevant today as it was when articulated 64 years ago. And he believes that common to all surgical training programs should be research, teaching, and excellence in clinical surgery. The Halsted internship, save comparable surgical training elsewhere, is prerequisite to proceeding in the residency program at Johns Hopkins and thus is the foundation of experience on which these components-research, teaching, and excellence in clinical surgery-are developed. From the outset, it is obvious. that not all of the three great goals of the training program are equally emphasized during the internship. At Johns Hopkins, the emphasis during the internship is on clinical surgery, although teaching is expected and research is not discouraged. As is probably appropriate, however, little basic science research is carried out by the intern. His exposure is primarily through clinical studies and through reviewing records and literature, the inglorious and at times unattractive, but essential, basic labor-the structure about which the complete project is developed. The intern is expected to participate in the education of the nursing and medical students. His 3 w . P. Longmire , et al, " The Training of the Surgical House Officer Symposium,' ' Johns Hopkins Medical Journal, 123 (1968), 1-16. 12 role is primarily in informal instruction carried out in the sphere with which the intern is most familiar, the basic care and management of the surgical patient. The intern's education is most greatly concentrated in the area of clinical surgery. However, his immersion in the preoperative and postoperative care of patients is almost complete. He is required to be on call at all times for problems related to his patients, and he may leave the immediate vicinity of the hospital only by arranging to have his patients covered by a fellow house officer. This system results in an unparalleled encounter with pathology and an unsurpassed continuity of experience. The Halsted internship is divided into rotations on cardiac surgery, emergency room surgery, and pediatric, private, and ward general and thoracic surgery. The intern spends approximately one month on each of the pediatric surgical and cardiac services, two months on the private service, and four months on each of the ward and emergency room services. The intern rotates among the various services at monthly intervals in order that on the services where more than one month is spent, it is possible to integrate a wide variety of past experiences into present patient management. There is also a plethora of conferences, rounds, and lectures, including house staff teaching rounds, which are held two evenings each week by the residents and one evening each week by the assistant resident on his pathology rotation, and which are perhaps the most valuable of all in making daily experience more meaningful. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �There is on each service an assistant resident to aid in assuming the burden of decision in areas of unfamiliarity and inexperience, and a senior surgeon-private, full time or resident-to assume ultimate responsibility, but the prevailing philosophy is that the intern is solely responsible for everything, save intraoperative care and techniques, which the patient requires-from preoperative evaluation to ihitial care in time of distress and to discharge and further follow-up. He can use whatever laboratory or paramedical' aid is available, but lacking them he must perform the necessary test or service himself. The task is arduous and at times deeply frustrating, but the result is an incomparable realization of every detail of patient care, the acquisition of unprecedented responsibilities, and an intense exposure to general and thoracic surgery. Now, having made these rather broad generalizations concerning the program, I would like to turn to the specific rotations in an attempt to show how, for the intern, they contribute to the realization of the goals of the training program. The private rotation probably strains to the greatest extent the relation between the internship as an education and the internship as a service industry. Here, the intern is least solely responsible for the patient's care, and this atmosphere of interference, some justified and some petty, at times detracts from his motivation. There is much to be learned from the exposure to the wide variety of surgical problems present on the private service and from the exposure to the various modes of dealing with these problems utilized by a variety of senior surgeons. On the cardiac rotation, the intern again has SUMMER, 1969 something less than full responsibility for patient care, but much of this lack is one of sharing the tremendous responsibility and work load with the assistant resident and is dictated by the intern's inexperience and the nature of the surgery involved. The rewards of this rotation are great, however, and here the intern learns to use a wide variety of potent drugs and to witness some of the most dramatic physiological responses and principles in clinical medicine as well as to use them in patient care. In this month of the disappearance of cyanosis and murmurs as well as hypotension, arrythmias, hemorrhage, and low urine output, he learns to practice some of the most acute of acute medicine. The most responsibility for the preoperative and postoperative care of patients is left to the intern on the pediatric surgery and ward rotations. These services at Johns Hopkins are completely controlled by the house staff under the direction of the Residents, and the prerogatives of the house staff at all levels are jealously guarded. Here, the philosophy of intern responsibility reaches fruition and all, save intraoperative aspects of the patient's disposition are expected of the intern, within the limits of his ability. This ultimately detailed, basic approach to the patient and his problems becomes ingrained and results in a disciplined mode of patient care which verges upon the clinical excellence which has been traditionally demanded. Here also the groundwork in basic operative techniques and procedures is begun, when later in the year hernias, appendectomies, and other basic general surgical procedures are handed down to the interns. There can be no doubt, however, that the emphasis is not on an 13 �operative education but on an education in the care of the surgical patient. On the ward rotation another important responsibility of the intern is the instruction of the : year V-or senior-medical students. The intern is expected to teach the basic concepts and techniques of patient care, to supervise, and to be responsible for independent work by the medical students. Thus the intern is expected to instruct in those areas in which he, himself, has some degree of competence, and he is expected to hone his skills in teaching for, like the care of the patient, it is a responsibility delegated solely to him. There is no prearranged program of instruction between the intern and the nursing students who receive clinical experience on the ward service. Common to all interns, however, is the realization of the increased quality of patient care on the part of the nursing students which results from a few minutes of discussion and explanation of patient problems. The consequence of these experiences is an increased awareness by the intern of his role and responsibility as a teacher. In the emergency room rotation, the intern achieves the pinnacle of his responsibility in patient care. Here he becomes the primary physician to a large group of people with miscellaneous surgical problems from backache to life-threatening trauma. He sees all surgical problems including those which ultimately are referred to the surgical sub specialties. As the first physician to see the patient, he must decide if the problem is one totally within his sphere of competence or if he should seek the advice of the assistant resident. At times there are agonizing moments between the patient's 14 release and his follow-up when the results of the intern's judgment are revealed. With the severely ill or injured, there are times when decisions must be made before advice can be asked. Unrequested responsibilities are thrust upon the intern, and he is forced alone into the waters of patient care to negotiate the calms and rapids of the course of disease. The intern in the emergency room assumes greater teaching responsibilities. He is totally responsible for instruction of year IV -or juniormedical students in suturing lacerations, evaluating abdominal pain, and other basic skills. He must attempt to bring some order and sense to the chaos of pathology present in a busy emergency department in order to enable the student to achieve as much benefit as possible from the student's brief experience. And he must learn to integrate these teaching duties with his own clinical responsibilities, which is the essence of the Halsted philosophy of surgical training. Little can be said about the aspect of research. No time for research is allotted, and no research output is prerequisite at any time during the intern's service. There is considerable academic stimulation from the senior surgeons and the senior house staff, and an inquiring, inquisitive approach to patient care is the rule. Many find time and stimulation to review a few cases of an unusual problem or to test some modality of patient care. Most wish that more time were available to pursue these interests but recognize that the internship represents only one year in a long period of training. It is probably sufficient that this inquisitive approach is nurtured and that these interests are not stifled. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �To me, the internship is primarily an educational experience. It is a period of time in which many basic skills are acquired, and a basic approach to medicine and patient care is learned. The most mundane and undramatic aspects of excellent clinical medicine become ingrained by precept and repetition so that more dramatic and aggressive action may be taken with safety and informed judgment. An awareness of one's own abilities is achieved. One learns to live with and to utilize the delicate balance struck by ability between responsible and irresponsible action. The internship is a time to develop acumen and maturity. It is with much relief that I have left my internship behind me, for it was a time of awesome confrontation with inexperience. I believe, however, that my internship succeeded in establishing a base on which a training program with the goals of teaching, research, and excellence in clinical surgery can grow. Dr. Halsted revealed his attitude toward the intern in the address from which I have previously quoted. ''The intern suffers not only from inexperience, but also from over-experience. He has in his short term of service responsibilities which are too great for him; he becomes accustomed to act without preparation, and he acquires a confidence in himself and a self complacency which may be useful in time of emergency, but which tend to blind him to his inadequacy and to warp his career." I have not progressed far enough from my internship not to have my vision obscured from overexperience, but I have, as one still close enough to well remember the frustration, attempted to express my feelings about the reward.D SUMMER, 1969 The Department of Pediatrics' Experiment in Medical Education, will broaden the physician's understanding of the many factors that affect child development. Non-medical speakers - all leaders in their respective fields - will come to Buffalo during the two-year program to speak and consult with department members at the Children's Hospital as well as spend a day in the University department of their particular specialty. Formal talks, question and answer sessions where full-time faculty, residents, students, and fellows in the department of pediatrics will have an opportunity to bring their individual points of view together in a free discussion, ''office hours'' for consultation with interested persons on problems in his field, is the series format. The first of three speakers scheduled this spring was anthropologist Sol Tax from the University of Chicago. All persons, he pointed out, are products of one or another culture which sets them on a narrow pathway. "We not only fall into error of simple misinterpretation, we also make incorrect value judgments,'' he said. The president of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences and former president of the American Anthropological Association noted that we know very little about the culture of the ghetto and therefore cannot judge its inhabitants by our style of living. ''Physicians must realize," he said, "that they do not have everything .to bring to the patient who has his own culture and habits. Faculty as well as students are always being educated by and with patients.'' (Continued on Page 17) 15 Medical Education Experiment �Larry studies an x-ray, one of the teaching file of selected radiographic findings. (Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education sponsored 12 summer fellowships. Larry was the recipient of one - on radiological studies - at the Buffalo General Hospital under Dr. Gordon]. Culver.) is different from other fields of medicine. Laurence A. Citro, who selected it for his summer fellowship, wanted to gain more experience in the field, to observe it in greater depth, and to decide whether to make it his career. At weekly x-ray conferences held by Dr. Gordon J. Culver, cases of interest that came up during the week were presented to both physicians and students. This, coupled with informal and impromptu consultations with house staff and attending physicians discussing their patients, makes it a unique fellowship. One of the best ways for Larry to learn about radiology was through Dr. Culver's teaching file of selected radiographic findings. This teaching aid offered examples of a large range of clinical diseases. "I try to spend two hours a day studying some of the thousands of x-rays available in the teaching file," Larry said, "and Dr. Culver is readily available to advise me on interpretations of the films. '' Radiology is rapidly expanding its techniques. Many of the methods used today were not possible in the past, Larry explained. Angiography, a specialized procedure, is now being used more often for diagnosing cancer and diseases of the abdomen, and lymphangiography is aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of lymphoid tumors. "In medicine," concluded Larry, "the radiologist is an indispensible aid to practicing physicians in evaluating and treating their patients.'

By 1975, they note, the daily population of the Amherst Campus will be more than 50 ,000 persons on what is now vacant land. Other statistics: by 1985, students from outside the area will number 34,100 compared with 9,800 in 1968. University employment will rise from 18,900 to an estimated 43,500. Indirect employment will go from 20,000 to 46,700. 0 17 �New Associate Dean There is a new associate dean in the School of Medicine. He is Dr. Edward J. Marine, who will also be an assistant professor of medicine. Dean LeRoy A. Pesch of the medical school said, ''Dr. Marine's appointment is a major one for my new administration. His experience qualifies him to accept major responsibilities in many facets of medical school administration. He is an outstanding young leader who will help us tremendously as we move forward to chart the future course of medical education in Buffalo.'' Dr. Marine received his bachelor's degree (biochemistry major) from Columbia University in 1956, and his M.D. from New York University in 1960. He did both his internship (1960-61) and residency (1962-63) at The Buffalo General Hospital. In between (1961-62) Dr. Marine was a Fellow in Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. Before entering the service he returned to The Buffalo General Hospital as Resident in Medicine. From 1964 to 1966 he served as Chief of Medical Service, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Hospital, Tucson, Arizona. He was a Captain in the United States Air Force Medical Corps. Dr. Marine has been on the medical school faculty since 1963, with the exception of his two years in the Air Force. In 1966-67 he was a Buswell Fellow in Medicine (rheumatic disease research). During 1967-68 he was assistant chief of medicine, The Buffalo General Hospital and associate director of the Clinical Research Center (rheumatic disease). In 1967 he was certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. In 1968 he was named chief, division of medical care research and education, department of medicine, The Buffalo General Hospital. 18 Dr. Marine will continue on the staffs of The Buffalo General Hospital and E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. He will also continue to be chief of the division of community medicine, department of medicine, and continue his work in rheumatic diseases. Dr. Marine replaces Dr. Harold Brody, professor of anatomy, who has returned to teaching and research at the School of Medicine.D Congressional Panel Clifford C. Furnas, President Emeritus of the University and now President of the Western New York Nuclear Research Center, is one of the sixteen outstanding scientists, educators, and engineers who will play key roles in the tenth annual meeting of the Panel on Science and Technology, of the House Subcommittee on Science, Research, and Development. This Subcommittee, chaired by Representative Emilio Q. Daddario, is part of the House Committee on Science and Astronautics. Martin Meyerson, President of the University, will be one of the experts invited to present views and will chair one of the sessions of the Panel. The Panel was formed in 1959 to serve in an advisory capacity to the Congress and to provide an open forum for the exchange of ideas between the scientific and academic community and the legislative branch. The Committee meets with the Panel in open session once each year to review trends and problems in areas requiring legislative attention. The theme for the coming session is "Science, Technology, and the Cities. "D THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �''The point I want to make - think and challenge what you hear. Demand to know why. This is the way we get research done and this is the way we make progress. II As a visiting professor, Dr. Hugh R. Butt, Mayo Clinic's gastroenterology and internal medicine chairman who spent two days on medical grand rounds, conferences, and informal discussions with students and faculty, challenged his students. ''Textbooks have stressed that duodenal ulcers be treated with milk every half hour . . . but have you found scientific data about what milk really does? For 50 years professors taught me and your professors taught you, and this was good. What I am saying to you as a young group is to doubt these things unless your professor has some data to support it.'' Teaching? If the student can have good examples from teachers, he will end up this type of doctor, he replied. And the statement that medical schools are producing doctors more interested in research than in people is untrue. "Most people - today as always -are impressed with taking care of sick people.'' His teaching method? "You learn best when you are involved, when you ask questions and participate. Good teachers have to present lectures so that the student becomes involved with the teacher, II he pointed out, "and the lecture system, as we have known it in the past, is becoming obsolete. He feels that a core of knowledge must be learned and cannot be treated lightly. ' 'After all, it is one of the things that students must carry through life with them. Everything depends on it and to say that you can get it any way you want is just not true.'' 11 SUMMER, 1969 ... thinl~ and challenge what you hear. Demand to know why... Once students have learned a certain amount of medicine, he feels that they must then have contact with patients. During their training they have the responsibility to learn to know and to work with people. ''That, after all, is really their business.'' But as to the proper time pointed out this notable physician - that is up to the teacher and not the students or the public to decide. ''Young man - you in the blue sweater would you like to ask our patient here, what is wrong with him?IID Dr. Butt challenges students. �JOHN M. ANTKOWIAK, '71 Cheektowaga , N . Y.

College of New Rochelle THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �AN INSPIRATION TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, Dr. George N. Thorn has also been quite instrumental and played a significant role in the development of my own career." Some of the 350 physicians, students, and alumni who attended the 32nd Annual Spring Clinical Days at the Statler Hilton heard Dean LeRoy A. Pesch add this special tribute to one of the School of Medicine's great alumni. ''Admonished to speak not to the future but to the present," Dr. Pesch continued, "while the frustrations of the present are with us, we see in the contributions of the 40-year class - the 1929 graduates - that progress comes by evolutionary processes. It is important to have patience in the presence and to hope that the future is better.'' The 40-year section of the program, moderated by Dr. Samuel Sanes, featured five graduates. ''Four months after diplomas were awarded them, the greatest depression in the history of the United States hit them,'' he explained. ''But today we honor the 40-year graduates who persevered, never losing faith in the future, to become contributors to the progress of their communities, to become leaders, and to make the past 40 years the most productive of all time.'' Forty years ago, it was pointed out in Dr. Victor L. Cohen's presentation, ''we could only offer an autopsy for patients with vascular ring simulating bronchial asthma. But today we can offer them an accurate diagnose and a life-saving operation.'' An excellent prognosis in the treatment of gout was attested to by Dr. L. Maxwell Lockie. SUMMER, 1969 Drugs are now available to relieve acute symptoms promptly and for the patient with more than one attack of gouty arthritis per year, there is long-term therapy. Immuno-suppressant drugs for the rheumatoid arthritic and an artificial hip jointa new procedure in orthopedic surgery - have led to ''seeing lots of patients walk two weeks after surgery who have not walked in two years.'' Practical uses for hyperbaric oxygen were outlined by Dr. Frederick G. Stoesser. Its greatest value is in gas gangrene, he pointed out. But other uses include hemorrhage, emergency cases where blood is not available, carbon monoxide poisoning, osteomyelitis, and circulatory deficiency. ''I want to educate you to the potential of hyperbaric therapy. Other uses that are being experimented with now will eventually become more available,'' he concluded. Dr. Norman Heilbrun admonished faculty members who are editors of journals not to reject new case experiences from young practicing physicians and thus prevent evidence of some abnormalities from reaching the professional public. In his presentation of a 30-year follow-up of a patient with cathartic colon, he pointed out that he was discouraged from publishing. But three months after receiving the editor's rejection notice, a colleague who ran across several similar cases, encouraged him to publish on his own. "He felt that my findings were striking." In less than six months the article was published. Patients who take cathartics over the years, noted Dr. Heilbrun, are really hyperstimulating the bowel. It is in a state of chronic contraction. 21 Spring Clinical Days Dr. Puinman �CORROSION STUDIES of RENAL DISEASE PAUL DITTMANN JAMES C.

Thorn, there is a possible 5-lOo/o patient population that is surgically curable. But, he cautioned, medical therapy should not be instituted until the patient is screened properly. Excellent screening tests, pointed out the Hersey professor of theory and practice of physic at the Harvard Medical School, are now available that can identify these patients. There were also sessions on bacterial disease, antibiotics, viral and fungal diseases where Dr. Paul A. Bunn of the State University at Syracuse pointed to a new drug - gentamicin - with great implications in the treatment of extensive burns which also has possible side effects on the kidney as well as the cranial nerve. A problem for the 1970's, stressed Dr. Erwin N eter, will be chronic urinary tract infection. Multiple antibiotic resistance will also have to be dealt with. Even effective drugs, after long use, may be associated with the emergence of resistant germs. In the session on organ transplantation bothDr. Felix Milgram and Dr. Robert T. McCloskey concurred. While it is not yet completely understood how cells reject skin grafts, the process itself is mediated by the lymphoid cell. Citing the clinical aspects was Dr. Felix T. Rapaport, director of the transplantation and immunology division of New York University. He pointed out that 2,400 kidney transplants have been reported, and traced its surgical history since the first transplant by Dr. Hume in 1952 at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. In the rejection process, he pointed out that change in kidney size should be carefully noted. 24 Dr. Fred erick G . Sto esser wa s one of the four panelists Lc ho s poke Saturday morning. Where live related donors are concerned, compatability in kidney graft survival is important. To solve the logistics problem, a pool of transplant candidates - tissue typed and registered in a given region is maintained. Any donor appearing at any hospital is typed immediately and referred to the most compatible recipient in any pool. Moderating the panel on Problems of Intersex was Dr. William J. Staubitz. "In ambiguous genitalia we can sex the newborn through the sex chromatin positive cell within half an hour following birth," said Dr. Maimon M. Cohen, while Dr. Vincent J. Capraro warned the group not to administer hormones to any pregnant mother who is threatening to abort. Any hormone drug you give may cause harm. THE BUFFALO MED ICAL REVIEW �Surgical management of a child who looks so abnormal that the mother may have an aversion to the child was outlined by Dr. Thomas Aceto, Jr. In terms of psychosexual growth, he said, it is important that sex determination be made extremely early in life and not be delayed. Delivering the Stockton Kimball Memorial Lecture was Dr. William J. Putnam, assistant surgeon general and regional health director of Region II, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, New York City. The "partnership for health" program that is ''people oriented'' was described by him. Public Law 89-749 which supports this program is an effort on the part of Congress ''to reinvest in the States and communities that muscle, that spirit of community action, which is vital to the preservation of our governmental and societal structure.'' The receiving line for Dean and Mrs. Pesch (left). Its goal is to promote and assure the ''highest level of health attainable for every person, in an environment which contributes positively to individual and family living.'' Innovations, he stressed, are being made in the methods of delivery of health services, scarce resources are being better utilized, gaps are being plugged, and overlaps resolved. ''People oriented, this program can work . . . it is working,'' he concluded. Dr. David K. Miller was given a special plaque at the Stockton Kimball luncheon ''in recognition of his contributions as outstanding teacher, scholar and clinician.'' He was director of medicine and head of the department of medicine at the Meyer Hospital (1937 -1968), director of laboratories (19371948), and professor of medicine at the University (1937-1969). Currently he is associate director of medicine at the Meyer and professor of medicine at the University. Sixteen members of the 50-year class of the Medical School were honored at a 1919 class reunion. Seven other classes also held reunions. The 1919 class members are: Drs. Edgar C. Beck, Matthew L. Carden (host), Elmer L. Dane, Henry N. Goldstein, Mesco J. Helminiak, Arthur S. Huebschwerlen, Henry L. Pech, M. Leon Andrzejewski, Albert M. Crance, Margaret Douglas, George P. Eddy, Joseph R.

Dr. Gottlieb Gives $75,000 For Psychiatric Library 26 A 1921 graduate of the School of Medicine established a $75,000 endowment fund to support the library of it's department of psychiatry. He is Dr. Bernhardt S. Gottlieb, a New York City psychiatrist. The income from this fund will provide books and educational materials in support of the psychiatry program. The new library will be in the Health Sciences Center on the Amherst Campus. It will be known as the Bernhardt S. and Sophie B. Gottlieb Psychiatric Library in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Gottlieb. Dr. Gottlieb presented an initial gift of $5,000 to the University of Buffalo Foundation in December, 1968, and pledged an additional $70,000 to complete his gift, according to Dr. Robert D. Loken, Foundation President. This is the largest single gift to the Foundation for the Medical School since the Foundation was started in 1962. "The University has done more for me than I can ever do for it. This gift affords me a tremendous amount of pleasure and satisfaction, ' ' Dr. Gottlieb said. Dr. S. Mouchly Small, professor and chairman of the department of psychiatry, said, "We are most indebted to Dr. and Mrs. Bernhardt S. Gottlieb for this magnanimous gift to our School of Medicine for a Psychiatric Departmental Library. Such a library will serve to stimulate scholarship and research activities among students, residents, and staff in the field of mental health.'' (Continued on Page 37 ) THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �The need for significant change in curriculum and representation in policymaking prompted the formation of several student and faculty committees in January and early February. Provost Surgenor formed a Health Sciences Bylaws Committee (elected), with student representation, to propose bylaws for Health Sciences. From this Committee, Dean Pesch appointed a Medical School Faculty Bylaws Committee to propose a compatible set of bylaws for the Medical School. This group has nonvoting student members. At the same time a Student-Faculty Liaison Committee was formed with an ombudsman-type function for dealing with student grievances in the Medical School. The recommendation of this group to form an action-oriented student-faculty Committee on Medical Education (curriculum revision for September 1969) was implemented on February 21. The student body has been urged repeatedly by Dean Pesch to form a representative government in order to facilitate a stronger voice in School affairs. In a related action, Provost Surgenor appointed an ad hoc Committee on Minority Admissions, with representation of the Health Sciences Schools, to develop a Health Sciences approach to the problem. This group has been consulting with community and student groups, Independent Studies, and SEEK representatives. A proposal for a Health SUMMER, 1969 Sciences career development center was presented to the Provost. The administration proposed to student representatives on Monday, March 3, that classes be cancelled on Wednesday morning, March 5, in favor of a teach-in. All students and faculty were notified on Tuesday. On March 5, a group of 600 students and faculty met in Butler Auditorium where Dean Pesch presided over presentation of on-going activities, described above, followed by discussion and a decision to convene voluntary workshops that afternoon. Groups on curriculum (200) and bylaws (60-80) met concurrently at 1 p.m., and another group on black admissions met at 4 p.m. The ad hoc Student-Faculty Liaison Committee has been coordinating activities. The student body met Sunday, March 9 and decided to form a constitutional-drafting group of 20 students which could also function as an interim representative body. On Saturday, March 15, another student-faculty teach-in was held. The need for a more representative system of governance for the Medical School was discussed at length. Many individual departments have scheduled faculty-student gatherings to discuss curriculum and problems of communication, and the adll;linistration is providing full cooperation and support for all such activities initiated by either students or faculty.O 27 Medical Education by Dr. Edward ]. Marine, Associate Dean �-'- is undergoing a worldwide evolutionary change. The degree and progress of this change however depends on alert, intelligent, and visionary leadership to provide the necessary catalyst for maximum results. The Hacettepe School of Medicine in Ankara, Turkey has such leadership in Dr. Ihsan Dogramaci, its founder and president. In less than 10 years, he has developed an institution that has become the center of attention for medical education all over the world. Dr. Dogramaci, a 1938 graduate of the University of Istanbul School of Medicine pursued his post-doctoral studies in pediatrics (1939-46) at the University of Ankara, Boston Children's Hospital, and the St. Louis Children's Hospital. Shortly after he returned to Ankara in 1946, he realized that without the facilities of a modern children' s hospital, he could not apply the techniques acquired from his studies abroad. With a handful of Turkish physicians who had also trained in the United States, he planned the first children's hospital to be built in Ankara. In 1951, his plan for a modern children's medical center envisioned future expansion to include a large general medical center as well as research facilities, schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing, physiotherapy, medical technology, dietetics, and social work. The 150-bed Hacettepe Children's Hospital became a reality on July 8, 1958 but three years later a tragic fire destroyed much of it. The record stands that on the day following the fire , Dr. Dogramaci began to rebuild his dream that started in 1951. Six months following the fire, a MEDICAL EDUCATION Medical Education: A New System in T url<ey by William J. Staubitz, M.D. Dr. Staubitz, professor of surgery (urology) at the Buffalo S(·hool of Medicine, spent four r..ceeks at Hacellcpe Unirersity this fall as a cisiling professor. He assisted in selling up research lab oratories and a leaching program in its urology department . 28 THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �250-bed children's hospital was in operation and construction of the 1,000-bed Hacettepe general hospital began the following year. Five years later (1963) the Faculty of Medicine which included a Dental School was organized, and the first medical and dental classes were admitted 12 months later. The Hacettepe Science Center opened in 1965 and a year later an institute of population study was added. The status of an autonomous state university was granted to the Hacettepe Institutions of Higher Learning on July 8, 1967 by the Turkish Parliament. In less than 10 years, Hacettepe University now encompasses a school of basic science, faculties of Medicine, Health Science, Natural Science, Engineering, Social and Administrational Science, Graduate Studies, two research institutes, and a 1,250-bed teaching hospital. It stands as a tribute to a man of vision, dedication, determination, and genius. Before the Hacettepe Medical Center was developed, Turkish medical schools generally accepted students directly from high school. They matriculated into their six-year medical program without an intermediate balanced premedical college course. Large entering classes - anywhere from 200-600 students - necessitated a lecturetype curriculum due to limited laboratory and clinical facilities. No regular period of internship followed graduation. To overcome many of these deficiencies, the education committee for the new Hacettepe University turned to a new program of medical education. The integrated teaching system is the outstanding feature of the five-year program at the Medical School which is composed of three main departSUMMER, 1969 ments - Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, and Community Medicine. Each has its own chairman. The three department chairmen, comprising the highest executive committee of the Medical School, administer the medical teaching program under the aegis of the Education Committee. These departments, divided into subdepartments and units, are each headed by a professor. Basic Medical Sciences, for example, includes the following subdepartments anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, microbiology, and pharmacology. The three units in the subdepartment of anatomy are gross anatomy, histology and embryology, and neuroanatomy. Other departments are organized in a similar manner. Although subdepartment and unit heads are free to organize their research and postgraduate training programs, they are responsible to department chairmen regarding organization and implementation of the Medical School teaching program. Committees - subcommittee representatives draft medical curriculum and syllabi. Subdepartment heads cannot assume too dominant a role as the curriculum committee, part of a larger administrative setup, is responsible to the depart-· ment chairman. Teaching in the basic medical sciences is integrated. Instead of the usual subject matter arrangement according to departmental topics, the student is first introduced to the simplest and smallest functional and structural units, moving gradually toward consideration of the more complex functional and structural systems of the human organism. 29 Dr. Dogramaci �The organization of the five-year medical education program follows: Months First Year Scheduled teaching 9 Elective 111z Vacation 11/z Second Year Scheduled teaching 101/z Vacation 11/z Third Year Scheduled clerkships Basic - medicine and pediatrics 6 Surgery 3 Obstetrics and gynecology 11/z Vacation 11/z Fourth Year Scheduled clerkships Outpatient services 6 Psychiatry 1 Rural health and community medicine 2 Elective 11/z Vacation 11/z Fifth Year Internship Medicine 2 Pediatrics 2 Obstetrics and gynecology 2 Surgery 6 Note: Medical and surgical specialties are included under medicine and surgery respectively. In his first year, the student is taught mammalian and bacterial cells - its morphology and 30 metabolism. He is then introduced to the organization of cells and tissues. The anatomical, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of the various tissues are then discussed. The remainder of the year is reserved for the coordinated discussion of organs and systems. Initially the cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematopoietic systems are discussed. Then body metabolism - together with the gastrointestinal and urinary systems are considered. It is here that the basic principles of immunology are introduced. At the end of the year various organ systems are discussed in detail. The teaching of anatomyincluding dissection-is carried out in a similar sequence. The nervous and endocrine systems are presented with reference to their position as cardinal integrating factors in the human body. Finally, during this first year, reproduction is taught and the student is also introduced to a family-care and clinical program. Basic sciences - microbiology, pharmacology, pathology- are also taught in an integrated fashion in the second year. Here, too, the student is first exposed to morphological and physiological changes observed in mammalian cells and tissues under infective, radiological, and metabolic pathological conditions. The principles of re-establishing normal physiological conditions and the basis of drug action is discussed, and the clinical pictures and tissue manifestations of infections are introduced. Various pathological changes of various organ systems are next introduced and discussed by instructions from the departments of bacteriology, pathology, pharmacology, biochemistry, physiology, and anatomy, as well as the clinical departments. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �The student is given an overall view of the clinical conditions related to the system under study. Introductory clinical science teaching also continues during this period. Beginning in the third year and continuing through the fom:th year, students rotate as clerks through various clinical departments. Instruction continues in seminars, clinical-pathological conferences, group discussions, case presentations, and symposia. Students are expected to take some responsibility for night duties. The fifth year corresponds to an internship in the major clinical departments - medicine, pediatrics, surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology. During this final year interns live at the hospital. For the first two years the curriculum is designed to include about one-third theoretical material - usually presented in small group discussions and occasional lectures - and two-thirds practical laboratory training. Work in the family clinics and "journal studies" continue through the entire five years. Subcommittees are responsible for the preparation of the syllabi as well as the supervision of lectures and laboratory sessions. Student opinions about the program, obtained through interviews with their tutors, are duly appraised and often contribute to the improvement of the system. Except for anatomy dissection and autopsies, all laboratory work is performed in multidiscipline laboratories. Composed of individual units, each student is assigned one for the entire academic year. In his unit, the student has a microscope, a reading area, and a locker for his books and personal effects. SUMMER, 1969 Each unit provides adequate space and has enough basic equipment so that the student can easily perform any biochemical experiment or animal dissection required for a physiology or pharmacology course. Special equipment and chemicals are provided as needed. A student may carry on independent research in his unit if he desires. Each laboratory-with units for 28 students-has a central area for large equipment such as a spectrophotometer as well as other special apparatus. Students perform all experiments independently. Since equipment need not be disassembled after each session to allow for another group, experiments of two-to-three day duration can be conveniently carried out. To encourage individual initiative, all laboratories remain open 24 hours a day. Anatomy dissections and autopsies are completed in the departmental areas specifically equipped for this purpose. Groups of four students each are assigned a cadaver in anatomy dissection. From the inception of his medical education, an elementary clinical teaching program exposes the student to the fundamental principles of observing and recording all pertinent information about the patient. One of the main objectives of this program is to illustrate the importance of the doctor/patient relationship and the holistic approach to the patient. Instructors are carefully selected from those noted for their psychological approach in dealing with their patients. The teachers emphasize the biological, psychological, and sociological aspects of the human being as a whole. 31 �During the first two years of the program, three hours weekly are devoted to clinical studies. Lectures on clinical topics are given, and the students have an opportunity to visit the family clinic. Following these sessions, students meet in small groups with their instructors to discuss the content of the lecture and their observations in the clinic. Each student is assigned to a family (from a low socioeconomic background living in an area near the hospital) in which there is either a pregnant woman or a baby less than one year of age. The student, introduced to the family as its student doctor, takes part in the periodic medical checks required by the family. Gradually, during the second year, he takes increasing responsibility for the family, always under the supervision of the doctor assigned to the family through the general practice unit. In lectures, group discussions, and the family clinic, the student is taught to observe how social and cultural factors affect the medical picture. He also learns how to relate to the patient within the family and cultural setting. During these meetings, the traditional distance between teacher and student is reduced considerably. Students are stimulated to think more independently. By agreement with the Ministry of Health and the authorities of the Province of Ankara, seven health centers located in seven province villages are used by Hacettepe Medical Center for training purposes. At each of these centers, the auxiliary health personnel are appointed by the Ministry of Health. The health officer, who lives in the village, is a member of the Hacettepe teaching staff. 32 These seven villages, with a total population of 50,000, are served by a 50-bed rural hospital, completely staffed by personnel appointed by the Medical School. Fourth year Hacettepe medical students spend approximately four to five weeks in the villages to acquire experience in extending preventive and curative medical assistance to these underprivileged rural people. Throughout the five-year program, the students meet in small groups to discuss new and original articles selected by a special subcommittee. These two-hour-a-week sessions are called "journal studies.'' Prior to the meeting, each student receives a copy of the article to be discussed. He can then make preparatory studies and read materials referenced in the article. Toward the end of this program, students are presented case material or experimental findings from an article. They are then expected to be able to write the discussion themselves. This program is designed to develop student ability in three main areas-reading medical periodicals critically, searching the medical literature on given subjects and gathering pertinent material, discussing experiment findings and relating it to what is known. In this way the student becomes aware of the wealth of new information and knowledge that is added almost daily to the medical sciences and learns to think of medicine as an expanding rather than a static body of knowledge. To gain experience in laboratory procedures and to stimulate interest in medical research, groups of two-to-four students each are assigned research projects which can conveniently be carried out in multidiscipline student laboratories or in THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Students and faculty observe and participate in an intricate operation. departmental laboratories. During the final year (internship), each student completes a thesis which he prepares under the guidance of his tutor. This gives him the experience of studying a selected subject in depth. Two major components comprise the evaluation system at Hacettepe Medical Center. The student is not only appraised by instructors on formal examination but also on performance in group meetings, journal studies, his ability to think scientifically and to deal with patients, as well as their families in the family clinic setting. Weekly 45-minute tests and monthly three-tofour hour tests are regular features of the evaluation system. Test scores account for 65 per cent of the student's total grade. The remaining 35 per cent is determined by the student ' s performance on a formal written examination given at the end of each phase of his training. These examinations are not set by individual departments but by subcommittees representing all the departments involved in that particular phase. SUMMER, 1969 It is hoped that this examination system not only provides a means of assessing the student's ability to coordinate the know ledge he has acquired but also serves as yet another instrument for learning. A baccalaureate degree in the basic medical sciences is given at the end of the second year of medical school by which time the student has completed four years of training, two at Hacettepe School of Arts and Sciences, and two at the Medical School. After receiving this initial degree, it is expected that the student will continue his studies at the Medical School, complete the three remaining years, and receive his Doctor of Medicine degree. However, he may choose to continue in a basic medical science such as physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, or pharmacology, and receive a master's or a doctor's degree in one of these sciences. After three years, this exciting and innovative medical experience in Turkey appears to be functioning well. But perhaps it will take several more years to judge its impact on improved medical care for this nation. It is my belief that the rewards from Dr. Dogramaci's plan will be many to the Turkish nation as well as to medical education throughout the world. I will be most interested in observing the reaction of the other medical schools in Turkey to this new and progressive approach to medical education. And I hope they will recognize the program's merits and adapt it either in part or in its entirety.D ~r. f!ogramaci:.s article o_n "A New System of Medical Educatton m Turkey appears zn Journal of Medical Education, Vol. 41, No. 11, Nov. 66. 33 �Students j oin Dr. Smith. the level at which it is primarily engaged in anesthesia. Is he breathing? dead? holding his breath?'' Over 100 freshmen students - crowding the conference room - heard Dr. Cedric M. Smith describe, as well as demonstrate, the actions of local anesthetics while using the nerve as a model of the nervous system. ''I was anticipating a small class-about 15-when I set up a clinically and socially relevant course on 'Drugs and the Mind',' ' said the young and vigorous chairman of the department of pharmacology, '' but when more than 100 registration cards were returned to me I had to revise my plans to accommodate a larger audience. ' ' Two rabbits - the first under a light analgesia and completely unconscious and the second intravenously given a small dose of barbiturate through the ear vein - were being compared. ''There are four major steps to watch when giving an analgesia with ether in low concentration - unconsciousness, hyperactivity, surgical anesthesia or a WATCH HIS RESPIRATION- Teaching Innovations 34 progressive depression of different reflexes, and irreversibility or a cessation of response and failure of the cardiovascular system.

Nitrous oxide or laughing gas as it is called? " It produces a limited potency and most people will not even go to sleep with it alone.'' The second rabbit appeared to ''have a good drunk" on. "While some of his reflexes work fairly well, others do not. Pick him up, let him fall" - and Dr. Smith did just that. "You see you must catch him as he can't stop his fall.'' None of the anesthetics are perfect, he pointed out. Alcohol may have a lethal effect on people who also have a tolerance to barbiturates, such as pentothal. When were they first used? In 1844 Morton introduced ether. There were many acrimonious debates as to who should receive the credit and monetary reward for the new medicine. With chloroform, Simpson helped Queen Victoria who had lots of children, and didn't God place Adam in a deep sleep? How do these drugs act? Where do we get selectivity of action? And there were more questions. The hour quickly passed. '' What I want you to do for next week - pretend you are in the position to made decisions regarding where research will go in the drug industry. You want to develop a new local anesthetic, as you think the dentist can use a better one. How would you do it; what research should be done to find a new substance; how can its effectiveness and safety be tested ' ' ?0 THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Dr. K. L. Matta and Larry Donoso check data with Dr. Bahl. What's New in Research SUMMER, 1969 A hormone that plays a vital role in pregnancy is under investigation by an associate professor in biochemistry. He is Dr. Om P. Bahl who feels that ''if we can understand the chemical makeup of this complex molecule, some modified forms of it may inhibit fertility while others may cure birth defects.'' Human chorionic gonadotropin - as it is technically called - is produced by the placenta during pregnancy and is responsible for the early growth of the embryo. Several pregnancy tests rely on measuring its level in the urine. Public interest has recently centered on the use of this hormone in treating infertility in humans as well as in farm animals as it is generally believed that its absence makes it impossible for any female to maintain her pregnancy. ''But there is another facet to this hormone that we are investigating,'' he pointed out. '' In women suffering from certain types of cancer, the hormone is produced in excessive amounts. We want to find out whether this 'disease state' hormone is identical to the normal pregnancy hormone, and if it is not, how it differs." He, and three Ph.D. candidates-Larry Donoso, Josephine Alfano, Melisenda McDonald - working with him, now understand part of the hormone's chemical structure; have the tools enzymes developed for the first time in the laboratory over the past few years; and are now in a position to modify the hormone. His studies may hopefully lead to understanding the relationship between the hormone and this type of cancer.O 35 �Student Speal~s to Immunization Group Dr. l sacso n a nd Carl Pcrlino (seat ed) A way to identify and quickly isolate rubella (German Measles) viruses that "couldn't be done" was described at the International Conference on Rubella Immunization by a 25-year old senior medical student. Carl A. Perlino refused to be discouraged while he was working as a summer fellow in a Vaccine Evaluation Unit. He suggested to project director Dr. Peter Isacson that a laboratory test used in the past for influenza and parainfluenza to determine the presence of certain animal viruses in tissue cultures might be profitably used to detect rubella viruses. But if it were a simple test, it was pointed out to him, why hadn't someone else come up with it? ''He went ahead and showed us that it really would work.'' Dr. Isacson said. "And although Carl is married and the father of an active eight-month old daughter, he worked on the project over the summer and continued during his free time at nights and on weekends." Dr. Isacson is an associate professor of social and preventive medicine. Carl's test takes only five days as compared to the two weeks necessary for the present test for rubella virus in which a sample believed to contain the virus is added to a cell culture. After ten days, a different virus, Echo II, is added and if it does not grow, it indicates that the first sample actually did contain rubella virus and that the rubella virus interfered with the growth of the Echo. Under certain conditions of pH and temperature, Carl added red cells to the cell cultures (baby hamster kidney) to which the suspected virus-containing sample had been added earlier. He found the optimal to be a bit on the alkalyl side. After one hour in the refrigerator if the red blood cells stick to the cells in the culture, it suggests that rubella virus is present. A very sensitive procedure, Carl found that the red cells generally wash off easily and don't stick tightly, probably the reason why ''someone else did not come up with it.'' "We now have a rapid identification of the virus,'' Dr. Isacson said. ''Carl has now shown that if a culture is positive, we can wash red cells off, flood the culture with serum from people immune to rubella or from animals. He has isolated rubella virus from at least six throat swabs of children in field trials, and has received experiments from Yale and NIH to see if he can recover viruses.'' The son of Dr. and Mrs. Alexander C. Perlino (130 Depew Avenue, Buffalo), Carl graduated from Nichols School and Harvard College before entering the Buffalo Medical School. Following an internship, he hopes to go to NIH to do research but, with a new daughter, he is considering pediatrics as his field of specialization.D 36 THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �DR.

Pesch said, ''This is a most significant gift to our school, and the largest one that I have had the pleasure of accepting in this, the first year of my new administration.'' A Phi Beta Kappa graduate from the City College of New York, Dr. Gottlieb ended his medical school days with an interest in neurosurgery. Lack of openings in this field led to his training and ultimate shifting of interest to psychiatry. Today, he has a private practice in psychiatry and psychoanalysis in New York City. The practice of medicine has also been an integral part of family life for two other generations of the Gottlieb family . His son, Solon, a 1952 graduate, is a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology. A grandson , Stephen Weinstein, is a member of the class of 1970 , and a nephew, Jeffrey Perchick, one of triplets, a member of the class of 1972. A loyal supporter of the Medical School, he and his wife-a Columbia University graduate who has been a visiting professor at Brooklyn College in marriage and family courses, and is now a psychologist-also established in 1966 an annual award for the senior student who best exemplifies the fact that living and learning go hand in hand. Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, Provost for the Faculty of Health Sciences, said, '' This library will be a focal point for the education of students, residents, and faculty , not only for the psychiatry department but for the entire health sciences. " D SUMM ER, 1969 Physiological Adaptations How does an organism adapt to its environment? That's what Dr. Edward J. Massaro who is studying the effect of thermopollution on fish is finding out. Enzymes, important in energy and carbohydrate metabolism probably exist in all living cells in multiple molecular forms. "When you pollute a river, you change the environment of the fish that inhabit it, " said the assistant professor who joined the department of biochemistry. " And these cold-blooded animals that have a certain temperature tolerance must adapt physiologically if they are to survive. What is the mechanism of physiological adaptation? How does the environment tell the organism to turn on a different gene or turn it off? This is what we are studying, ' ' he continued. The young biochemist who has published extensively came to Buffalo from Yale University where he was a research associate for three years. He held a similar position at Johns Hopkins University where he earlier completed postgraduate training. A Ph.D. biochemistry graduate from the University of Texas (1962), he is a member of Sigma Xi , the American Chemical Society, American Society for Cell Biology, Society for Cryobiology, American Association for Advancement of Science, and the New York Academy of Sciences. He feels that teaching must take precedence over research. '' I must be a teacher first, and then a researcher. '' D Dr. Massaro r 37 �Mr. Lippmann People A second Buffalo medical student has received a U.S. Public Health Service International Health Fellowship for 12 weeks of training in medical care techniques and research methods at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel.

Wehr Premedical Advisors Orientation Project THEMIS Child Enrichment Outstanding Cit izens Medical Sociology People Medical Admissions Today's Stresses; 1500 Children Inoculated In Memoriam �An Impact on Gastrointestinal Disease Two will have an important impact on the study of gastrointestinal disease. Established by the University's department of medicine at the Meyer Hospital, the gastrointestinal clinical laboratory - the first in Buffalo - not only serves the hospital but patients referred from other hospitals and physicians as well. The seconda medical! surgical diagnostic laboratory - will use an interdisciplinary approach to study gastrointestinal disease. Like so many other areas, these specialties have been affected by technological advances. ' 'The frequency of general gastrointestinal complaints makes this an important field, '' said Dr. Leonard A. Katz1 who came here last summer from the U.S. Air Force (Maxwell, Alabama] Hospital to head the laboratory, "and we cannot write everything off as gastritis." Contemporary developments in the field of gastroenterology have led to many new techniques that were not available several years ago. A fiber gastroscope and camera is used to observe the inside of a stomach - to diagnose ulcer and cancer. A multichannel recorder - useful for disorders of swallowing-is utilized in the study of gastrointestinal motility and pressures within gastrointestinal organs. The gastroscopy room - multifunctional - has a gastroscope and an esophagoscope. NEW LABORATORIES 1 Dr. Katz received his medical degree from the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. H e completed his internship and residency in medicine at the Bronx Municipal H ospital Center and a postdoctoral f ellowship in gastroneurology at Yale School of Medicine. H e is chief of clinical gastro enterology at th e Meyer Hosp ital. 2 �Research - both clinical and basic - is being developed. While Dr. Katz' relates directly to the patient! clinical disease states, Dr. David M . Bull, who works with him in this new laboratory, is interested in immunity in the gastrointestinal tract. ''We want to establish a basic understanding of the GI tract and are building on the work of Dr. Thomas B. Tomasi who has been looking at the immunochemical properties of saliva, milk, tears, and sweat in which Immunoglobulin A appears to be the prevalent immunoglobulin. This seems to apply as well in secretions of the GI tract. Eventually, we would like to apply new knowledge of secretory antibodies to the problems of intestinal infections and possibly to the question of intestinal autoimmune dis ease,'' Dr. Bull said. Working with Dr. Katz in the interdisciplinary diagnostic laboratory-for studies of the esophagus and the GI tract - is Dr. Gerard Burns, assistant professor of surgery. Together, they are studying the physiological activities and motility of diverticulosis - a diseas e of the colon which can produce pain, fever, and constipation. With a successful surgical trial underway - dividing the thickened muscle of the bowel to relieve the fundamental difficulty of spasm and muscular overactivity in lieu of removal of a large portion of the bowel - they want to find out, from a r esearch point of view, "how it works . " They will look at the newly purified h ormonegastrin-manufactured in the stomach which has only recently been synthesized. All physiological properties are not yet understood of this hormone which plays an important role in the regulation of gastric secretion in both normal and abnormal individuals. Patients who have had gastric surgerySPRING, 1969 Does it hurt here? Senior Peter Herwitt and Dr. Katz examine patient. removal of portions of the stomach or cutting of the vagus nerve - will b e studied for their r esponse to this hormone. The n ew laboratories will permit an expansion of gastrointestinal physiology and pathophysiology teaching to medical students, interns , residents, and community physicians . Dr. Katz is working closely with Dr. Mir Vilayat Ali [instructor in medicine), Dr. James P. Nolan (acting coordinator of gastroenterology and chief of t h e department of m edicine at the Buffalo General Hospital), and Dr . Jorge A le a [staff physician at the Veterans Hospital) . They are holding combined conferences and GI rounds .

The majority of the fever w as malaria, however we saw quite a bit of dengue, scrub typhus, leptospirosis, hepatitis , and infectious mononucleosis . Extensive laboratory facilities were available to us on the ship , in Danang , and the Naval Medical Unit , Taiwan," Dr. DuBois said. ' 'The diarrhea w as an epidemic problem. It seemed as though all Marines had hookworm, many had ascariasis , and some even h ad strongyloidiasis . Severe diarrhea was sometimes seen with the frequent amoebic and bacillary dysenteries . There were three cases of amo ebic hepatic abscess successfully treated during the year . Plague, typhoid, cholera, and t etanus were endemic diseases among the Vietnamese, however, the American immunization program seemed to be effective since we saw no cases of these dis eases among the troops. ''Respiratory infections were common, usually bronchitis or pharyngitis . Scattered cases of tuberculosis and rare case.s of Meleoidosis were seen. Skin disease, like diarrhea , seemed to be a universal problem. Heat stress , ectoparasites, snake bites, venereal dis,ease , and miscellaneous others were all present. " O NE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT Dr. DuBois is a 1963 School of Medicine graduate. He spent the first two years of his naval tour in Hawaii before volunteering for dut y aboard the USS REPOSE in 1966 . He returned to Buffalo in Ju ly 1967 to begin a m edical residenc y at Meyer Memorial Hospital. Since August 1, 1968, he has been a Fellow in Infectious Diseases at Grady Memorial Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia. He will be in Atlanta for two years. ''Most of the malaria was falciparum and partially resistant to chloroquine . We usedquinine , daraprim , dapsone, sulfa, and chloroquine in varying dosages for this infection. T he men in the I Corps area took chloroquine-primaquine prophylaxis, nevertheless 10 per cent of our malaria cases were vivax.'' Dr. DuBois praised the naval corps on board and said, " a great many more men would die in Vietnam if not for the work of the corpsmen who do a wonderful job. " However, he said, ''The surgeons aboard the REPOSE are by far the hardest working. They stand for hours in surgery without sleep. "One of the toughest jobs is having to return a man to combat after having been near death with malaria or some other disease . '' The ship is 520 feet long, has a 72 foot beam, displaces 15,000 tons, and is capable of 18 knots. A crew of 16 officers and 200 men sails the ship, while the hospital's 550 beds are staffed by 23 doctors , 29 nurses, 3 dentists , 7 staff officers , and 250 corpsmen. Medical specialties are well r epresented including urologic, ENT, thoracic, neuro, ophthalmologic, orthopedic, cardiovascular, �and general surgery. In addition there are anesthesiologists, pathologists, radiologists, internists, and general practice officers. There are also three dental specialities - prosthodontics, oral surgery, and general dentistry aboard the ship. The ship was reactivated and fitted for $9 .5 million as a hospital ship in October, 1965. There are three major and three minor operating rooms, a recovery room, and an intensive care unit. There is a hyperbaric chamber, elaborate x-ray facilities , and frozen as well as conventional blood banks . The surgical facilities were usually very busy. A pump oxygenator was available and this enabled the REPOSE surgeons to successfully graft the thoracic aorta of a patient injured in a jeep accident. ' 'The magnitude and nature of combat injuries are indescribable. The burden of receiving fresh, gruesome casualties day after day was evident on the faces of all concerned. They arrived by helicopter day and night; each was announced by 'Flight Quarters! Flight Quarters! All hands man your flight quarters stations.' Triage was designed for emergency resucitation. Most patients passed through one of the three x-ray rooms on the way, The sick bay. but some were rushed directly to surgery. Operative priority was established by the Chief of Surgery; while the medical cases went directly to the wards.'' According to Dr . DuBois the REPOSE (prior to June 1, 1968) has treated over 13 ,000 patients , 46 per cent of which were battle casualties. Another 17, 000 outpatients (Vietnamese , Thai, Filipino, Chinese , Korean, French) have been treated . There have been 7,000 accident free helicopter landings on the ship . In 1967 the REPOSE and crew was pres ent ed the Navy Unit Commendation for support of the Marines in the DMZ during 26 combat missions. The Special Boards of General and Orthopedic Surgery have approved the hospital for three months of re sidency rotation. Dr. DuBois saw Dr. Robert Winters, M'61, on several occasions to compare cases and discuss therapy. They worked together for two weeks at the very busy Naval Station Hospital, Danang. Another Buffalo graduate , Dr. Kevin Gorman, M'62, arrived on the REPOSE as staff psychiatrist in January, 1967. "Seems like you don't go far in the Navy without bumping into a doctor from Buffalo,'' Dr. DuBois said. The REPOSE was joined by the USS SANCTUARY in April1967. As casualties mounted, the two white ships sailed up and down the coast (without weapons) receiving the sick and wounded. At night they are lit up like hotels in accordance with the Geneva Convention. Togeth er th ey represent over 1,000 clean, air conditioned beds with full complements of doctors, nurses, corpsmen, and facilities. "Nobody likes the war. But it is at least gratifying to know that there is first class medical care available to the young men w ho bear the brunt of our nation's commitments .'

Thorn, M.D. Stockton Kimball Lecture, 1959 SPRI NG, 1969 Austin Flint was born in Petersham , M assachusetts , on October 20 , 1812, in a family rich in m edical tradition . His great-great grandfather, Thomas Flint , settled in Concord in 1638 . His great grandfather, Edward Flint, was a practicing phys ician in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. His grandfather , Austin Flint I, practic ed medicine in Leicester , Massachusetts, and served as a surgeon in the Revolutionary Army . His father, Joseph H. Flint, was a surgeon in Northhampton, Massachusetts. Austin Flint ' s son b ecame professor of physiology at Bellevue Hospital, and his grandson, professor of obstetrics at New York University. Thus, over a period of six generations, direct descendants of this family were engaged in the practice and teaching of medicine . Austin Flint attended Harvard Medical School b etween th e y ears of 1831-1833 . It is interesting to note the faculty of medicine under whom he studied . James Jackson , the second Hersey Professor of the Theory and Practice of Physic occupied the chair at that time, and John Ware, later to become Hersey Professor , was adjunct professor. The professor of anat omy and surgery was the famous John C. Warren, and of chemistry, John W. Webster. Professor of midwifery and medical jurisprudence was Walter Channing, while Jacob Bigelow was professor of mat eria medica. This group constituted an outstanding r epresentation of the best minds in m edicine in the United States at that time. Regarding James Jacks on, the second Hersey Professor, Dr. George Minot, a beloved former memb er of this Association adds the following notation: Jac kson was cons idered a conspicuous and popular teacher but not a brilliant one . H e taught the practic al as w ell as the scientific sid e of m edicine . His 7 �patient was the man and not the diseas e. He wrote as he taught, saying the most useful things in the simplest way . His 'Letters to a Young Physician' are full of practical guidance for the student today. He prescribed cod-liver oil with whiskey, but since these two ingredients do not remain well mix ed, he commonly found the whiskey gone and codliv er oil in the bottom of the g!ass! " 1 Between 1833 and 1836, Austin Flint practiced medicine in Boston and Northampton , Massachusetts . In 1836, he moved to Buffalo , New York, his home for the following twenty years. For one year, in 1844-45, he taught in the Rush Medical College in Chicago while maintaining his residence in Buffalo. In 1846, he founded the Buffalo Medical Journal which was published monthly unaer his editorship for the subsequent ten y ears. Flint's justification for an undertaking of this magnitude in this comparatively young community is convincingly presented in his introduction to Volume I. On the occasion of introducing to the medical public the first number of a new Journal, it will be expected of the editor to give some reasons for its appearanc e, and to premise some account of the objects to which it w ill be devot ed . It will readily be acknowledged, that for the more voluminous and elaborate journals , in m edical as in other departments of knowledg e, we must look to the larger cities , where the elements and facilities for their preparation and diffusion , are to be found in the greatest abundance. But without any derogation from the sup erior claims of these, there are many reaso ns why th ey do not, and cannot accomplish all the objects to be derived from periodical literature . Of these reasons , we may her eafter take occasion to speak more particularly, and to discus s their respective merits. But assuming, for the present, 1. Minot, George Richards. The Inquisitive Ph ysician. (Camb ridge, Mass.: Harva rd Uni versity Press, 1956), p. 199. 8 their existence and validity , it has seemed to ourselves and o thers that Buf-falo is in many r espects a desirable location for a Medical Jo urnal. This opinion is based on its present and prospective size and resources; its relations with the eas t and west , through canals and railroads on the one hand , and the chain of the Grea t Lakes, with their n umerous tributaries, on th e other . It is believed that sufficient material to commend an enterprise of this kind, may be derived from sources which will be constantly increasing and improving; and that a Medical Journal may d o much , not only toward making available the material whic h already exists, but to r ender its futu r e availability and improvement com mensurate with its increase. By m eans of facilities for rapid and extensive communications on every side, our location is p eculiarly favorable for the collection and diffusion of facts from a wide circuit , and the interchange of views and opinions among members of the profession , n ot only in this section of co untry, but situated at points remotely distant from each other . "In conducting the Journal , we shall in the firs t place , devo te as much space as practicable to original co mmunications . Cases are constantly occ urring under the observation of practical men, which are interesting fro m their no velty, a11d which contribu te either to develop or confirm imp ortant truth . . .. In the second place, we shall endeavor to supply to thos e who may b eco me our patrons, C('Jlldensed intelligence of discov eries, improvements, and n ew views in m edicine, surgery, and collateral branch es of science , which may b e co mmunicated to the professio n in this country or abroad, through periodicals and books .. . . Our pages w ill be open to interchange of opinions and free discussion , not only of subjects stric tly belonging to M edical Science - but of any involved in the progress , or interests of the medical profession. Medical education , medical legislation, quackery, medical ethics, and the vario us plans of medical reform, are among the subjects , w hich at th e present time, furnish questions of interest and moment, both as r egards the profess ion and the public . .. . W e would add that the Journal is pledged to no inter ests apart fro m those w hich relate exclusively to the p rogr ess of Medical Scien ce, and the advancem ent of the medical profession. It is not instituted fo r any sectional objects , or partisan views; but to serve as an organ fo r the impartial and untrammelled utteranc e THE BUFFALO MED ICAL REV IEW �of opinions on any matters pertaining directly or indirectly to its professwnal objects. 2 The regular publication of the Buffalo Medical Journal, with its high level of critique under Flint's editorship, provided a vital force in the elevation of standards of medical practice in the western part of the state and adjoining areas in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Canada. In 1847 Austin Flint, in cooperation with Frank Hamilton and James White, founded the Buffalo Medical College. He maintained his faculty position there until 1852, at which time he became professor of medicine at the University of Louisville for a period of four years, returning again to Buffalo Medical College for the period of 18561858 . During the winters of 1856-1858, Dr. Flint served as professor of medicine at the New Orleans Medical School. In 1861 he left the watershed of the Mississippi and assumed the Chair of the principles and practice of medicine and clinical medicine in Bellevue Hospital Medical College and that of pathology and practical medicine in the Long Island College Hospital. Thus, in his lifetime , he influenced the early course and development of six medical schools in the United States - a tremendous educational accomplishment in its own right. Austin Flint's interests in medical practice and education w ere not confined to the editorship of the Buffa lo M edic al Journal and his professional duties . In 1846 he attended the first National Medical Convention in New York City. This meeting ended on a discouraging note and undoubtedly would have result ed in failur e had it 2 · Flint, Austin . Int rod uct ion, Buffalo Medical Journal I : I , 1886. SPRING, 1969 not been for the courage , interest, and farsightedness of three members , one of whom was Flint. Because of his continued belief in the cause, he was made a member of the committee on medical literature, a committee chaired by the Honorable Oliver Wendell Holmes . Austin Flint was elected chairman of the section of practical medicine of the American Medical Association in 1850, and in 1884 he was honored by being its president. The American Medical Association, under his leadership , convened in Washington on May 6, and the following excerpts from his Presidential Address delivered in Washington, D.C. on May 6, 1884 illustrate his concern for the needs of the profession at this time, his wisdom and his understanding. I revert to the question: What can our Association do to promo te mo re and mo re th e elevatio n of the st andard of m edical education? It is to be borne in mind that exclusive of the motives for personal improve m ent ~hich appeal to its members individually, the profess ion must rely upon itself for w hatever is to b e done . T he A m erican Medical A ssociation repres ents the pro fessio n of the whole co untry . Hit herto the association has b een content w ith r eports, addresses, and communications pointing out existing def ects in m edical education , and reco mmending changes and improvements , the immediate adoption of so me of whic h was imp rac ticable . T oo often a predo minant spirit of animadversion has been apparen t. Le ~ a c ou ~se be pursued w hich is more active and p racllc ~l, w1th refer ence to m easures for progress . Let certam m easures be proposed for immediate adoption , w hich are within th e limits of practicability . Let these measures r eceiv e the sanction and support of the local associations in th e differ ent states of the union . Let the National As sociation take th e initial steps and solicit co nfe rences with , and the cooperation of , State Associations and the leading medical colleges throughout th e country, w ith a view to agr eem ent r especting the propos ed definit e m easures . Let these steps b e taken in a kindly spirit, with an earnest 9 �desire to harmonize different views and interests in order that there may be united action as regards improvements agreed upon. In this way, as we may hope, uniformity in the different states w ill be secured in behalf of the second of the objects for which our association was instituted. Our association, bo th by precept and example, has aimed to facilitate and foster friendly intercourse between those engaged in the practice of medicine. The opportunities for the renewal of old and the formation of new friendships and for social enjoyment are in themselves sufficient to rend er the meetings of the association of great value. Let us continue to cherish this last one of the several objects fo r which our association was instituted, so that, in this point of view, to the enjoyment of its meetings, may be added the pleasures of anticipation and of retrospection. '' 3 This address had a tremendous impact on medical thinking throughout the United States and represented, as one might well have predicted, the well-considered and well-tempered judgment of a man who for nearly 40 years had devoted his energies towards the advancement of medical education and the standards of medical practice. It is difficult in the time available to do justice to the scientific accomplishments of Austin Flint. Some idea of the breadth and depth of his medical knowledge may be ascertained from the following, First and foremost was the publication of his Treatise upon the Principles and Practice of Medicine, 4 the first edition appearing in 1866, This textbook, which was used widely throughout the country, unaerwent several revisions. As an example of Flint's remarkable understanding of 3 · Flint, Austin. Annual Address, J.A.M.A. 2:505-513, 1884. 4 · Flint, Austin. A Treatise on the Principles and Practice of Medicine. (Philodelphia : Henry C. lea, 1866), p. 654. 10 pathophysiological changes , I would like to present the following excerpts: A cute, Desqua mative Nephri tis: Causation. This affection may occ ur at any period o f life; young infants are not exempt from it. It occurs oftener in males than in females. As already stated , in the ma jo rity of cases it is a sequel of scarlatina . It may occur during the progress of scarlatina , or follow directly the stage of desquamation, but it is most apt to oc cur in the seco nd or third week after the date of convalescence. It is an import ant question whether this sequel proceed exclusively o r chiefly fro m an agency pertaining intrinsically to scarlatina, or whether it depends on ex trinsic causes , suc h as the action o f cold . It occ urs in cases in which the utmost care is taken to place the patient beyond th e agency of extrinsic causes, but it is probably that the latter are frequentl y involv ed. In this discussion of the causation of lomerular nephritis, Flint judged quite correctly that scarlatina was more important in the etiology of nephritis than extrinsic causes. Diabetes Mellitus, or Saccharine Diabetes, Glucosuria . Melituria. Glucohaemia . Following a definition and notes on the clinical history of the disease, Flint has this to say under Pathological Character: The pathological character of this disease has already been briefly considered in conn ection w ith the morbid conditions of the blood in Part I [of the textbook]. N otwithstanding the facts relating to digestion which science has acquired within late years , and the impor tant discoveries by Bernard relating to the glucogenic function of the liver, the pathology of diabetes is still obscure. It is n ot certain that the disease does not consist, in a meas ure at leas t , in an abnormal production of sugar from the ingesta w ithin the alimentary canal , as maintained by Bouchardat and others. The notable effect of excluding from the ingesta substances readily converted into sugar goes to support this pathological view . Bernard considers that the disease is due t o h yper -secretion of s ugar THE BUFFALO M ED ICAL RE VI EW �by the liver, dependent on morbid excitation rec eived through the n ervous system . The know n essential pathological condition is the existence of sugar, in more or less ab undance, everyw here in the blood . But it is not certain that this co ndition is due to the en trance into the circulation of an excessive quantity of sugar; it may be due to th e entranc e into the circulation of an excessive quantity of s ugar; it may be du e to interruption of the processes by w hich the sugar existing in th e blood in the right side of the hea rt is destroyed during the passage of the blood through th e pulmonary organs . This is the view held by Mialhe and Raynoso, the form er a ttributing the deficient d es tructio n to a w ant of s ufficie nt alkalinit y of the blood. The goo d effec ts of alkalies given as r emedies , in some cases of diabetes, affords some support of this do ctrine. It se ems clear that the essential pathological conditio n is depend ent either , (1) On an undu e introduction of sugar into the blood , w heth er fr om hype r-production of sugar in the liver or in the alim en ta ry cana l, or both ; (2] On d efic ient destruction of the suga r, the quantity not being in creased; (3) On an increased introduction and deficient destruction combined . Our present knowledge does not ena ble us to sa y in w hich of these thr ee explanations lies the tru e pa th ology of t he disease . The great am ou nt of s ugar excreted in the urine in so m e cases of diabetes r end ers it pr obable that the quantity w hich enters the b lood exceeds that in health. 5 This r emarkable discussion of the etiology and pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus, particularly the discussion r elevant to "over production and under utilization" is a classic . It is to be borne in mind that this section was w ritten in 1866, more than 20 years prior to th e experiments of Von Mering and Minkowski and n early 50 years prior to the discovery of insulin. Diseases of th e Supra-Renal Capsules-Addiso n 's Disease . . . . Bronzing of the skin, or melasma, corresponding to th e description by Addiso n , may exist without the anaemia and cac hectic condition w hich 5. Ibid., pp. 676-680. are essen tial to the affection w hich he describes. T his affectio n ends fa tally aft er a duration varying fro m two months to three years. It is to be b orne in mind that m elasma alo ne is not evidence of Addison's disease and , in itself , does n ot involve a grave condition. The melasma , w hich is a symptom of Addison's Disease, is to be di scriminat ed from the eruptive disease known as pityriasis nigra. The latter is ac co mpanied by fur furaceous desquamation of the cuticle, and is attended b y a troubles o me pruritus . Discoloration of the skin caus ed by the prolonged adm inistration of silver is , also, not to b e co nfo und ed w ith th e bronzed skin of Add ison' s Dis ease. Microscopical exam ination of specimens of skin affected with the bro nzed discoloration made by Wilks, Robin, and Dalton , has shown that the morbid cha nge in color is d ue to pigmentary granules in the ret e mucosum, id entical with those in the skin of th e Negro . 6 Flint 's warning that melasma or increased melanin was not , in itself, diagnostic of A ddison's Dis ease is a point well tak en. Austin Flint's outstanding contributions in the area of physical diagnoses are best illustrat ed by a paper entitled " On Variations of Pitch in Percussion and Respiratory Sounds and their Application to Physical Diagnosis" w hich was awarded th e annual prize by the American Medical Ass ociation for the year 1852. In addition, his articles on serous effusion into the arachnoid cavity and pleuropneumonitis complicated w ith pericarditis , illustrate a high degree of pathological correlation with physical signs and symptoms. There is no doubt that Flint's contributions to the physical diagn osis of valvular h eart disease r emains to this day a classic . His skill in diagnosis is illus trated both in the sections on heart disease in his textbook as well as several scientific reports dealing with the correlation of physical ch aracteristics of murmurs and autopsy findings . 6. Ibid., p. 687. 11 SPR ING, 1969 I I �The medical profession today acknowledges his contribution in its eponymy -the Flint Murmur, an apical diastolic murmur occurring in aortic regurgitation as the result of a relative narrowing of the mitral orifice in the presence of a dilated left ventricle. In 1849, Flint made a notable contribution to American medical literature in his report on an epidemic of cholera in w hich he summarized effectively the criteria for diagnosis and contributed significantly td important epidemiological features. A medical classic of all times is to be found in Austin Flint's description of a typhoid fever outbreak which occurred in a small town near Buffalo. The contagiousn ess of typhoid fe ver is proven by instances in which persons having contrac ted the disease in one locality, go to anoth er in w hich the disease was not prevailing , and of the residents in the latter locality with w hom they are brought into co ntact , a gr eater or less number become affected . Many instances of this kind have been reported, but the most remarkable of any on record came und er m y observation in 1843 in a little settlement called No rth Boston situated eighteen miles from th e city of Buffalo, consisting of nine fa milies, all b eing w ith an area of a hundred rods in diameter; b ut th e few houses in w hich the disease occurred were closely gr o uped together around a tavern, the house farthes t remov ed from the ta vern b eing o nly ten rods distant. A stranger from New England, tra veling in a s tage coac h which passed through this settlem en t, had been ill fo r several days , and on arriving at this stopping pla ce, was unable t o proceed furth er. He r emained at the tavern and, after a few days, died. H e was see n by several physicians of the vicinit y and there can be no doub t that his disea se was the same as that w ith w hich others w er e s ubsequently affec ted . Up to this tim e typhoid fever had never been known in that neighborhood . The sick stranger w as seen by the members of all th e families in immediat e proximity 12 to the tavern w ith a single excep tion. One family, named S tearns, having quarrelled with the tavernkeeper had no interco urse w ith the family of the latter and very lit tle w ith th e oth er families , a ll of w hom w ere tenants of the tavern keeper . No m ember of the family of Stearns saw either the sick stranger or any of those w ho were taken ill after the stranger's death. Members of the fam ily of the tavern keep er were the first to b ec ome affected . . . In a month , more than one-half the popula tion , numbering 43 , had been affec ted . . . and ten had d ied. Of the families imm ediately surrounding the tavern , tha t of Stearns alone escaped; no case occurred in this family. The occurrence of th e dis ease p roduced great excitem ent in the neighb orhood; poisoning was suspected, a nd Stearns was charged w ith having poisoned a well u set.: by all the families excep t his ow n . A fact which encouraged this suspicion w as the common well being owned by the tavern keeper; he had r efused permission to us e it to Stearns w ho had in consequenc e been obliged to dig a well for his own use . An examination of the w ater from the commo n well showed it to be perfectly pure . The disease was undoubtedly typhoid fever. Visiting this settlement during the prevalence of the dis ease , and rec ording the symptoms of s eve ral cases then in progress , the clinical history furnished abundant evidence of th e nature of the diseas e . Moreover, I mad e a n examination of th e body of one of tho se who had died w ith the disease , and fo und the P eyerian patches ulcera ted and the mesenteric gland s greatly enlarged. Now , were it proposed to d evise an experiment to tes t the communicability of a dis ease, no b etter plan could b e adopted than to introd uce a case in to a district w h er e it was not at the time prevailing, and to procure free exposure on the part of some of thos e residing in the d is trict. T h e experiment would be mo re satisfactory if the diseas e introduced had n ot been hitherto endemic in that locality. And to rend er the experimen t as p erfec t as possible, by divesting it of any moral infl uence, it sho uld be mad e w ith out the know le dge of those w ho were to b e the s ubjects. If, under all th ese circ umstanc es, a large propo rtio n of thos e of the inhabitants of the district who had bee n bro ught into contact with the dis ease were attacked simultaneously or in quick succession , and thu s a new and hitherto unknow n affe ction be suddenly THE BUFFA LO MEDICAL REVIEW �------~--- d evelop ed , w hich spreads rapidly over a limited circuit , affecting tho se onl y w ho had been in habits of intercourse with th e impo rted case or w ith th e perso ns w ho were s ubseq uently a ttac ked , o th ers res iding in th e same dis tric t , b ut not bro ught into contact with the disea se, uniformly escaping- w ha t is the logical dedu c tion from the facts?

Ex cerpts from this paper illustrate Flint 's insight into the problems w hich w ould confront medical libraries and the profession in the years to come.

T he medical semicentenarian can recall the enthusiasm aroused b y the labors of Liebig. Histology is now in the ascendant , but it is safe to predict that, before the lapse of another half-c entury, there will b e another era in organic chemistry , and that light will penetrate dark recess es w hich histology cann ot reach . Tracing to protoplasmic cells physiological and pathological processes brings us in close proximity to these processes, but th ey are not thereby elucidated . Histology may disclos e the agents, but it leaves us in the dark as regards the agencies . How is it that secretions, excretions, nutrition, growth, and certain morbid products are bro ught abo ut. " This ques tion cannot be answ ered w ith our existing knowle dge , and the answer must come from organic chemis try. The suprem e ob jects of stud y in pathology at the present time are the disco very of micro-organisms and their na tural history . But these agent s, it is probable, are pa thogen etic , not directly but indirec tly, by means of the toxical p rodu cts of their activity. What are these products , and how do they giv e rise to the phenom ena of disease? W e may ask the same q uestion of certain of the poisons introduced from without the body . How is it that fraction al quantities of morphia , hyoscy amin, strychnia, aconitia, atropia, and other alkaloids produc e their lethal effects? It conveys no adequate information to say that they act upon the nervous syst em. This is merely th e statement of a fact , not an explanation. For the latter, we must look to the organic chemistry of the future. · The progress of m edicine, so far as it d epends o n observation, h as b een affec ted especially by the sense of sight. T h e sense of hearing, it is true , has contributed most important information, especially respecting the organs within the chest. It is needless t o refer to the knowledge ob tained by means of auscultation and percussion of th e lungs and heart. A large share of this knowledge has been obtained within the last half-century . It is ne edless , also, to refer to the marvelous developmen ts w ithin th e last f ew years of knowledge respecting the tr ans mission of sounds outsid e of the body, as exe mplified by the telegraph , th e telephone, the microphone, ahd the 14 phonograph. These developments have not as yet add ed much to our knowledge of th e normal and abnormal actions taking place within the body . Much is to be exp ected from this so urce in the future .' It seems certain to m e that the principle of the tel ephone will , by-and-by , be applied to intrathoracic respiratory and heart sounds , so that they will be transmitted to th e ear with m ore distinc tness than they are by the binaural stethoscope. The healthy and morbid sounds will then be so easily observed as to rend er the physical diagnosis of pulmonary affection in all cases a very simple problem. More than this the clinical teacher may b e able to demons tra te ausculta to ry sign s to a class of m edical students co mfortably seated in the lec ture room or hospital amphith eater . The same is to be said of asculatio n of the h eart. 1 0 A remarkable and accurate prediction! Austin Flint, age 74, died at his residence in New York on Saturday , March 15 , 1886 .

Flint's life-long efforts in behalf of medical education and practic e have born fruit and he undoubtedly would be proud of the high position which the medical schools, teaching hospitals , and practicing physicians occupy in this l 0 .

His apprehension regarding the inevitable deluge of medical literature and the tendency of the profession to specialize in restricted areas of medical practice are well justified. His suggestions regarding the need for basic science training in conjunction with clinical experience were never more pertinent - and we can well imagine that his voice, if present today, would ring out loudly in favor of strong basic science experience for all students throughout the four years of medical school - thus recognizing that the difficult decisions with which the physician of tomorrow will b e faced can only be made effectively by a mind well prepared through the objectivity which biochemistry, biophysics, and mathematics provides . So too, we would find the voice of Flint insisting on the fact that there is also an "art" in the practice of medicine - that the teaching and exemplification of this is a responsibility which fulltime teachers must assume personally if students are to believe in its importance. In other words , the successful practice of medicine today requires that a physician accumulate a rapidly-increasing body of scientific information, develop the ability to think clearly and objectively, and be capable of establishing a warm and understanding relationship with his patients. In addition the true physician carries an obligation to record his experiences for the benefit of others. Austin Flint was all of these , and subsequent graduates of the University of Buffalo School of Medicine have had their professional lives deeply enriched by the influence which h e exerted during the formative days of this institution. SPRING, 1969 Dr. Thorn presented this Stockton Kimball Lecture on Clinical Day, 1959. Theinternationallyfamous doctor-educator received his M.D. degree in 1929 from the School of Medicine. In 1942, when he was only 36 years old, he was appointed to the most distinguished Chair in American medicine - Hersey Professor of the Theory and Practice of Physic, Harvard Medical School, and as Physician-in-Chief, Pet er Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston - positions he holds at the present time. In April1967, he was appointed Samuel A. L evine Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School. Dr. Thorn's medical interests and research have been concentrated in the field of endocrinology and m etabolism. His early work in the study of Addison's disease led to the discovery of an extract of adrenal glands which preserved the lives of individuals with this disease, and his continuing contributions to the understanding and treatment of this condition have brought to him numerous honors in this country and throughout the world. He pioneered in studies of salt and water metabolism, the effect of high altitude on adrenal function, the myopathy of thyroid disease and has made outstanding contributions in furthering medical know ledge ofdiabetes mellitus. Of his many accomplishments, it is difficult to single out any one for particular emphasis but, in recent times, his research in ACTH and the development of its use in the treatment of numerous diseases of man has brought to him world-wide acclaim and numerous national as w ell as international awards. He was the first to show that complete adrenalectomy in man could be performed safely, and he initiated the earliest work in human kidney transplantation. D 15 D r. Thorn �Someone Cares. Young Dr. Sattar Farzon and patient bridge the generation gap. Con~munity Medicine at M eyer Hospital 16 A new 49-bed community medicine facility, established at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, is a joint venture between the hospital and the department of medicine at the University. It is serving to close the gap between a better understanding of the patient and how his problems affect him and the community. Patients are referred from the acute medicine service-in n eed of further hospitalization for chronic or convalescent care following acute illness -and those who need professional help to return to the community . The facility hopes to find out why these patients keep coming back with the same problems . It is the community - as taxpayers and as family members - who must pay a high cost for not closing the gap. States the new facility 's director, Dr . Earl H. Noble, " we feel that the most effective way to shorten a patient's hospital stay and return him to the community - within the limitations imposed upon him by his medical problem - is to bring together all the professionals in one area to look after him.'' A team - physicians , nurses , nurs es aids , occupational and physical therapists, medical sociologist, social workers, psychologist, psychiatrist , chaplain, etc. - meet at weekly conferences where they pool their information ab out the patient. Collectively, they develop a treatment program that covers not only care but a plan to organize the patient ' s life around his medical problem. They also determine the place in the community home, a nursing facility, the Erie County Home that will most benefit the patient. THE BUFFA LO M EDI CAL REV I EW �This facility serves as a pilot project where the team approach assures the patient of a continuity of treatment , a program of rehabilitation if necessary, and the feeling that someone cares. It includes a 12-bed rheumatology unit and will soon add a pulmonary rehabilitation unit. Many of its patients, by virtue of their medical problems, are elderly. With national statistics showing over 20 million 65-year olds, and better nursing and medical care lengthening their lives, the numb er of chronically ill will increase. "The staff must have an understanding of how to handle the elderly patient, " Dr . Theodore C. Krauss, a part-time consultant on the facility stresses. ''The relationship itself can help to "Punch and cookies? " Nurse Florence Davis and Head Nurse Nanette Pugh (behind her) inquire of a patient . • SPRI NG, 1969 Som e of the staff enjoy the Christmas "trim m ings" they prepared. create a healthy community response to the problem. While the elderly patient does not ex pect a miracle he does want something done for him . . . to offer him a ray of hop e. If we can make him accept the inevitable or if h e is incontin ent , h elp him to co ntrol this condition, that is a result,'' he concluded. Reeducating the patient so that h e can live w ith his problem is w hat team m emb er Nurse Florence Davis thinks must be done. " Sometimes th e patient does not even feel that he is worthy eno ugh to eat. We must make him fee l that he is, that someone cares . Our aides try to bring the best of what is left in each patient 's life to the surface.'' Group th erapy is practiced in the facility. Patients eat together and share each oth ers' experiences. 17 �help he needs , so that he can b e as independent as possible. "Let's take the case of a 70-year old femal e patient admitted from the acute medical service. She arrived in our unit bedridden, very depressed , uncommunicative, and would not eat. Obviously there were other problems as well as the medical. Unable to speak English well, another patient w ho spoke her native tongue explained things to her. She began to trust the staff, to respond. She was ambulated and reached the point w here she could sufficiently take care of h erself. ' 'When we brought her son to the hospital to see her functioning, we were able to convince him that she would be happiest w ith him and not at a nursing home as he had planned. Three months A patient takes care of him self "How are you today?" asks Dr. Earl H. Noble. The patient ' s treatment is reevaluated by the team. Will he need followup home care? A comprehensive treatment program if he is arthritic? Continuous advice on how to manage his illness and to live with it? "We want to find the right place in the community where the patient can most benefit,' ' says the facility's full-time internist Sattar Farzon. "We encourage the patient to take an active part in each phase of his hospital stay." No patient, he feels, should have complete bed rest but should be ambulated as soon as possible . " We must evaluate how much the patient can do , how much 18 �ment grant will h elp to evaluate th e effectiven ess of this type of program . Definitiv e studies on data collected from patients in the facility are planned for the futur e. These studies may pinpoint the most successful treatment modalities or communication gaps in total patient care. And if they do , this pilot-typ e program may hav e far-reaching implications for future hospital treatment m odalities .O Dr. Raymond .E. Partridge, who heads the 12-bed rheumatology unit, checks an outpatient in the clinic. Mrs. Thyra Charles, director of public health nursing, joins the party. later the son brought in a happy mother for a checkup in our outpatient clinic. She was functioning -cooking and cleaning in her own home . Had she been s ent to a nursing home, she may have lost all interest in the future." It is hoped to have the community medicine facility evolve into a teaching program for health professionals. "Public health nurses are expected to start their training on our service in March,'' Dr. Noble said . " We hope that medical students, who have seen many of our patients on the acute medicine ward, will have an opportunity in the future to see and to participate in our team approach to total health care of the patient,' ' How many patients will benefit from the community medicine facility's ability to close the gap? Only time will tell.

He writes the orders and signs " clinical clerk" on the record w hich is kept on permanent file. The resident physician, who is assigned at least two clinical clerks, checks and c ountersigns the orders. Every fourt h night, however, this procedure is performed unguided . Subsequent laboratory procedures are performed by the clinical labor atory. ''The consultation work is r eally tremendous . . . some very exciting conferences,' ' one of th e clinical clerks said. " We may call on experts and specialists at any time. ' ' Students present their cases at conferences - at least one a day with a specialist in some area - and on grand rounds.

Bordan, the physical exam of the pedia tric patient has its own characteristics. problems in pediatrics, Dennis L. Bordan, a junior medical student, spent the summer studying the clinical aspects of metabolic and nutritional diseases of children at the Children's Hospital under Dr. Luis L. Mosovich, assistant professor of pediatrics. "My interest in pediatrics dates back to my freshman year where I was exposed to the diseases of childhood in the Introduction of Medicine Cf!Urse and during last summer's research fellowship. The clinical study of metabolic and nutritional diseases seemed an excellent way to utilize some of the things I learned in the basic sciences, as well as an opportunity for clinical experience in pediatrics,'' Dennis said. ''My program involves both clinical investigation and patient care," he continued. The genetic study of a family with liver glycogen disease with phosphorylase deficiency [Hers' disease) revealed that the males [grandfather and four grandsons) and none of the females are affected. Patients with this metabolic abnormality have a pathognominic galactose response to the galactose tolerance test. Dennis is utilizing this tolerance test to detect family members suffering from the disease, the normal carriers and those who are completely normal. Pediatrics Fellowship (Dennis L. Bordan was one of tw elve medical students on a APFME-sponsored Summ er Fellowship.) 24 "From my preliminary data I feel that we are dealing with a sex-linked inherited disorder , " Dennis said. Carnosinemia - a recently described metabolic disease - manifests itself as a gradual and insidious central nervous system deterioration. In the study of a patient, Dennis gain ed insight into this unusual condition. '' Very often, it is accompanied with uncontrollable conv ulsiv e activity,'' he said, "and there is an absence of carnosinase. " The study of this patient and his brother consists of the determination of carnosine , histidine , 1-methylhistidine and anserine in plasma and urine while the patient received a normal carnosine-containing diet, a carnosine-free diet and a high anserine and carnosine-containing diet. These studies will be followed by the determinations of metabolized carnosine in blood and urine during Dennis and Dr. Mosovich in the bi- weekly nu trition clinic. �In patient care, there are the ward rounds following patients with diabetes , cystic fibrosis and progeria and infectious disease. There is also the bi-weekly Nutrition Clinic where Dennis sees patients in a more natural social surrounding. Not only is he exposed to the patient ' s reactions to his problems, but to the parents ' reactions as well. ''Here,'' Dennis said , '' I have the opportunity to learn the intricacies of regulating children with diabetes, following patients with cystic fibrosis, and to adjust the therapy of patients with vitaminD resistant rickets. Ward rounds for D ennis and Dr. Mosovich. a carnosine loading test. " I learned the technique of electroencephalography to monitor the patient during the dietary changes,'' he said. Although he is not studying the patients directly, he followed and saw two patients admitted to the Clinical Research Center with hypophosphatasia. They had clinical rickets, low serum aldaline phosphatase, wide fontanelles and respiratory difficulties. "The therapeutic approach to this condition gave me the opportunity to become familiar with the concept of enzyme induction by corticosteroids, phenobarbital and vitamin A," Dennis observed. SPRING, 1969 ' 'The physical examination of the pediatric patient has its own characteristics, '' he continued. ''My clinical experience has been solely with adults, and I am now b ecoming more keenly aware of the differ ent approac h needed in pediatrics. '' Dennis had the opportunity of examining two patients with homocystinuria, with characteristic features of dislocation of the lenses, fine blond hair, malar flu sh , typical skeletal deformities, and v ascular thrombosis . Dr. Mosovich, his freshman preceptor and sponsor of last year's research project, said, "I would like Dennis to see the pediatric patient as a unique patient - one that is growing and maturing from a mental, as well as a biochemical and physiological point of view. Also important is that h e learn to correlate his knowledge in basic sciences - biochemistry, biophysics and physiology - and apply it to bedside problems. He will have found his program most satisfying if these two aspects in his training are accomplished over the summer. ' ' D 25 " A d ifferent approach is needed in pediatrics. " �Pulmonary Emphysema This was one of 21 Continuing Medical Education courses offered during the 1968-69 year. A "first" in Buffalo , and perhaps on a national level, was the use of a new media to increase the exposure to medical education. It was introduced at a two-day symposium, w h ere all asp ects of pulmonary emphysema - one of the most challenging and more complicated medical problems in the field of internal medicine - were cov ered. Each session was taped on video tap e, permitting duplicate sets of the program sessions which will b e reproduced on film for movie projection. Round-the-clock service by an able Health Sciences audio/ visual crew under the direction of Dr. Robert E. Pantera assured the success of this portion of the program. O ver 250 att endees, one of the largest groups at a continuing m edic al education pr ogram , heard an unusually outstanding international faculty . Co-sponsorship of the program with the American College of Chest Physicians assured representation from South America, Europe, Russia , and Japan. From all over the country came 46 F ellows supported t hrough grant funds . In r eturn , they will p erpetuate the t eaching aspects of the conf erence by showing the taped teaching sessions in their respective communities . At coffee break : Dr. Rahn listens to the other fellow 's point of view. The Public H ealth Service grant also calls for a summary of the c onference by a F ellow to serve as its model t eaching program fo r ch est disease. Dr. Theodore H. N oehren (ass ociate professor of medicine) op en ed the confer enc e by outlining the scope of the problem. As evid ence that the national and regional incid ence of emphys em a and bronchitis is rising at a ph enomenal rate, h e The program featured a unique series of 25 simultaneous roundtables at an evening session. This p ermitted a direct but informal exchange on all aspects of emphysema among the r egistrants, the visiting faculty , and over 30 of our own faculty sp ecialists. Dr. Noehren j oined the University of Utah Medical Center January 1. He had been on the Buffalo School of Medicine fa culty since 1952, He w ill have a similar fa culty position in Salt Lake City, and be affiliated with the V eterans Administration Hospital. 26 THE BUFFA LO M EDICAL REV IEW �pointed out that New York City alone reported an increase of 700% in this disease in the last 15 years. Although bronchogenic carcinoma is the fastestrising cancer incidence in males today, emphysema is increasing four times as fast as lung cancer. "If this trend continues," he warned, "before the decade ends the death rate from this particular chronic respiratory disease for white men over age 45 will exceed mortality rates from all the other chronic respiratory diseases (tuberculosis, cancer, and asthma, etc.). One of the round table discussions SPRING, 1969 One of our major problems is the collection and accuracy of the data. He pointed out that diagnosis alone creates a tremendous area of uncertainty. Prolonged morbidity is another area of significance. ''Some patients live more than 20 years with this disease ... a long time to live without enough air to carry on a normal existence." Dr. Noehren also traced the complicated chain of physiologic events that occur. He noted thatpersonalproblems of patients can b e tremendous and pointed out that psychological stresses lead to a neurotic triad of anxiety, depression, and oversensitivity. Another speaker, Dr. }. Bernard Gee of the University of Pittsburgh, reviewed respiratory acidosis, the retention of carbon dioxide caused by defective ventilation, and how artificial ventilation can help ease the problem. A new techniqu e for the assessment of gas exchange was detailed by Dr. Francis J. Klocke. Inert gas determination by cardiac catheterization, which can be repeated at two to three-minute intervals, eliminates the diffic ulty of alveolar gas samples, said the associate professor of medicine at Buffalo. Dr. Alfred P. Fishman of the Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, detailed the importanc e of chemical stimuli as regulators of pulmonar y circulation. The banquet speaker, Dr. Hermann Rahn, was introduced by Dr. Noehren to " t h e largest and mo st interested group of chest physicians to attend thes e continuing medical education programs. " Dr. Rahn , department of physiology chairman at Buffalo, outlined his own concept of the evolution of respiratory acidosis. D 27 �Harrington Lecture on Genetics Dr. Em ery exam ines patient during clinical gra nd rounds. From the laughter heard in the corridors at the Children 's and Meyer Hospitals during grand rounds, and from the lecture halls at the Medical School, it was obvious that the audience enjoyed listening to the soft-spoken man with a Scottish brogue, and he enjoyed talking to them. It was also obvious from scanning the same faces that appeared at each teaching session that teaching was a delight to Dr. Alan E. H. Emery and that th e stud ents came to learn. The only disappointment expressed by the second Harrington Lecturer - not having the opportunity to talk with more students. The professor and head of the department of gen etics at the Univ ersity of Edinburgh, Scotland , accepted the student body invitation to visit Buffalo , particip at e in grand rounds, and talk to them about his primary inter est - genetics. '' I came to Buffalo because the students asked me! '' And that feeling was generated throughout his visit. The Harrington Lecture Committee (a student body) was organize d in March 1967. A new pattern for the Lectureship , endow ed in 1905 in th e last will and t estament of Devillo B. Harrington , closely identified the student body with the Lectureship. It was now their r esp onsibility and their privilege. ' 'Gen etics is really th e Cinderella of the medical sciences,'' Dr. Em er y said to the fres hman and sop h omore medical st udents who cam e to his session on M od ern Trends in Human Genetics. H e presented an overall view of genetics - what the geneticist is doing now and wher e gen etics is going. " A lot of p eo ple are going to b e working in mathematical gen et ics . W e w ant to find out w h ere th e gen es are located on the chromo so m es." 28 " I came to Buffalo beca use the students ask ed me.

Wehr Retires from Roswell Parl< A 1930 graduate of the School of Medicine has r etired after 37 years as assistant director of Roswell Park Memorial Institute. He is 52-yearold Dr. William H. Wehr. It was 1931 when he completed his internship at Buffalo General Hospital he went to the New York State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases . The name was changed to Roswell Park in 1946 as a tribute to Dr. Park, w ho had been instrumental in founding it. Dr. Wehr started as an attending physician, then became an associate cancer gynecologist, associate cancer surgeon, principal cancer breast surgeon and finally assistant director. Dr . Wehr served as acting director, and at one time served in four jobs (acting director, breast-treatment program, the business office, nursing department]. ''I worked seven days a week. After working all day, I returned in the evening to visit the patients, talk to their families, change their dressings, give intravenous feedings and set up radium treatments. I got home about midnight and was sure to be awakened one to five times between then and 5 a.m. by phone calls from nurses ," Dr. Wehr said. In the 1940's, Dr. W ehr was instrumental in initiating the educational program that brought SPR ING, 1969 students fro m the Medical School and the resident physicians into the institute. Since 1952 , w h en h e was named assistant director, he served in a liaison capacity between the State supported institute and the State Department of Public Works and Budget, overseeing the continuing expansion program. An animal-research building on Maple Street has been named for the r etiring assistant director. When Dr. Wehr came to Roswell Park in 1931 the institute had beds for 25 patients and a staff of 68 (only four were full-tim e physicians). Its budget was approximately half a million dollars . This year the institute has 300 b eds , an extensive research program, has 2,100 employees and a budget of $21 million. Dr. Wehr has long been active in the Erie County Unit of the American Cancer Society. The unit recently named him an honorary life member. He is a past vice president of the unit. Until he was injured in an industrial accident, his gr e ~t e st joy was sailing an aux iliary sailing sloop that was built for him in Denmark. He is past commodore of the Buffalo Canoe Club and a memb er of the Swiftwater Squadron of the United States Power Squadrons. Dr. and Mrs. W ehr hav e moved to Pompano Beach, Florida .D 29 �... "we rely heavily on your letters of recommendations. " Premedical Advisors Orientation How about the student with a strong motivation and drive for medicine but whose academic record is wishy-washy? What about the veteran whose grades have been improving since his return to school? These were some of the questions raised by the 22 premedical advisors who attended the two-day meeting sponsored by the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education . The conference, initiated five years ago, exposes them to the background , program, faculty, and students of the Medical School. Last year , over 100 diverse college backgrounds were represented by the more than 2000 admission applications received, making selection of medical students a difficult task. ''We turn down an equally qualified number of candidates as we accept, " admissions chairman Dr. Philip B. Wels pointed out to the group. " And we must therefore rely heavily on your letters of recommendation. '' Adelphi, Allegheny , Canisius, Hamilton, Haverford, Howard, lana, Lincoln, Morehous e, Philander Smith, Rutgers, Skidmore, Swarthmore, Trinity, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont , Wyoming , and SUNY at Buffalo, Albany, Stony Brook, and Oneonta were campuses represented. There were the usual tours of the m edical and dental facilities - "give and take sessions " - and prearranged appointments with students from their college to find out how they were progressing as medical students. Informal social sessions permitted Admissions Committee members and advisors to mix freely. "I think that I have personally met and spoken to every one of the advisors. This has helped to establish a much more meaningful relationship. 30 The advisor is b etter informed ab out Buffalo and I about his campus, " one of the Admissions Committee memb ers pointed out. The group witnessed a research project demonstration by James T . Webber, a master' s candidate and a freshman medical student. He pointed out the importance of res earch which leads to a h ealthy skepticism. " Things we are now sure of, we will not b e so sure of in the future - and w ill question as more information comes out. ' ' There was a medical lecture and laboratory session, and an outline of the future of the Univers ity and the Medical School by Associate Dean Robert L. Brown. Its effect?

SPR ING, 1969 31 �Children's Program at the Medical School "Call it motivation or potential .. . they need to see something besides despair and hopelessness." A CH ILD ENRICHMENT program for preschool children from the inner-city is in full swing at the Medical School's Main Street Division at 2211 Main Street. The unique program offers a group of 30 three and four year olds some of the cultural and recreational advantages lacking in their homes. The program is an offshoot of the well-baby clinic operated jointly by the Vaccine Evaluation Unit in the department of social and preventive medicine and the Erie County Health Department. It originated with Mrs. Genevieve Holmes, the nursing coordinator for the clinic, who felt that many of the children attending the clinic needed more than health ch eckups. ''Call it motivation or potential. They need to see something besides despair and hopelessn ess." Area businesses were approached and donations of toys, food and drink for snacks, and play equipment were obtained. 32 Of the 524 children attending the clinic , 100 are preschoolers . The 30 particip ating in the program are divided into small groups that attend two-hour weekly sessions. Periodically all the groups get together for a joint music lesson, singing, and rhythm band. Mrs. Bernice Cassals, a clinic assistant who taught seven years in inner-city schools , explained the program is a varied one . Children draw and paint, listen to st ories told or read to them , and play games. They learn how to care for personal property, how to share, and how to express themselves . There are also occasional field trips to the zoo, concerts, plays , and other cultural events.D Mrs. Bernice Cassals and Mrs. Genevieve Holmes with som e of the 4- year olds. �Sopl1.o1nore Woman President There is a woman president at the School of Medicine. She is Mrs. Colleen Livingston Gratto , president of the sophomore class. The 22-year-old attractive blond believes she was elected for her "activist tendencies," not for her glamour. ''Since shortly after w e got to m edical school, we 've been known as the activist class," Colleen explains. "But now we've got the new freshman class with us. "Some of us have been pretty discontent about the relevance of a curriculum that provides so little clinical work in the first two years. And with only two electives allowed in a four-y ear medical school curriculum, we think a lot of individuality is being sacrificed.'' Despite her busy class and study schedule and the homemaking chores that go along with being the bride of a y oung law student , she's getting things done. With five other students, she is meeting with the Medical School faculty to discuss solutions to both the clinical and elective questions. "All we want is a better education and that's something the faculty should be interested in too . " Being married and a college student at the same time seems most natural to Colleen who was attending Amherst Central Junior High School while her father, a onetime farmer, went through the University Dental School. The family was originally from Canton, New York, and aft er h er fath er's graduation they returned ther e. That ' s where Colleen met h er husSPRING, 1969 band, Clarence Gratto.

One day a week, the gro up meets with Dr. Edward Marra, chairman of the department of social and preventive medicine , and is iritrod uced to the general content of medicine. '' The most effective way to find out how a doctor studies a patient," explained Dr. M arra , "is through personal involvement. And we do just that. We use the tools of m edicine , teach concepts, and the student 'role plays ' ." Basic science lectures are combined with demonstrations. The student " role plays" w hen he looks at slides on pathology, uses the cardiac teaching machine, do es a throat culture, blood smear and blood grouping. Diagnosis , th erapy and treatment are discussed and ''role played' ' at the Vet erans Hospital. Before wheeling the patient in, Dr. Joseph T. Aquilina, clinical associate professor, reviews each N "What do you see?" step in the care of patients - the history, physical examination, diagn osis , and treatm ent. Students are then free to observe and examine the patient ' s symptoms , and ask questions after the patient is w h eeled out.

D THE BUFFALO M EDICA L REV IEW �An associate professor of social and preventive medicine at the University believes the stresses of present-day living may give both father and son ulcers. Dr. Harry A. Sultz told the American Public Health Association that the incidence of peptic ulcer among Erie County children increased from 0.9 per 100,000 in 1946-53 to 3.6 per 100,000 in 1954-61. Today' s Stresses Dr. Sultz pointed out that certain findings of his study "seem to support" the hypothesis that the stress on children in modern urban society may be a factor in the increase. The study was initiated in 1962 by the State and County Health Departments to determine the occurrence and distribution of about 70 long-term illnesses in children, the characteristics which might affect their frequency, and the impact of disease on the child and his family. The study team obtained its information from hospital records, the office records of medical specialists, birth and death certificates, selected school health records, and family interviews. The study covered a period of 16 years. During that time 106 cases of peptic ulcer were diagnosed. The lowest rate was found among children one to four years of age. The highest rate was found in the 15-year-old group. As with adults, the dis ease most commonly strikes boys . Others who participated in the study with Dr. Sultz were Dr. Edward R. Schlesinger of the University of Pittsburgh; Dr. William E. Mosher, Erie County Health Commissioner; and Dr. Joseph G. Feldman, a clinical instruCtor in social and preventive medicine at the University.D 42 1,500 Children Inoculated The Vaccine Evaluation Unit of the department of preventive medicine is inoculating approximately 1,500 children in 13 Catholic schools in a test of new vaccines against German measles or rubella. The parents have given approval for their children to participate. The children represent the first three grades. Dr. Peter Isacson, associate professor and project director , pointed out that a sample of blood is taken from each child before he received either a shot of one of the three brands of vaccine b eing tested or a " placebo, " an ineffective watery solution. Parents will keep a record of any unusual reaction that occurs afterwards. Tests to date indicate that there are no side effects . At the end of two ma'nths another blood sample w ill be taken and compared with the first to determine whether the vaccine has caused the body to produce disease-fighting antibodies against German measles. At that time the children who received only the " placebo " will also be given the protective vaccine. All of those inoculated will be followed up to five years to determine the length of the protection. This is one of ten test centers in the country.

Pesch, M.D. Dean, School of Medicine D ean Pesch's address to the medical students in Butler Auditorium, September 4. First, let me say it is indeed a pleasure to be here today and have an opportunity to share a few of my thoughts with you on the occasion of this Honors Convocation. Next let me congratulate each of you, not only thos e individuals who have received special recognition, but all of you here assembled who represent the future of medicine. Not the future of medicine as we know it today but the future of medicine as it b ecomes molded into the pattern of the social institutions of American society to emerge ov er the next few decades. Medicine has clearly become a major v ehicle for social change. To be a part of medicine at this juncture is to occupy a pivotal position in what must be the most exciting and challenging period in hunt an history. I would like to talk with you about revolution, not violent rev olution responsive to crisis as a form of solution for social behavior, but a revolution which produces an abrupt discontinuity in the evolution of change and prov ides an opportunity to &ccomplish a quantum leap to a new and better position for the human condition. It is my firm belief that medicine stands in such a position in society today and th e way in which we use the opportunities before us w ill, in large measure, determine the health of society for many 2 gen erations to come . Failure to effectiv ely utilize thes e opportunities on the other hand w ill provide an equal opportunity for us to doom the human condition t o chaos and destruction. The r esults of frus tration , despair , and diseased society are all too apparent to everyone h ere to need furthey elaboration. Let us then look at some of the elements of the rev olution in medicine which have brought us to this point. Then let us project s ome of the opportunities which present themselves for our consideration and action. The r evolution had a silent but w ell planned b eginning. It began at the turn of the century with the development of the Johns Hopkins Medical School. This school did not just come into being. It was the r esult of the dream of a man and the well defined and thoughtful planning of an extraordinary group of individuals brought together in Baltimore. Within that model a revolution in modern medical education took place. The curricular pattern established w ithin the Johns Hopkins model quickly b ecame a positive solution for the chaotic condition of m edical education w hich existed at the turn of the century. Certainly my ow n educational experience and th e curricular pattern you are following today in medTH E BUFFA LO M ED ICAL RE V I EW �ical school with minor modifications is a direct transcription of the innovations which occurred at that point in time. The second component of the revolution in medicine became operationally manifest immediately after World War II with the phenomenal growth of scientific information in the general area of human biology. The pattern for the development of the National Institutes of Health and the support of research was the direct positive outgrowth of some of the chaotic and destructive aspects of that World War . Practically speaking, the major impact of the scientific growth of medicine can only secondarily be measured by its impact upon health and disease. Its primary contribution has been to establish the intellectual substance for medicine as an appropriate university discipline. This, more than anything else, has led to the evolution and development of the concept of the university medical center, a recent concept which has placed universities directly at the interface between the educational, scientific, and intellectual aspects of medicine and its community service counterpart. Let me digress for a moment to enlarge upon how these first two components or determinants, have combined or conspired together to bring about a great deal of progress in the University approach to medicine over the past 60 years. Medicine has a long history of professionalism and omnipotence. In its beginnings, the acquisition of the skills necessary for the practice of medicine occurred through a process of apprenticeship. Although its educational beginnings were firmly rooted in the University with the clergy and the WINTER, 1968 law, medicine was not a science, but rather a mystical and metaphy sical discipline. It was in many ways feudalistic, building its base in a pragmatic way, testing the validity of its ideation by practical results. The vestiges of this heritage in medicine are still with us today. This is not to demean the humanistic heritage of medicine for anyone who has encountered the ugliness of disease knows full well the necessity for compassion of the humanistic approach to the patient. However, the educational innovation of the Hopkins model, together with the impact of the growth of scientific knowledge, have combined to facilitate each one, the goals of the other, and as a result, medicine now embodies a scientific substance of its own which we may call for purposes of this discussion and for lack of a better term, clinical science, and which has led to the development of further innovations in the educational approach to medicine. Witness , if you will, the many experiments carried out in the medical education process since the early 1950's. While many of these experiments have not b een innovative, they have in a sense, been a struggle for the individualization of medical education and the individual rights of students to pursue an education consonant with their abilities, interests , and career objectives. Hence , at the present time, the physician can be defined no longer in absolute terms, nor can the curriculum which fosters his d evelopment be rigidly stated. Ij:ducational programs within medical schools are now coming very close to achieving a graduate approach which brings medical education into the 3 Drs. Surgenor, Pesch �University environment as a continuation of general education, and relates the knowledge of the medical sciences to other fields of knowledge. No longer can we say that there are six or seven or eight or even a dozen sciences basic to medicine. Neither can we say that the field of medicine belongs to the physician alone . D ean Pesch Instead, we must take the position that the science of medicine has reached a point where the knowledge of human biology has the answers for the solution of many problems in society and that the educational programs in medicine must now provide the opportunities for students to achieve the necessary roles in society to facilitate the solutions to problems and the achievement of the many goals we all see as desirable. Only in this way can we deal effectively with the implications of disease in the world today. The third factor responsible for shaping the opportunity before us is one operating outside the University. This is the demand by a sophisticated and urban society for adequate, comprehensive health care . Call it a consumer demand, if you will. These forces at work within society today have brought us to a point where government, which must exist to serve the purposes of the people, is demanding that medicine respond by producing the manpower, the delivery systems, and the total capability for elevating the health of this nation, indeed of the entire world and for all people to the highest level we are capable of achieving. Medicine must become productoriented and not selfserving if it is to reach this goal. 4 At this point in history it is clearly an intellectual exercise to argue that the medical school and the university do not have a major responsibility in this task. The question before us is a complex one . There is no easy solution. The university medical center in its further evolution walks a narrow line between providing the resources necessary for the solution of the problem, at the same time avoiding the risk of becoming inundated or swamped with the service commitments of that service solution. These, then, are the major components which have brought us to the present stage of the revolution in medicine - the educational, scientific , and social determinants which have brought us to another point of discontinuity in the process of change. These elements have combined to create the opportunity before us. The challenge in the solution is the challenge we must meet over the next several years . The opportunity at this medical school at the present time is in many ways unique. This is a university with a great tradition, a tradition which has developed throughout the course of these historical events and a university which now stands on the threshold of a new and exciting redevelopment and expansion of its purposes, its goals, and its programs. We, the members of this university community, possess the opportunity to have a major impact on the solution of these problems. Medicine specifically can be a unifying force, welding together the resources of the university and the community THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �in an effort to model the solutions for society. History will record how effec tively we use the opportunities at hand. We stand at a point in time which is not dissimilar to that facing the people who created the Hopkins model at the turn of the century, and facing scientists who stood on the thr es hold of th e opportunities in human biology shortly after the second World War. The history of the next several decades in medicine will record how effectively we utiliz e these opportunities. I do not intend to pose solutions to these problems today nor do I hav e them readily at hand. However, I am confident that together we can work toward their accomplishment. I ask eac h of you to join me in this effort. Finally, let me say that I am afraid that I have been a bit too serious and perhaps overwhelming in raising and speaking to these issues in the presence of the first-year class just beginning their experience with medicine . I am reminded of an experience that the late President John Kennedy had in addressing the incoming class at the Naval Academy in Annapolis several years ago. In concluding his remarks , he told a story which some of you may have heard. I would like to share it with all of you today, and especially with the incoming class: ''There was a yeoman who was the naval aide to a young lieutenant who had just graduated from Annapolis and who was just begin- WINTER, 1968 ning a meteoric rise in his career. The yeoman noticed that each morning the naval officer would go to his desk, open the drawer, take out a piece of paper and read it intently, whereupon he would put the paper back in the desk, close the drawer and go about his business . The lieutenant rapidly became the youngest captain in the service, the youngest admiral, and the youngest commander-in-chief. Finally, as will frequently happen, the young commander-in-chief fell ill. While he was in the hospital, the yeoman decided that the time had come for him to inquire into the nature of the information which the officer kept on the paper in his desk in the hope it might help him in his own career. So late one night he crept into the commander-in-chief's office, opened the desk drawer, pulled out the piece of paper and read the following: ''Port is left and starboard is right." Kennedy closed his speech to the beginning class at Annapolis by saying that if you learn the fundamentals as well, your career will be assured. In closing, let me simply say to all of you that while I have attempted to be serious today, medicine can, will, and must be fun for all of you. I hope we can make it that way during your stay here, and that because of that experience your future will be assured. Thank you very much. 0 5 �Two Grants for $589,000 Buffalo has been selected as one of nine communities in the United States to participate in field trials of a vaccine to prevent rub ella ( German measles). In a nearly $100,000 two-year contract with Dr. Peter Isacson, associate professor of preventive medicine, the NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is hoping to avert a recurrence of the 1964-65 epidemic which produced some 30,000 abnormal pregnancies. Rubella symptoms are often so mild-rash, enlarged glands behind ears and neck, and many of the symptoms of common cold-that persons may be unaware they have the viral disease . Its greatest danger lies in the possibility that a woman early in pregnancy may be exposed to rubella for the first time. The result can be infants stillborn or who die soon after birth or children crippled by heart disease, mental retardation, cataracts, glaucoma or deafness. The full-scale national testing program will involve about 7,500 school children. "My goal, " said Dr . Isacson, "is to test 1, 500 kindergarten to fourth graders, hopefully before Thanksgiving. Negotiations are underway to select the school sites . Followup evaluation will cover from three to five years. This full-scale testing program to evaluate the safety protection of the rubella vaccine is a necessary step before governmental licensing can be granted next year." Here's how the study will work: The primary school graders will be split at random into four groups and blood samples taken. Different vaccines will be received by each of three groups, and the fourth will receive a placebo (an ineffective solution) . Parents will be asked to record 6 unusual reactions and temperature changes over a 28-day period. A second blood sample to check for antibodies will follow this period and over a three-year period one sample per year will be taken.D Buffalo has been named one of four centers in the nation to initiate a new graduate training program that will prepare superior scientists for careers in clinical settings. Through a $489,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health, the department of biochemistry, over the next five years, will offer beginning graduate students in biochemistry and post doctorate fellows (with either PhD or MD degrees) a unique opportunity for clinical investigation. Dr. Richard J. W inzler, department chairman, said: ''we ought to have one of th e really outstanding centers for biochemistry in the country. Dr. Max E . Chilcote, clinical professor of biochemistry, will head the graduate program which will offer new elective courses in clinical biochemistry, biochemical components of clinical conferences , and human biochemistry and disease. Research areas of potential interest to the medical and dental community will be stressed.'' The two-year postdoctorate program, geared to make up a candidate's educational deficiencies, will also provide experience in several clinical biochemical laboratories, the development of a knowledge of computer application to laboratory problems, participation in clinical conferences, and cooperation with clinical colleagues in research programs.D THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �A prominent Buffalo mechanical contractor has given the School of Medicine $26,575. He is Mr. Joseph Davis, President ofJoseph Davis, Incorporated , mechanical contractors, 120 W est Tupper Street . H e is also presiden t of the Davis Refri geration Company and the Davis- Ulmer Sprinkler Company, Incorporated. Dr. LeRoy A . Pesch, Dean of the School of Med icine, said, "We w ill abide by Mr. Davis' wish and use the money to purchase equipment f or an Electronystagmography Laboratory and a Temporal Bone Bank in the Division of Otolaryngology in the D epartment of Surgery. " Dr. Daniel ]. Fahey, assistant clinical professor of surgery (otolaryngology), will direct these new laboratories. The laboratory will be at Kenmore M ercy Hospital. On August 26, 1957 Mr. Davis took out a 10-year endowment policy on his son, Marshall E. Dav is, with the University as the benefi ciary. The policy was with the Aetna Life Insurance Company. Mr. Davis has been interested in otolaryngology for many years. He was president ofthe Buffalo Hearing and Speech Center board for 12 years (1955-1967 ). The Center at 325 Summer Street has served the hearing and speech handicapped of this area since it was incorporated in 1953. WINTER, 1968 Mr. D av is gives his check to Dean Pesch for D rs. J ohn M . Lore and D a niel]. Fahey. Buffalo Contractor Gives $26,575 to Medical School 7 �Cardiovascular Research Training Center A grant of $104,380 has been awarded by the National Heart Institute to support th~ planning of a Cardiovascular Research and Training Center at the Medical School. The grant is for two years, effective immediately. Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, provost of the Faculty of Health Sciences and a distinguished scientist in basic cardiovascular research, has appointed Dr. LeRoy A. Pesch, dean of the Medical School and director of University Hospitals, director of this project. The University is among several institutions to receive a planning grant to establish a Cardiovascular Center by the National Heart Institute. The award to Buffalo is in recognition of Buffalo ' s excellence in the field of heart disease, both in treatment and in research. In 1946 Dr. John R. Paine, professor and chairman of the University's department of surgery, brought surgical treatment of cardiovascular disease to Buffalo, beginning with the surgical repair of coarctation of the aorta and patent ductus arteriosus. The surgical developments could not have been made without parallel growth in cardiology, in radiology, and in pediatrics. As a result Buffalo has become a major national center for open heart surgery. Similar progress has been made in cardiovascular research. Outstanding investigators in the Medical School have brought recognition and support to Buffalo ' s program. At present over 70 investigators at the University conduct research in cardiovascular disease and receive support from the National Institutes of Health amounting to over $1.2 million. This work is conducted in 8 many departments, including medicine, surgery, physiology, pathology, biochemistry, anatomy, preventive medicine, microbiology , and in the Center for Immunology. Because cardiovascular research and training involves so many parts of the University's Faculty of Health Sciences, and is conducted both within the affiliated hospitals and on the campus, planning for a Cardiovascular Research and Training Center will focus on improving the University's capabilities in cardiovascular disease. This will be achieved by improved teaching programs, expanded and coordinated research, and through greatly accelerated efforts to improve communications between the laboratories and the hospital clinics where patients are cared for. Great care will be taken to plan so that the University Health Sciences Center on the new Amherst Campus will augment and supplement the present strong clinical programs located in the Buffalo General, Veterans, the Children's, and the Meyer Memorial Hospitals. Consistent with this the planning does not conceive of the bringing together of all the University's strengths in one building. Since December, 1966 a committee has been working on this project. They are: Dr. David G. Greene, (Chairman) professor of clinical research in cardiovascular disease; Dr . Floyd Skelton, professor of pathology; Dr. Edward C. Lambert, professor of pediatrics; Dr. Francis J. Klocke, associate professor of medicine; and Dr. Worthington G. Schenk, Jr., professor of surgery. Dr. Oliver R. Hunt, Jr., associate dean of the Medical School, also worked with this committee.D THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �There is a shortage of medical and health personnel in Western New York and it may soon become critical. That's what a health manpower survey directed by Dr. Harry A. Sultz, clinical associate professor of social and preventive medicine, indicates. The survey, made on behalf of the Regional Medical Program of Western New York, shows that health services are concentrated in the cities, and it is very difficult for people in outlying areas to travel into the city for treatment. More health care professionals are graduating from schools, but research and teaching attract many of these.D Health Manpower Shortage The shortage in all fields is more acute in rural areas than in cities. Erie County, for example, has 2,078 physicians, or 1.95 per 1,000 population and 765 dentists, or . 72 per 1,000. The comparable figures for physicians in other WNY counties are: Niagara, 226, or .93 per 1,000; Chautauqua, 128, or .88; Cattaraugus, 86, or 1.07; Wyoming, 26, or .74; Genesee, 69, or 1.28; Allegany, 30 , or .68. In Erie County, which is better off than the others, shortages are drastic. There are 2,759 full-time and 606 part-time nurses , but 420 funded positions are vacant and there is a need for 504 others. There were shortages in many other fields psychologists, social workers, dieticians, X-ray technicians, medical technologists , speech clinicians, occupational and physical therapists. There are at least 118 vacancies in these areas today and n eed for another 187 trained people. "Health service today is one of the nation 's largest and fastest growing industries," Dr. Sultz declared . "We need to make a concerted effort to fill the manpower gap and develop new kinds of health personnel to increase the productivity of overburdened professionals.'' W INTER, 1968 Junior Alan I. Leibowitz, past president of the Student American Medical Association (SAMA ), presents a $500 check to Dean LeRoy A Pesch for use in em ergency loans to Buffalo medical students.

In a program unique to the Buffalo Medical School, a two-hour medical cas e presentation at the Veterans Hospital (located just across the street fr om the M edical School) is an essential part of the orientation pr ogram for the incoming class. Now in its fifth year, it was initiated and planned by Dr. Theodore H. No ehr en , associate professor of medicine. Collectively, the class of 105, who had not yet attended a single class, was asked to diagnose and recommend treatment for three patients. This year the problems were - a duodenal ulcer , gastritis, athlete ' s foot complicated by a secondary infection and hyp erthyroidism. ''The session is run entirely by y ou, ' ' Dr. Noehren advised. "Take a history . Make a diagnosis. The patient know s who you are. Take him and enjoy it as you can. ''I am not trying to trap you,'' he said to the assembled class. " What I am trying to demonstrate is the tremendous amount of knowledge your class brings with you b efor e y ou even ent er the medical training. '' Freshman Lawrence S. Pohl (Hew lett, New York), in a white laboratory coat , began the examination. "What" he asked of the first patient volunteer, " are your complaints? " " Wait , " laughed Dr. Noehren, "do you have his name ? How are you going to send the bill?" After a nervous b eginning the interview got underway. Patient George M. Nicholas revealed that he had a history of stomach aches. 10 " Are any typ es of foo d upsetting to y our system? " No , h e had never b een on a diet and had had these s ymptoms fo r 20 y ears - off and on. Hands wer e rais ed and oth er students joined in the questioning. '' Any bleeding ? W hat is the pain like? W h en did it begin? Did he drink'? W hat was his job? " One student , who had work ed in a strip mill over a summer and who w as aw are of the em otional problems involved w hile working a swing shift , asked- ' 'Did the patient enjoy his job ? Was h e afraid of b eing laid off ? Did pain increas e since his army days? " Aft er an hour of qu estioning, Dr . N oehren interrupted - " Let 's make a diagnosis now . . . our waiting ro om is full. " Collectively, the clas s concluded that the patient (nerv ous even though he liked his job and w as not going to get layed off) had a duodenal ulcer. The prescription a bland diet, a mild tranquilizer, and clos e m edical observation. "W auld y ou like a lady doctor with you ? " asked Dr . N oehren of the sec ond patient. Unknown to the students , the patient (Dr. Clarence THE BUFFA LO M ED ICA L RE V I EW �D. Bull] was a specialist in internal medicine on the hospital staff. No one asked his occupation. After 30 minutes Dr. Noehren pointed out that this might be pertinent information. He was asked, and stated that he was employed by this institution (Veterans Hospital]. Aft er a long pause . . . ' 'and before that I was a physician in South Carolina.' ' Silence - and realizing they had been "had " and by themselves - applauded loudly. Turning to him, Dr. Noehren asked " Aren't you surprised that there are no negro students in this class? Are there any programs in this area for negroes? '' Concerned about these problems, the class questioned Dr. Bull at great length about medicine in the south and ghetto medicine in Buffalo . It was most revealing of Buffalo, the students , and their ' 'patient. '' The final patient (a mailman and a Marine in World War II] was in a wheelchair with his foot elevated. Questioning him (Edward W. Kuzan] revealed that his problems dealt with swelling, redness , and tenderness of his feet since World War II when he spent 30 days in the swamps of Bougainville . Asked one student - ' 'where in the world is Bougainville?" Mr. Kuzan, a member of the First Marine Division that took the last enemy stronghold in the Solomons, was astonished . Dr. N oehren delivered a brief geography lesson to the students (most of whom were not born when Mr. Kuzan and the Marines landed on the island]. As in the other two cases, however, the students were completely accurate in their diagnosis and recommendations. This mass clinical session is only the beginning to the early introduction to patient care for the WINTER, 1968 freshman class. Groups of five students are assigned to a preceptor for an orientation to the profession of medicine. Meeting weekly for two hours, the course is adapted to their particular needs, The advisor gets to know each member of his group intimately and is available for guidance in academic or personal problems. Sessions are usually in a hospital setting where students meet and talk to patients on the wards, observe an operation or a delivery, visit the accident or admissions service or observe a program of medical research. There are also visits to community clinics, offices of private practitioners or with the hospital administrator. Students are unanimous in their approval of an early introduction to clinical medicine, and the proof is that most graduates can still remember the patients interviewed during M edical Case Presentation on their first day of medical schooLD Dr. No ehren d irec ts the m edic al case presentation �Family Oriented Medical Program Two medical technolog y stud ents - Karen Karni , Ruth Aylesworth and Sharon Richardso n - work in the lab oratory. medical students are working in all phases of a unique family-oriented medical program. "We want to meet the special needs of the people in the First Ward of Lackawanna. We want to get to know the families and their problems . . . to make sure they are getting the type of health care they should be getting," said Elliott S. Dacher, a junior medical student, associate director of the Student Health Organization , and a member of the program 's board of directors. "It all started a year ago with an 'idea'. University medical students saw the need for first-class medical care in ghetto areas," according to Arthur R. Goshin, also a junior medical student and the Student Health Organization chairman. Wanting to do something about their serious health problems, the people in the First Ward of Lackawanna organized a health co mmitt ee . Approached by this committee, the medical students volunteered to help. " We are meeting the patients in a community setting and studying at first hand the health needs of the poor. We are seeing the significance of social, economic, and educational factors in the perpetuation of the poverty cycle, of dis ease, and of inadequate health care," Mr. Go shin said. "All of this seemed miles away when it was first mentioned in some of our classes,'' he continued. Early in 1968 several medical students visited the area and talked to people in Lackawanna about what was needed and wanted. And a few months later, the students decided to concentrate their efforts on the First Ward. APPROXIMATELY150 12 Dr. Edward ].

Ques tionnaires were sent to their counterparts in the Health Sciences - nursing , dentistry, medical technology, physical and occupational therapy - as well as social welfare. These disciplines volunteered to give at least one night a month to the project. Approval was obtained from th e University, the Erie County Medical Society, and the Health Department. The latter agreed to accept legal and administrative responsibility for th e project and to provide personnel - three physicians, a nurse, THE BUFFALO MEDI CAL REVIEW �a dentist, a social worker, office help , an x-ray technician, nurses ' aides, and a laboratory technician. The University provides the salary of the medical director, Dr. Joseph B. Armenia, M'62, clinical instructor in medicine; the volunteer services of several faculty members; medical equipment and supplies , and pay for the renovation of the building for the Center. The Center, designed to give medical care to both children and adults , is located in the basement of the building on Wilkesbarre which houses the Catholic Charities Center. It has a complete laboratory setup [for hematology studies) as well as an x-ray machine. Furnished tastefully with attractive modern furniture and draperies, future plans call for a mental health counseling program. An important facet of the program is followup health care. The patient advocate program emphasizing the team approach - under the direction of junior medical student Russell Massaro , does just this. Teams consisting of an upperclass nursing student and a freshman or sophomore m edical student under the supervision of an upperclass medical student, number close to 100 students. The groups, already set up , have been receiving orientation lectures from professional community members. They will soon visit families from the clinical p opulation or those recommended by the community to bridge the gap b etween the patient and the doctor. The first patients visiting the clinic [which has not yet officially advertised its opening) were pediatrics cases. On Monday and Thursday evenings [6:30-9:30), Wednesday afternoons [2-5), and WINTER, 1968 Saturday mornings [9-12), y ou may see anyw here from 15-20 patients w ho have come through appointments . Although the Health Department has the legal responsibilities for its administration, Health Commissioner William E. Mosher has agreed to b e guided b y an advisory b oard of directors representing the community , and students and faculty of the University.

Berger, assistant professor of social welfare. The First Ward is a residential "island" with a population of 7 ,500, completely surrounded by industry. This area is the sixth most unhealthy of the 30 wards in the cities of Buffalo and Lackawanna. The ward 's birth rate is thesecondhighest , it's tuberculosis cases rate fourth, syphilis and out-of-wedlock birth rates sixth and infant mortality seventh. Health and medical facilities are limited. The Health Department has maintained well-baby clinics, a dental clinic for children up to the fourth grade and a clinic for the detection - but not the treatment- of chest disease. Our Lady of Victory Hospital, the only one in Lackawanna, is unable to expand its outpatient clinics because it has no interns or resident physicians to staff them. The two physicians who practice in the First Ward one only part time - cannot begin to meet the needs, and one of these at least, does not accept medicaid or welfare patients. President Martin Meyerson has repeatedly enunciated the policy of fostering the greatest possible interaction with the urban and regional community of which we are a part. He has indicated that we must seek new and different ventures whereby this interaction can be meaningful. The Lackawanna Community Health Center is such a venture.D THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Some of the first quantitative information on heart function in water was presented at a twoday stress conference sponsored by the department of physiology and the Heart Association of Western New York, Incorporated. Dr. Charles V. Pa ganelli, Jr. , associat e professo r of physiology, and Dr. Rahn join the group for lunch. The Physiology of Stress Dr. Donald W. Rennie, (associate department chairman) told the 45 world-renowned physiologists representing 11 countries that by using a technique co-developed by Dr. Leon E. Fahri (professor of physiology), he found the heart to pump less blood when the body is in water . He also pointed out to the scientists - many of whom are or were associated with the department of physiology - that exercising as a body heating mechanism is not nearly as effective in water as in air. Much of the heat is lost to the environment. This type of research, he stressed, is of practical value in determining the type of protective suits needed by deep-ocean diving scientists who will live on the sea bed for extended periods of time . " Only the surface of the sea and its problems associated with diving have been scratched, '' pointed out Dr. Edward H. Lanphier (medical diving expert at UB) . He felt that perhaps hydrostatic pressure itself may be the limiting factor in deep-ocean dives and likened the use of submersible vehicles in underwater exploration to " living on earth without ever getting out of your car. '' Dr. Hermann Rahn, department chairman, opened the conference in Niagara Falls.D WINTER, 1968 15 �Ground Brol<en for New Campus THis Governor Roc k efeller and Matthew Meyerson dig while President M eyerson and Mr. Seymour Knox wai t their turn. of the great universities of the Western World." That's what Governor Nelson A . Rockefeller told an overflow crowd of more than 1,000 persons, all prominent in the educational, civic, and industrial life of the Niagara Frontier, at the ground breaking ceremonies October 31. The ceremony was on the site of the new 1200acre campus off Skinnerville Road, between Millersport Highway and Sweet Home Road. Governor Rockefeller said, "this $600 million facility will be the key unit in the State University system. Here at Buffalo we have the best of both worlds - the rich tradition of excellence and diversity brought to the State University system by a venerable private institution, the University of Buffalo, and the dynamics, drive, and financial strength of the world's fastest growing State University. "In a real sense this combination of attributes at Buffalo symbolizes the balance w e seek in meeting our responsibilities to assure every q ualified young man and woman in New York State a chance for higher education. I said early in my first term that all young New Yorkers should have this chance if they want it. Nothing could be more important in my opinion. And this new Amherst campus is a giant step toward the full achievement of that goal.'' Dr. Samuel B. Gould, the State University of New York Chancellor , said construction of the 16 WILL BE ONE new campus w ill be the most significant happening in the history of Buffalo an d Amherst. President Martin Meyerson said, " that agreement has b een reached by all parties on the nature of the new campus and the actual physical r elationship of its parts. '' The estimated cost breakdown: academic buildings, $233 million; housing and dining halls , $152 million; health sciences, $120 million; health sciences clinical center, $50 million; health and physical education, $25 million; service and administration units, $20 million. Most buildings will be six stories high with some 11-story structures . Huge as the over-all university will be, Mr. Meyerson said the ''system of 30 separate colleges will be designed to provide all students w ith a small individual unit to which they can be identified in their personal life. '' President Meyerson describ ed the colleges, serving about 30,000 students and 5 ,000 faculty, as ''small centers of identification. '' The role of the colleges is one of informal education where living, dining, social, educational, cultural, and athletic activit ies are related to th e whole of th e educational experience.'' Mr. Seymour H. Knox , chairman of the State University at Buffalo Council, labeled Mr . Meyerson "a superman " for the work that led to the groundbreaking.

Woods, Vice-Chairman, Board of Trustees, Dormitory Authority; and Mr. James W. Gaynor, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Construction Fund. Mr. Harry R. Jones, Supervisor, Town of Amherst, and Mr . Richard Schwab, President of the University Student Association, also participated in the ceremonies. There wasn ' t time for talks by Senate Majority Leader Earl W. Brydges, and Charles R. Diebold, Chairman of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. Dr. John T. Horton, professor of history, served as the University Marshall. He wore academic cap and gown and carried the mace, a medieval reminder of university authority, with regal pomp . He has been on the faculty 42 years. WINTER, 1968 Governor Rockefeller said, " that by 1985 the new campus and the community surrounding it must house approximately 70,000 people directly related to the university or indirectly related by the economic activity the university generates. There will be more than 16,000 new jobs, and a 36 per cent increase in household income within the Amherst area. This is the most promising single new development since the opening of the Erie Canal in 1925. " The Governor reviewed the future of higher education in the state and cited the educational significance of the University Center at Buffalo. ''The commitment at Buffalo, symb oliz ed by this Amherst campus, re-emphasizes the special mission of comprehensiveness assigned to all University Centers. The wide diversity and study opportunity at Buffalo is indicated by the titles Approximately 1200 people fill the tent for theformal ceremonies. �This is based upon competitive salary levels and a climate of encouragement for creative acad emic pursuits.

''Each of these new faculties is rising to the challenge of a new mandate which calls for education in the true university sense," the governor said. " The highest quality prevails, the individuality of scholarly and professional attainments is maintained, and new programs representing timely development in important areas are encouraged to emerge and thrive. The successful growth of the University is related in no small measure to the over-all program of vigorous faculty recruitment. 18 TH E BUFFALO M ED ICAL RE V I EW �in the title of this article may have for the doctor a more meaningful connotation than that of its ordinary use. Cutaneous associations with internal diseases have long been noted in the medical profession. In our clothed society, the most obvious and available part of the skin is the face, and it is to the face that w e will address ourselves here. We will be talking about a little noted and not often used diagnostic art called pathognomy (from the Greek: patho, plus gnome - a means of knowing). Pathognomy is defined as the science of the signs and symptoms of disease, or, more specifically, "the recognition of the nature of a disease by observation of the unconscious revelations of the patient.'' Obviously this covers more than facial clues to disease, but we shall limit our discussion to the face. The face, in a typical medical dictionary, is defined as ''the anterior aspect of the head, from the forehead to the chin inclusive." Ordinarily , to most of us, this is all the face is: an opaque covering for the front of the skull, conveniently supplied with various appendages which differ enough from person to person so that we can recognize those we know. THE WELL-WORN EXPRESSION Dr. Farber is a 1943 SchoolofMedicine graduate. After interning at Buffalo General Hospital, he spent two years at the Mayo Clinic as a Fellow and First Assistant in Dermatology and Syphilology. He went to Stanford University School of M ed icine in 1948. He has been prof essor of d ermatology and executive head, Department of Dermatology, since 1959. H e has also been Physician-in-Chief at the Palo Alto- Stanford Hospital since 1959. He, his wife, and four children live at 300 Pasteur D rive, Palo Alto. W INTER, 1968 But , to the curious , skilled, and intuitive medical diagnostician the human face is far from opaque. It can, in fact, be seen as a sort of w indow to the entire body . Various facial changes and markings can provide the tip-off to scores of internal diseases, both systemic and specific as to organ or area. So, to the physician aw are of this intimate link between face and body, the expression "you don't look w ell" can hav e a special and literal meaning. For example, what would one make of a patient who appeared with what Shakespeare describes, in speaking of Cassius , as " a lean and hungry look"? One would not normally suspect such a patient of contemplated regicide , but he could be suffering from tuberculosis. He might be a victim of the malabsorption syndrome, a failure of the system whereby digested foods are absorbed through the intestinal walls into the blood stream. Or the physician might suspect ulcers, or even anorexia nervosa , a severe nervous condition resulting in a loss of appetite. It might be, of course, that the " lean and hungry' ' looking patient simply has not been able to afford a square meal in some time . In that case it w ould seem appropriate to check his finances as well as his health. Let us look now in brief detail at some other facial indices to disease, beginning with some pertaining to the cardiovascular system . The patient with generaliz ed , nonsp ecific, heart disease may tip off the observant physician almost immediately because of a complex of facial clues: an anxious expression with bright , watery , staring eyes, a tensely-held mouth and a face that appears to be somewhat shrunken. As might be expected, 19 ou D on,t L ool< W ell" ~~y The Face as a C l ue to Disease EUGENE M. FARBER , M .D . P rofessor a n d Exec utive H ead Departm ent of D ermato logy Stanfor d University Sc ho ol of Medicine �Dr. Farb er this group of facial symptoms is known as cardiac facies. On the other hand, the patient whose cheeks are notably shrunken, with the complexion pale and sallow and the sclera pale or bluish, may well be suffering from aortic insufficiency . This complex of facial symptoms is so likely to be linked to the specific condition that it has come to be called aortic facies. A condition involving another part of the heart, mitral disease, may be tipped off by a facial aspect known as mitrotricuspid facies, marked chiefly by rosy, flushed cheeks and dilated capillaries. If a patient has yellow patches, like small deposits of tallow, under the eyes or on the eyelids, chances are about fifty-fifty that he has arteriosclerosis; that his blood is thick with cholesterol or other lipids. Many other facial clues to disease are somewhat rare, but nonetheless interesting . We might look at some of them, remembering what ''a lady'' says to Macbeth in the first act of that play: "Your face, my thane, is as a book where men may read strange matters ... '' The patient whose face has a silvery sheen should be suspected of argyria, a condition resulting from the long-continued use of silver salts, as from argyrol eye or nose drops. The face can show a number of early signs of leprosy: subcutaneous nodules over the eyebrows, loss of eyebrows, a general bovine look. If a patient presents himself with freckle-like markings of the oral mucosa on the lips or inside 20 of the mouth, it is almost a sure bet that he also has benign polyps of the small intestines. A pinched, anxious and furrowed face, with nose and upper lip drawn up, (a complex known as facies abdominalis), is likely to indicate the presence of some abdominal condition worth investigating. In seeing children, one ought not assume that young Johnny is simply as dumb as he looks. That open-mouthed, stupid look may, instead, be a sign calling for the removal of excess adenoid tissue. A cow-like expression, known as facies bovina, is characteristic of a condition known as hypertelorism. Facies hepatica includes a thin face with sunken eyeballs, a sallow complexion and yellowish conjunctivae. This is, of course, a sign of chronic disorders of the liver. The patient with stare and flushed face his current bill. On appearance is often episode. a vacant and bewildered may have just been handed the other hand, such an characteristic of a febrile In the presence of vascular nevi of the face and angiomas of the retina, a physician might suspect the Lindau-von Hippel disease: cystic angioma of the cerebellum, with polycystic pancreas and kidneys. A general bronze-like darkening of the facial skin (not to be confused with a summer tan) could indicate the onset of Addison's disease, hypofunction of the adrenal glands, with resulting internal complications, and likely to prove fatal. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Almost all physicians are familiar with the pinkish ''butterfly'' on the upper cheeks which is an almost certain sign of lupus. A facial condition involving yellow or yellowbrown flat plaques distributed around the eyes (so-called Xanthelasmas) is associated with anumber of different diseases: hyperthyroidism, biliary cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, chronic pancreatitis, nephrosis and glycogen storage disease. Urticaria, often assumed to be a disease entity, is actually only a sign of something wrong elsewhere. These recurrent hives or wheal-like lesions, with their intense itching, may have anumber of underlying causes. These include sensitivities to drugs, foods or other things; or chronic infections in teeth or elsewhere. Cafe-au-lait spots on the face are often an indication of generalized neurofibromatosis. They also may point to the presence of Albright 's syndrome, involving multiple bone cysts and, in the female, precocious puberty. If a patient is seen with gray or slate-blue skin, he may well have hemochromatosis, an inborn error of iron metabolism. It was formerly believed that the color was due to iron deposition in and around the sweat glands. Now it seems clear that the pigmentation is due primarily to an increased amount of melanin in the skin. There is considerable evidence of a high correlation between peptic ulcers and various vascular abnormalities of the lip, including venous lakes and cherry spots, both of which are small angiomatous lesions. W INTER, 1968 Using the face as a clue to disease has led to some interesting absentee diagnoses involving people long dead. One of these concerns Abraham Lincoln and the existing pictures of him. His long, narrow face and projecting jaw are seen by many experts as evidence of the Marfan Syndrome, particularly when linked to descriptions of his long, loosely-jointed figure and long arms and legs. This is a rare heritable, congenital condition. Despite all this emphasis on the face's use as a diagnostic aid, it should not be forgotten that people do undergo facial changes, both sudden and long-term, which have nothing to do with disease. The man who appears to be developing an elongated face may, in fact, only be suffering the ravages of balding, with his forehead moving up toward the crown of his skull. And it is no secret that a woman 's face does not always present the clear source of clues it might. Much can be hidden from the physician's eye by pancake makeup, or even simple powder and paint. The wise physician will also keep in mind that the face does change with age; the longtime patient is going to acquire wrinkles, sagging skin, spots and other indications of aging. This can be a comfort to the physician, since it proves what he sometimes forgets; other people are getting older too. One final thought: Disease is not all. In the human face, friendship and love are good things to look for too.D 21 �Sea Survival Study How MAN CAN SURVIVE in the sea has been cited by the Navy as an example of its new program to bring more schools into military environmental research work. The physiology department in the School of Medicine is leading the way under a special "Project Themis " two-year, $600,000 grant. At a closed-door hearing of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee Dr. Robert A. Frosch, assistant secretary of the Navy for research and development, told how the Navy's "Project Themis" was designed to establish "centers of excellence" at universities which had done relatively little research before in connection with special military needs such as medical-biological, informational sciences, and underwater engineering. Specifically the Navy hopes to learn from the study more about the performance of man in the sea and conditions concerning free swimming and existence in a sealed environment such as a cabin. Rear Admiral T . B. Owen, chief of Naval Research, explained the Navy felt it necessary to establish new facilities for the studies to supplement work already being done on performance and survival of man at sea. ''The University has assumed financial responsibility for erecting the building to house new 22 research facilities in Buffalo ," he testified. " It is hoped that 'Project Themis' can make available the specific research tools desired; namely, the submergenc e facility , wet-dry pressure chamber, and centrifuge. ' 'An unusual and compact feature of the planned submergence pool and centrifuge is that these components w ill be made concentric, '' he continued. " Not only will the angular configuration of the submergence pool permit continuous motion required for studies of swimmer energetics, drag , and the like, but it is planned that the centrifuge arm will accept a removable addition . ' ' Although the present contract is for two years the study will probably extend several more years. It is hoped that the centrifuge will become operational in 1973. A 2 ,000-foot high pressure chamber is scheduled for use in 1971, Admiral Owen continued. The plan is to employ a scientific staff of 12, primarily from the physiology department but some from the Engineering School, plus four graduate students and four technical assistants . Dr. Leon E. Farhi, professor of physiology , heads the project. Working with him are Dr. Hermann Rahn , chairman of the physiology department, Dr. Edward Lanphier, associate professor of physiology, Dr. Donald W . Rennie, professor of physiology, and other faculty members.D THE BUFFALO M ED ICA L REV I EW �A new 1,800-bed, multi-million dollar Edward J. Meyer Memorial Hospital has been proposed to replace the present hospital. Mr. Gordon A. Friesen, an internationally recognized hospital consultant, proposed a three-phase program of construction to be completed in the early 1980' s. The first phase, to be completed by 1973, would be the construction of the hospital proper, with its acute-care and long-term beds . Phase II, to be completed by 1977, would include offices for physicians, extensive new research facilities, a dormitory and classrooms for student nurses. When this phase is completed all existing buildings at the present site would either be razed or removed. In phase III , to be completed in the early 1980 's, additional space for acute-care and longterm care beds would be added. W INTER, 1968 When the 1,800-bed, all-private-room complex is completed it will have such special features as a multi-phasic testing laboratory, facilities for organ transplants, multiple disability rehabilitation services, a detoxification unit for alcoholics, a Federally approved mental health center, major trauma center, and comprehensive computerization for both medical and financial data, as well as other statistical information. Dr . Friesen also recommended that the Erie County Home and Infirmary be phased out of us e as a patient care facility. Patients at this facility would be transferred to the new hospital. Dr. Harry W. Hale, Jr., president of the hospital's medical and dental staffs , pointed out that each year our out-patient and emergency services rise by about 15 per cent.

Moore , and Wilbur L. Smith, Jr. - were named to Alpha Omega Alpha, National Medical Honorary Society.D �Dr. Max Cheplove Issues Challenge THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION is suggesting something that the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education has been doing since 1954, according to Dr. Max Cheplove, M'26, APFME president. Dr. Dwight L. Wilbur, president of the AMA, said that he would like to hav e association members contribute $100 a year for medical college needs. The money could be given directly to the medical schools or to the AMA Education Research Foundation. Dr. Cheplove has issued a similar challenge to his 2,815 medical alumni as well as other practicing physicians in the Buffalo area. "If each would contribute $100 annually this would help significantly in our long-range goals of improving m edical education and community relations.'' In the last 14 years the alumni of the medical school and other practicing physicians have contributed nearly $1,000,000 through APFME. In the early years the APFME concentrated on recruiting and support of preclinical faculty. Today APFME is concentrating more in the area of community-medical school relationships, summer preceptorships, hospital libraries, continuing education and the overall improvement of medical education. WINTER, 1968 Dr. Wilbur said that " in the last 15 years phys icians of this nation have given almost $68 million to U.S. Medical Schools, directly or through AMA-ERF.'' There are several advantages in contributing to APFME: -The donor knows w here the money is going and what it is being used for; -The medical school does not have an unlimited source of finances to meet future expectation for health services ; -The donor ' s money stays in the community to educate future physicians; -Your medical school needs money from many sources (other than state] to expand its medical education facilities. D People President Martin Meyerson has appointed Dr. Hermann Rahn as a presidential faculty adviser on a part-time basis. He will work with the faculty senate, the vice president for academic development, and in matters of academic policy and curriculum. Dr. Rahn, chairman of the medical School's physiology department, is the only member of the University faculty who has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Dr. Rahn was also appointed to the Research Career Award Committee of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, National Institutes of Health. He also gave the annual Rovenstine Lecture of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. The title: ''The Evolution of Gas Transport Mechanisms from Fish to Man. "D 27 �Health Sciences Clinical Center for New Campus ·A T THE FALL CO NVOCATION for students and faculty, I tried to outline some of the factors which have created both the problems and the opportunities in medical education and the delivery of health services to the community . I also attempted to characterize this University, its medical school, its health sciences effort, in an attempt to frame what I consider our greatest opportunities and challenges. The first thing I want to do is to go back and rephrase a portion of that statement - to go on from that point and outline a set of proposals which will begin the constructive solution to many of these problems. You, who were present, will recall that I tried to stress the three major forces largely responsible for shaping the opportunities and the challenges before us - educational, scientific, and social factors. I will begin by reemphasizing the latter - the demand by a sophisticated and urban society for adequate, comprehensiv e health care. It is a consumer demand. The strength of this force has brought us to a point where communities and other constituencies are demanding that medicine respond by producing the manpower , the delivery systems, and the total capability for elevating the health of this nation, the world, and for all people, to the highest level we are capable of achieving. Address prese nted by D ean L eRoy A. Pesch to the M edical Sc hool faculty on N ovember 14, 1968. Medicine must respond. It will not however ignore its educational and scientific functions which must be preserved at all cost. But at this point in our history, it is clearly an intellectual exercise to argue that the Medical School and the University do not have a major responsibility to 28 the community in this task. The Univ ersity Medical Center, in its continuing ev olution, walks a n arrow line b etween providing the resourc es necessary for the solution to some of these problems and avoiding the risk of b ecoming inundated or swamped with the service commitments of that solution. The opportunity for this Medic al School to m eet this challenge is unique in many ways. Our University, with a great tradition which has dev eloped throughout the cours e of the hist orical events leading to this point , now stands on the t hreshold of a new and ex citing red evelopment and expansion of its purpos es, its goals , and its programs. We - the members of this University community - possess the opportunity for a major impact into the solution of these problems . Medicine can be a unifying force , welding together the resources of the University and the community into a model solution for society . As a profession and a philosophy, medicine offers hope for the future. It promises man a control ov er his destiny, and it has frequently and consistently provided a meeting-gr ound for man 's humanism, science, lessons from the past , and hope for the future. Standing out in bold relief against man 's lagging social conscience are some of the revolutions in the expression of medical science. We are scientifically in the midst of the age of genetic engineering. Just two days ago , the Supreme Court finally declared the last remaining statute forbidding teaching the theory of evolution in p ublic schools as unconstitutional. THE BUFFALO M ED ICAL RE V IEW �In practice, such revolutions have steadily widened the purview of medicine. From mere survival, medicine has grown to encompass a concern for life. From the treatment of symptoms, it has moved to consider the whole man. The inevitable result of these changes is to thrust the physician more and more into the midst of the social process whereby man determines his future. He is increasingly regarded as the externalization of social conscience, the one who must repeatedly voice warnings about the kind of life man is fashioning for himself and for the generations that will follow. Effective utilization of our opportunities will provide an opportunity to better the human condition . Failure to do so will doom it to chaos. The frustration and despair of our diseased core areas make it mandatory. Paraphrasing Bishop Matthew Simpson, (Walks About New York , 1859). "Medicine (like the Church of Christ) must grope her way into the alleys and courts and purlieus of the city, and up the broken staircase, and into the bare room, and beside the sufferer." It is in this dimension of medical consciousness that we must begin a vigorous development of the clinical system to amplify planning that has been completed and phase it into the next stage of architectural design. Not only for our immediate future is such clinical system development important, but it will become the mainstay of a vital and growing program in the health sciences. This development will express the nature of our educational, research, and clinical programs, together with its demands for faculty, facilities, and operational support. W INTER, 1968 I strongly believe that by building upon the strengths of our current programs, we can demonstrate real leadership in health system development. If the many commitments, which have and will continue to be made during the course of this development, are to fit into an effective pattern that is oriented in the desired direction, immediate action and decisive policy mandates must be made in several areas. Guidelines for the development of such policy mandates will insure an imaginative and innovative program. They will meet our needs as a faculty in research and education, and allow us to express a proper role of leadership in conceptualizing a health care delivery system for the University, the community, and Western New York. They are: 1. That the School of Medicine will fully support the development of a Program of Health Sciences at the State University of New York at Buffalo. That we will actively encourage the participation of other faculties to seek the solution to the moral, ethical, economic, and social problems facing the delivery of heath care through the development of interdisciplinary research and demonstration programs. 2. That existing and projected programs of the several schools, institutions, and departments, will be reexpressed as activities for functional design consideration. 3. That the present program will be reduced to a minimal set of activity modules - research, educational, administrative, clinical, and support for translation into an architectural building system for the entire Health Sciences complex. 4. That the clinical activities be divided into on-campus and off-campus activities on the basis 29 �of an inventory and assessment of existing programs and the potential for continuing and strengthening them in existing hospitals. 5. That our principal affiliated hospitals will be the major location for our clinical activities and clinical science development. This includes clerkship experience, internship and residency training, clinical science research activities, and resource support for on-campus clinical activities. This location and concentration of resources will allow for the development of demonstration programs in the delivery of health care to the core area. 6. That existing affiliation agreements and contracts will be reexamined and renegotiated to insure that proper responsibilities are assigned between the University, county, and community institutions . 7. That the present plan for a 350-bed University Teaching Hospital on the Amherst campus will be reexpressed as a set of clinical, educational, research, and service activities not presently available but necessary to achieve our goals in Health Sciences, as well as serve other faculties on the campus. 8. That the University will actively seek and deploy the resources necessary to assist affiliated community institutions in the development of activities located off-campus. 9. That the University will seek to develop with the community an efficient transportation and communication system which will tie the community institutions and the university together, thus avoiding the logistical problems of any geographic separation. 10. That the community immediately express their intent to join with the University in such a 30 partnership so that building system design and communication development w ill form a compatible system in the long-range goal for the development of a workable H ealth Delivery System. In this framework, the Health Sciences Program for Buffalo becomes a binodal resourc e system (with a s ystem for exchange of resources] to link the University (as a resource of education and research] with community resources for h ealth services and patient care. The educational and research activities, located on campus which require on-campus clinical facilities, can be defined and justified. These clinical facilities will become the components for a campus Health Sciences Clinical Center. A partial list of such on-campus clinical activities might be as follows: 1. An Ambulatory Care Center for the diagnosis and treatment of disease on an outpatient basis. Such a center would be supported by minimal and transition inpatient facilities. This facility would provide the following resources not now available or anticipated: a] An integrated Health Sciences Ambulatory Care Center bringing together health professionals with dental medicine; b) An Ambulatory Care Center for research in the delivery of health care; c) A facility to provide the delivery of highly sophisticated treatment methods developed through research efforts at the University , but not requiring complex inpatient care (chemotherapeutic agents for malignancy , the fitting and training procedures for prosthetic or rehabilitative devices , speech or skill retraining , oral surgical procedures]; THE BUFFALO M ED ICAL REVIEW �d) A facility for the maintenance of health and a preventive treatment center; e) Most problems requiring intensive inpatient care would be referred to inpatient services in existing affiliated hospitals; f) Such a facility would serve as a Student Health Center, provide comprehensive health care for the patient base now using the University Dental Clinics, and as a health care resource for faculty and staff. 2. Specialized inpatient-outpatient clinical research centers for the development and evaluation of new modes of treatment, including rehabilitation and nutritional studies. 3. Student Health Service Inpatient Facilities. 4 . Health Care Facilities Planning and Evaluation Program - a center of activity to bring together health professionals, engineers, management experts, economists, and designers to carry out research in the delivery of health care. 5. Alcoholism Institute. 6. Behavioral Science Study Center, bringing together sociologists, anthropologists, and health professionals in the study of ecological factors in disease. 7. The architectural development of the Health Sciences building system is in itself a major University contribution to the Health Care Delivery System. Such a system will be adaptable to the development of totally flexible health care facilities for use by the community. 8. Other activities will be defined over the next two months as the evaluation and inventory of existing resources continues and our oncampus needs are defined. WINTER, 1968 Health Sciences education is a combination of undergraduate and graduate study. In medicine we must constantly seek ways of bringing other University disciplines into the complex scientific, social, moral, ethical, and economic problems to be faced in providing optimal health care. We should begin to develop a collegiate environment in Health Sciences by establishing undergraduate colleges for students interested in health careers. Health professional education can no longer be divided into preclinical and clinical studies. The entire educational experience should be carried forward into a clinical environment, making it mandatory that, from the very beginning, clinical activities be a part of the experience. This set of guidelines and plan has the full support of our University administration. A bold concept, it is a challenge to the University and to the community. It will require major efforts by all of us to meet architectural and construction deadlines. Construction of the first elements will begin in early 1970. Our resources are adequate to achieve the total program. The key to the solution rests in the development of the building system design. I am confident that our architectural firm - Helmuth, Obata, and Kassabaum - has the creative and imaginative potential to develop this system. If we work together, we can achieve the potential of this school and this community. We can create a lasting tribute to the community and to our preceding generations who have made this opportunity in Buffalo possible.D 31 �Spring Clinical Days March 28-29 The first Continuing Medical Education program for 1969 will be an interdisciplinary approach to Community Mental Health. Dr. Duncan Whitehead will be in charge of this January 16 program. It will focus on the inter-related roles of the psychiatrist, psychologist, occupational therapist, and social worker in the field. The annual specialists program in GynecologyObstetrics, chaired by Dr. Paul Birtch, is set for March 26-27. Dr. Louis C. Cloutier, program chairman for the Alumni Spring Clinical Days, March 28-29, said there will be scientific sessions on antibiotics and bacterial infection, viral and fungal infection, problems in intersex, immunological aspects of organ transplants and surgical aspects of organ transplants . In addition, several members of the 40-year class will speak on their specialties. Among those who have agreed to speak are Dr. Victor L. Cohen, Dr. L. Maxwell Lockie, Dr. Frederick G. Stoesser and Dr. George W. Thorn. Rehabilitation of the Cardiac Patient has been re-scheduled for May 27-28. This symposium, chaired by Dr. Albert C. Rekate, is planned for professionals in medicine, nursing , physical therapy, occupational therapy, social work, rehabilitation counseling and nutrition. Also starting in January will be a series of 22 general medical lectures on the two-way telephone network of the Regional Medical Program of Western New York , according to Dr. Harry Alvis, associate dean. 0 32 50-Year Association with Meyer Hospital For at least one Buffalo physician the Meyer Memorial Hospital's new building program is something special. It was just 50 years ago that Dr. Stephen M. Graczyk, M '20, became associated with the hospital as a sophomore in the Medical School. He did his internship and residency at the Meyer, and was on the full-time staff before entering private practice . He continued to assist w ith the teaching program for nurses and senior medical students until last year. '' My early years at the Meyer gave me a basis for all that I have done since. I wouldn 't trade my experience there for anything in the world. ''Fifty years ago the hospital had only B and C buildings . They had been built for tub erculos is patients, and had sleeping porches in keeping with the current belief that tuberculosis patients should be outside in all sorts of weather.' ' Dr. Graczyk is past president of the Erie County Medical Society, the Erie County Unit of the American Cancer Society, the Catholic Physicians Guild , the Medical Arts Society, the Western New York Geriatrics Society and the University Medical Alumni Association. In 1962 , he was invested as a Knight of St. Gregory the Great, the highest possible honor for a lay Catholic. 0 TH E BUFFALO MEDICA L REV I EW �Research: Frustrations and Rewards "I Glenn Tisman WINTER, 1968 F YOU HAD INTERVIEWED me two days ago, I would have stated that my summer fellowship experience has been frustrating, just plain frustrating. But that was two days ago," said Glenn Tis man of the Class of 1969, " and everything has changed.'' Working under Dr. Albert F. LoBuglio at the Meyer Memorial Hospital, Glenn wanted to develop a new kind of folic acid test, " one that would give the Buffalo physician the opportunity to measure folic acid levels of his patients within a day. " Never before done in Buffalo , the folic acid assay had to be sent elsewhere , and days would pass before results were returned. " Glenn set up the first folic acid assay in Buffalo, " said Dr. Robert S . Cotsen. " He is furnishing a service to us in general medicine . Only large university centers or hospitals measure serum folic acid levels. Everyone in Buffalo sends theirs out. ''While the method Glenn employs - that of Victor Herbert - is a well accepted but laborious and time consuming procedure, the new technique he is dev eloping will enable every small hospital to do their own folic acid assays.'' 33 �Gle nn and Dr. LoBu g li o check the diameter ofbact eria growth on a prepared pore plate. The usual technique - a tube setup for bacteria growth dependent on folic acid, takes two days. " In my method ," stressed Glenn, "a pour plate , prepared with folic acid sensitive bacteria, agar and folate deficient growth media into which little wells are cut, is stored in the refrigerator. ' 'When a serum is to be tested, the plate is removed, ten micro liters of serum placed into the well, and the plate is put into an incubator overnight. As the folic acid activity of serum diffuses into the plate, bacteria grow. The next morning the diameter of the halo of growth around the well is proportional to the folic acid activity of the serum.'' ''It looks interesting and promising, and may well be utilized as a quick way in testing folic acid,'' Dr. LoBuglio said. As an undergraduate at Hofstra University, Glenn studied the drug methotrexate, an antimetabolite which inhibits folic acid. It is used to treat some patients with acute leukemia who later become resistant to its action. Using bacteria resistant to methotrexate but folate dependent, Glenn isolated an impurity in methotrexate-a pteridine-chemically related to methotrexate and able to inhibit the resistant bacteria from growing. He feels that if enough of this impurity could be isolated it might also work on " patients" resistant to the drug. Glenn has never had time for followup of this work but plans to do so in the future. Graduation, and a year in the Buffalo Medical School, preceded a summer working in clinical hematology with Dr. Ben Fisher at the Deaconess 34 Hospital. He also had an opportunity to work with Dr. James Holland at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute during part of his clinical training in medicine. " It seems as though the branch of medicine you are going into is determined by the type of person that you meet and who teaches you. My choice of hematology was greatly influenced by Drs. Fisher and Holland . . . both tremendous personalities .. . excellent clinicians, " Glenn said. " While working with Dr. Fisher I realized the importance of having folic acid values on hematology patients and we started the wheels turning to develop a routine assay for the Buffalo physician. No one did it!" Glenn checks a new teaching learning microscope - a unique program at the Meyer Hospital with D rs. L oBuglio, Cotsin and Resid ent Sam Armstrong. �One day a w eek in the clinic to learn general clinical hematology and to see patients with low levels of f olic acid. A new semester started before an assay procedure was worked out, and it was only while Glenn was on service in his junior year at the Meyer that he experimented with the idea of doing a quick, bioautographic method for folate levels . He contacted Dr. LoBuglio, and it was agreed"this would make an interesting summer fellowship.'' Three nights per week during the latter part of the junior year were necessary to iron out bugs of the standard Victor Herbert assay, the procedure now available at the Meyer and Buffalo General Hospitals. ''Most systemic diseases reflect themselves in the blood. . .a mirror of what is going on in many different disorders," Glenn continued. WINTER, 1968 These folic acid studies led him into something brand new-the binding of folic acid to serum proteins . Previous reports in the literature were controversial as to whether folic acid was bound to a transport protein. Elaborate experimentation by other authors failed to pin down a specific carrier protein. One day while just " fooling around the lab" he noticed that folic acid fluoresces under ultraviolet light. This fact enabled him to quickly show that by paper electrophoresis studies folic acid is transported in the body by A lbumin. It may be an important finding, valuable in interpretation of folic acid clearance studies, and in the development of Megaloblastic anemia in association with anti-epileptic drugs which also bind serum albumin. He is going to inv estigate along these lines. ''Glenn's summer fellowship, " concluded Dr. LoBuglio, ''is not geared along the lines of other fellowships. I give him the opportunity to do what he wants and we learn just as much from experiments that fail as we do from our successes. '' An ardent reader-a trait which Dr. Fisher instilled in him, Glenn recently read an article in The Lancet (a British medical journal) concerning Hyaline-Membrane Disease and Intravascular coagulation. From this came an idea about the possible role vitamin K might play in the disease. Withholding the vitamin from the premature infant in respiratory distress he feels may be helpful. The idea, accepted the publication in Th e Lancet, will soon appear. ''The frustrations of research may be rewarding, " he said. He smiled.D 35 Another aspect of his f ellow ship. Every Monday psychotherapy f or a paranoid psychophrenic, who he had established rapport with during previous psychiatric service. �Dr. Martinis received hisM.D.inMayandis interning at velt Hospital , New York City. Roos e ~ A Different Experience Th e Mayo Clinic ~ ------~ ......--:; A different kind of experience as well as exposure to a fantastic teaching program were highpoints of Ray Martinis' senior elective period spent at the Mayo Clinic. Five weeks in the department of neurology was followed by two weeks in pediatric neurology, concluding with a week in neuro-ophthalmology. A graduate school, the Mayo Clinic has only residents and draws its patients mostly by referral. Its international patient clientele is advance scheduled in either the clinic outpatient service (a building located in the downtown area] or in two privately-owned hospitals (Methodist- across from the clinic, or St. Mary's - about a mile away]. Both affiliated hospitals are entirely staffed by Mayo Clinic physicians. Residents divide their service into four quarters. Each quarter is spent in a different sub-specialty in his area of training, 36 with half of each quarter at the hospital and the remaining half in the clinic. Because of Mr. Martinis' limited time, he alternated between the hospital (mornings) - making rounds, seeing patients, going over the day's admissions - and the clinic (afternoons]. "The clinic is unique with a very adequate faculty to student ratio. You can always find someone who is not busy and can explain something to you,'' Mr. Martinis said. An advance list of scheduled admissions allowed sufficient time to study the disease prior to admission of the patient. On his initial five-week neurology service at St. Mary's, also present was an attending (a fulltime Mayo staff member], a senior neurosurgical resident, a senior neurology resident, and two Fellows from Internal Medicine who were rotating through neurology. "Every afternoon I would handle up to two to three consultations. In the morning I would present my case on rounds and report my findings. All five of us would then sit down at the conference table, present our findings on a particular patient, and the professor would pick out all of the items missed. A visit to the patient, a re-eliciting of the pertinent facts by the professor followed by a re-examination of the patient, a return to the conference table to rediscuss the case, presented an invaluable learning experience. ''The atmosphere at Mayo is just wonderful. The clinic physicians are all excellent, well trained, from good schools, and famous in their particular specialty. Everyone is interested in teaching. PriTHE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �vate donations,. government subsidies, and clinic profits add up to Mayo's substantial financial resources," Mr. Martinis said. Interested in neurosurgery, Ray decided that at this stage in his training neurology would be most beneficial. Dr. Harold Brody, professor of .anatomy, helped him in his selection of Mayo for this type of training. ''The opportunity of getting all sorts of philosophies of medicine prior to forming my own opinion was offered to me. Medical research is dependent upon obtaining a long series of a large sample of cases treated in a specific manner. Mayo is unique in that a large number of cases of rare diseases can be subjected to its own specific treatment and still allow a sufficient number as a 'control'. IBM computer files the information and a statistical analysis department also assists in the information retrieval system at Mayo. "The medical program is structured so that the entire impetus of learning is up to you. You can do as little or as much as you like. A lecture series, with each specialty offering daily lectures, demonstrations, a museum of medical history featuring models of various diseases, exhibits, and x-rays are available. With repetition and experience, one just can't help but learn. While on the neuro-ophthalmology service for a week, I looked at 100 different pairs of eyes, each presenting an interesting diesase. Everyone has been filtered from the general population and the interesting cases all come here. ''If students are interested in getting a different kind of experience and being exposed to a fantastic teaching program, they will find a clinical fellowship at Mayo very rewarding,'' concluded Martinis. W INTER, 1968 A neurological institute will be created at Millard Fillmore Hospital with a grant of $750,000 from the Harry M. Dent Family Foundations, Incorporated. The institute will be a physically separate unit. Research space will b e located on the first floor of the hospital's adjacent Research Institute. Millard Fillmore is one of five affiliated hospitals. Dr. William R. Kinkel , a 1954 graduate of the School of Medicine , w ill be the director of the institute. He is a graduate of Harvard University , and is a clinical instructor and lecturer in neuroanatomy in the Medical School. H e was certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in 1960 and is a past president of the Buffalo Neuropsychiatric Society . The institute will have three div isions -stereotactic surgery, neurochemistry, and thermography. The institute will bring under one roof neurological procedures and research formerly carried out under Dent Foundation grants at Millard Fillmore, M eyer Memorial, and Roswell Park Memorial Inst itute. Millard Fillmore 's Harry M. Dent Clinic, organized in 1963 to ev aluate, treat , and pursue research in Parkinson's Dis ease and other movem ent dis orders , will be an int egral part of the new institute. The plans call for the renovation of the first floor of the hospital 's East Wing at a cost of approx imately $330,000. The foundation will pay $250 ,000 of this, and will contribute $100,000 a year for each of fiv e years towards operation of the institute. The plans are subject t o t h e approv al of the State H ealth Department. The institute is expected to be completed sometime in 1970.0 37 Neurology Institute P lanned at Millard Fillmore Hospital �University Residency Programs THE Dr. Paine This article wa s writt en by John R. Paine, M.D. , pro f essor and head of the d epartment of surgery. DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY RESIDENCIES is one of the significant changes that has occurred within the School of Medicine during the past three years. Beginning with the residency program in Gynecology and Obstetrics, other programs in four Surgical Specialties and Anesthesia have been developed and accepted by the School of Medicine prior to the 1967-68 academic year . In the spring of 1968 a plan for General Surgery was accepted by the School of Medicine and approved by the national accrediting bodies. Traditionally, intern and residency training has been the sole concern of the hospital with direction and regulation coming from national medical organizations . In recent years, with the increase in the number of University Hospitals which are run and controlled by the Schools of Medicine, there has been an increasing trend for all Schools of Medicine to take an increasing interest in the post graduate education of its students, manifested in an increasing concern with the internship and residency training programs of the '' teaching hospitals." In most institutions the University Hospital serves as a base for the various post graduate programs and have been able in most instances to give a certain degr ee of prestige to the various programs concerned , which may or may not have been pres ent when such programs were the sole concern of the hospital. Of prime consideration in this situation has been the increased emphasis the Schools of Medicine have placed on the educational aspects of these training pro38 grams rather than the service aspects, although the latter are both necessary and important. In the local situation here in Buffalo it has been found that relatively small University Residency programs involving a minimal number of teaching hospitals have been relatively easy to fit into a University setting, anticipating the developm ent of the H ealth Scienc es Clinical Cent er at th e n ew campus. In General Surgery, how ev er , with the large number of residents and hospitals involved , tog eth er with the inescapable heavy service commitments to be assumed, the problem has been much more difficult. Prior to 1968 there were four independent surgical residency training programs operating in the four principal teaching hospitals of the Medical School. Approximately 50 young surgeons were enrolled in these programs for up to five years of training. To incorporate all these facilities and personnel into one program seemed to be inadvisable and impractical, if not impossible. Alternatively it was decided that two University sponsored programs based respectively at the Buffalo General Hospital (Program I) and at the Meyer Memorial Hospital (Program II) would be set up. The previous program at the Veterans Administration Hospital would be abandoned as an independent entity, with resident responsibility for half of that Surgical Service being incorporated into Program I and half into Program II. The two year residency program for special training in Pediatric Surgery at the Children ' s Hospital would continue but would THE BUFFA LO M EDI CA L RE V IEW �receive residents in rotation from both Programs I and II as requested for training in this special field. These changes have now been effected. Program I involves 16 residents who spend approximately one year at the Veterans Administration Hospital and three years at the Buffalo General Hospital with thre e month periods of rotation at the Children's Hospital and at the Meyer Memorial Hospital. Program II involves 20 residents for four or five years of training, of which about one year is spent at the Veterans Administration Hospital. Three or four additional men are accepted by each program for one or two years of training b efore they proceed into one of the smaller surgical specialty programs. The program in Pediatric Surgery at the Children's Hospital, in addition to providing training for men in Program I at present and possibly also for men in Program II in the future , provides two years of specialized training for its own appointees, which number one per year. This entire scheme has been accepted by the School of Medicine as the University Residency Training Program in Surgery and has also received the approval of the national accrediting bodies, although it will not be fully operative until July 1969. With the completion of the H ealth Sciences Clinical Center, inevitably certain changes w ill have to b e made in the overall plan, but it would be futile to attempt to project any such changes at present.D WINTER, 1968 In t erdisciplinary A pproach D r. Lanphier observes physical endurance tests. In teaching, the department of physiology has an an enviable reputation among students in both the m edical and graduate schools. This dedication also extends to cover an interdisciplinary approach. Over an eight- da y period, three levels ofstudentshigh school, undergraduate and graduate physical education majors - participated in a study by William Zimmerle, a physical education doctoral candidate, to analyze two selected measures of cardiovascular endurance. Eighth graders - 11 5 in all - from the Williamsville Mill Midd le School met in Physiology Lab. I and, while running for six minutes on a treadmill, they w ere tested and retested by fi ve physical education majors for continuous gas readings and telemetered heart rate. Dr. Edward H. Lanphier, associate professor of "physiology, and a member of Mr. Z immerle's thesis committee, arranged for use of the facilities and equipment. 0 39 �Dr. Jobn C. Dower N amed Professor of Community P ediatrics Dr. Dower The first to occupy the Goodyear Chair at the University is Dr. John C. Dower. He joined the School of Medicine and the Children's Hospital as professor of community pediatrics during the summer. An endowment, established by A. Conger Goodyear in 1965, designated the Chair for a ' 'professor of pediatrics in charge of a program of maternal and child health or for a professorship in a related field. ' ' George F. Goodyear and Mary Goodyear Kenefick, brother and sister of the grantor, are its trustees. The community pediatrics program , under Dr. Dower, will be a " first " for Buffalo. " Like any other large city," he said, "Buffalo has a substantial number of its children who are not receiving the high quality of health care which the community is capable of delivering. The obstacles to appropriate utilization of these resources are enormous. The medical profession needs the cooperation of other disciplines such as the social and political sciences, and eventually, the practicing politician, in order to achieve the goal of providing all children with optimum health service .' ' Charged with all University community pediatrics teaching and ambulatory services , the 44-yearold physician feels that the program must start with the training of the medical student. ''The educational emphasis, " he said, " should be on the patient as he exists in his community rather than on the disease he happens to have . ''W e must utilize the talents of practicing physicians in a more meaningful w ay in the 40 training of medical students and resident physicians in the hospital setting. Greater utilization of the practicing physician in the education of doctors implies that the Medical School ha'S an obligation to become inv olved with their continuing medical education as w ell. When these problems are engaged w e w ill be in a better position to become more involv ed with the health problems of the greater Buffalo community. ' ' In New Hav en, Connecticut , where he w as clinical assistant professor of pediatrics at Yale University School of Medicine , chairman of the department of pediatrics at the Hospital of St. Raphael, and chairman of its gov erning committee , Dr . Dower w as also actively involved in corearea projects. He has serv ed on the staffs of Seton Hall College of M edicine , New ark, New Jersey (professor of clinical pediatrics]; Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, (assistant in pediatrics]; The May o Clinic (consulting physician in pediatrics) ; and Babies H ospital of Newark, New Jersey (director of medical education] . Two y ears in the U .S. Marin es preceded his undergraduate (1950) and medical education (1954) at Johns Hopkins University. His training in pediatrics included an internship and r esidency at the Boston Childr en's Hospital ; a residency at Babies Hospital , Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center; followed b y a year in private practice . D TH E BUFFA LO M ED ICAL REV I EW �There is an association between air pollution and stomach cancer. That is what Dr. Warren Winkelstein, Jr., former professor of social and preventive medicine, told an AMA research conference on air pollution. He joined the University of California [Berkeley) faculty in September. Cancer Linl~ed to Air Pollution On the basis of a three-year study conducted while at the School of Medicine, Dr. Winkelstein reported that the death rate from cancer of the stomach is almost twice as high in areas with large amounts of air-borne dust than in neighborhoods with cleaner air. This is consistent with the fact that deaths from stomach cancer have been declining in recent years as air pollution controls have succeeded in lowering the amount of industrial dusts in the air. The researcher pointed out that particulate air pollution remains high in certain areas and that ''gastric cancer continues to rank among the first four causes of death from cancer in American men." Two other studies, conducted independently of Dr. Winkelstein's, have come up with similar indications of airborne agents capable of producing stomach cancer. Organic fuels such as soft coal are often mentioned as the most likely sources. Dr. Winkelstein's survey did not , however, show an association between airborne dust particles and lung cancer. But it did show some relationship to other respiratory diseases. Statistically the researcher reported: -in areas with the highest amount of dust suspended in the air, the stomach cancer death rate for men and women in their 50s and 60s was 31 per 100,000 population; -in the areas with the least dust in the air, the comparable death rate was 16 per 100,000.0 A program in community psychiatry will be headed by Dr. Jack Zusman who joined the School of Medicine faculty and Meyer Memorial Hospital this summer. He is an associate professor in the departments of psychiatry and preventive medicine. " Traditionally , the psychiatrist only worked in his office and saw patients who came to him,'' Dr . Zusman said. " But, we must get psychiatry out of the hospital and into the public health and nursing stations, courts, and storefront core area clinics.'' The 34-year-old psychiatrist comes to Buffalo from the National Institute of Mental Health, Chevy Chase, Maryland, where he headed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies for the past year and a half. He has also served as a consultant in a halfway house for mental patients [The Woodley House in Washington, D.C .); a public clinic for alcoholic and drug addicts [Montgomery County of Maryland Health Department); and in a rural clinic far removed from public medical and mental health services [The Mental Health Center, Silver Springs, Maryland). A master's in experimental psychology at Indiana University in 1956 preceded the medical degree in 1960 from Albert Einstein College of Medicine , New York City. In 1966 Dr. Zusman received an MPH in community psychiatry at Columbia University School of Public Health and Administrative Medicine . Internship with the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital in New Orleans was followed by epidemic intelligence service at the Atlanta Communicable Disease Center. Residency at the State Psychiatric Institute in New York City covered four years of training in psychiatry, community psychiatry, epidemiology of mental illness and public health.D Dr. Jacl< Z us man Heads Community Psychiatry Progran'l D r. Z usman �Partnership in Community Service A ''partnership'' between the School of Medicine and the Underwater Division of the Erie County Sheriff's Department has provided a unique safety program for sport and scuba divers. The Divers Registration Program, started in July 1961, today numbers over 1,000 diver registrants and has attracted nationwide attention. The partnership is perhaps responsible for the lack of news in the local press regarding diver fatalities; it has also made Erie County one of the few inland areas where both facilities and treatment of water accidents requiring compression ar e available. Dr. Edward H. Lanphier, associate professor of physiology - a former Navy submarine, diving medical officer, with an international reputation in diving research - joined Erie County Sheriff Deputies Don Chamberlin and Ralph Beehler in 1961 to plan and organize a comprehensive program to aid divers suffering from decompression sickness (bends) or air embolism. Prompt and proper treatment for divers is the key to prevention of permanent injury or death. Today, a trained t eam of medical personnel is on call 24 hours a day, and the r ecompression cha mb er - there ar e three: Veterans and Millard Fillmore Hospitals, Department of Physiology is always kept ready for treatment. Each registered diver must wear an ID tag around his neck during a dive and for 24 hours following the ascent. In the event he is found unconscious, the Sheriff' s office - telephone numW INTER, 1968 ber listed on tag - is called, the diver 's card checked, and an escort service provided to the Veterans Hospital where he is checked by members of the trained team of medical personnel. Prevention is also part of the program. A booklet, "Ten Commandments for Safe Diving," is furnished to registrants, and was written by Dr. Lanphier, who is a member of the editorial board, The N ew Science of Skin and Scuba Diving (third revised edition , 1968), published by the Council for National Cooperation in Aquatics.D A token of appreciation by the Erie County Sheriffs Underwater Division. Th is framed copy of its patch is presented to Dr. Lanphier b y Deputy Chamberlin. �THE CONCEPT OF FAMILY PLANNING is relatively new to the Filipinos." That is what Dr. Joseph J. Ricotta said after returning recently from a four-week assignment in the Philippines, where he helped establish family planning centers at the request of that government. Dr. Ricotta, a 1943 School of Medicine graduate, is founder and director of the Buffalo Family Life Clinic . Filipino Family Planning "The Philippines had asked the United States through the Association for International Development, to send them a medical adviser on family planning. I was called to Washington and asked if I would assist.'' In the family planning seminars set up by Dr. Ricotta part of the time was spent discussing the idea that the most important thing for parents is not the number of their children, but being able to take care of them and educate them. ''Warmth and hospitality greeted us everywhere. And the people were eager to learn how our Buffalo clinic operates, what our techniques and attitudes are," Dr. Ricotta said. Mrs. Ricotta, a guidance counselor, worked with her husband in the towns and villages. Among the Filipinos who opened their home to the Buffalonians were Celso and Crisanta Villanueva, a husband and wife team of doctors who had trained at Deaconess Hospital several years ago . Mrs. Ricotta has fond memories of the Filipino women. She has a great deal of status. Her life is centered around her family. She is a competent shopper and homemaker, is well educated, interested in the arts, and, like her American counter WINTER, 1968 part, wants a good education and a good life for her children. The Ricotta's 11-year-old son, Paul, was a student at the Campus School. The family is looking forward to a return visit in 1969. Dr. Ricotta has been asked to make a follow-up tour of the clinics that he helped establish.D A crisis service is enabling physicians at Meyer Memorial Hospital to handle an increasing number of psychiatric patients without actually admitting them to the hospital. " The percentage of patients handled without admission has increased from 9 per cent in 1963 to 48 per cent in 1967." That is what Dr. Laurence T. Beahan, M'55, chief of the hospital's psychiatric admission service said. He is also an assistant clinical professor in psychiatry at the School of Medicine. In 1963, 311 patients were given temporary aid and discharged and 2,995 admitted. In 1967, 1,952 were sent home after temporary aid and only 2 ,124 admitted. The crisis service, which operates from 9 to 5 seven days a week , will eventually be expanded to 24-hour coverage, Dr. Beahan said. It is called EMPATH- for Emergency Psychiatric Admission Therapeutics. The service has two full-time psychiatrists, one part-time psychiatrist, one full-time and one part-time psychiatric residents, a half-time occupational therapist, a fourth-time pastoral counselor, a psychiatric social worker, nurses and attendants. A volunteer works one evening a week from 7:30 to 11:30.0 43 Meyer Crisis Service �$7.5 Million Expansion for Deaconess Hospital Deaconess Hospital has a $7.5 million expansion plan in the blueprint stage. The plans call for: -Construction of a five-story building on Kingsley street. The building, which would connect with existing structures, would have emergency, outpatient and special clinic facilities, laboratories, and the W ettla uf er Eye Clinic on the ground floor. The first floor would be allocated to surgery, recovery, intensive, and coronary care units; the second to a new obstetrical suite, nurseries and postpartum care, bringing all obstetrical facilities onto one floor; the third to a new medicalsurgical nursing unit; the fourth to a 60-bed extended care unit. -Construction of a unit for physicians ' offices and living quarters for student nurses and house staff. -The plan will expand the hospital 's present capacity from 428 beds to 538. The ground floor of the existing buildings will be remodeled to provide extended central storage, central services and record storage; relocate and expand clinical departments of inhalation therapy, physical therapy and pharmacy. -Demolition of the hospital's 1898 building, being used as a nurses ' residence, and the south end of the 1945 building.D 44 African Safari ''There are a great many diseases in Africa that make it a 'great pathological laboratory' for medical researchers.'' That is what Dr. Boris Golden, a 1940 School of Medicine graduate, said after returning from Africa. He and Mrs. Golden and a group of 120 other physicians and their wives flew to Dakar where they visited the Pasteur Institute. They also visited Johannesburg and conducted a medical clinic at Samburu. This was in the bush and natives came from miles to visit the clinic. They also attended medical lectures and symposiums at various places, but there was some time for sightseeing. At the Serengeti National Park the Goldens were impressed by the natural beauty and the awe-inspiring sight of thousands and thousands of animals roaming the plains. ''There were no billboards, no beer cans, just natural, unspoiled, beauty," Dr. Golden said. The Niagara Falls physician pointed out that there is a high incidence of cancer of the esophagus in South Africa, but no one knows why. Another big problem is a disease in which tiny parasites which come from snails in water, invade humans and eat away at internal tissues such as the spleen. There is no known cure, but researchers are working on both of these medical problems.D THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �A former microbiologist at the School of Medicine is the new director of the division of immunology at Millard Fillmore Hospital Research Institute.

Pesch, who comes to Buffalo from the Stanford University School of Medicine w here he has been professor of medicine and associate dean since 1966. He assumed his new duties July 1. At Stanford the 37-year-old physician headed the admissions and curriculum committees. Dr. Pesch's curriculum committee made further changes in the Stanford Plan for Medical Education adopted in 1959. This revised curriculum (effective in September) offers each student more elective opportunities. It will also allow students to develop a study plan in accord with their abilities, background , experienc e , and personal car eer inter est. In commenting on the appointment of Dr. Pesch, Dr. Douglas M . Surgenor, provost of the Faculty of Health Sciences said: " W e have an outstanding young leader of medical education. His background and training in three of the finest medical schools in th e country and his associations in the development of a n ew m edical sch ool in New Jersey affo rd him a unique experience fo r our challenge for growth and change in the Medical School as well as maintaining a high quality in the education of our physicians today.

D TH E BUFFA LO MEDICAL REV I EW �U niversity I--Iospi tal The Health Planning Council of Western New York tentatively approved preliminary plans for the construction of a 350-bed teaching hospital. The new facility will be on the Amherst Campus. A total of 100 beds each will be assigned to the major departments of medicine and surgery, with 10 to 20 beds assigned to each of the other services. There will be 14 operating rooms, intensive care units and clinical research centers . The plans call for an ambulance service and a helicopter port. There will be a large outpatient division of 46,700 square feet and an emergency service of 10,640 square feet. Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, provost of the Faculty of Health Sciences emphasized that the new hospital will not meet all clinical teaching and patient needs . The University will continue to maintain strong and active educational programs in the community hospitals. ''The University hopes to bring more and more area hospitals into its teaching program,'' he said. "We will have to develop n ew programs. Our new hospital will not duplicate programs such as open-heart surgery already being done with great skill in other hospitals. The responsibilities of the affiliated hospitals will be increased . We will have to rely on community hospitals for additional laboratory operations as well as clinical experiences for students." The University's consultants estimate the cost of construction at $32,964,124 or about $50 per square foot for 642,500 square feet of space. Dr. Surgenor said we are on schedule with our planning.O FALL, 1968 Dr. Robert T . McCluskey has been appointed professor and chairman of the department of pathology in the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry at the University. His appointment was effective August 1. New Patl1.ol ogy D eparhnent I-lead Dr. McCluskey comes to Buffalo from the New York University School of Medicine where he has been since 1950. He has been an assistant and an instructor in pathology. Since 1962 he has been professor, attending pathologist , and director of laboratories at the University Hospital. The new pathology chairman received his bachelor's degree from Yale University in 1944 and his M.D. from the New York University School of Medicine in 1947. Dr. McCluskey interned at Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn , where he was later an assistant resident in pathology. He has also been a resident in pathology at Bellevue Hospital, and a consultant at Manhattan Veterans Administration Hospital, both in New York City. Dr. McCluskey served as first lieutenant and captain in the United States Army Medical Corps in 1953-55. He is a member of several professional organizations and has written extensively in his field. Dr. Floyd Skelton resigned as department chairman several months ago to devote full time to teaching and research.O 3 Dr. McC luskey �Better Health Care Dr. Surgenor stresses teaching, research. hopes to take the lead in delivering better health care to patients when the new proposed 350-bed University Hospital is completed. But this can only come about by complete cooperation with all the hospitals and physicians in th e area." This is what Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, provost of the Health Sciences Faculty, said at the annual meeting of Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education. ,, T HE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE "We will continue to stress teaching and research in our n ew hospital,'' Dr. Surgenor said. The provost said h e hoped the n ew University Hospital would be r eady for occupancy by late 1973 on the new Amherst campus. Today we are on schedule with our planning. H e emphasized, however, th at you just don't open a hospital one day and have it running smoothly the n ext day. 4 By 1978 we hop e it will be running well. " Not all the policy decisio ns about the new hospital hav e been settled. There is still m uch consulting and planning to do with physicians in the area . This new facility certainly must be compatible w ith the other teaching hospitals. There may be areas of friction , but we hope to keep them to a minimum. "We hop e by continuing coo peration on a co mmunity-wide effort to overcome (in part) the severe shortage of physicians, and to make the h ealth team a reality . '' There are great pressures on medical schools to expand and turn out more physicians. The financial support that we get in the future from The revised constitution and by-laws of APFME received a 94 per cent mail approval by its membership. Dr. Max Cheplove accepts the APFME presidency. �the government and other agencies depends on how much and how fast we can expand the School of Medicine. "We must turn the research efforts of the medical school in a new direction. We need new machinery to deliver knowledge to the physician at the patient's bedside," Dr. Surgenor said. Across the nation there are three new trends in medical schools-expand the output; have a new curriculum; and give better medical care to patients. ' 'I assure you - your medical school is working towards these very important go als. ''While the present curriculum is suited to train small numb ers of physicians in skill and competence, it does not enable the school to train enough physicians to meet the people ' s demands," the Provost said. The new flexibl e curriculum will be divided into three phases. Phase I will b e centered in the basic science departments on campus; phase II would be a combination university-hospital year; and phase III will be concentrated in the university hospital and affiliated hospitals. This flexible curriculum will give the student the opportunity to explore some subjects in depth at an unhurried pace and to tailor his m edical training appropriately as h e begins to see the direction of his career in medicine . The new curriculum will also introduce students to patients in their freshman year. This will give them a chance to put the basic knowledge to work in diagnosis and treatment. FALL, 1968 "Even with our new hospital we will need more clerkships and affiliation - not only with our fiv e affiliated hospitals, but with other h ospitals in the community." Dr. Surgenor also told the physicians that today's health care problems are so complex that we must bring in other areas-engineering, computer, social science , behavorial science , and h ealth related professions to help. We mus t be geared to the rapidly accelerating pace of b oth scientific and social advances in health care. Following Dr. Surgenor' s talk there was a panel discussion-Drs. Kenneth E. Eckhert , M' 35; Pasquale A. Greco, M '41; John M . Bozer; and Salvatore R . LaTona . Dr. John M . Donahue , M'43 , presided at the me eting.D The informal brunch was well attended. �Equal Opportunity Programs President Martin Meyerson announc ed a series of programs aimed to make the University "nationally known as a place where non-w hit e teachers and scholars study and teach b ecause members of the University want and need them . ' ' The new program will be operated by a committee and the Office of Equal Opportunity. Dr. James A . Moss, professor of sociology, will be the chairman of the Equal Opportunity Committee, and former School of Education Dean Rob ert S. Fisk will head the committee office . ' ' Universities - no less than other institutionshave for too long permitted an intolerable waste of human resources that must now be checked through massive co-operative efforts in w hich the University will play a major part ," Mr. M ey erson said. At the University two per cent of the students are non-white and about five per cent of the faculty and employees are non-white. Only about half of the latter are Negro es . However , the nonwhite population of m etropolitan Buffalo is about eight p er cent. ' 'Even more important than an incr ease in our commitment to numbers, there must be fundamental changes in our attitudes and approaches. Instead of attempting to study and educate the disadvantaged as w e have t ended to do , we must work t ogether with th em, ' ' the President said. H e went on to list " five major areas of concern '' as: (1) increasing the proportion of non-white and Spanish-speaking students at the University ; · (2) reviewing employment practices and finding ways of '' training, hiring, and upgrading non6 white workers at all levels of our employment roster;'' (3) increasing the numb er of no n-w hite memb ers on the University faculty; ( 4) dev eloping "other channels " through w hich the University can b etter serve the needs of the Negro community ; ( 5) bringing the influenc e of the University ' 'to b ear upon the attitudes and the fe ars of a whit e community which is just b eginning to sense th e urgency and the importance of achieving understanding with our non-white brothers." Dr. M oss ' committee is working on th e fo llowing programs and proposals : (1) summer jobs for 50 teen-agers from min ority groups ; (2) an increase in the numb er of minoritygroup students enrolled in special programs; (3) fift een teachers from Inn er City are as in New York and other states spend th e 1968-69 ac ad emic year in summer session as sp ecial graduate fellows in law; ( 4) the busin ess administration fac ulty will start a program to advise small businessmen in the Inner City ; ( 5) the organization of " topical courses " has begun to be taught in late afternoon and early evening by undergra duate and gr aduate students on and off campus for anyone interes ted; (6) a branch studio of the Univer sity radio station, WBFO , will b e located in th e Negro c ommunity ; (7) faculty memb ers and students wishing to work with minority gr oup s in community actiTH E BUFFA LO MED ICAL REV IEW �vities will be encouraged; [8) the University will continue to increase its involvement in these programs- Model City, the Storefront Education Information Centers in Buffalo and Niagara Falls, Community Aid Core, Secretarial Training, Upward Bound, and Computer Education. Dr, Moss said the committee is not meant to ''stop ghetto riots but will be used to make the University a sustaining, supporting part of the community. We can not expect the committee to accomplish any miracles. " D Th e foll owin g is th e text of Preside nt M artin M e yerson's remark s at th e Univ ersity m emorial servi ce for Dr. Martin Lu ther King , he ld April 8: This is a time of mourning and of grief. . . . But this must not be a time for retrospection alone. This must be a time for renewed dedication and commitment. Martin Luther King at the time of his death was about to embark on a poor man's crusade to amplify for all of us the anguish of the poor-black and white alike. A quarter of a century ago Gunnar Myrdal had been trying to tell us that the problem of race was a problem in the hearts and minds of Americans which could easily divide the nation . Martin Luther King in his actions, and symbolically through his death, has shown that the problems of the poor, regardless of skin color-although so many who are poor are black-must pervade the hearts and minds of all Americans. But University communities, like other communities, have been mindless of the warnings of the prophets among us-and he was among us within recent months . When the Rev. Martin LuFALL, 1968 ther King was last in Buffalo, he pointed out that the past efforts to extend civil rights in the United States were ones that required change in law and in some behavior, but were not very costly of time or other resources. Now , as attention must shift to economic and educational equality, the need grows for a commitment of time and of r esources which requires a sacrifice from the prosperous and from the white . As a University community, there are some things we can do to remedy the economic problems of the poor, and of the N egro poor in particular, and we must do them. Howev er, our best and most pervasive effort can be educational. To this end, I shall us e what moral influence I have to encourage the teachers, the students and the staff of our University community to commit a few hours of themselves each w eek to giv e what we have the most of-that knowledge and education which has been the traditional door to opportunity in America. I call on us all to us e these next few weeks to develop those m eans by which our dedication to a living memo\:ial to Martin Luther King can be made most effective. Whatever we do, w e shall do not alone but with the fullest involvement of the larger communities in Western New York. Our efforts by themselves will not solve the great problems we face. We must use our energies as well through every other means . I will welcome suggestions from any of you in the next few weeks . Let us all reflect tomorrow on what this tragic loss means to the country and to each of us as people who must now assume individually the enormous burden of improving our countryan enormous burden which Dr. King carried so much and for so long on his own shoulders.D 7 President Meyerson Urges Dr. King Memorial �Continuing Medical Education The fall 1968 program in continuing medical education-the forty-eighth annual - promises to be especially varied and stimulating, according to Dr. Harry Alvis, associate dean for continuing Medical Education. The season will start on September 14 with the program Newer Concepts in the Understanding and Management of Shock, planned by Dr. John R. Border as an intensive review of the latest thinking on the various facets of shock. On September 19, 20 and 21, a program on The Use of Computers in Clinical Medicine will be chaired by Elemer R. Gabrieli, director of the Clinical Information Center at E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. The program will have two related purposes - to review the current use of computers in medical practice and to plan for the future . In the two-day review, speakers will discuss, in non-technical language, their current use of computers in medical practice focusing on equipment and methods now available. On October 4 and 5 a detailed consideration of Clinical Sepsis will be presented by a panel of speakers who have given these matters their personal concern. Dr. Border has organized this unusual but important program. This fall's program on Trends in Internal Medicine, planned by Dr. Martin Plaut, October 7 and 8, will immediately precede the regional meeting of the American College of Physicians, October 9. Major subjects of the Trends pr ogram will include septic and cardiogenic shock, gastrointestinal malabsorption and endocrine effects of nonendocrine tumors. Last y ear's overwhelming response to the program on Pulmonary Emphysema prompted a similar definitive presentation to be given October 10, 11 and 12 , this year under the chairmanship of Dr. Jerome J. Maurizi. A program Obstetrics and Gynecology for the Family Physician, presented for the first time last year, will be repeated October 15 and 16 with a different orientation. It will again be under the chairmanship of Dr. Norman Courey. The Price of Medical Progress, October 24, sponsored by the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, with Dr. Edward F. Marra, Department Chairman, presiding, will be addressed to problems created by utilization of some of the newest drugs , skills and techniques. Dr. Albert Rekate and members of his planning committee have organized the program Rehabilitation of the Cardiac Patient, November 7 and 8, as a multidisciplinary approach for professionals from the fields of medicine, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, social work, rehabilitation counseling and nutrition. Two programs, both chaired by Dr. Duncan Whiteh ead, will be presented by the Department of Psychiatry: Contemporary Therapy for Psychiatrists on November 9; and Emotions and Illness, December 6 and 7. The first program, directed to psychiatrists, will feature two sessions each of which is planned to cover on e topic in depth. Subjects chosen for this fall are Adolescence and Family Therapy. The second program, planned for physicians not trained as psychiatrists, will provide an opportunity to become acquainted with psychiatric methods which can b e applied in the office treatment of the emotional and mental problems of patients.D THE BUFFALO M EDICAL REVI EW �The Shape and Future of Medical Practice by Thomas McKeown, M.D. The task of talking to a medical audience is always comparatively simple because they are all identified by common interests in certain problems . For my own part, I find relatively little difference in discussing certain problems such as the type I am going to talk about now to first year students or the Royal College physicians of London. We are all in the same boat, and must somehow work it out. I think part of our difficulty is that most of us come into the field of medicine, already fixed in a definite framework from which we find it difficult to break away. Our impulse is to accept the organization before us, which has been there in the past and is likely to be there in the future. The thing human beings don't do very well is-to sit back and Dr. McKeown was " visiting professor" at the School of Medicine this year. The professor of social medicine at the University of Birmingham, England visited informally with students, faculty and hospital personnel during his five days in Buffalo. He also gave six formal presentations at local hospitals, the annual Niagara Falls Conference, and at the Student Medical Convocation. This is a recorded summary of his talk at the Student Convocation. Dr. McKeown is a National Research Council Scholar and Dem onstrator in Biochemistry at McGill; a Rhodes Scholar; and a Poulton Research Scholar and Demonstrator in Physiology at Guy 's Hospital , England. He is a m ember of the Minister of Health 's Standing Advisory Com mittee and f ormer editor of the British journal of Preventive and Social Medicine. FAll, 1968 9 �reflect, to examine what they are doing and to ask themselves-"couldn't it be done better?" I want to briefly reflect on this question of organization of medical practice and its possible future. As always, I find it extremely helpful to look back as well as to look forward. I do not see how one can do the second without having done the first. I think one must realize that the strength of medical practice as we know it today is a very rec ent thing and of great value from one country to another. These difficulties do not reflect sharp differences of language or political differences, but they are profound differ~nces in the organization of medical practice in different countries w ith roughly comparable assumptions about politics, social organization, etc. It seems therefore essential that we should come to some kind of conclusion r egarding balance of advantages with respect to the different parts of practice in the modern world. Looking back, I think it may be useful to remember that the doctor's origins are by no means highly respectable. Practitioners and distinguished consultants do not go back very far. The doctor's origins are in three classes - the physician, the surgeon, and the tradesman. These three vary enormously in training, prestige, income, and in work. The physician is essentially a professional man. Almost from the beginning, his associations were with the church. In Britain and elsewhere , in earlier centuries , he practiced within a very limited clientele and was mainly concerned with services to the rich. In the 16th and 17th cen10 turies, he would sit in a coffee house waiting for people to report the symptoms to him. From that comfortable position he would prescribe. The second class of work!=)r, the surgeon, was not a professional man at all. He was a craftsman and his associations were w ith the barter. It was only during the era of Henry VIII that the company of barter surgeons w as founded and considerably later that the association was disbanded. A surgeon was hardly respectable until about the 18th and 19th centuries. H e did all sorts of discreditable things such as obstetrics which was a guarded office for a gentleman. The third of the three classes , the tradesman, was not allowed to prescribe . He was expected to take the prescriptions written by the physician . He kept the shop and made up these prescriptions which he then sold. The contribution of surgeon and physician was so inadequate that gradually through the centuries the tradesman b ecame the doctor of most people . He was not allowed to charge for an examination, but he did examine patients and he did prescribe. Our history is rooted in the tradesman and not in the early physician or surgeon. I believe that the character of medical practice underwent its first and really profound change as a result of hospital construction . There were no hospitals until the 18th centur y . There was an enormous increase in building during the 18th and 19th centuries-mainly charitable hospitals. I want to examine for a moment the effect of the hospital on the role of the doctor. I think this is crucial to understanding the present physiTHE BUFFALO M EDI CAL RE V I EW �cian. Until the 18th century, medical work was performed outside the hospital. During the 18th and 19th centuries no one who could afford to be treated elsewhere went to a hospital-a place essentially for the destitute. The effect of the introduction of hospitals and the prestige of a hospital connection was profound. Formerly the distinction between doctors had been the ones I outlined for physicians, surgeons and tradesmen. There now was a distinction between the doctor with a hospital connection and the one who did not. It was really the hospital which began to alter this distinction and conditions of medical practice. It became highly desirable for a doctor to have a hospital connection. This is the origin of the distinction between consultants and general practitioners or a medical specialist and a general practitioner. It is important to recognize that this distinction in the early periods had very little reality in terms of competence. The doctor w ho worked in the hospital was really no better trained or had more varied experience than the man who worked outside. The British Medical Association Journal in the middle of the 19th century complained bitterly about the equality in relation to consultant and specialist practice. They said the so-called consultant was merely a general practitioner with a hospital attachment who was able to charge higher fees. The next phase was roJJghly from the second half of the 19th century (about 1858) when, for the first time, the "Medical Act" brought all classes of doctors under the same umbrella, and registered them all in the same way. It created FALL, 1968 a single av enue of treatment, training , and for the first time conditions of a unified medical practitioner were created. From that point I think we can really begin to talk about our modern concept of m edical practice and I find it v ery helpful to think of it in three phases. I believ e these phases are fairly well illustrated today and remarkably so by three countries speaking the same language , having the same social and political backgrounds , and with similar organizations of medical practice - Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. I think the problem of medical practice that one sees today in Australia can be regarded as the first phase . One might even call it the primitive phase of medical practice, in w hich a doctor describes himself as the general practitioner and sees patients who come to him directly , and who performs complex services. In a town such as Sidney , approximately one-third of the major surgery is performed by general practitioners , with independent access to the wards of the h ospital. Although this is not uniformly true throughout Australia, and somew hat different in Queensland, it is certainly true of the large part of the South. I believe that most of us feel that form of practice is not really well adjusted to modern conditions. There are a lot of things in medicinethe techniques, know ledge of a sufficient degree of complexity-that can only be mastered by people who devote, train and practice in a field exclusively and who largely depend on other doctors for finding their patients. I think it is entirely r easonable that medicine should move from this first phase-differentiated 11 �practice-into a second phase where there is a line drawn between the general practitioner dealing with the public and the consultant or specialist. In Britain today the general practitioner meets the public as a whole and refers certain types of problems to the consultant. I believe that, in principle , this is a perfectly correct state of affairs, but that it can go too far. It is impossible to be aware of its dangers which I think may eventually accrue. We may have a situation in which essentially everything that is complicated is referred to a special class of doctors, or that the specialist or consultant will become based in a hospital, or that the general practitioner will be largely excluded from the hospital. This will result in a wide gulf between medical care outside and inside the hospital. I think this more or less describes the organization of present-day medical practice. I think that while there is no restriction or planning in the shap e of medical practice, it revolves into a third phase seen in a large number of cases in the United States where the doctor or general practitioner is no longer prepared to operate on that basis . He no longer wants to offer services outside, but wants a hospital connection, and wants them to have a specialization referral when needed. Medicine fragments therefore into a complexity of specialities in which it is very difficult to maintain p ersonal, or any other kind of medical care outside the hospital. This type of arrangement also seems to have its dangers and I think the problem of the loss of personal care and the loss of medical care at home is a real one . 12 The Future of Medical Practice It is against this background then that I want to raise w hat seems to me the outstanding issues which confront us today regarding the future of medical practice. A variation in its shape exists in different parts of the world at approximately the same stage of development. I think we must ask ourselves about the following issues: Do we think it is important to maintain personal medical care? Is it desirable to maintain personal medical care? Two interesting articles on this subject were written several years ago in which the author expressed the view that everyone in this complicated medical world very desperately needs w hat we call a '' medical friend ,'' someone who is continuously responsible for his Informal discussions at Niagara Falls . .--!:""""11....--:::o-:::"'-~ �health, who will steer him through all the complexities of the medical scene and arrange for extra help when required. But back to the first question-Do w e think it is important to provide p ersonal medical care? The second question, I think , is : Do w e think it is important to provide family care, over and above the advantages of an individual having a doctor who is p ersonally identified with him? Is it r eally desirable to have all m embers of the family under the same doctor? If w e think it is , we have to recognize that certain problems follow. Is it really feasibl e for one man to b e perfectly competent in different areas - obstetric emergency, the care of a psychotic child, the care of an emergency treatment of an adult, and the prolonged care of an elderly patient? I think w e ought to rememb er that most students who are passing through the Medical School at the pres ent time will practice in the n ext century. Therefore, we have to ask not only : Is the physician at present satisfactory ? Do we b elieve it is realistic to go into the n ext c entury not technically c omp etent in the demands in the widely diversified areas as stated? I think we must ask ourselv es-if we want p ersonal m edical care , do we want the doctor w orking outside to also work inside the hospitals? The point is made that it is not always easy to reconcile the two roles. If he is to work in the hospitals then w e have to ask ourselves w hat work is he to do? If he is offering personal care outside, can he do technical things such as surgery, anesthetics or should he confine his activities to other fields? FALL, 1968 W e particularly w ant to ask ourselves - if he comes into the hospital , does he enter independently, w ith free rights to admit patients to certain areas of the ho spital with no supervision by consultants or sp ecialists, or should h e enter som e kind of as sociation-fitting into a t eam? We should also ask ourselves wheth er we want to maintain m edical care in the patient ' s hom e. As I stated earli er ther e are places in the United Stat es where it is increasingly difficult to maintain hom e s ervices. One can see that a doctor or ev en a nurs e making r egular visits to h omes is an extravagant use of their time . There are circumstances in which ther e is little adv antage in their doing so. There are at least two large areas of medical care in which I think we have to look very gravely at the p ossibility of ending all hom e care. These are th e care of geriatric and p sychiatric patients. To admit a child who has m easles to a hospital when h e could have b een cared for at h om e may b e unnecessary, but it is not a desperately serious step because the child is going to b e abl e to return hom e. But to unnecessarily admit a psychiatric patient may put him into an institutional environment w hich is only likely to prolong his illness instead of preventing or curing it. T o take an elderly p atient with influenza into a hospital w h en he could b e satisfactorily cared for at home, risks the possibility that the doors of the home will close b ehind him and the patient' s children and relatives will be unwilling to take him back. This is a common case and yet it is v ery easy to get into a situation in which r elatives take it for granted that it is the obligation of the hospital to make provision for their 13 �elderly, sick relatives. I think that we have to critically look at an organization of practice which -'does not perpetuate the idea that it is an obligation of relatives to accept some responsibility for their elderly sick and psychiatric relatives. Services for The Ambulant Finally I think we have to ask ourselves about the organization of services for the ambulant. Do we want the patient who is capable of walking to a doctor or to a nurse to invariably enter a major hospital center or do we want the patient based outside the hospital for this type of activity? We have to ask ourselves-do we really want to clutter up a hospital with large numbers of people with trivial illnysses? Do we think the hospital is the bes~-·~aee for preventive activities in fields such as S!Jild welfare and psychiatry? I have tried to show that there is a balance of advantages on both sides. I want to end by expressing some personal view about the question of practice which might reasonably be consistent with the best answers that we can give to these problems. I want to make it perfectly clear that I am not dogmatic about any of these things. I think that the issues are too complex for anyone to competently predict w hat the nature of medical practice will be in the indefinite future . I am quite sure we need a large number of experiments in different typ es of practice and w e must have the research results before we arrive at the final decisions . I think we have to start in certain directions before we can look ahead. The more of the jigsaw that we can assemble at one time, the more likely we are to have a form of practice which really is pliable. 14 Pers onal Medical Car e Let us take the issues that I have considered one at a time. Do we want personal medical care? I would say we do. It seems unsatisfactory to have a situation in w hich patients find their way to individual doctors with out any sort of continuing care fro m any one physician. We should expect to provide some family care. I have what is regarded by many people in Britain as h eretical views . I think it is a highly desirable objective but not really a r ealistic one . It seems inconceivable to me that a person can be technically and psychologically equipped for the full range of problems which are present in a family. I can conceive that if the doctor wants to go more in the direction of the social worker, if he wants his task to be less specifically medical and technical, I would conceive of a role which would allow him to care for the entire family. But I believe that with the increasing prosperity, with increasing elimination of the problems of poverty , which we can surely look forward to , we should be able to diminish th e role of the doctor as family advisor in the gen eral sense. "What's the boy going to do? How should we invest as little money as we can spare?" I think these things can be reasonable subjects for discussion over a drink with your doctor, but I don't think they should be conceived of as an essential part of his work. I think it is in line w ith both medical wishes and public w ishes that th e doctor should remain a doctor. When he is called in to see a sick child , he really is competent w ith this problem. I believe therefore that a little aggressiveness in the other areas is necessary. THE BUFFALO M EDICAL REV I EW �think it is satisfactory to bring all our ambulants to the hospital. I do think we need medical centers intimately associated with the community in which our personal doctors can work in groups. And finally, from what I said about family practice , there ought to be a degree of specialization in all forms of medical practice. I think that it is unrealistic for one doctor to deal with the whole family. I think we have to find some way of allowing him to specialize. The Student Convocation. Medical Care in the Home Next, I think that we ought to maintain medical care in the patient's home. I think we must explore means of reducing this to an absolute minimum. W e ought to find possible ways to hav e services in the home for certain psychiatry and geriatric patients. If we don't, we shall pay a very heavy price at the hospital end. I think that the personal doctor working outside and giving some service in the hom e should have a role in the hospital. I think this role should be one which is compatible with his activities outside. I do not believe he should be in the hospital performing surgery, or giving anesthetics, when obviously specially trained and experienced p eople can get substantially better results. I think , too , that he should b e working from a base for ambulant services outside the hospital as well as inside the hospital. In other words, I do not FALL, 1968 Personal Doctors, Consultants suggested some years ago , and got into plenty of trouble doing it, but I think as time goes on it is reasonable to think of doctors broadly divided into two classes; personal doctors and consultants. I suggested that we ought to have a consultant in any field in which the nature of the work is such that it can only be well done by someone who has trained himself to specifically follow and dedicate his career wholly to it. I still feel that it is perhaps most realistic to think of this consultant working mainly as a secondary agent-not seeing patients directly, but by referral from the p ersonal doctor. The personal doct or, on the other hand , might base his specialization on the age of the patient. I suggested that we might think about it as composed of obstetrician, pediatrician, adult physician, and geriatric physician. Perhaps this combination do es not differ from what does exist in some places in the United States. I think the chief departure is in resp ect to the geriatric physician. A society which has a very elderly population should have a class of doctors who devote themselves to its 15 �care. I think that the age of retirement is a very useful yardstick for this point of differentiation. I think that this distinction may b e justified because from the time of retirement, the character of the medical problems changes so rapidly that from about age 69 the increase of geriatric disease goes up sharply. There is as well the profound change in the patient ' s social circumstances. With the loss of work, loss of income, and the loss of interest, there are profound differences in the social background against which this disease has to be examined. I therefore thought it quite reasonable to think of these four classes of doctors working in a group , according to the numbers of the population they are serving and to think of these doctors providing all the preventive and treatment services needed by the individual. I think of them also working in hospitals and providing the hospitals with the full range of care with their competence. But when they are presented with the problem which is beyond them, they must turn to the assistance of the consultant. This would be wholly in a field like surgery, for an example, or in psychiatry. I feel that is a possible way. I do not claim more than that for r econciling the various and almost conflicting inter ests that we have to cope with. The maint enanc e of successful personal m edical care, the maint enance of home care, a role for the doctor in the hospital which k eeps him in full touch with medical interests and insures continuity of care between home and hospitals. I think that if we went in some such direction, w e would resolve many of the ills 16 which at present exist between tw o different classes of doctors . They are very obvious of course in the British Isles. We would no longer have two different classes of citizens~as we virtually have at the present time-one very - w ell attended, the other rather depressed , and th e difficulty of maintaining the second. I feel we would have two classes of doctors then, both very well trained , both trained for specialized work , but trained on quite different principles. One group would provide for the needs of special sections of the population for whom they are trained in preventive care, treatment through hospital care, and home care. The m edical workers or consultants working at the hospital end would be do ing the other tasks which are inevitably complimentary to the work of the personal doctors. I said that I wasn 't dogmatic , b ut in the case of medical practice I have no illusions about the difficulties. I think they are far too complex for on e person to pres um e to have a complete answer. What I have been mainly concerne d with is attracting your att ention to our formal practice at the present time, the fact that it was very different in the past and will almost certainly change in the future. I think nothing could b e healthier for the future of medicine than for us to obtain a generation of doctors w ho hav e some idea of w h ere we have come from , and at least some idea of w h ere we are go ing. They can th en approach future changes not as tho ugh th ey w ere to be challenged , dismissed , ignor ed or res ented , but as something quite inevitable- w hich they must accept , welco me , and do their b est to shape .D THE BUFFALO MED ICA L REV I EW �I Geoffrey Clark makes friends with the Vietnamese. ''I wanted to see for myself what was going on in Vietnam.'' This is why Geoffrey E. Clark, a senior medical student volunteered for nonmilitary medical service. Mr. Clark spent two and one-half months (September 6 to November 13, 1967) in this war-torn land with Project Concern, a private medical relief agency. He was in DaMpao, 35 miles from the provincial capital city of Dalat. This is 125 miles northeast of Saigon. He was ten minutes by helicopter from Dalat or two hours via a terrible dirt road. FALL, 1968 ' 'This particular area had an elevation of 300 feet. It looked more like Maine than the jungles of Southeast Asia. It was inhabited by Koho Montenyard tribesmen, who came down from the hills to settle in small hamlets. They were refugees, escaping from the Viet Cong. These people were right out of the National Geographic - barechested women smoking pipes and carrying babies on their backs. The men wore loin cloths and used home-made, primitive tools. They liv ed in grass huts, were very friendly, and had an interesting culture. ' 'The hospital was nothing like its American counterpart. Patients sleep on bamboo mats over bedsprings. Usually there are at least two people to a bed, since most patients have at least one relative with them. If the whole family comes to the hospital, the extra people just curl up on the floor. They sleep this way at home. The family takes care of the patient - feeding and washing. They even scrub the ward floors. " The Vietnamese are very self reliant , and straight forward. They are strong, real people, and life isn't cheap. They suffer just as much and die as hard as Americans. Perhaps they don't take death as hard because they see so much of it. After all they have been at war for almost 30 years.

I am neither a pacifist nor a left winger, but I am absolutely opposed to the United States policy. It is a bad, unfruitful policy that isn't based on the facts as they exist in Vietnam. I b elieve this is a civil w ar between the Vietnamese p eople. They do not think of Vietnam as two distinct countries,'' the medical student said . Mr. Clark went on to say that the people he met dislike the Viet Cong. They also dislike their government b eing a puppet of the United States. The 29-year-old medical student admitt ed that Vietnam is a complex political and social situation. There is no simple solution. It is much more than two distinct forces opposing each other. ''Most Vietnamese b elieve it would be almost impossible to forc e a settlement with the National 18 Liberation Front or Hanoi. I think our present position is militarily hopeless and morally bankrupt. I doubt that we can 'win ' without imposing some 'final solution' on all the Viet namese people , and I think w e are coming dangerously close to this in our 'resettlement programs ' . "On the other hand my stint in Vietnam made me realize that we just can't pull out. We must negotiate and realize that the results may not b e too favorable to the United Stat es ," Mr. Clark said. ''The people talked v ery little about the 'big issues ' of the war. They knew su ch things w ere out of their hands . For them the war is a fact of life which they try to live w ith the best they can.'' '' The level of m edicine we practiced in Vietnam w as very simple. W e did, how ever , make some improvements.

The site development plan shows the new campus will be seven times the size of the present Main Street campus. When completed late in the 1970's, the huge complex of individual but interrelated structures will stretch for nearly a mile south from Ellicott Creek and cover more than 1,000 acres . The estimated cost is in the $600$650 million range. President Martin Meyerson described the new campus as the "most imaginative, educational development in the country. It allows space for the traditional pageantry as well as teaching machines. Its impact on upper New York State will be tremendous.'' "This is the largest project the State University has ever undertaken,'' State University Chancellor Samuel B. Gould said, "and we are proceeding with the kind of speed to make it a reality just as fast as possible.'' "This is going to be a magnificent campus," he said, ''not only in attractiveness but in the way it will meet the academic needs of the university. It will attract attention all over the country by its size and its innovative departures.'' Some of the major features of the new campus developed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill of New York City are: - a core dominated on the northwest end by a health sciences complex that would include medical teaching facilities , a 350-bed University Hospital and a 300-bed state mental health facility for alcoholism. - the other end of the core will feature basic academic facilities for several of the interdis- CoNSTRUCTION 22 ciplinary "faculties" including arts and letters, engineering and applied science, and the arts center. They will be arranged in a U-shape facing a mall . In the center of the U will be the library, programmed to be the tallest building on the campus at about 11 stories. Some administrative offices will be in the library. - between the health sciences and the library will be more mall, plus elongated structures for the faculties of natural science and mathematics, and social science, education and law. - a cluster of eight "colleges" which will encompass a total student environment of some academic space, plus living, eating and recreational facilities are to be located near the center of the core. Another 22 "colleg-es" will be scattered north of the health sciences complex, as well as along Ellicott Creek . The master plan provides for a core of four sub-campuses: (1) Faculty of the Health Sciences; (2) the Faculties of Social Sciences and Administration, of Educational Studies , and of Law and Jurisprudence; (3) the Faculties of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and (4) the Faculty of Arts and Letters and related functions. Each of these sub-campuses will have a major library with separate wings for each faculty. These libraries will be connected to a central library building. The first six colleges, on which work is expected to start this fall, will be located along Skinnersville Road and the shore of Ellicott Creek. They are scheduled to be occupied in February 1971. These six colleges, like those to be built later, will have no more than 1,000 graduate and undergraduate students attached to each one.

Incorporated in the first six, in addition to residential and dining facilities, will be seminarsize classrooms, a satellite computing center, experimental theater, craft shop, and a three quarter size Olympic swimming pool. With the exception of the colleges, which will be essentially suburban satellites of the main core, the central group of buildings will be constructed on a platform raised about 20 feet off the present ground level. The faculties, library, and related communication facilities will all be interconnected by pedestrian passageways above, below, and on the ground. Underneath the platform, access roadways will be provided for truck and other delivery of supplies. Some underground parking facilities will also be provided under the health sciences and faculty-library complexes. The plan also provides for 12 parking lots on the periphery, each running nearly 10 acres. "There will be some sort of rapid transit between buildings, but the exact nature of the system has not yet been decided upon," Dr. Robert L. Ketter, the University's vice president for facilities planning, said. Some type of rapid transit will also be used to interconnect the Amherst and Main Street campuses. A lake of 50 or 60 acres, up to 20 feet in depth, will be a very important feature of the new campus. It will be located in the northern part of the site and will hopefully "solve the difficult drainage problems of the area,'' as well as offering recreation opportunities. A modest-sized student union will be located at one side of the body of water, although the majority of student union facilities will be scattered about among the faculties and colleges. 24 There will be two major gateways to the main core of the campus. On the east, a concrete canopy more than 1,000 feet long will cover theaters, exhibit spaces for the arts and sciences meeting areas, kiosks for snacks and student group meeting places. On the west side of the campus, the gateway will lead to the Faculty of Health Sciences and related hospitals, and other facilities. There will be a 20,000-seat stadium, a 12,000seat fieldhouse, an ice hockey rink, athletic fields, outdoor courts for tennis and other sports, and a central gymnasium on the southern part of the site. Most athletic facilities will be attached to the colleges. Dr. Gould said the bulk of the campus would be completed by 1975, but intimated the work would not be finished until after that date. Ultimately, it will have 14,577,575 gross square feet of floor space, as compared with 1.8 million at the Main Street campus. The new campus is designed to serve a total projected enrollment of 45,000 students on all levels by 1975. Of this number, about 39,000 will be full time graduate and undergraduate students. The rest will be part-time students. Exactly what structures will be built after the six colleges are started remains to be determined. That is subject to agreements "to be reached with the State Division of the Budget in accordance with normal procedures for State University Construction,'' Dr. Gould said. Also involved is the establishment of priorities for the Amherst Campus construction in relation to building projects at other State University units . 0 THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �has a satellite. It is the ''Main Street Division'' at 2211 Main Street (formerly the Chronic Disease Research Institute). Prior to 1951, it was the Federal Marine Hospital of the United States Public Health Service. This multifaceted complex embraces five buildings, 14 departments, offices, laboratories, classrooms , and about 125 people. There is the orthopedic pathology laboratory, the unit of community services' research and development in the department of preventive medicine (epidemiology, virology, vaccine center, air pollution studies, wellbaby clinic), the neuro-psychology laboratory of the department of psychiatry, the headquarters for the Regional Medical Program (Health Organization of Western New York), the electrophysiological studies division of the department of physiology, occupational therapy, a cardiovascular evaluation clinic, animal facilities, headquarters of continuing medical education, and medical illustrations .

THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Dr. Seymour Axelrod shows his lab technician how to adjust programing equipment in the neuro-psychology laboratory. The Model Child Health Conference (well-baby clinic) started in January, 1964 when Dr. Warren Winkelstein, Jr., professor of preventive medicine, and Dr. David T. Karzon, professor of pediatrics, received a $785,000 five-year Public Health Service grant for "Ecological Studies of Vaccines." The purpose was to evaluate specific vaccines, determine when and where vaccines should be used, and provide a center for the collection, evaluation, and dissemination of information. Rather than develop new vaccines, the emphasis is on the effectiveness of those which have been licensed for use in humans. Dr . William E. Mosher, Erie County Health Commissioner , and Dr. Michel Ibrahim, Deputy Commissioner, are active participants and coinvestigators in the research program. Additional financial support has come from the Erie County Health Department, the United Health Fund, the New York State Health Department , and several pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Under a $147,908 three year contract with the New Yark State Health Department, primary investigators are Drs. Winkelstein, and E. Peter Isacson, associate professor of preventive medicine. Air pollution levels and infection rate in children have been studied separately many times, but this project represents the first time they have been studied together on the same group. Under Dr. Harry Sultz, associate clinical professor of preventive medicine, a health manpower survey has been conducted in the Western New York region for the Regional Medical Program. It is compilation of both professional manpower requirements and needs. In the vaccine center , evaluation unit members have conducted tests on measles , mumps , poliomyelitis , and smallpox vaccines. 28 The neuropsychology laboratory is headed by Dr. Harold Axelrod, associate professor of psychological research. He is interested in how the nervous system regulates behavior in rats, cats, and people. The electrophysiological studies division is headed by Dr. Werner Noel, professor of physiology. Here, one retinal project is to test for hereditary blindness in animals (rats and cats) to determine how light stimulates the eye, the way in which we· see, and damage by light. In the histology laboratory animals are exposed to light, and testing response, and histological damages are recorded. A new bone laboratory (orthopedic pathology section) under Dr. Eugene Mind ell, professor and chairman of orthopedic surgery, is also a part of the "Main Street Division." Many of the nation's rare tumor cases are referred to this laboratory for further study.D Air pollution is a concern of the University.

The master plan for the only children's hospital in New York State includes the construction of two 10-story buildings - one to replace the present two-story administrative building at 219 Bryant Street (built in 1906) and the other fronting on Hodge Street at the back of the parking lot, for research. Both buildings will be completed by 1980. Hospital Director Frank L. Muddle anticipates that the first four or five floors of the buildings will be built in the first phase of the expansion and the other floors added later. The expansion is tailor made to meet the needs of the hospital's outpatient department and the teaching and research requirement of the hospital staff and the School of Medicine. Under construction at Meyer Memorial Hospital is five one-story wings totaling 75,000 square feet. This is a teaching-research-administration complex for the School of Medicine. It will include laboratory and research areas, diagnostic and clinical treatment areas, and office and administration space. No bed space is involved. It will cost about $2.9 million (including equipment] and will be completed in 1969 . The county has agreed to build and finance the project on condition that the state repay the county for full costs within a five year period. This project is not part of the planned construction of a new county hospital on the existing Meyer Hospital site, but will be taken into account in hospital design and planning stages. FALL, 1968 Beside expanding on its present site, Millard Fillmore Hospital will build a 150-bed satellite hospital on Maple Road near Hopkins in the Town of Amherst. The sate-llite hospital will cost approximately $5,750,000 . The additional $9 .5 million is earmarked for modernization of the present facility. Four floors will be added to the three-story west wing, built in 1956. Another seven floors can be added later. Hospital President Charles W. Dorries said the "comprehensive and flexible program" would enable the hospital to meet the anticipated needs of both the community it now serves and the rapidly expanding population of the suburban area. The hospital complex will be a "communityoriented teaching center." It will "offer patients a broad list of specialized services while continuing to make substantial contributions to education and research.'' The hospital has filed a letter of intent with the New York State Health Department asking permission to proceed with the building project. Construction is well along on The Buffalo General Hospital's $4.7 million addition at Ellicott and High. This addition-four stories above two basement levels-will be completed in the summer of 1969. The 108-bed wing will house a urology department, new emergency section, and physicians' library. An additional $2.5 million will be spent to link the wing via a tunnel under Goodrich Street to a future Community Mental Health Center and for connections to the boiler plant.O 29 Affiliated Hospitals Expand �Faculty Awards Two FACULTY MEMBERS were honored at the annual spring faculty meeting by President Martin Meyerson and Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor. Dr. Hermann Rahn, chairman of the department of physiology, was the sixth recipient of the Stockton Kimball Award, traditionally given in recognition of distinguished research, teaching and community service. The award was a Steuben glass star crystal. Dr. Kenneth H. Eckhert, clinical instructor in. legal medicine, received the Dean's Award for contributions to the University and the community. He received a desk clock. Dr. Eckhert , a 1935 Medical School graduate, has served on the volunteer faculty since 1940. He was cited for his role of organizing and serving as the first president of the United Health Foundation. He also served as chairman of both the County Advisory Board of Social Services and the County's Co-ordinating Health Council. He is also chief consultant of surgery at Deaconess Hospital and senior cancer research surgeon at Roswell Park Memorial Institute . Dr. · Surgenor praised Dr. Eckhert for bringing to the attention of the community, through the United Health Foundation, '' the importance of research for health in its broadest aspects. '' Since the organization's formation, more than $250,000 has been dedicated by the community for this program. Dr. Eckhert was also credited with "providing urgently-needed leadership last fall in the reestablishment of the master plan for the Meyer Memorial Hospital. His efforts set in motion plans to maintain the hospital's future as an outstanding President Meyerson admires Dr. Rahn 's award . community and teaching hospital, thus assuring continuing co-operation between the University and the community. " As a member of the faculty since 1956, Dr . Rahn is internationally known for his research in respiratory physiology . He is a consultant to the National Aeronautics and Space Agency's Man in Space Program, the USAF School of Aviation Medicine at Brooks Air Force Base and the Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, California. Dr. Rahn was cited, " for the enviable reputation he and his department have earned in teaching and the many interfaces of his work with clinical medicine, patient care in the community and in broad national programs of high-altitude and underwater explorations.'' Dr. Rahn received his bachelor's degree from Cornell University and his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester .0 Dr. Eckhert 30 THE BUFF A LO ME DI CAL RE VI EW �was the site of the first international meeting of immunology ever to be held. Organized by a committee consisting of department of microbiology's Dr. Noel R. Rose, professor; Dr. Felix Milgram, chairman; Dr. James F . Mohn, professor; and Dr. Ernst Beutner, associate professor, the three-day (June 17-19) International Convocation on Immunology attended by over 500, was sponsored in part by the Chancellor's Innovative Fund of SUNYAB's Research Foundation. Its purpose-to present a comprehensive picture of immunology ' s current status, to point toward directions for future r esearch, and to inaugurate the new Center for Immunology to be headed by Dr. Ernest Witebsky. Its most obvious emphasis was to honor the distinguished professor of bacteriology and immunology and director of the new Center. It opened with a social evening at the AlbrightKnox Art Gallery, complete with a string quartet playing Mozart. Immunologists from around the world - Japan, India, Australia, Yugoslavia, Brazil, etc. - met and, over cocktails, talked about immunology, the study of the body's immune responses, its importance in resistance to disease and in organ transplants . Opening the scientific sessions, President Martin M eyerson emphasized that the international flavor of the group attest ed to the international vitality of immunology. Representing different areas of immunology, the 32 speakers and discussants presented in-depth sessions on chemistry and bi6lug~ of cellular antigens; development and control of the immune response; blood group and transplantation antigens; autoimmunity; models BuFFALO FAll, 1968 and mechanisms; tissue specificity and autoimmunity; and tumor specific antigens. The sessions were highlighted by a paper by Dr, Jean Dausset of the Blood Disease Research Institute in Paris . His conclusions emphasized that the chances for successful organ transplants would be greatly enhanced if all the information on possible donors and recipients were pooled. If further progress was made in organ preservation, he felt that the chances could be even greater. ''Three essential requirements are necessary for the eventual success of clinical organ transplantation'' further progress in organ preservation to permit transportation of the most compatible organ to the very best possible recipient. establishment of a large or even nationwide pool of organ transplant recipient candidates whose tissue types have been fully characterized by the best available techniques. further development of immunological techniques designed to induce tolerance to the organ transplant without interference with the remainder of the recipient's defense mechanisms. Dr. Dausset described his participation in the discovery that a person's white blood cells can give ready indication of his organ tissue typ e . Considered a major breakthrough in the area of transplant, this discovery confirmed that a transplanted organ stands less chance of rejection if the donor and recipient "match." At a banquet which followed the first day's sessions, Dr. Robin R.A. Coombs honored his long-time friend, Dr. Witebsky. "To the University 31 The Center for lmn1.unology �'Jrs. Salah Al-Askari,].]. Van loghen he has been a distinguished professor, to his colleagues the chief, to all of us a good friend. He has been a giant.'' The Quick Professor of Biology at the department of pathology, Cambridge University, England, pointed out that ''there are not many immunologists whose output is still going up after 45 years." He noted that Dr . Witebsky' s scientific output involved over 300 publications. Greeted by a standing ovation from the 275 attendees, Dr. Witebsky responded that one notable effect of scientific research "is the tie of friendship it builds not only between immediate colleagues but among men in the same field around the world . . . a fraternity of immunologists.'' Dr. Coombs lauded the new Center for Immunology and emphasized that it should have strong faculty support . . . facilities for both graduate and undergraduate teaching. " There should be a catholic research program that is organized and seminal . . . and it should be directed by a wise and selfless person.

TH E BUFFALO M EDICAL REVIEW �The ceremony was conducted solely on the remarks of three men closely involved with its creation - Drs. Surgenor, Witebsky, and Milgram. Representing the verbal result of three year 's endeavor on the part of immunologists at UB and Roswell Park, the center itself as presently conceived will provide a framew ork of collaboration among interested innumologists in the Buffalo community, the site of intensive immunological research. Dr. Witebsky stressed, "we feel that such a c~nter has a permanent future . .. within the free Drs. Surgenor, Milgram , Mohn, W itebsky. work of the university, not outside the campus in an ivory tower.'' Dr. Surgenor stated that Chancellor Gould designated it as the immunology center for the entire University system comprised of 60 different units. In an outline for such a center the Provost said, ''there should be a small number of centers. Their quality should be high . . . they should have finite size and not dominate the academic environment to the exclusion of other important functions of the University. "Noncompetitive, it should be an imminent part of the University and not an ivory tower built off to the side. It should have a core of fulltime staff . . . perhaps half a dozen . . . provide the administrative support for the core of investigators and the setting in the University which will allow them to interact in a maximal effect with many other people ... to draw investigators in and out of the university." It is difficult to predict in which direction such a center will go , responded Dr. Witebsky. "We must relinquish certain rights of the ivory tow er . . . the price is worth paying. What can it offer for the present and possibly for the future? Try to correlate different interests in various parts of the state . . . we have already started . . . holding monthly meetings.' ' Chairman of the dedication, Dr. Milgram is regarded as the man who first proposed the center. "We r ealized that the teaching of immunology on all levels requires an organizational framework. . . and that as immunologists are scattered in various departments of the university , we needed some basis for coming together. W e hope to repeat the Immunology Conferenc e every other year," he stated.D 33 �The Medical Mace SENIOR CLASS DAY exercises a tradition seven years old - added something new this year to its ceremony. It is the School of Medicine Mace which represents an important symbolic achievement. Its origin started in 1961 when members of the graduating class complained of the increasing impersonality of the overall University Commencement. To counteract this lack of tradition , Dr. Edward Marra, professor and chairman of the department of preventive medicine, helped to develop the senior class ceremony at which members of the graduating class take the traditional Oath of Maimonides, receive their academic hoods, and sign the Great Book of Physicians. One day in December, 1967, Dr. Marra walked into the office of Associate Dean Robert L. Brown. "Make us a mace." In his hand was a wooden object - a reproduction of a plunger of an early American butter churn. The mace, originally a weapon for breaking armor, evolved into a symbol of authority associated with the formal ceremonial rituals of educational, religious, and governmental institutions with a western European heritage. Into its design were incorporated elements representative of the history of the institutional traditions. The University as a whole has had one for several y ears , but the Medical School has never had one of its own . Dr . Brown became its designer and executor . H e carried it for the first time at the 122nd annual Commencement May 31. T h e School of Medicine mace incorporates a numb er of symbols of local and medical signifi canc e. The plunger is covered with silver leaf. 34 Silver - used for the wooden form and fittingsweighs approximately one pound. The initial artifact-a block of Lockport red sandstone-came from the first Medical School building opened at the corner of Main and Virginia Streets in 1849. It is the identical stone included in the capital buildings of Albany and Washington. From the block, six ground and faceted rectangular stones were placed around the drum of the head of the mace. They represent the six original departments of the school - surgery; medicine and physiology; chemistry and pharmacy; anatomy; obstetrics, diseases of women and children and medical jurisprudence; and pathology and material medica or pharmacology. The flaming urn-a motif used to represent the search for knowledge-was the contribution from the second School of Medicine library located on High Street and was used for classes Drs. Surgenor, Rahn, Eckhert, and Brown with the Ma ce. �from 1893 until the present building was opened in 1953. When the building was torn down, one of the urns was salvaged. A silver casting of it was used at the other end of the mace. Jade-dark green which is the academic color of medicine, and was once believed to prevent or cure back pains-was selected as an appropriate jewel for the six points of the crown surmounting the head of the mace . A serpent-entwined silver staff-the symbol of Aesculapius, son of Apollo and god of medicine in Greek mythology-rises from the crown. An alumnus of the Law School, George E. Phillies, and father of Dr. Eustace G. Phillies, M'38, brought back a number of seeds from the plane tree on the Greek Island of Cos under which Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, reputedly taught his students more than 2,000 years ago. One of the seeds is imbedded in the head of the mace, under the crown. When not in use, the mace will rest on an oaken box or cradle made of wood shelving from the High Street library. The metal rests that will support it are copied from the medieval alchemist's symbols-one which represents Diana, goddess of childbirth, and another representing Mercury, a god associated with health. A drawer in the cradle holds colored slides of each of the elements of the mace. The mace represents a community effort. Dr. Brown was assisted in its technical aspects by Hans Blazy, head technician of the prosthodontics department in the School of Dentistry, and William Tanski, Jr. of the Health Sciences fabrication and maintenance shop.D FAll, 1968 Mrs. Betty N. La wson, RN, de monstrates a Coronary Care monitor machine. The Regional Medical Program for Western New York will sponsor three more coronary care training programs for registered nurses and physicians this fall. The six-week courses begin September 2, 30, and October 28. The objective is to develop competence of the nurse in the specialized area of coronary care. The initial course, which ended in June, graduated 16 nurses. The course included theoretical instruction at the organiz?-tion's training headquarters, 820 Kenmore Avenue, and supervised clinical experience in six hospitals-Buffalo General, E. J. Meyer Memorial, Deaconess, Mercy, Sisters of Charity, and Veterans Administration. Mrs. Betty N. Lawson, R.N., associate professor of clinical nursing at the University, directs the coronary care program. There is about $40,000 worth of the newest cardiac treatment equipment at the Kenmore Avenue headquarters.D 35 Coronary Care Progran1s �Students Sponsor Harrington Lecturer It was the students' day when Dr. Paul E. Russell came to Buffalo as the first student-sponsored Harrington Lecturer. The John Homans Professor of Surgery and chief of the general surgical services at the Massachusetts General Hospital participated in Grand Rounds, dined with the students, and delivered two lectures on his research specialty-transplantation immunology. Informal student discussions ranged from the medical school curriculum to the role of the teacher. Over an informal lunch of sandwiches and coffee he stressed that '' times are changing but medical school education is one of the slowest to change. ' ' Dr. Russell Impressed that the invitation was studentsponsored, he accepted. He likes t o teach and thinks it is quite important. "The primary job of a teacher is to teach and not to do research . '' In a lecture open to the public, he pointed out that 14,000 people could be saved each year in this country but there are fewer donors than recipients . "It is going to be possible for most of ·the organs in the body to be transplanted. '' Very soon, he felt it will be within our grasp to alter conditions, and that transplants will earn an important and justified place in the merciful cause of medicine. Approximately 150 junior and senior medical students participated in Grand Rounds with Dr. Russell at Meyer Memorial Hospital. Heading the student committee that was responsible for bringing Dr. Russell to Buffalo were John R. Fisk, Andrew Y. Silverman, and Harold L. Kulman. A similar lecture is planned for the coming year .0 36 New HOWNY President Dr . Herbert E. Joyce, M'45, is the new president of the Health Organization of Western New York, the advisory group for the Regional Medical Program. Dr. Joyce is a general practitioner who was president of the Erie County Medical Society in 1966 and president of the American Academy of General Practice in 1960. Dr. Joyce succeeds Dr. William Chalecke of Jamestown. Other officers are: Dr . Paul Welch of LeRoy, vice chairman; the Reverend Cosmos Girard, OFM, St. Bonaventure, secretary; and Mr. Martin Meier of Jamestown, treasurer . The area covered includes the Western New York Counties of Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Genesee , Erie, Niagara and Wyoming, and Erie County of Pennsylvania . This program will bring benefits of research in heart, cancer and stroke to patients of this area. Commenting on the program Dr. Joyce said , ''I have seen this organization grow during the past two years. We have reviewed over 34 proposals to provide better patient care. We have six proposals worth over $6 million awaiting Federal funding. It is significant that there now is actually cooperation between all the allied health fields in our eight county region. For the first time people involved in nursing, the medical profession , educators, and other paramedical fields are sitting down and discussing comprehensive patient care and cooperation.' 'D TH E BUFFALO MEDICAL RE VI EW D r. Joyce �of a major college football program is a complex endeavor, enlisting the skills and services of a great number of people w hose duties both complement and supplement each other in an extensive variety of ways. Among these people are players, coaches, the trainer and his staff, the equipment manager and his aides, academic couns elors , the athletic director and/ or business manager and the team physician. The physician of a college football team is in a unique situation as regards his relationships with his patients (the players) and the person who is, in a practical sense, his employer (the h ead coach). There are certain things expected of the team doctor and h e must perform his duties with these things in mind, at the same time remaining consistent with sound medical principles. This requires a high degree of understanding between the doctor and the head coach. So much so, that the coach-doctor relationship may be d escrib ed as a team. At the Univ ersity the two individuals who comprise the coach-doctor team are men w h o bring to their positions excellent backgrounds in their work. Coach Richard "Doc" Urich has been 16 years in his profession, working at Miami (0.), Northwestern and Notre Dame. He holds a Mast er's degree in Physical Education and is a member of the faculty at the University. He is also assistant athletic director. His nickname, incidentally, has nothing to do with the practice of medicine. It is simply something that was acquired during his boyh~od and has remained with him ever since. The team physician is Dr. Edmond J. Gicewicz, M'52, a member of the THE OPERATION FALL, 1968 faculty (clinical instructor in surgery) at the University of Buffalo Medical School , a practicing surgeon, a former star football player who was enrolled in the University of Buffalo Athletic Hall of Fame in 1966. Dr. Gicewicz never lost his interest in football even after his playing days were finished and he has b een and continues to be, when dutie s permit, a referee at high school and college football games , locally and throughout th e East. To Coach Urich, Dr. Gicewicz is an imp ortant part of the football organization, both physically and psy chologically, before, during and after games. Because football is a hard , body-contact sport, injuries will h appen. They are part of the game and can be indeed a decisive part. A coach seeks to have his b est physically fit players in action and he must know who these players are at any given time. Consequently, as far as the coach is concerned, it is an absolute necessity that the team physician be always on call and maintain standardized hours for attention to the team. During the season daily consultations are a' ' must '' b etween coach and doctor. The basic job of the doctor is to recognize and treat injuries early and aggressively, to bring the injured boy into playing condition as soon as possible without compromising the boy' s wellbeing. For this, more than knowledge of mere medicine is required. Making a decision on athletic injuries entails recognition on the doctor's part when an injury is such that the player can p erform without suffering physical harm. In this connection Dr. Gicewicz r egards his playing days as an invaluable aid. He well r emembers his own 37 The Coach-Doctor Team by Joe Marcin Former Sports Information Director at the University �"Doc" Urich experiences with wrenched knees, turned ankles and the like and thus is able to render a better judgment on the rehabilitation time required to heal such things. When he deems it necessary, the team doctor should avail himself of the knowledge of other doctors, as he may have to base his decision regarding an operation and/ or procedure of treatment on a consensus of opinion. The ultimate decision, of course, is his alone. Psychologically, the doctor can do a great job on behalf of the team. College boys can be reached at different levels and the doctor who practices the art of medicine is in a position to render substantial service. One of the more difficult aspects of this part of the work is to know which players have a tendency to "goldbrick" and which are the opposite. Some boys seemingly enjoy treatment as they can perhaps get a day or two off from practice, some have hypochondriacal tendencies, others may disdain to seek treatment when it is necessary. It is up to the doctor to learn his personnel so that he knows which players fit into a particular category and handle them accordingly. The bedside manner is as important in the dressing room and on the playing field as it is elsewhere. One of the requirements demanded of the team doctor is the ability to react to pressures during a game. He must be cool under fire and able to make a sound judgment regarding injuries in the heat of battle. The coach, on his part, must respect the doctor's judgment and have sufficient confidence in it to be guided by it. This is part of the rapport which should exist on the coachdoctor team. A case in point occurred in 1966 during the Buffalo-Boston College game. Bill Tay38 lor, the captain of the Buffalo team and its best offensive lineman, appeared somew hat dazed when taken out of the game in the third quarter. Dr. Gicewicz 's decision was that the boy should not be permitted to play any more t hat day . Coach Urich kept the young man out of action although Taylor was sorely needed. The final score of th e game was Boston College 22 , Buffalo 21 , and one good player might have made a difference. However, the physical well-being of the boy is of paramount importance and the decision to withhold Taylor was not regretted by either coach or doctor. Neither wants to win games at the expense of physical harm, either to one 's own players or to the opponents.

The examination includes , besides looking for obvious physical defects, a goo d look into the boy's past medical history. Preventive medicine includes the coach, the doctor and the team trainer working together to devise a good, strenuous training program. Experience has demonstrated that injuries are more likely to occur when a player is not at his physical peak. It may be that three-quarters of the way through a game he doesn't react quickly enough to a situation or he's trying to relax and catch his breath when he gets hit. The player who can go at top speed for 100 per cent of the contest, because of good physical training and conditioning, is less apt to incur an injury. A sound training program should seek to develop protective muscular mechanisms about the body, especially at the joints. Part of the doctor's responsibility, along with the coach and the trainer, is to see to it that the players are well-fitted with the best of equipment, including ancillary pieces such as neck braces and harnesses for dislocations. He should also check on the facilities of the training room, insuring that there are adequate physical therapy modalities to take care of the treatment and rehabilitation of the abundant musculoskeletal injuries which are bound to occur in any strenuous sport. Both Dr. Gicewicz and Coach Urich regard the liaison between them as the critical part of the team physician's duties . The coach depends upon the doctor's evaluation of injuries and his FALL, 1968 judgment as to when a boy will be ready to play. The coach also depends upon the doctor to prescribe activities for the injured player so that the coach is constantly abreast of the progress of injured players. The coach must have daily r~ports on all injuries, both new and old . It is up to the doctor to direct the trainer as to what physical therapy modalities are to be used in particular cases , to describe the kinds and lengths of treatment and to decide also upon special taping techniques. Dr. Gicewicz feels that a useful purpose would be served by having some experienced team physicians sit in on meetings of the Football Rules Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association to advise and make recommendations in connection with proposed rules changes so that the aspect of possible injuries is taken into account when changes are considered.D Dr. Gicewicz wants that touchdown �Senior Wins Essay Contest A graduating senior won a Commencement bonus for himself and his school.

Richman International Essay Contest sponsored by the Council on Undergraduate Medical Education of the American College of Chest Physicians. Stuart is the son of Dr . and Mrs. Norton Shapiro, 947 Harrison Avenue, Niagara Falls, New York . Dr. Shapiro is a 1937 Buffalo Medical School graduate . Dr. Shapiro Dr. Stuart Shapiro received his $500.00 prize along with a certificate of merit at the Convocation of American College of Chest Physicians meeting in San Francisco, June 16 . Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, provost for the Faculty of Health Sciences, accepted a trophy for the University at the same time. ''An Analysis of Angiographic Measurements of Left Ventricular Wall Thickness throughout the Cardiac Cycle" was the title of Dr. Shapiro's winning essay. It is the first time that a Buffalo medical student has won this coveted prize. Dr. Shapiro was graduated from Park School of Buffalo in 1960; received his bachelor ' s degree from Syracuse University in 1964, and entered Medical School the following September. He started his internship at Hahnemann Hospital, Philadelphia in July. The 1967 winner was a Yale University medical school student.D 40 A RESEARCH PROJECT by Stuart H. Shapiro, M ' 68 Editor's note: T his is a summary of the research project that wo n the $500 Alfred A. Richman Int ernational Essa y Contest . Dr. Shapiro is t he fi rst UB m edi cal stude nt to win this aw ard . D r. Shapiro is in terning at Hahnemann Hospital, Philadelphia. I spent the summer of 1967 in the Cardiac Investigation Laboratory at the Buffalo General Hospital continuing on a research project I had begun the preceeding summer and continuing on throughout the past year. This work was done under the guidance of Drs . Colin Grant , David Greene , and Ivan Bunnell. Originally I developed an in viv o model, clinically usable, to measure, with considerable accuracy, the wall thickness of the left ventricle . Clinical angiograms taken at six or twelve frames per second were utilized in this work. Myocardial volume and mass were subsequently calculated by the 7044 IBM Computer at the University Computing Center. Changes in left ventricular wall thickness had not been measured before in the intact human heart. This was done for 25 patients with extremely rewarding results . I have completed a paper with Drs. Colin M. Grant, Ivan L. Bunnell, David G. Greene, and Herman L. Falsetti. The final drafts are now in preparation for submission to either Circulation or Circulation Research . A draft of the summary and conclusion follows: THE BUFF A LO MEDIC A L RE V IEW �The thickness of the left ventricular free wall was measured from clinical angiocardiograms in twenty~five patients using Elema biplane large film angiograms. Wall thicknesses were minimal during late diatole and early systole, and increased markedly (25 to 150 per cent) as the ventricle emptied during systole . The increase was greatest in those ventricles that had undergone concentric hypertrophy following a chronic pressure overload [i.e., in aortic stenosis). Some thickening of the ventricular wall is expected during ejection, as the total volume of a contracting muscle changes negligibly. This effect was examined quantitatively, and accounted for wall thickening seen up to mid-systole, but only for a part of the marked thickening at end-systole. A technique is given for calculating excess wall thickness not due to the isovolumic property of muscle. It was a round-about-route to a medical degree for one 1968 graduate, Dr. Lawrence J. Dobmeier. After graduation from high school he enrolled in Erie County Technical Institute. He was graduated in two years as a chemical technician. While working full time he attended Millard Fillmore College, the night division at the University, nine hours a week and completed his prerequisite requirements for medicine. In 1964 he entered the Medical SchooL At the end of his freshman year in medicine the 29-year-old was awarded a summer fellowship in rehabilitation medicine and the next year received a fellowship in research and clinical cardiology. He reported on his research at the 1967 fall meeting of the American Physiological Society in Washington. He held an AMA scholarship in his junior year, when he was elected to the Gibson Anatomical Honor Society and won the Mosby Award. Dr. Dobmeier is interning at the University of Michigan Affiliated Hospitals.D This excess of measured wall thickness over expected wall thickness is partly attributed to visualization at end-systole of trabeculae carnae and papillary muscles which are invisible in late diastole. Another possible explanation [related to the nature of left ventricular contraction) is indicated. Dr, Alexander Cline was honored at a retirement testimonial dinner June 9, after 50 years as a general practitioner. His two sons, Drs, Paul Cline, M'43, of Buffalo and Steven Cline, M'47, of Atlanta were present.D It is concluded that radiologically-measured wall thickness [and calculated wall stress) at endsystole may not be comparable to measurements made in late diastole. Data in early and midsystole [the period of peak wall stress) do not appear to be disturbed by the effect found at end-systole.D Dr. Morris Unher, M'43, is the new president of the health care staff of the Rosa Coplon Jewish Home and Infirmary. Dr. Maurice A. Pleskow, M'51, is the new vice president; Dr. Robert M. Kohn, assistant clinical professor of medicine, is secretary; and Dr. Bertram G.

Among the landmarks to be found i n the d esign are the Albright- Knox Art Gallery, County Hall, City Hall, the towers of First Presbyterian Church, St. Louis Church and St. Mary of Sorrows Church, the old lighthouse in Buffalo Harbor, Kleinhans Mu sic Hall, and Hayes H all. Th e Peace Bridge appea rs at the very center. FALL, 1968 ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR of medicine has a relaxing hobby. He is Dr. Ivan L. Bunnell, a 1943 graduate of the School of Medicine, who paints for fun . He is also co-director with Dr. David G. Greene of the cardiovascular laboratory at Buffalo General Hospital. Dr. Greene is also professor of clinical research in cardiovascular disease in the School of Medicine. " Sev eral years ago when I was sick my wife, Alic e , brought a little water color set to mtf at the hospital. I gradually got going on it, and it was a good thing. I've had a lot of enjoyment from painting," Dr. Bunnell said. He took several classes with Robert Blair, a skilled water color painter. Now Dr. Bunnell turns out lively, loos ely-brushed water colors. Dr. Bunnell's artistic hobby has enabled him to give to foreign guests who visit his home or office a little memento of Buffalo . "Some years ago we had a guest from Mexico. I told my wife to go downtown and buy him a little reminder of the city. She had a difficult time and told me next time to do it yourself. So I thought I would make something my self that would be pleasing and meaningful. I took a two-day seminar in silk screen techniques offered by the Buffalo Craftsmen. ''Then my wife and I went around town sketching buildings we were particularly fond of. I put them together in the form of a design and made a silk screen print at home in the basement.'' The tasteful design is printed on cloth of different colors with inks in varied hues, and then wrapped around masonite and mounted on burlap. 43 Hobby �The silk screen prints have been taken by pleased visitors to about 60 countries, Dr. Bunnell said. Two water colors in Dr. Bunnell's office are a cluster of quaint old buildings of the old town of Stockholm, and the other of a boy flying a kite. Dr. Bunnell painted it "to show how gay I was in Stockholm. '' Dr. Whit e The physician took his family to Stockholm in 1959 on a six-month sabbatical. He went to learn the techniques of angiocardiography developed by the Swedes, methods of taking rapid sequence photographs for diagnosing diseases involving the arteries. An outgrowth of this experience and of the applications of the Swedish methods in the Buffalo laboratory, led Dr. Bunnell to write a book, "Selective Renal Arteriography," that was published in April by Charles C. Thomas, Springfield, Illinois. Dr. Bunnell and his wife moved to Buffalo 27 years ago from Waterbury, Connecticut.D Dr. Flint Search for Descendants Dr. Hamilton The search is on for the d escendants of the seven physicians who started the School of Medicine May 11, 1846. They were Drs. Austin Flint, Frank H. Hamilton, James Platt White, George Hadley, Charles B. Coventry, Charles A. Lee, and James Webster. 44 Dr. Flint, the professor of principles and practice of medicine and clinical medicine gained fame by establishing that typhoid fever is a waterborne disease. He later left Buffalo and taught in Louisville, New Orleans, and New York. Dr. Hamilton, professor of surgery, performed the first successful skin graft. He, too, subsequently moved to New York City. Dr. White introduced clinical midwifery into the college curriculum for the first time in the United States. Dr. Coventry died in Utica in 1875. He was professor of physiology and medical jurisprudence at the University. Dr. Hadley was professor of chemistry; Dr. Lee professor of pathology and materia medica; and Dr. Webster professor of general and special anatomy. He died in Louisville, in 1854. Gradually the University expanded. A School of Pharmacy was opened in 1886, a School of Law in 1891, a School of Dentistry the following year. The first Chancellor of the University was Millard Fillmore, who held the post for 28 years, even while President of the United States. Lectures in Arts and Sciences were introduced in 1913 when the Committee on Medical Education of the AMA ruled that medical schools must require at least one preliminary year in such studies. About the same time the University acquired the old county almshouse property on the Main-Bailey site that has, since 1920, been its campus. Today the University, which started with a faculty of seven and a student enrollment of 66, has a faculty of approximately 3,500, and a student body of 21,000. Very soon construction will begin on the new Amherst Campus.D THE BUFFALO MED ICA L REVIEW �Dr. Richard Ament, M'42, is the new president of the Jewish Center of Buffalo.

The laboratory, located in Sherman Hall, examines samples from I patients submitted by physicians, hospitals and the Erie County Health Department to determine if viruses are present and what those viruses are. Directing the laboratory is Dr. David T. Karzon, professor of pediatrics. The associate director is Dr. Almen L. Barron, associate professor of virology. "Our principal service is the diagnosis for a physician of what exactly is ailing his patient. Speed. is the important thing here, and fast correct diagnosis can often prevent the spread of virus, or alert the medical community of outbreaks of virus which they can prepare to treat,'' Dr. Karzon said. Dr. Barron said, "the local health picture is aided by the availability of the laboratory, because of its speed and interest and especially by .its ability to adapt and acquire diagnostic materials for all virus outbreaks .'' The virology staff also conducts analys es of tissue from autopsies. The lab's examination last year of a student thought to have died of meningitis found the cause of death to be encephalitis, a far less menacing disease. ''The analysis of virus also has its preventive side. Laboratory work on polio and rubella occurences are primary examples of the fight to prevent disease. The lab analyzes every case of polio to see if it is vaccine-induced, or caused by a virus in circulation, " Dr. Karzon said. 48 ''The laboratory also uses a speedy, simple test to determine a woman's susceptibility to rubella virus, which causes anomalies in children if contacted in the first three months of pregnancy . ''D Dr. Grant Fisher, M'25, a Buffalo surgeon and golfer, won the Canadian Cup Golf Tournament at the Palm Beach National Golf and Country Club in May.

Melant, an ear, nose and throat specialist who lives in West Seneca, New York. The physician is a World War II buff and an amateur expert on the Hitler era (1933-1945). Despite the tremendous amount of research done on the Third Reich by professionals, Dr. Melant continues to unearth new and interesting facts about life in a society that was built, according to Hitler, to last 1,000 years, but in reality, lasted only 12 years. After his graduation he lived as a young doctor in the 85th Field Hospital, United States Army in Germany. Dr . Melant has more than 1,000 books on this era as well as signatures and pictures of Hitler, Goering and other Nazi hoodlums tried by the Allies at Nuremberg, and the once-coveted Iron Cross decoration .D FALL, 1968 49 People �New Type of Heart Surgery Two School of Medicine faculty members performed a new type of heart surgery on three patients at different times in late 1966 and 1967 at Buffalo General and Veterans Administration Hospitals. One of the three men who underwent this new type of heart surgery still survives. Dr. George Schimert, associate professor of surgery, and Dr. Andrew A. Gage, M'44, assistant clinical professor in surgery, performed the operations. This was revealed by Dr. Herman L. Falsetti, resident instructor in medicine, at the 49th annual American College of Physicians meeting in Boston in April. Four other faculty members assisted Dr. Falsetti in the akinesis diagnosis: Drs . Ivan L. Bunnell, M'43, associate professor of medicine; David C. Dean; assistant professor of medicine; Colin Grant, assistant resident professor of medicine; and David Greene, professor of clinical research in cardiovascular disease. Dr. Falsetti d escribed the operation as openheart surgery supplemented by the us e of a heartlung machine. Removal of the diseased area of the heart results in more efficient heart action, he said. The patients were men in their late 40's. Two died about three to four months following surgery. Dr. Falsetti said that within the past two months (F ebruary and March) two other men had undergone the same type of surgery in Buffalo and both survive, but that he considers it "premature" at present to report further on their cases. 50 Dr. Falsetti estimated that akinesis probably occurs in about 10 per cent of persons with heart congestion ailments . It afflicts both men and women, usually in later life.D Dr . Daniel J. Fahey, M'48, was named by Governor Nelson Rockefeller to an 8-year term on the State University of Buffalo Council.

Russell Jr., assistant clinical professor of medicine, was honored in April as the "Episcopal Layman of the Year". The Rt. Rev . Lauriston L. Scaife, Episcopal Bishop of W estern New York told Dr. Russell: "Hundreds of individuals have b enefited from your expert diagnosis and treatment, which, with your compassionate concern for them as persons, is in the noblest tradition of the art of Christian healing. Many have testified to your willingness to go beyond the call of duty to minister to your fellow man. Because you offer the skills of your chosen profession with sup erb competence and Christian compassion, spontaneously blended with healthful humor and a momentary respite for reflection, we salute you.

Owned and operated by the County of Erie, the law specifically states that all who are sick and apply for care, regardless of financial status, must be admitted. Dr. Harry W. Hale, Jr ., Associate Director of Surgery at the hospital, pointed out that approximately one-half of the clinical teaching for medical students is done at the Meyer. It is here where the major portion of the teaching of trauma is accomplished . This is where the largest psychiatric residency program in the area is located. Approximately 80% of all ophthalmologists in the area receive all or part of their training at the hospital, and surprising as it may seem, about one-third of all practicing pediatricians as well. The hospital was named after Dr. Edward J. Meyer, an 1891 graduate of the School of Medicine. In 1920, through his efforts, an agreement was reached between the Medical School and the Buffalo City Hospital w h ereby appointments to the hospital medic al staff would b e approved by the Medical School. In return, the University promised to accept sponsorship for the medical and surgical care of all patients and to develop the hospital as a teaching center. Today all staff m embers are on the faculty of the School of Medicine. At the Meyer is found the only acute alcoholic s ervice in Erie County, the treatment of tub erculosis from diagnosis to completion of therapy, the only amputee clinic operated jointly by surgery, orthopedic, rehabilitation services in Western New York, and the only bone pathology laboratory in Western New York.

They are Dr. David K. Miller, professor of medicine and former head of the department of medicine at Meyer from 1937-1967, and Dr. John D. Stewart , who headed the hospital's department of surgery from 1941-1965 and retired from the School of Medicine after 24 years of service. At the Meyer the students see and participate in the delivery of health care. They become more aware that the practice of medicine is a group responsibility, and they learn to work closely with others. Dr. Meyer's goals -care of the patient, teaching, research - are still today's goals . In this picture story we have shown medical students in a teaching-learning situation in one of the most comprehensive health-care centers in Western New York.D Senior Arden Kane examines a patie nt Bruce Stoesser examines a hand -....--~- Dr. Edward G. E sch ner's X -ray class �Australian Medical Practice (Superficial Impressions) by Stuart L. Vaugh an, M '24 Dr. Vaughan I WAS IN PART OF AUSTRALIA for 11 days and therefore lay claims to expert knowledge (?)of medicine as practiced in that country. Since this was my first and probably my last trip down under, I had other things on my mind. Much of seven days was taken up with meetings and functions related to the International Congress of "Haematology. " This afforded some opportunity to see and hear Australian doctors, to exchange ideas with them and to observe some of the hospitals and medical school units in the University of Sydney complex. The numerous convivial social functions also provided unique opportunities for discussion of medical affairs and other topics in relaxed, downto-earth and mutually informative atmospheres. However , my busy medical schedule did not prevent extra curricular activities such as exploring the beautiful Botany Bay Harbor, visiting the famous Sydney Zoo, examining the world renowned opera hous e, bird watching in Hyde Park, and wining Dr. Vaugha n received his M.D. in 1924. He was president of the General Alumni Association in 1966-67 . H e ha s a fa culty appointm ent as Clinical Professor of Medicine. and dining in places providing interesting extremes of culinary excellence and entertainment. Our visit was made in the middle of Australian winter. We arrived in Sydney August 19th, having been somew hat cooled-off in New Zealand w here the prev ailing temperature was 40 indoors and out. Those who warned us that indoor h eating was inadequate were right, 100 percent. In Australia the temperature was 50 and often v ery comfortable in the midday sun. Also, Mrs . Vaughan and I were most for tunate in choosing the Menzies Hotel that had central heating. But permit me to tell you that if there is anything w rong with medical practice in either New Zealand or Australia, it begins with the chronic frostbite and deepfreeze that settles in the lecture theaters and other rooms at the University . If this seems exaggerated , so be it. A few facts about Australia are essential fo r background information. The area of 3,000 ,000 square miles is about that of the U .S.A. prior to the admittance of Hawaii and Alaska. Only a little more than one-tenth is agricultural in any real sense. This portion is inhabited by some 6,000,000 iCo n tinue d) 10 TH E BUFFALO M EDICAL REV I EW �people. The rest of the country is the "out-back," an arid, almost desert-like country of 127,000,000 sheep, smaller numbers of cattle and horses , many rabbits and kangaroos, and some 60,000 aborigines. This " out-back" presents many difficult problems, for the future of Australia and for the present in relation to medical care, education , transportation, and the like. What doctors or nurses would like to live and work in places so far apart, with so few people, most of whom are poor? That is why the government tries to solve the problems with aid stations and traveling medical and educational teams. Australian society in general is small, British and democratic in ways that we might consider peculiar. In the 200 years of its existence it has been jealous of its racial integrity. There are almost no non-caucasians except the aborigines who are chocolate brown. The labor class has dominated the political atmosphere. They speak of the Aristocracy of Labor and the Workingman's Paradise . The basic ideals are sobriety, ability and common sense - personally, I would add the terms thrift and conservatism. All of this suggests a strong trend toward socialization but with differences. Many functions are socialized but there is also much free enterprise. There are varieties of health insurance plans, ostensibly voluntary, but encouraged to the point where they are almost compulsory. I believe most of the physical facilities in medical care are government owned and controlled. This refers to hospitals, clinics, and medical schools. Many physicians in institutions are salaried but many practice private medicine . Pa tients have the right of choice . Doctors practice private medicine in the community hospitals, exactly as though they were private hospitals . From all I could learn, the arrangement is most satisfactory to the doctors although there is reason to think that doctors do not get rich. I believe Australian physicians to be excellent. Many of them attended our meetings and they certainly compared favorably with groups of medical people anywhere. They emanate an aura of good breeding, good humor, education , training, confidence , and common sense . Many r eceived part or all of their education in England, Canada or the United States. Medical science is on the move in Australia. At our Congress some 62 scientific papers were read by Australians from four medical schools and five other scientific institutions . These papers represented an abundance of original and applied experimentation. There were rumors of a flight of top-notch scientific talent to the U .S .A. and elsew h ere. It could be true because financial and scientific opportunities could be competitive with the thrifty, cautious attitude of Australians. However , it is obvious that the whole of Australia has a forward look. It is making determined efforts to take its place in the forward '' March of Modern Medical Progress." It is a land of opportunity with reservations. People with n eeded skills , talents, and bank accounts can strike it rich in Australia, but it would be a mistake to get a gold-rush fever and think you can hit the jackpot easily. Think it ov er! Our most enlightening experience was our visit to the District Hospital of Kurri Kurri. W e were (Con tinue d) SUMMER, 1968 11 �the guests of Superintendent Kenneth Kingsford who had visited friends of ours in Buffalo during a hospital inspection tour. The early morning train ride to New Castle was delightful as was our auto ride to Kurri Kurri. The hospital is a neat, snug set of buildings with a main unit and some separate pavilions and service areas . It w as exceedingly clean, quiet and fri endly . The buildings were of red brick and the roofs of red tile . It was a one-floor plan with no elevators, of course . The staff, the nurs es , the attendents and the patients s eemed like a happy family. No yelling, no screaming, no clutter. Mrs. Vaughan and I were given the grand tour by Kenneth, his assistant , the matron, and a student nurse . There were no computers, no air conditioners, no electric typewriters. There was only one private room in the whole hospital and that was in the maternity pavilion. The " boss " proudly told us that there was not a single ' '$700 ' ' bed in the place. The surgical operating rooms had simple equipment and were lighted by outside w indows . The laboratories were small and the number of tests p er patient obviously only a fraction of what is done at Buffalo General Hospital. There are no automatic counters or pipettes but there was an active unit for electrophoresis. Before going to lunch, I was given a hand towel to take with me to the lavatory . I believe each worker was assigned his individual towel. Lunch was a special affair obviously prepared with great care for the guests. There was a choice of chicken or lamb and wine was served. The food was served on platters and tureens and was delicious and the whole affair a leisurely and pleasant function. After completing the hospital tour , w e visited 12 Kenneth's home and met his wife of two years and their infant daughter . The house w as one of a row formerly occupied by coal miners . It b elonged to the Hospital but w as being r emodeled and r edecorated piecemeal by Kenneth and his wife . There was a bathroom but the toilet w as in a separate building behind the home . The w ater closet was conn ected w ith a sewer and had a chain pull. Our h osts were proud of their home w hich was not basically unlike most of thos e in town. Their project of modernization w as planned as a long term affair. They proudly expressed their own and Australia's philosophy about the virtu es of thrift and the avoidanc e of w aste not only in priv ate life but in the government hospitals as w ell. Kenneth said that his observations of w hat seemed to b e unnec essary wastefulness in our country made a great impression upon him and made him resolv e to avoid it in A ustralia. In that country we found no sympathy w ith the '' w aste prosperity" philosophy . We were informed that the Kurri Kurri district hospital w as typical of the government hospitals . The equipment , surroundings, and attitudes w ere much like that of our own Buffalo priv at e hospitals in 1920. Profes sional activities seemed to b e about the same also , except for the updating of pr ocedures. Obviously, the new things of proven value and practicality w ere adopted w ithin the fram ework of th eir economy. This has b een an account of impr essions gained from a brief and superficial observ ation.

Eighteen others will go to hospitals in New York State, 10 to hospitals in California, and 26 to hospitals in 14 other states. Three others will intern in the United States Public Health hospitals, one in an Army hospital and one in an Air Force hospital. All of the seniors participated in the National Intern Matching Program sponsored by the American Association of Medical Colleges to '' match'' the desires of hospitals for specific interns and those of prospective interns for specific hospitals. All medical students, during their senior year, indicate the hospitals in which they would like to intern in order of preference . The hospitals indicate the seniors whom they would like to have as interns. This program matches them as closely as possible. The complete intern matching list: University Hospitals, Madison, Wis. A.

Paul Longstreth, M.D. '45 president Medical Alumni Association THIRTY-TWO YEARS AGO THE Medical Alumni Association of the State University of New York at Buffalo was founded. One of its aims has been providing scholarships to needy and deserving medical students who needed financial assistance to help complete their medical education. Another project carried out has been the Spring Clinical Days at which time a scientific program has brought together many noted medical scientists and clinicians to discuss current problems in the medical field. These two major aims have been very successful and each year we are striving to do even better. However, we feel one of the most important aspects of any alumni organization is to represent their respective alumni. To properly represent any body of people one must have an enrollment encompassing the majority. The present membership in our Medical Alumni Association unfortunately is only one-fourth of the graduates of the medical school. If every graduate became a dues paying member of the organization and let their feelings and thoughts be known to their officers, a stronger Medical Alumni Association would ensue. The graduates of our medical school are living and working in all parts of these United States and abroad, contributing greatly to the field of medicine in all of its aspects. They have become involved in the many and different medical settings 18 and thus enabling them to hav e new ideas and thoughts with respect to the future in medicine. Getting together, pooling our thoughts and aims on a common ground to further continued progress in our medical school and medical education in general, seems to us to be a logical and constructive approach for our Medical Alumni Organization. Our medical school is rapidly b ecoming a much larger part of a mushrooming university educational system in the State of New York. It seems only a natural sequence for the Medical Alumni Association to become a larger and more important organization in helping to formulate medical educational policies in the future. We realize that this is a relatively new approach for an alumni group, but in our estimation a natural, logical, practical, realistic and constructive one. Actually , the Medical Alumni Association is the soun ding board or spokesman for approximately 3,000 living alumni of the medical school. Let us all become, and continu e to be , active dues-paying members of the Medical Alumni Association. We could expand our scholarships to more needy and deserving medical students. Also , our Sprin'g Clinical Days could become a larger and more actively attended medical meeting each year. By being active members of the Alumni Association, proper and complete representation of the group could be more fully realized.D THE BU FFALO MEDICAL RE'V IEW �31st Annual Spring Clinical Days " NEARLY A LL HIPPIES 99 per cent of the men and 97 per cent of the women - smoke marijuana for relaxation and take LSD for spiritual understanding of themselves and the world. The hippie is usually from a middle class background and thinks that middle class society is dead. " That is what Dr. David E. Smith, medical director of Haight-Asbury Medical Clinic , San Francisco, told some 400 physicians, students, and faculty at the 31st annual Spring Clinical Days at the University. ''The hippie wants to formulate a parallel culture with his own institutions , to develop his own philosophy. He deliberately disassociates himself from political life, believes society should have no leaders , that all should share and that money should be replaced by a barter system . "Adults who criticize youthful 'drug addicts' often abuse one powerful drug - alcohol - themselves. Eight per cent of all adults us e alcohol and one in 20 of those who use it abuse it,'' Dr. Smith said. At the lOth annual Stoc.kton Kimball Memorial Luncheon Dr. William B . Bean , professor of medicine at the University of Iowa, traced Walter Reed's contributions to the control of typhoid and yellow fever. Dr. Bean portrayed Walter Reed as a brilliant man who made many significant contributions. Walter Reed was '' A Doctor of the Community'' wherever he went. "Many of Walter Reed 's contributions were published by someone else who took the credit,' ' Dr. Bean said .

T he final Saturday afternoon session. �will probably start in 1969 on a $4.7 million Community Mental Health Center adjacent to the Buffalo General Hospital. The center will be operated in cooperation with the School of Medicine's psychiatry department. Dr. S. Mouchly Small said, "the proposed facility is an active living center which involves people, and is not just brick and mortar. It will care for an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 persons annually." Dr. Small is chairman of the psychiatric department both at the School of Medicine and at Buffalo General Hospital. He is also professor of psychiatry at the University. The proposed center (approximately 900 ,000 square feet) will consist of two three-story buildings connected by a one-level structure in campus style architecture . It will be built north of the new addition along High Street and will be connected with the main hospital by a tunnel under Goodrich Street. One three-story building will house a facility to serve 60 in-patients, a 24-hour emergency admitting service, and a clinic for children to be operated bv the Psychiatric Clinic Incorporated. This clinic will move from its' present location in the Central Park Shopping Plaza when the center is completed. The other three-story building will be a central union somewhat like a student union on a college campus. This would be the focal point for people attending the center. Here would be the occupa- CoNSTRUCTION SUMMER, 1968 tiona! and activity areas for both in-patients and out-patients. This is where work and rehabilitation will be emphasized. A gymnasium is also planned. The one-story building would have connecting corridors, dining facilities and administrative offices. Other major projects will be available for patients such as cooking. laundromat , and automobile repair. Partial operational plans for the center revolves around the team approach. Each of the six teams will be composed of a psychiatrist , clinical psychologist, psychiatric social worker, mental health worker, psychiatric public health nurse and resident physician. This team approach was developed by Dr. Small and Dr. Irving A. Jacobs, associate professor of psychology. As an assistant to Dr. Small, Dr. Jacobs is in charge of community mental health services and a clinical psychologist. The center will both reach out by house calls, bring people to it, and use the traditional appro ach of waiting for clients to come to it. The teams would rotate on a 24-hour basis. Once a team received a client, it would continue caring for him whether he is experiencing in-patient or outpatient care, or after-care. The center has a $1,557,666 grant from the United States Public Health Service. The hospital is seeking $1.6 million from the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene and $1,523,000 from the Erie County Mental Board.D 23 Community Mental Health Center �BATAVIA • GENESEE MEMORIAL VETERAN'S ADMIN WARSAW • WYOMING HOSPITAL • CUBA MEMORI AL JAMESTOWN • OLEAN GENERAL HOSPITAL • WCA HOSPITAL WELLSVILLE • JONES MEMORIAL Two-way Telecommunication Networl~ or the lack of it, may often spell the differenc e between success or failure of organizations and well-meaning programs. In an effort to help solve the problem of the "information gap," the Health Organization for Western New York, in a joint effort w ith the Continuing Education division of the State University of New York at Buffalo, School of Medicine, has established a two-way telecommunication n etwork system which is designed to link the hospitals of Western New York and Erie County , Pennsylvania, and other regions, with the Continuing Education departments of the University's Schools of Medicine and Nursing and Roswell Park Memorial Institute . CoMMUNI CATION 24 The initial phase of the network is a pilot program of nine we eks duration which began April 2. Following the initial period, the Health Organiganization of Western New York, which is the advisory group to the Regional Medical Program, will continue the lecture series under its own aegis. Lectures for both physicians are transmitted on separate days. The programs consist of a thirty minute lecture followed by discussion for the remaining half hour. Some of the presentations will include slides and printed materials . Fourteen hospitals , spread throughout the Western New York region and representing every county in the Regional M edical Program area, will make up the first phas e of the combined project. They include W.C.A.

A highly individualized and informal program, selected students, with an interest in research and teaching careers, combine the study of medicine with advanced studies in one of the basic medical sciences. Selection of candidates, as well as their specific course of study and research , are determined individually through consultation with the student's department of choice. Programs usually alternate periods of study in the medical and the graduate schools. By taking summer course work, a prospective candidate may expect to receive a combined degree within a minimum of six years or he may extend to six and one-half or seven years to complete research and thesis work. Stipends , including graduate tuition fees, are often available to support students during their graduate work period. Two graduates [both in Physiology) of the combined program are Franklin Knox , M'65 and Richard Lederman, M '66. Dr. Knox, whose thesis on renal physiology was carried out under the guidance of Dr. Donald W. Rennie, graduated in six years. Continuing his interest in physiology, h e decided against an internship and went directly into a two-year commitment with the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Lederman, who will become a neurologist, also completed the program in six years. His thesis, under Dr. Werner Noell, concentrated on the excitation and inhibition of 26 vessel pathways. Following his internship at Albert Einstein Medical School, he started his two-year tour of duty with NIH. Currently enrolled in the program are Roger J. Ferguson, '69 [Anatomy); Bruce Rabin, '69 [Bacteriology and Immunology) ; and Frank Zavisca, '69 [Biochemistry). Roger Ferguson and Bruce Rabin in the lab. THE BU FFALO MED ICAL REVIEW �(MD.-PhD. Program Cont' d.) Completing two years of graduate work in bacteriology and immunology, Bruce Rabin found that his primary interest was in immunology research. He enrolled in the Medical School and entered the combined program at the end of his sophomore year. His research project, financed through a NIH fellowship, is the study of the immunological competency of circulating leukocytes, to find out whether white cells can synthesize antibodies in nonorganized lymphoid tissue areas, where cells become sensitized, and how they can be attracted to different sites to release their antibodies. He will graduate in June 1969. Roger Ferguson, with a year of graduate work in Anatomy, entered the Medical School. He was interested in research, wanted to teach, and felt that academic medicine would allow him more time to call his own. The six years of attending school on a 12-month basis has made it seem "almost a way of life .'' His research project, financed through an Anatomy Teaching Assistantship, centers on an electron microscopic study on degeneration and regeneration of bone marrow in rats maintained on the drug Methotrexate . This drug, a folic acid antagonist, inhibits cell division, a clinically-used technique to maintain remission in leukemia. The effect of Methotrexate in people has never before b een studied. He will return in the fall to complete his senior medical year and Ph.D. thesis and will graduate in June 1969 . " Regardless of what I decide to do in the future , I have everything to gain by going through this combined program," Mr. Ferguson said.D SUMMER, 1968 The relationship between respiratory disease in school children and air pollution will be studied by the preventive medicine d epartment of the School of Medicine . The New York State Department of Health awarded a $147,908 contract for the three-year study. The project has the full approval of the Erie County Health Department and the Buffalo Board of Education. Chief investigators for the study are Dr. W arren Winkelstein Jr. , professor of preventive medicine, and Dr. E. Peter Isacson, associate professor of preventive medicine. Mr. Anthony F . Kehrer is project director. Dr. Isacson said, "air pollution levels and infection rates in school children have been studied separately many times , but this project represents the first time they are being studied together in the same group.'' A high-volume air sampler will be placed on the school roof to determine the amount of pollution in the air. A special type of analyzer will measure industrial fumes. The study w ill b e carried out in three or more local area schools. Students participating must have written consent of their parents . Tests on the children will take only a few seconds. They will have blood tests at the beginning and end of the study, a weekly throat examination , four finger prick blood tests throughout the study - to continue through the next school year-and a weekly test of breathing capacity, made by blowing air through a small spirometer. The parents will also b e asked to submit a monthly record of colds and illnesses of their children.D 27 Pollution, Respiratory Disease Study Dr. Wi nkelstcin Dr. Jsacson M r. Kehrer �APF.NlE Sumn'ler examine and then discuss with Dr. Metcalf before he saw them. After our discussion, I would write prescriptions and laboratory orders for the patients . On h ouse calls we both checked the patients and watched their progress. In the hospital , I got experience in writing progress notes, orders, admission and discharge notes, and in doing narrative summaries . I also learned about the extra responsibilities of staff members. The summer' s experiences were far beyond my initial expectations of viewing the life of a general practitioner and his role in modern medicine. Association with a group practice demonstrated one approach to some of the problems of medicine today such as keeping informed of the advances in medicine, meeting one ' s hospital staff responsibilities , having time for each patient w hile leading a normal family life . Although it is an arduous Fellowsbip by Penney Gardner Class of 1969 (Confinued ) Penny and D r. M etcalf examine a patient at the nursing home . Penny Gardner consults tcith Drs. Harry L. M etcaif and Herbert joyce about the day 's schedule. ~EN I LOOK BACK OVER MY SUMMERS in medical school, I am sure the one I spent on a General Practice APFME Fellowship will stand out as the most enjoyable and the most valuable. Although my preceptor was Dr. Harry L. M etcalf, I was working in the offices of Drs. Joyc e, Haines, and M etcalf, and therefore had three preceptors . My entire summer was spent with Dr. Metcalf doing office rounds, house calls, and hospital rounds. In the office I had my own patients to I �task for each doctor in the group to keep up with all the patients of the entire group, this system allows the hospital to be covered all day, every day, with each man on call every third night and every third weekend. Such a system also makes it possible for yearly vacation time, time to attend meetings and conferences, and time to work on special projects. This fellowship also gave me a glimpse of an exciting "new" area of medicine- family practice. In this field one deals with entire families, and thus, a tremendous range of problems. Although a patient may be referred to a specialist for some particular problems or treatment, one always gets a followup on the results and the reactions of the family. Thus, one is treating the whole person. With a large enough family, one is always living through some medical crisis with the family. In addition the summer has been a most valuable clinical experience . There were problems in so many areas of medicine. Some of the dermatological cases treated at the office were - thrush, poison ivy, herpes zoster, molluscum contagiosum, pediculosis corporis, dermatitis nervosum, rash of avitaminosis A, and cheilosis. Descensus of the cervix and vagina, twisted ovarian cyst, endothelioma, squamous cell carcinoma of vulva, stenosis of the external cervical os , and Nabothian cysts were some of the cases in gynecology . In orthopedics I had experience with - olecranon bursitis, Osgood Schlatter 's disease, osteopetrosis of the sagital suture of the skull , aseptic necresis of the head of the femur, and a possible osteogenic sarcoma. There were many geriatric problems: ASHD, arthritis, chronic brain syndrome, hypertension, and prostatism. In surgery I scrubbed SUMMER, 1968 A patient is examin rd later at another nursing home. for a twisted ovarian cyst, an attempted portal caval shunt, and exchange transfusion on a newborn. Some of the more unusual cases I was exposed to included - anti-c incompatibility in an A positive baby with an A positive mother , cancer of the tail of the pancreas, Tsetse syndrome, mycoplasm pneumonia, Turner 's syndrome and alopecia areata. As Dr. Metcalf is a clinical hypnotist , I was exposed to this very fascinating area of medicine, especially its use in obstetrics and weight reduction. Thus the summer was an excellent introduction to clinical medicine . I learned how to appro ach the patient with confidence, to take a history , and to do a physical examination pertinent to the patient 's chief complaint. With the help of my preceptor, I would then begin to put the pieces together in order to outline an approach to the care and treatment of the patient. In addition, I could follow up the patient to see the effect of medications and treatment. D 29 �Health Organization (Cont'd from Page 25 ) tauqua , Allegan y and Erie County, Penns ylvania .

Dr. Carnivale (Sullivan) is a specialist in chest and pulmonary diseases . She did her post-graduate work at the J.N . Adam Memorial Hospital, Perrysburg, N.Y . , a tuberculosis institution at that time. Dr. Kazmierczak interned at Children's Hospital and served 23 years with Buffalo's Health Department. She introduced mass immunization in the early 1920's by inoculating children at German Roman Catholic Orphanage against diphtheria during an epidemic. It was so successful that the state adopted the slogan ' 'wipe out diphtheria by 1930," and almost did. Dr. Kazmierczak served on the Board of Education from 1947 to 1957, and was president several years . In 1957 she was named New York State Medical Woman of the Year by the American Medical Women's Association. Dr. Mercer was president of his class.

F urnas �lin •rmnriam Dr. William J. Orr, M'20, died February 14. He had taught in the School of Medicine since 1924, rising from assistant to clinical professor of pediatrics. His long-time leadership brought national recognition to himself, Children's Hospital, and the University. Dr. Orr had cared for three generations of children, taught two generations of medical students . He also found time to serve his community and his University. He had been chairman of the Erie County Medical Society's Advisory Committee on Polio since the early days of the Salk Vaccine. Dr. Orr was the former president of the Society, as well as the 8th district branch of the State Medical Society, the Buffalo Academy of Medicine. the Children ' s Hospital Medical Board, the General Alumni Board (1953-54) and the Medical Alumni Association of the University. Dr . Orr headed the Medical Division of the University's centennial drive more than 20 years ago. In 1962 the Buffalo Pediatric Society honored him for his " outstanding contribution to pediatrics and for his important role in establishing Buffalo as a pediatric center.'' He was elected to the Council of the University in 1956 and was appointed to that body by Governor Rockefeller when the University became affiliated with the State University. During the later years of the University's existence as a private institution, it became obvious that the Medical School needed an increased budget to meet the burgeoning needs of the times. Dr. Orr helped found the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education, through which area 38 physicians contributed to the support ofthe school' s basic science departments. H e served for several years on the executive committee of the fund. Many diseases once co mmonplace among children declined and virtually vanished during his lifetime . Dr. Orr rejoiced particularly in the eradication of polio by the Salk and Sabin vaccines. In 1956, The Buffalo Evening News named him one of the year's 10 outstanding citizens for helping to obtain an institution for mentallyretarded children in West Sen eca. Two years later the University honored him with its Samuel Paul Capen Alumni Award. Dr. Orr interned at Buffalo General Hospital and served as a resident physician in pediatrics at Children's Hospital. He subsequently spent two years at Johns Hopkins H ospital and Medical School in Baltimore.

The $300,000 a year contract for a minumum of two years is from the Office of Naval Research of the United States Department of Defense. Dr. Leon E. Far hi, professor of physiology, will head the project. Working with him will be Dr. Hermann Rahn , chairman of the physiology department, Dr. Edward H. Lanphier, associate professor of psysiology and Dr. Donald W . Rennie , professor of physiology, and other faculty members. ' 'Project Themis'' covers a center of excellence type program designed to strengthen the scientific and engineering capabilities of selected academic institutions and enable them to carry out high quality research . A total of 50 proposals were THE PHYSIOLOGY DEPARTMENT selected from 479 submitted by 171 institutions. Eight of the 50 are in the medical and paramedical sciences. The contract to the School of Medicine is one of the first 17 awarded. Dr. Farhi said, " the r esearch program will explore problems of abnormal pressures , temperatures, gas compositions and gravity. It will range from the effects of exposure to high altitudes to the survival and performance of man in the sea.' ' The University will build an addition of approximately 1 ,300 square feet adjacent to Capen Hall. ThB new facilities will include a human centrifuge , a circular submersion tank, and a very high-pressure chamber with a capacity equivalent to 1,500 feet of water . The chamber will have a wet compartment which will not only allow the subject to be exposed to the pressure changes but to the actual water environment encountered during a dive. The building will be completed in the fall of 1968 . The program will remain on the Main Street campus following the university move to Amherst. One of the environmental conditions to b e studied is exposure to high altitudes . Dr. Rahn , when starting his career in physiology , was one of the first scientists in the nation to study human requirements during ascent to altitude. Another study will be survival and performance of man in the sea, an area of continuing department interest. Both Dr. Rahn and Dr. Rennie have conducted fie ld expeditions to Korea to study women divers. The department 's interest in high pressures , under Dr. Lanphier's guidance , radiates into the community. B THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REV I EW �The central laboratory in the new complex will enclose the centrifuge, submergence facility and running track. The centrifuge will permit animal experimentation a·s well as work with humans. The circular submergence facility, placed around the centrifuge pit, will have an outside diameter of approximately 70 feet, a depth of 8 feet and a width of 8 feet. This design allows swimmers to swim for long periods of time without having to turn around, as would be the case in a conventional pool. In addition, the centrifuge motor will be able to run at extremely low speeds. This will allow a rotating platform to precede or follow the swimmer and obtain valuable measurements. It is also possible to use this system to pull a swimmer through the water, measuring the drag. At intermediate speeds, the monitoring platform will be used to obtain measurements on subjects running on a banked track outside the submergence facility. The speed of the monitoring platform will be adjustable, allowing either to impose a pre-selected speed on the runner or swimmer, or to follow the subjects at the rate they select spontaneously. The novel design of this combined facility will lead to substantial savings in area and costs and will also bring into closer contact scientists working on different aspects of environmental physiology. The high pressure chamber, which will be able to simulate dives to 1500 feet below sea level is shown in an adjacent room, with its dry and wet compartments. SPRING, 1968 Not shown . in this architect's drawing is the central computer room. This will receive signals from any of the various laboratories and process them instantaneously. The results will be transmitted immediately to the experimental laboratory so that the researcher will be able to determine the need for additional measurements or modifications in the setup .• 3 �Dr. Thomas McKeown Speal~s at Student Convocation EsPITE INCREASED S PECIALIZATION in the medical field, we do want personal medical care. And most people need the continuing care of one physician. '' That 's what a British medical authority told the 400 medical students at the annual convocation. ''D Dr. Thomas McKeown, professor of social medicine at the University of Birmingham, said that ''most of us come into medicine , which is already fixed in a definite framework.' ' Dr. McKeo wn He suggested that students maintain a broad outlook and recognize the need for progressive change. ''Th e first profound change in medicine came with the construction of hospitals ,'' Dr. McKeown said. " There ought to be some degree of specialization in all forms of medical practice. But specialization can go too far, resulting in the loss of personal care and loss of care at home. " We should be able to diminish the role of the doctor as a family adviser , particularly when the doctor's role is required for all members of a family unit." Dr. McKeown stressed the importanc e of continuity of medical care between the hospital and home . He also indicated that physicians should accept the responsibility for care of the elderly, sick and pyschiatric patients in the home. In some 4 Medical Alumni Association Presiden t Dr. Charles F. Banas presents out standing achievem ent award to Gerald E . Daigler. areas there is a gulf between medical care within and without the hospital. ''It is difficult to predict how m edical practice will change in the next 50 to 100 years. No one person has all the answers ," Dr. McKeown concluded. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Eighteen academic awards were presented to medical students at the annual conv ocation. Dean Douglas M. Surgenor, Provost of the Health Sciences Faculty, presided, and pre.sented most of the awards, except as noted. The Pfizer Award for highest achievement in all three years went to Mr. Jonathan C.

Rothman, winner of two awards. �A Center for Immunology Dr. Witebsky There will be a new Center for Immunology in the School of Medicine. Dr. Ernest Witebsky, distinguished professor and former chairman of the bacteriology and immunology department, will be the Center's first director . Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, prov ost for Health Sciences and dean of the School of Medicine, said, ''by establishing the new Center for Immunology the University shows its commitment to the field of immunology. We are confident that this will attract new support for continuation of Dr. Witebsky ' s investigations on the basic immunological aspects of various diseases including cancer immunology and auto-immunity, the new concept of disease caused by sensitization against one's own tissue, transplantation of organs, and blood transfusion. ''The new Center will preserve and further encourage immunological research in Buffalo. It will serve as the focus for immunology and will provide a stimulating atmosphere to foster research collaboration in immunology between all departments in the School of Medicine, the Health Sciences, and those in the medical community interested in immunology. ''We are in the process of changing the name of the department of bacteriology and immunology to the department of microbiology to reflect the importance of building new strengths in the broad field of microbiology for the Health Sciences.'' 6 Dr . Witebsky said, " the emphasis will be on in-depth study and high quality performance on a teamwork basis . We will continue to perform our basic studies on the nature and manife stations of immunologic responses , to better understand the factors responsible for the resistanc e or lack of resistance against disease . We will also attempt to aid in closing the gap betw een the results of research obtained in the laboratory and its direct application to the patient. ' ' The new Center will have many members of the bacteriology and immunology department- Drs. Felix Milgram, James F. Mohn , Noel R. Rose, Ernst H. Beutner, Almen L. Barron , and Joseph H.

Existing teaching programs will be supported and graduate and postgraduate teaching w ill be extended. The new Center will also participate in improving the service functions for hospitals and for practitioners in medicine and dentistry through the introduction of new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures . In connection with the n ew Center, the W orld Health Organization will establish a regional reference center for the Americas to aid in the research, teaching, and training of this large area of immunology. • TH E BUFFALO M EDIC A L REV IEW �B ET TER H EALTH through affiliation has been the 113-year-old theme of The Buffalo General Hospital and the School of Medicine. Both have this common goal. By working togeth er, in teachinglearning situations, better health has come to the community . From the day it was fo unded in 1855 (nine years after the Medical School) The Buffalo General Hosp ital has b een known as a ' 'teaching ho spital ,'' but the care and we lfare of the patient has always been paramount. Through the years The Buffalo General Hospit al staff has been devoted not only to the patient, but also to the teaching and training of futu re phys icians - medical students. A lmost without exception , the doctors at The Buffalo General Hospital were faculty m emb ers of the School of Medicine.

On the f ollowing pages we hav e tried to capture th e junior and senior medical students in '' observing-learning " clinical situations in the departments of medicine , surgery, obstetrics and gynec ology. The depth of involvement between the two institutions goes beyond to almost every room , ward , and lab oratory in the hospital. It involves many people - students, professors , doctors, interns, residents, nurses, technicians, and staff personnel at all levels. This long "partnership " has added luster to both institutions. One has complemented the other. And the common goal of better health through affiliation has been projected into the 21st century. Partnership Conti nued �knowledge and skills, and to reduce the time-lag between medical discoveries and their application. Of this original group , Dr . A. H. Aaron , M '12, of Buffalo and Dr. Edward A . Sharp , M '98 , of Chicago are still in active practice. Continuing Medical Education Dr. Alvis (right) presents bookends to Dr. Aaron for inaugu-rating continuing medical education. many advanc es in medicine and the importance of phy sicians continuing their education throughout their active professional lives becomes more evident each day. The slogan 'Forty Years, Not Four' aptly describBs medical education from now on." In these words Harry J. Alvis, M.D., associate dean for continuing medical education, presents a rationale for the activity he heads and suggests why it is enjoying an exciting phase of development . The program, launched in 1921 by seven farsighted physicians who recognized the need for what they termed refresh er courses, has had two primary purposes: to help physicians im.provetheir , ' T HE TIMES A H EAD PROMISE 12 The 79-year-old Dr. Aaron spearheaded this program until 1949 on a volunteer basis . H e w as secretary of the group that set up the first tw oweek course of lectures, clinics, and demonstrations. This group r ec eived permission fr om the School of Medicine to hav e short sessions on advances in medicine, surgery, gynecology and obstetrics. It proved so successful that a second course was offered on a similar basis in 1922. The following year the University took over the cours es , making them a permanent feature of th e School of M edicine . " But through the years and especially recently there has b een a marked change in configuration of programs ," Dr. Alvis said. ' 'Many years ago it w as assumed that exp erts in the city educated the m en from outlying areas , intimating that ther e w as an appreciable information gap between the two groups. Then , the emphasis tended to shift toward programs for specialists. Although the information gap is greatly narrowed and programs of both typ es are still presented, today there is a trend to present multi-discipline programs with p eop le from various specialties discussing the contribution their specialty can mak e to a specific medical program. A program of this kind is the one presented last fall on Pulmonary Emphysema at which chest physicians , pathologists , radiologists and surgeons all participated. TH E BU FFALO M ED ICAL REVIEW �''A more recent development is the multidisciplined program which approaches a subject with the idea of giving all members of 'the health sciences team' a common understanding so that personnel trained in the various fields can more intelligently coordinate their efforts. Such a program was The Rehabilitation of the Stroke Patient , also presented last fall. Those taking part included neurologists, specialists in physical medicine, specialists in rehabilitation, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, rehabilitation counselors and social service personnel," Dr. Alvis said . In addition to these short term programs of one to five days' duration, new ways of conveying information are being explored. Broadcast television was first used h ere by Dr. Marvin L. Bloom, currently director of continuing education for the health sciences. Beginning in 1963-1964 , he has presented a series of medical television programs, first locally and then, beginning in 1966, by educational television stations in Syracuse and Schenectady as well as in Buffalo. Plans call for expansion of the network of television stations affiliated with the State University so that eventually the broadcasts can reach 85 per cent of the people. Another means of communication soon to be employed is the two-way conference network, using telephone or radio facilities or a combination of the two. Such a network is now in the planning stages of the Regional Medical Program and if present plans materialize, the network will be available for programs in continuing medical education shared by physicians associated w ith hospitals throughout Western New York. Finally, there are opportunities for individual participation in various departments of the School. Looking to the future , Dr. Alvis comments , "modern communications and 'the information explosion' make it safe to predict that the practicing physicians will enjoy a broad array of opportunities for keeping well informed and practicing truly modern medicine. At the same time the doctor's patients and various licensing bodies will exert pressure on him to keep up to date. A typical audience fo r continuing m ed ical education. �opportunity to update one's medical concepts in a systematic manner without risking the disintegration of one 's practice and loss of one 's livelihood." The fall session of the Continuing Medical Education Program offered programs on eleven topics, some for the general practitioner , some for the specialist , and some of an interdisciplinary nature. The winter and spring session included fourteen programs and plans for 1968-1969 are now being formulated . The remaining schedule for the current winterspring session: March 1 and 2 - Surgical and M edical Aspects of Urology . March 7, 14 and 21 - Emotional Problems in the Office Practice of Medicine .

In the future it app ears likely that more and more individual practitioners will relinquish their solitary practice and practice in groups.

Its main purpose is the diss emination of information on world health problems . Several medical students , who shared a common inter est in international h ealth, decided to form the organization to enc ourage m edical and health related professions personnel to inv olve themselves in the w orld community . T HE soci ETY o N IN TERN A TIONAL M EDICINE Miss Barbara Blase, president of the society, told about the organizati·o n at th e Student A ffairs session of th e Americ an Association of M edical Colleges Conferenc e in N ew York City. She highlighted the summer fellowship program whereb y fellow students spend their summers abroad w orking in underdev eloped areas. Last summer Barbara worked with a public he alth unit in central M exico treating leprosy patients . ' 'Also last summer w e invited a young man from Greece to come to Buffalo to participate in a clerkship at one of our hospitals ,'' Miss Blase said. During the first year th e organization grew to include among its memb ers doctors , dentists , nurses, medical technologists, social workers , and of course, many medical s tudents. The Society held monthly meetings at which guest speakers , renowned in the field of international health, presented interesting experiences. A list was published of summer foreign opportunities for stud ents, and the School of Medicine w as approached for its support in these international ventures. The medical school respond ed favorably and granted fellowships for clinical work SPRING, 1968 abroad. During the last three summers m embers of the Societ y have worked in Nigeria , Gabon, Paraguay , Guatamala , Costa Rica , Israel, Liberia, Mexico, Puerto Rico , Thailand , and Vietnam. Our students have returned w ith enthusiastic reports of their experiences and r ecommend them highly to others. " From the v ery beginning it w as our desire to interest students in other medical schools in what w e w ere doing. W e sent letters to the deans and student presidents of all the medical schools in th e country explaining our purpose and asked if any of their students shared our interest. We were gratified to learn that at a few schools there already were similar organizations . W e als o b egan to publish the JO URNAL OF INTERNATIONAL HEA LTH, an infant publication only thre e issues old, w hich is sent to the dean and library of every medical school in this country, many fo reign medical schools, and any individual w h o requests to be put on our subscription list. " This year, our Society on Internation al M edicine at Buffalo became an associate m ember of the Int ernational F ederation of M edical St udent A ssociations (IFMSA) . IFM SA is compris ed of m edical student associations from Europ e , A frica, Asia, and the Americas . Among its many excellent functions is a well-organized student ex change program for the memb er nations. Now that our Society has b ecome a m ember, we are eligible to part icipate in this exchange pro gram a nd are eager to do so, " Miss Blase said.• 15 S ociety on International Medicine �The three main areas of the program are: diagnosis , general surgical principles and techniques, and plastic reconstruction. Dr. Lore' (seat ed) makes his point - "total patient care is essential. " The Head, N eel~ Training Program A BROAD AND FORWARD-LOO KING head and neck training program and service now in effect at the Buffalo General Hospital will soon be instituted at the Children's Hospital. The program , initiated and implemented by Dr . John M. Lore' , Jr., head of the division of otolaryngology, and Dr. John R. Paine, chairman of the department of surgery, has combined under one service all disciplines involved in the total care of patients with surgical disease of the head and neck - otolaryngology, general surgery , plastic surgery , oral surgery. The field today appears to be so fragmented that few, if any, institutions and centers of learning appear equipped to utilize the skills of the various involved specialties. This has prov en to be detrimental to good patient care as well as good teaching. 16 Diagnosis , which must alway s come first, is under Otolaryngology . It includes anterior and posterior rhinoscopy, nasopharyngoscopy (both mirror and with the nasopharyngoscope), mirror and direct laryngoscopy, otoscopy , hearing testing, vestibular testing, bronchoscopy , and esophagoscopy, digital palpation of the oral cavity and the neck. Also, adequate of training and experience in the management of masses in the neck where the primary lesion is beyond the scope of ordinary palpation and inspection. Needle aspiration or open biopsy should b e undertaken only after adequate diagnostic procedures listed above have been carried out. The common practice of some surgeons of first taking biopsy of a cervical lymph node or mass often spreads cancer and makes subsequent radical neck surgery impractical. General surgical principles and t echniques , under the general surgeon , is necessary to push forward the frontiers of surgery of the head and neck , i.e. , reconstruction of the esophagus using transplanted colon or vascular r econstruction in the head and neck using the technique of general vascular surgery. The ability to handle major complications is based on general surgical background; continued contact and experience is necessary. In plastic reconstructions , surgery of the h ead and neck not only includes tumor removal but reconstructive surgery follow ing r adical operations for cancer, trauma , and congenital abnormalities. The surgeon training in reconstructive surgery contributes his knowledge and experience in this THE BUFFALO MED ICAL REV IEW �field to the comprehensive care of the patient and to the training program. Each member of the attending staff has demonstrated special competence in his field of surgery, plastic surgery, chemosurgery, oral surgery, otolaryngology, general surgery. A radiotherapist also participates in the clinic conferences where he discusses choice of therapy relative to malignant lesions. Resident coverage is provided by both general surgery and otolargyngology residency training programs. Patients are admitted directly from out-patient clinics. Attending physicians assigned to the service may also admit their private patients and present problem cases at the clinic conferences . Material covered by this service includes all major surgery of the head and neck - malignant and benign tumors , severe and extensive trauma, significant congenital anomalies, major infectious processes. It does not include neurosurgery and ophthalmology . Continuity of patient care and training of residents is achieved through the year-round assignment of attending physicians. The joint clinic and conference meets one day per week for three hours. This is follow ed by a lecture series as well as a clinical pathological conference. Five lectures presented by the department of oral surgery cover various aspects of oral pathology. Resident arbeits alternate weekly. Senior resident coverage is shared by the chief resident in otolaryngology (who has two or more years in general surgery) and a third or fourth year rotating resid ent in general surgery . Assistant resident coverage is supplied by junior residents in otolaryngology and oral surgery residents when applicable. Virtually all major h ead and neck surgery becomes available to both r esidents in otolaryngology and general surgery , vastly increasing their total patient exposure . Exposure to such a c ombined service p ermits experienc e, ob servation , and evaluation of the various techniques , skills , and differenc es of opinion expressed by the involved disciplines . Both residents and patients b enefit , and the requirements of th e American Board of Otolaryngology and the American Board of Surgery are fulfilled. F or residents primarily interested in head and neck surgery, practice in a large metropolitan area or an academic career in this field , an extended training course is proposed , so that virtually total residency training in both otolaryngology and general surgery is accomplished. A training program including both otolaryngology and gen eral surgery with plastic and oral surgery is suggested .• Exam ining th e patient. �A Summer 1n Mexico This article was written by Barbara Blase and L es bia Fernandaz Smith about their exp eri e nces in Mexico last summer. Both Barbara and Lesbia will receive their M.D . d egrees in May . THE cENTRAL REGION oF MExrco, the Bajio, is a mountainous area with long tracts of fertile acreage. In this region, which gave birth to the indepen~ dence Movement from Spain and the Mexican Revolution, there is presently a new struggle, a struggle to eradicate leprosy. Twenty thousand Mexicans are afflicted by this malady; 30% live in the Bajio. During the months of June and July 1967, the authors were privileged to be able to join the Association Against Leprosy of Irapuato, (Associacion Irapuatense Contra la Lepra] in their campaign to control leprosy. Leprosy has been known in Mexico since the time of the Spanish conquest. There is no arche~ ological or historical evidence pointing to the existence of the disease before Cortez. The indigenous population, unexposed to this disease, quickly succumbed to it. The type of leprosy which is predominant in Mexico today is the lepromatous type, which occurs in those without defenses. Tuberculoid leprosy, the hypersensitive form, is less frequently found. Not much could be done to control leprosy until a decade ago,1 Then, in the mid-fifties, under the auspices of the Centro Dermatologico Pascua 2 in Mexico City, a group of public health physicians and nurses were specially trained to teach and treat those with leprosy in all of Mexico but particularly in the rural areas. Today it is hoped that through the combined efforts of government agencies and private associations, leprosy will be controlled in one generation. We arrived in Irapuato early in June and met Dr. Eduardo Salazar, the chief of dermatology in the Irapuato district of the state of Guanajuato . During our entire stay in Mexico we worked side by side w ith Dr. Salazar. At first our w ork was closely supervised by him. He taught us the basics of the dermatological disorders of the region, and their treatment. In many cases his treatment differs from the one used here. Once we familiarized ourselves with the common disorders of the area, Dr. Salazar shared the clinics with us. We called on him in instances when there was doubt as to .diagnosis . Our clinics were held in a public health unit or, when we visited small settlements (ranchos)3 , in someone ' s home or in the open air. The public health units we used are prefabricated structures which usually had a reception r oom, two examining rooms , a bathroom, and the nurse 's living quarters. Most of these units had no physician on duty. It was necessary for us to travel by jeep to these places as the roads were generally unpaved or nonexistent. As very few physicians ever visit these small communities because of their relative inaccessibility, the inhabitants w ould come to our clinics with many disorders other than those of the skin. Thus we were able to see 1. A decade ago Dapsone was introduced into Mexico. 2. Centro Dermatologico Pascua is a privately sponsored cen ter for the study of leprosy and dermatological diseases headed by Fernando Latapi, a world renow ned leprologist. 18 3 . A rancho consists of on e or man y one-room mud block houses in which a fam ily li ves. THE BU FFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �a large number and variety of medical conditions. During the summer we saw over 130 different cases of leprosy. Many were seen more than once; 12 were newly diagnosed cases. Although leprosy is seen mainly in .adults, we did see three cases in children under 15 years of age . The lepromatous type of leprosy accounted for 61% of our patients , the tuberculoid type-17%, the indeterminate form-20%, and dimorphic-2%. The full spectrum of the disease manifestations were observed in our patients. The most important clinical sign for diagnosis is the hypochromic, anesthetic patch found most often in the gluteal area. Thus, the diagnosis can be easily made with only the aid of a needle. Confirmatory diagnostic tests are performed for verification and classification. These are the skin biopsy, bacilloscopy, and lepromin skin test. Other acute manifestations seen were raised, erythematous, infiltrated, anesthetic patches found anywhere on the body, painfully swollen ulnar nerves, lepromatous nodules, and painful swelling of the small joints of the hands and feet. In the later stages of the disease, degenerative changes become evident. There is atrophy of all the muscles of the forearms and legs. This is visualized especially in the thenar and hypothenar areas. Atrophy of the lumbricals and of the interossei make flexion , abduction, adduction, and opponence of the digits very difficult. Flexion contractures and reabsorption of the distal phalanges leave the patient with painful stubs in place of fingers and toes. Infected trophic ulcers help complicate the course of the disease. Facial changes include reabsorption of the SPRING, 1968 nasal bones leaving a flattened bridge , loss of the eyelashes, eye brows, and atrophy of the facial muscles due to inv olvement of the facial nerve . Diffuse interstitial infiltration of the ear lobes often occurs and lepromatous nodules are sometimes seen obliterating the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye . Patients in all stages of the disease are treated with Dapsone (diaminodiphenyl sulfone), 25 mg. daily. This dosage is low as compared to that us ed in other countries. However, it has been found adequate for control of the disease in M exico . In the acute exacerbations, Anthiomaline (pentav_alent salt of antimony) is given intramuscularly for six days to reduce the inflammation and edema. In cases with advanced atrophies, weekly checkup sessions are held in the privately-sponsored dermatological sanatorium. Here, infected trophic lesions are treated, as well as conjunctivitis occurring with the ectropion and the infections occurring w ith unfelt injuries such as burns . When the disease is diagnosed and treated early, it is usually successfully arrested and in the case of tuberculoid leprosy often cured. One new patient came in with diffuse nodules and infiltrated, anesthetic patches. After three weeks of treatment with Dapsone and Anthiomaline he showed marked reduction of these lesions. It w as rewarding to see this improvement after such a short time. Our clinics were always full. We saw 30 to 40 people in a morning.

Is A TYPICAL DAY for a pediatrics APFME supported summer fellowship recipient? For Bob Milanovich, who will graduate in May, his day begins at 9 a.m. at the Millard Fillmore Hospital. At the hospital Bob joins Dr. Daniel H. Weiner, assistant clinical professor of pediatrics and a private pediatrics practitioner. They see a normal newborn baby. "Sounds like he is getting better," comments Bob, following a stethoscope examination. The chart is reviewed and the nurse consulted. The baby appears uncomfortable after feeding. A formula change is suggested. A visit with the mother assures her that the baby is progressing. The premature baby clinic is the next stop . More examinations, a chart review of a baby, and a visit with mother. Dr. Weiner and Bob move on to Sisters Hospital for a look at a newborn baby; then on to Children' s Hospital. Here they check on a 48- W .AT hour-old baby with a heart murmur, and a twoy ear-old boy with two broken legs , and anemia . Both patients are progressing satisfactorily. Immediately after lunch they visit 40 children at the Erie County Well Baby Clinic . By mid-afternoon they return to Dr. Weiner's office to concentrate on summer camp and school physicals. ''I selected a pediatrics fellowship because I wanted a change from my past summers of research at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. I suddenly became interested in pediatrics and wanted to see how a private practice develops ,'' Bob said . Dr. Weiner, who has tutored fellowship recipients for many years, confirmed that Bob had an excellent learning experience. ''This was a stimulating experience for me because Bob has an inquiring mind. As we made the rounds together he asked many searching questions that kept me on my toes .... Dr. W einer (seated ) notes the chart and suggests starting the bab y on "borden stuff " �University Can~pus Gets Alcoholism Research Institute NEw YORK 'S proposed State Research Institute on Alcoholism will be a part of the Health Sciences Center at the new Amherst campus. In making the announcement , Governor Rockefeller said, ''this institute will b eco me a national center for the study of alcoholism and its related problems . There are an estimated 700,000 New Yorkers who suffer from alcoholism and knowledge of the causes and effects of this illness is wholly inadequate." The research institute will be operated by the Mental Hygiene Department in affiliation with the University. It will collect. analyze, diss eminate data for interrelated studies by specialists in medicine, physiology, psychiatry, psychology, pharmacology, psychopharmacology, biochemistry, genetics, social work, sociology, anthropology, political science , law, penology, and business administration. The institute will also be able to draw upon the resources of the library and computer center at the University. The institute also will provide for in-patient and out-patient care of alcoholics, community organization and training of professional workers in the field. President Martin Meyerson said, ''this is a great step forward for the State and the Western New York Community. ''W e are delight ed that Governor Rockefeller h as seen fit to recommend that this regional SPRING, 1968 facility be located on our campus. It is our fervent hop e that the Legislature will concur, and that the program can rapidly develop," Mr. Meyerson said. The university · president classified alcoholism as "a vastly complicated problem of man and society and ranks among the top five public health problems.'' The establishment of the center at the university will bring about th e application of multi-disciplinary interests and competence to this field. Our faculty is convinced t hat solutions of these problems can b est be found through the application of many talents representing different fields of endeavor . '' Participating in the formation of the proposal last April were the university faculty and staff, State University College at Buffalo , Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce, Buffalo Area Council on Alcoholism and relat ed private governmental health, education and welfare groups. "We are convinced that as th e University grows, both in its own programs and in its r elationships with other university, community, and area agencies, the interests and potentialities of an alcoholism research institute w ill take on even greater magnitude,'' President M eyerson said . The Governor went on to say that the Buffalo area was chos en b ecause of the long and intense interest in the multiple problems of alcoholism. Erie County has been a leader in providing a variety of community services to alleviate t hese problems.• ) 23 �31st Annual State University at B1 Pro' FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1968 Norton Union Conference Theatre 8:15- 9:00 a.m. 9:00- 9:15 a.m. 9:15-10:30 a.m. 10:30-11:00 a.m. 11:00-12:30 p .m. 24 Panel Discussion: Question and Answer Period Moderator: DR.

In thos e days there was no campus . Each division of the University of Buffalo was located in diff erent sections of the city. The Law School was downtown (West Eagle Street) , the Dental School was located on Goodrich Street , and Millard Fillmore College w as at McKinley Square. During a recent visit to the Campus, Dr . Bernhardt Gottlieb, M '21 , reminisced about his daysduringWorld War I as a medical student. The Erie County Hospital of 1926 is Ha yes Hall today. The Medical School of 1920 (as told to th e editors by Dr. Bernhardt Gottlieb, M'21 ) 26 The Medical School w as located at 24 High Street. But perhaps a more r ealistic appraisal w as that its " campus" w as located directly opposite - in the tavern of the German-American Brewery . With the purchase of a schooner of beer for 10 cents, the Brewery supplied to its customers (students and faculty were probably the most regular and dependable clientele) pickled herring, pea soup, small franks , fair-sized hamburgers, pickles galore, a mountain of rye bread on every table, not to mention the celery, olives, red radish es , and sliced onions. Included in this nominal fee of 10 c ents were the use of spoons, knives, forks, and paper napkins, but always accompanied with the plea '' do not remove the silverware from th e premises .' ' Students made good us e of their ''captive audienc e'' situation with faculty . No matter how faculty longed to escape from the smell of onions and garlic reeking from students always eagerly pursuing them to ask endless questions , the nominal price and huge quantities of good food proved too strong an incentive to for ego. THE BUFFAl O MED ICAL REVIEW �In 1953 the School of Medicine moved to the present Main Street campus. In 1920 Hayes Hall was the Erie County Hospital, and Norton Hall was the Erie County "Poorhouse." The Poorhouse had a most impressive facade - ivy covered and a gate extended along Main Street from the hospital to the Poorhouse and all the way up to Bailey Avenue. A long roadway also reached from the hospital to Main Street. There was a large farm located behind the buildings with lots of trees, cows, and chickens. The former bookstore in 1920, located where Lockwood Library now stands, served as the interns' quarters. World War I ended, but as most graduates of 1918 and 1919 were in military service, Colonel William Howland, director of the Erie County Hospital, applied to the University of Buffalo Medical School for volunteer interns from the junior and senior classes. Dr. Gottlieb, as a junior medical student, was among the 16 to 20 volunteers. He recalled the wonderful opportunity presented by this service to obtain a knowledge of internal medicine from the text and to simultaneously have at his disposal an abundance of clinical material. At the time he was reading the chapter on ''typhoid fever" in Sir William Osler's Textbook of Internq.J Medicine, 20 patients with typhoid fever were under his care. The hospital was crowded with every type of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Gottlieb personally performed more than six autopsies. He had over 40 obstetrical · deliveries , usually under the supervision of Dr. Irving Potter or other members of the Medical School's obstetric faculty. Whenever Dr. Gottlieb was needed at the hospital, Colonel Howland telephoned to the office of the Medical School, and he was excused from classes . In those days, Buffalo had many snow storms, which mad e travel difficult. Int erns were reluctant to go to High Street; but Colon el Howland, always very accommodating , suddenly discovered that he " needed " his entire staff of interns , and they were excused from classes. While working at the Erie County Hospital, Dr. Gottlieb received a stipend of $16.67 per month with room, board, and laundry included. Mary, the Irish cook, was a culinary artist. Savory dishes, well prepared, included chicken , eggs , as well as steaks and lobsters. The interns loved Mary and her strong Irish brogue. T he old CC!lc ba rn in D r. Go ttlieb 's da y . �As Dr. Gottlieb recalled, the most outstanding experiences in those days were the bull sessions held in the intern quarters. " Here , juniors and seniors had an opportunity to exchange and share experiencE)s.'' Among senior classmates w ere Salvatore Parlatto , Dominick Ciolli, Dick Haywood, Bill Rennie, and Steve Graczyk. A senior year clinical group of " melting pot" comp osition moved along from hospital to hospital. The group really " clicked " and civil rights would not h av e b een an issue. There was a PoleStanislaus Gurgas; a Southerner-Julian Francis Johnston; a v ery austere German-James Sherman H ouck ; a Jew-D r . Gottlieb ; and the Lapp twins , Shirley and Martin . (The son of one of the twins was a classmate of Dr. Gottlieb ' s son, Solon, M' 52) . During his senior year, everyon e befriended Dr. Gottlieb , and h e was elected chairman of the graduation program. The only interns at the Lafay ette General Hospital were Dr. Gottlieb and his classmate, Callahan. Ordinarily, it is possible to tell the day of the week by the food that is served, such as fish on Friday or chicken on Sunday. But not so at the Lafayette General. It was bacon and eggs for breakfast, cold pork for lunch, and h am for dinner served "nine" days per week. During the last month of his senior year, Dr. Gottlieb developed mumps. However, he was informed by administration that graduation was contingent upon attendance at the ceremonies. At exam time, he was the last student to enter the room, with a handkerchief cov ering his mouth, 28 D r. Samuel D . Ca pen, V B 's first full-time Chancellor, leads the academic procession to the d edication of Foster Hall. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �for fear of alarming his classmates. Graduation ceremonies revealed that he was the recipient of the Roswell Park prize in surgery . "The medal was personally presented to me by Dr . Julian Park, '' he proudly recalled. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate from the City College of New York, he ended his medical school days with an overall average of 93 .6. After several years of general practice, with an interest in general surgery, Dr. Gottlieb decided to specialize in neurosurgery. In 1935, application was made to the Neurology Institute, but there were no openings. He was given a residency the following year and was encouraged to train in psychiatry in the interim period. A year of training in this field convinced Dr. Gottlieb that psychiatry was to be his forte, and he abandoned surgery. Today, Dr. Gottlieb has a private practice in psychiatry and psychoanalysis in New York City. He is a member of the board of directors and a past president of the American Society of Psychoanalytic Physicians. For a number of years he was associate clinical professor of psychiatry at SUNY at Brooklyn. Listed in Who 's Who in the East (Vol. 8, 62-63), the Dictionary of International Biography (London, Vol. III, 66) and in Bouker's Book of Authors, he has also written four books for popular consumption. They are Understanding Your Adolescent (1957), What a Boy Should Know About Sex (1960), What a Girl Should Know About Sex (1961), and with his wife, Dr. Sophie B. Gottlieb, co-authored, What You Should Know About Marriage (1962). SPRING, 1968 Three generations - Stephen W einstein, grandson, class of 1970; Solon Gottlieb a son, class of 1952 ; D r. Gottlieb, class of 1921. A loyal supporter of the Medical School, he and his wife have established an annual award for the senior student who best exemplifies the fact that living and learning go hand in h§lnd, though a continuation of his personal interests and activities in art, literature, community affairs , etc., while applying himself to his medical studies. The practice of medicine has also been an integral part of family life for two other generations of the Gottlieb family. His son, Solon, a 1952 Medical School graduate, is a specialist in obstetrics and gynec ology. A grandson, Stephen Weinstein, a member of the class of 1970 and an All-American NCAA fencing star of the 1964 Columbia championship team, has been assisting in coaching the UB fencing team. A nephew, Jeffrey Perchick, who is one of triplets , will enter the Medical School in September 1968. • 29 �''The main thing about growing old is to refuse to grow old, to retain a sort of childish outlook in the wonders of nature ,' ' Dr. Eccles said. He doesn't b elieve that scientists make no major contributions aft er 40 . He pointed out that all the work for which he was knighted in 1958 and subsequently received the Nob el Prize was done after he was 48. Dr. Eccles with D ean Su rgenor at the R idge Lea Campus. Neurobiology Unit On Ridge Lea Campus That is how Nobel Prize Winner Sir John Eccles characterized the university that he will become a part of when he joins the School of Medicine faculty July 1. "Here I will belong to a university again, and I will be living in an academic community with people (many younger than I) who think in terms of values similar to my own.'' Sir John - who prefers to b e called "Dr. Eccles " - left his native Australia in 1966 after 14 years as professor of physiology at the Australian National University in Canberra. ' 'The university had a firm retirement rule of 65. After that I would have had only minimum facilities for research,' ' he said. Dr. Eccles, who believes that he has done the ''best work I have ever done since I was 60,'' wasn't ready to be put on the shelf. He is a ''young "A N EXCITING, GROWING UNIVERSITY ." 64.'' 30 ''I have no intention of hanging up my laboratory coat and turning the world of r esearch over to younger men. They say only th e young fellows have original ideas . I can't seem to find any of those young fellows . Most of them are so obsessed with technology and obtaining results that they have no time for ideas. ''We who are engaged in research on the brain are pretty much of an international family. In the 14 years I was in Australia I had 73 different associates, for varying periods of time, from 23 different countries .' ' A philosopher as well as a scientist, Dr . Eccles says that " we must find a simpler way of life , one that has less stress and is less intensely organized. '' A special unit of neurobiology is being created for the Distinguished Professor of Physiology and Biophysics on the Ridge Lea campus. Here Dr. Eccles will continue the research on the brain for which he shared the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in 1963. He will be working with cats and squirrel monkeys . ''It is exciting to belong to something that is growing as this University is. The future here is exciting. . . as is the vigor of its President. " THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �This 10-building complex is the University's Ridge Lea campus on Ridge Lea Road in Amherst, just off Niagara Falls Boulevard. The Youngmann Expressway is in the lower left and Sweet Home Junior High on Maple Road in the background. At least two departments in the School of Medicine are located at Ridge Lea - Dr. John Eccles' neurobiology unit and biophysics. Other departments on the Ridge Lea Campus are-computing · center, computer sciences, theoretical biology, mathematics, philosophy, statistics, anthropology, art, library, political science, medical technology, food services, and part of the division of interdisciplinary studies and research in engineering. About 2,400 students are attending classes at the Ridge L ea Campus. There is paved parkingfor 850 cars and shuttle buses leave the Main Street campus every half hour for the 20-minute trip. This major interim facility, an indispensable aid in bridging the growth gap between old and new campus, has been leased for fi ve years with options to renew. Four more buildings will be built this summer, and there have been preliminary negotiations with the deve lop er, Mare t Corporation of Pittsburgh, for still more space. SPRING, 1968 31 �Srx Dr. Noeh ren (left ) and Dr. Alan Sal;:;man at the Meilahti Hospital, Helsinki . Dr. Salz man receiucd his M.D. d egree in May (1967) and is interning at Kings County Medi cal Center, Brooklyn. A Sabbatical 1n Finland by Theodore H. Noehren, M.D . MONTHS as a Fulbright Lecturer in Finland is an exciting but profoundly sobering experience. It was our good fortune to be the guest of the pulmonary department of the University of Helsinki and the Finnish Anti-Tub erculosis Association for the spring semester of 1966 . Activities were centered in the magnificent new Meilahti University Hospital of almost 1000 beds , known locally as the ''Hilton of Helsinki.'' The radiology department next door is referred to colloquially as the " Hilton Grill." They form two parts of a 3,190bed medical complex in the h eart of H elsinki. The design and equipment of the institution is of particular interest since Finland is the " land of architects '' and its medical program part of a larger social scheme. The hospital and its facilities are equal to any of comparable size in my experience and the design is strictly ''consumer oriented. '' The architect quite pointedly states in his plans that this 15-story building is for patients. It is located so as to provid e attractive views over th e Gulf of Finland and the outlying islands for the patients ' comfort. The do ctors ' offices, laboratories, and library are in adjoining wings which extend only two stories above and below ground. To appreciate the significance of such a magnificent contribution to the care of the sick individuals it is necessary to recall the recent history of Finland. While these people fought and gained their independence from Russia as recently as 1917, they are one of the oldest strains in Europe . Dr. Noehren, associate professor of m edicine, joined the UB fac ulty in 1952. H e received his M.D. d egree from the Uni versity of Rochester in 1942. Thi s article is reprinted from T he May_o Alumnus . 32 THE BUFFALO MEDICAl REVIEW �In 1939 they single-handedly turned back the Russian army at their own frontier with guns and water hoses w hich fro ze the advancing Red forces. The stubborness and valor of this small country is a matter of record unparalleled in recent history. They came out of the war almost as destitute as their German comrades in arms . Today their recovery is as complete as Germany' s. They repaid their loans from the United States and a staggering indemnity to Russia of over three million dollars . They paid these debts in goods which Finland did not have and from factories which did not even exist. This is even more impressive w hen you consider that Finland lies in about the same geographical position as Alaska, but is only one-third the size of Alaska. Its only significant resources are wood, water power and the talent and industry of its four and one-half million people Only 9 per cent of the land is cultivated , 10 percent is water, and 60 per cent is for est. Approximately half of the population earn their living by farming, while one-fifth follow an industrial occupation. It is certainly no postage-stamp kingdom with picture postcard quaintness. On outward appearance and standard of living, Finland could well be another of the states in our own country. A nation of people who can accomplish this modern miracle is no ordinary group of individuals. Thus their approaches to social, economic, international, and medical problems are of special interest and quite stimulating. However their " Dutch uncle " existence develops attitudes, particularly toward the United States, which are more than a little sobering . SPRING, 1968 To understand their attitude it must be recogniz ed that they are challenged from the east b y Communism and over 20 per cent of the population in Finland votes Communistic in national elections. They are challenged from the west by the highly socialized country of Sweden whose high economic rew ards are a constant magn et for the besttrained Finnish personn el. A measure of their success in medicine is the continued opp ortunities for private practice in Finland and the fa ct that they lose less than a handful of physicians each year b y emigration . T o acco mplish this the profession has taken several attitudes of interest to an American. First , it w as recognized by enough of th e physicians that socialization of their profession w as attractive to the politicians . This they could fight or, by recognizing the hand-writing on the w all , join the trend , hoping that their suggestions and direction of this movement would be acc epted. They chose this latter approach and, according to some sources , hav e been about 60 per cent successful. The satisfaction of th e profession seemed to vary w ith the present prospects , but the population we w ere able to gauge seemed most pleas ed. T he politicians , as in most countries , have been quite successfuL Evidence for this is that in approaching almost any sizeable Finnish city the largest and f;nest building on the horizon is , by definition , the central hospital. It is quite similar to approaching Rochester, Minnesota, from almost any direction w here the Mayo buildings are bold in outline. Finland implem ent ed the first of its national medical law s in 1962 . This guarant eed all Finns the full c ost of their hospitalization exclusive of a " deductible " of $2. 00 a day , w hiCh they pay 33 �themselves . Physicians in the hospital are on government salary and allowed the income of a few private patients. In January 196'1 th e law was broadened to include care of non-hospitalized patients . Such patients will pay 20 p er cent of their medical bills-the go vernment w ill pay the rest. The supply of physicians in Finland is tighter than in the United Stat es-only one for each 1 ,232 persons. Plans are progressing to incr eas e this to one for each 600 by 1980. While the present shortage is real, s everal ingenio us m easur es have been introduced to minimize the problem. I w ill outline them to save space . (1) Finland utilizes its 7,000 Public H ealth Nurs es as a "first line of defense ." Patients frequently call a nurse inst ead of a doctor w hen they get sick. This is particularly true in the rural areas where the medical supply is most critical. The nurses, who have had three y ears of nursing school and two years of postgraduate training , evaluate the patient and refer him t o a physician if necessary. These nurses must r eturn periodically for sev eral weeks of refresher cours es by a medical-nursing facult y . One physician w ho is r esponsible for a population of 5,000 has fiv e such nurs es to h elp in all aspects of his patient care . On a ski trip in that area we found gen eral satisfaction with this arrangement on a rand om s ampling of the people living there . (2) To relieve physicians of the administrative d etails and paperwork that takes up to 30 per cent of their time , Finland has institut ed a " m ediconoum '' program to train a new level of paramedical personnel. The first class of 60 students will sp end three years in a university training b y the combined faculties of medicine , ec onomics, and 34 p olitical s cience. It is anticip ated these p eople w ill reli eve phys icians of the unproductive tim e w ith paperwork and , as one commentator suggest ed, the reports w ill now b e filled out correc tly f or a change .

The physicians in their Medicare plan earn an equivalent of $17,000 a year for a 35-hour week and have six weeks' vacation in the summer. Special increas ed tim e off can be exchanged if it is taken during the winter months . Our attempts to evaluate this in their eyes w as extremely difficult and I would not venture any such generalization. They are, however, very much concerned for the cost of all this as reflected in their taxes. Medical care is not the only social program they are carrying but it is included w h en they must pay a tax of 120 per cent on a n ew car, 50 p er cent tax on incomes (including joint incomes of the w ives, most of w hom are als o professional people). A recent n ews release reported a current increase of the sales tax to 11 per cent and a further 15 per c ent on incomes . Ther e are many more details which this space does not permit. Just how much of this can and does apply to our problems in the United States is a matter of consideration and debate. Finland is not the United States and the variations in location, size , population, and economic background are obviously very different. However, this very difference provides a perspective on our country which , over six months ' time, became quite significant. We n aturally are inclined to take the attitude of foreigners with many reserv ations since it is obvious that much of their perspective derives fr om the American movies, press r eleases , television shows, and American tourists . . . all of which we "recognize" as unreliable criteria for judgm ent. It was true that the Finns who had been to A merica had a somewhat different and more sympathetic attitud e toward our country. On the other hand, the casual SPRING, 1968 dismissal of mov ies and television as unreliable " wastelands" of Americana may b e self- d eluding . After all American industry , w hatever else it do es, gauges its audi ences w ith utmost diligenc e. W hat they "sell " may b e closer to the h earts and minds of our people tha n our subjectiv e impresssions or wishful thinking . This is the America they see. This was epitomized one morning w hil e listening to a n ewscast from the Voice of America. Th e announcer in Washington was explaining the celeb rat ion of on e o f our national h olidays and pointing out quit e sincerely, that "we in A merica h on estly b eliev e that every man is created w ith an equal o pp ortunity and are doing our b est to pract ic e th is . " On that very morning the front pag e o f the H elsinki paper carried a full-s ized pic ture of a Negro b oy in the Watts ar ea of Los Angel es b eing clobbered by a p olice man . How can th e Finnish lis teners r ea lly believe tha t announce r P \'C n though mos t of us as fe llow Am ericans acc e pt it quit e n at urally? We ar e extrem ely pro ud of our Democracy . But when a Finn asks w ha t percen tage of our citize ns can or do vot e in an elect ion , and then co m pares it w ith his 90 per cent v oluntary an ticipation, he is not impressed. When a F inn as ks why th e American cigarette ind ustry h as fr ee reign in advertising and sale of their lethal drug, or h ow many presidents we mu st assassinate before controlling firea rms, or w hen w e are going to d o something about th e road carnage from dr unk en drivers which they contro l rigidly, w e winc e . True d em ocracy it seems is a two -way street , de manding individual respons ibility as well as individual rights . When th e Finn questions our activ ities in Viet35 �nam and we explain to him that we are there, honestly, to help protect him from his nearest enemy, Communism, my friends there evidenced considerable skepticism. Could this explain our surprise that so few of our friends, including Finland, have even verbally supported us in that stand? When they ask do we really think these 20-year conflicts in Vietnam and East Germany can be solved by a mere plebiscite, one must admit considerable naivete . We accept the cynicism of politics in America as standard procedure but barely recognize such possibilities in international affairs. The United States is a great country . . . and the Finnish people are the first to acknowledge this . . . great in wealth, affluence , generosity, technical achievements, etc .... but there it seems to stop. Could it be that we are a great co untry, but not as great as we think w e are? Could it be that our affluence and technical achievements have misled us to believe that we are equally accomplished across the board? Could it b e that we are like a great athletic team that has become addicted to reading its own press notices? And could it even be that these same press notices, like the front page of most newspapers , specialize in providing the reader with just the news he is looking for? American news did not look the same in the foreign papers during our six months. In the DeGaulle situation, for example, the American interpretation was quit e different from the Scandinavian "neutral" reports. As the six months progressed this concern for our own, possibly too personal, concept of our country became an obsession. The medicine, social programs, democracy, integrity, law enforcement, cultural activities, and other accomplishments of a country like Finland with such limited reso urces 36 made us look very hard at our own United States . One cannot be subjected to this different and more formal evaluation of his country wit hout feeling something very deep and sobering . One returns with tears on his cheeks at such a " meaningless " experience as the national anthem at a football game . . . and at the same time real concern that these "soaring sixties" in our land of such tremendous potential may be the era of Madison Avenue subliminal ''brainwashing'' . . . the techniques we so closely associate with Communism. We went to Finland for a six-month sabbatical. What we saw was not Finland, but the United States. It was no picnic .. . and we recommend it for every American who can possibly do it.• Spring Clinical Days A FAMous PHYsrcL<\N-EDUCATOR.w ho is also a scholar, editor and researcher, will give the annual Stockton Kimball Memorial Lecture at the 31st Annual Spring Clinical Days Saturday, April 6.

The most common dermatological disorder seen was solar dermatitis as well as its complications. Irapuato is about 8,000 feet above sea level, and the ultraviolet rays of the sun are not as well filtered out by the atmosphere as at sea level. Other disorders of the skin included fungal infections, contact dermatitides , and the neurological dermatitides. During the latter part of our stay in Irapuato we often had occasion to make house calls in the afternoon. This gave us an opportunity to see people who needed special attention. On two occasions we administered blood to people who could not be moved. Another time we took a day 's journey deep into high mountainous territory to see people who do not have the services of a physician more than once a year. It was an exciting, though tiring trip. To reach our destination, we had to travel almost four hours by jeep and more than two hours by horse . We saw many people along the way. The culmination of our experience was taking a skin biopsy from a patient with leprosy who had not been seen for over a year and a half. Our summer was fascinating. It was physically tiring, medically stimulating, and emotionally both draining and sustaining. We went to Mexico to learn ; we were also given the opportunity to help .

Orr Volunteer Physicians in Vietnam Selecting a New Dean People In Memoriam Scandinavian Tour �"THIS TRIP was an extraordinary and most rewarding experience." That is what Dr. and M rs. Fred Gorman said after their two-month stint as "rotating volunteers" on board the floating hospital sh ip, the S. S . HOPE, anchored at Corinto, Nicaragua. Dr. Gorman, a 1936 medical school graduate, was among 25 doctors and dentists who served during the fif th and last rotation. The rotators supplemented the permanent staff of the nation's mercy ship of approximately 100 doctors, dentists, nurses, physical therapists, dieticians, and technicians. The ship and permanent staff w ere in N icaragua for ten months from January 1966 to November 1966. The rotators serve two months on the sh ip without compen sation. The Gorman s were on the HOPE from September 15th to November 15th, 1966. "In Nicaragua, HOPE team s established clinics on Dr. and Mrs. Fred Gorman and the S. S. HOPE. The S.S. Hope Takes the Gorman's t o N icaragua, Ceylon board the ship and also in three cities-Corinto, Leon, Chinandega- within a SO-mile radius of the ship. Teams of doctors and nurses comm uted daily to the clinics. They often returned after dark when cows and oxen became a very real menace. (One HOPE truck was destroyed when it hit a cow!) The impact of HOPE extended throughout N icaragua as doctors referred patients to the clinics. The immunization program exIn February th e Gormans moved to their new home in Briarcliffe Acres, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Dr. Gorman fo rmerly lived in Cornin g, New York, w here he engaged in the general practice of medicine. 2 THE BU FFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �tended to rural areas . In some instances these areas could be reached only by horseback, open railroad cars or boat. One man hitchhiked (by ox cart) over 300 miles from Honduras to ask HOPE doctors if they could correct a condition which kept his neck and face riveted to one side. For three years this man walked sideways. Dr. Gorman assisted in the surgery which enabled him to walk normally. "Many of the patients had not seen a doctor in years. Indeed, they were neglected medically. We found many cases of eye and skin disease, as well as tuberculosis, thyroid, arthritis, and rheumatic fever. We saw many people who had had polio and their limbs were still in contracture. They had never received physiotherapy. HOPE physiotherapists trained eleven Nicaraguans to help this kind of patient." The general practitioner explained that gastrointes~ tinal ailments, nutritional deficiencies, and intestinal parasites were also common among Nicaraguans. Nicaragua has only one medical school (at Leon) and one doctor for every 10,000 persons. Average life expectancy is only 35. Half of the children die before reaching the age of five. "My typical day started about 8 A.M. when I climbed on a bus with other doctors, nurses, and technicians for a trip to nearby hospitals and clinics. Often our trip was an hour or longer over narrow roads cluttered with cattle. Usually, I worked mornings as a member of a surgical team or making hospital rounds WINTER, 1967 with my Nicaraguan counter-part. Afternoons, I saw from 30-40 patients in one of the clinics. All had a variety of health problems." Mrs. Gorman, an attorney, assisted her husband in the clinic three or four days a week. Three days a week she would climb aboard a Nicaraguan army truck to help with the immunization programs in the interior. Once a week she and her husband would visit barrios (slum areas) with a team to give sanitation talks to groups in native homes. "When we weren' t treating patients we were busy with the educational program. We would discuss med ical problems, dental care, public health, and h ygiene with doctors, technicians, medical students, and patients. This was done in the clinics, at hospitals, as well as on the 5 . 5 . HOPE . "It was usually after 6 P.M. when we returned by bus to our ship. Almost every evening the doctors gave talks or illustrated lectures for the benefit of the Nicaraguan doctors and nurses training on board. HOPE's main objective is to train Nicaraguans to continue the work after HOPE leaves the area. HOPE has left a land-based team of 14 people in Nicaragua to help them with the transition. They will stay from one to . three years if necessary. "Efforts were made not only to educate the local physicians and medical students, but also pharmacists, technicians, dieticians, physio-therapists, and many others essential to a good health team." 3 �The HOPE's medical task force often strayed far afield. They helped the Nicaraguans paint the operating and delivery rooms, screen the windows, and.establish sterile procedures. They even distributed shoes for the children to wear in Chinandega. This was part of HOPE's public health program to control hookworm disease. Milk distribution was another aspect of the "person to person" program of HOPE. The ship's milk-making machine, dubbed the " iron-cow" by the HOPE staff, produced 250,000 cartons of milk which was distributed twice a week to children and expectant mothers living in the barrios. The HOPE staff introduced common but new procedures to the Leon hospital, such as regular physical examinations, a medical records system, a bloodbank, and identifying wristbands for new-borns. As a result of the bloodbank, transfusions increased 100 per cent. HOPE was instrumental in getting new medical equipment installed in the hospitals at Leon and Corinto, and trained the technicians in its use. The HOPE's residency program was valuable to the Nicaraguan medical students, who have limited facilities for internship and residency training. HOPE's major efforts were concentrated in the Leon area, the site of the country's only medical school. All of the school's medical students served at least a two-month training rotation on the ship. " We found them bright and eager to learn," Dr. Gorman said. HOPE gave them medical books and established a library at the Leon medical school. Medical texts are very expensive and few of the students can afford them. 4 While in Nicaragua the HOPE staff performed 1,581 operations, admitted 1,703 patients to the ship and handled 18,500 clinical visits. Several other local physicians, dentists and nurses who have completed tours of duty on the S.S. HOPE's six voyages are: Dr. Kenneth H . Seagrave, a radiologist and clinical associate in the Schoo l o f Medicine, (In donesia, 1960; South Vietnam , 1961; Peru, 1962 ; Nicaragua, 1966) ; Dr. ]ames Youk er, M ' 54, radiologist, (Indon esia, 1960 ; Sou th Vietna m , 1961); Dr. Carl]. Graf, M ' 41, a neurosurgeon and associate clinical professor of surgery in the School of M edicine, (Peru, 1962); Dr. Jack L. Linden, phy sical medicine, (Nicaragua, 1966); Dr. Sue A. McCutcheon, M ' 56, in ternal medicine, (G uinea, 1964) ; Dr. Earle G. Ridall, M '34, otolaryngology, (Peru, 1962) ; Dr. Joseph A. Schutz, M '28, ophthalmology, (Ecuador, 1963); D r. Robert E. Pantera, DDS '55, assistant professor of fixed partial prosthodontics in the Schoo l of D entistry, (Peru, 1962); Ruth E. Anderson, R.N ., and Dolores Soule, R.N., (both Ecuador, 1963). In six years HOPE doctors, nurses, and technologists have trained more than 3,300 physicians, surgeons, dentists, nurses, and technologists ; treated over 100,000 persons; conducted some 8,300 major operations ; benefited more than one million people through immunization, examination, public education in nutrition, sanitation, personal hygiene, and other services; and distributed nearly two million cartons of milk . The HOPE has visited six developing nations in three continents. Currently the HOPE is visiting Colombia. THE BUFFAlO MEDICAl REVIEW �Project HOPE (Health Opportunity for People Everywhere) is the principal activity of The People-toPeople Health Foundation, Inc., of Washington, D.C., an independent, non-profit corporation. Its objective is to teach medicat den tat and technological personnel in developing countries the latest techniques of United States medical science. William B. Walsh, M . D ., is founder, president, and medical director. "This person-to-person medical program is one of the best methods of creating goodwill. I think HOPE's efforts to treat the sick and raise the standards of medical care in Nicaragua have been most successful. HOPE helped the people of Nicaragua help themselves/' Dr. Gorman said. " Our reward is the appreciation of the people we treated. For example, one Nicaraguan physician opened his home and pool to the HOPE staff every Sunday. And when we sailed from Coninto 20,000 Nicaraguans lined the dock and beach to wave goodbye." When the HOPE steamed into New York harbor there was an extra passenger on board. A nurse on the ship had adopted a healthy 18-month-old Nicaraguan girl. She came aboard when she was eight months old weighing only ten pounds (she had h ad pulmonary tuberculosis). The Gorman's will join the permanent HOPE staff on the next trip to Ceylon in March. Dr. Gorman will be the ship's surgeon for medical staff and crew. He will also participate in establishing a public health program in Ceylon. The HOPE will anchor at the capital and main seaport of Colombo. Although Mrs. Gorman will be busy with h er new baby, she hopes to do some public relations work for the S. S. HOPE. This Nicaraguan youngster turns the tables on h er HOPE nurse and fri end. WINTER, 1967 5 �S Seven Years Of Hope This editorial on the S.S. flope is reprinted from the July 15, 1967 SaturdaiJ Review. It was written by Mr. Richard L. Tobin, Managing Editor. HE COSTS $5,000,000 a year to operate-less than the price of one jet bomber. More than 8,450 major operations have been performed aboard her and some 100,000 persons treated. When she goes to a port she stays in the harbor for ten months, a symbol of America's concern for suffering. She is manned b y men in white, not khaki, and perhaps her greatest accomplishment is the training of 3,450 local doctors and nurses in the latest techniques-sometimes fifty years in advance of theirs. Her name is the S.S. Hope , and in the seven years she has been to sea she has visited seven nations on three continents and become the most welcome ship in the world. Three years ago on this page we reported to our readers the amazing early successes of the famed white hospital ship which set sail in 1960 for Indonesia and South Vietnam. She was then in South America and, at the end of a year when she sailed out of a Peruvian harbor, 40,000 Peruvians lined the shore and cast flowers upon the water, most of the populace tearful and some of them having walked barefoot for thirty miles to give thanks to their Yankee benefactors. In seven years the S.S. Hope has become a leading international health organization which has captured the imagination of people abroad and at home with its inexhaustible supply of warm, human accomplishment and goodwill. There are many who think that the S.S. Hope should be one of a fleet and, in fact, the ship is so popular within the medical profession that it has a waiting list of doctors (they serve in two-month shifts-for free). It goes without saying that she has a waiting list of sufferers in every continent. When the great white ship arrived off Nicaragua last year, the North Americans were not greeted with enthusiasm. On the contrary, there was considerable distrust, condescension, and skepticism until five Nicaraguan doctors and ailing natives discovered that the visitors 6 had nGt .come to show off but to teach. Hope doctors immediately found local assets not being utilized. A building near the Leon hospital had stood in disuse for years. Working closely with Nicaraguan counterparts, H ope teams turned it into a bright new maternity ward, the country's first. When the good ship left late last year, the President of Nicaragua made a personal visit and his aides told Hope's medical staff that "with your departure the people of Nicaragua are losing their best friend, the best messenger of goodwill any country ever sent us." One story out of Nicaragua told of a woman who had left her home south of Managua before dawn in order to be on time for an afternoon medical appointment for her seven-year-old daughter. She had carried the girl, who was suffering paralytic effects from polio, all the long weary miles. She also carried food for the day's journey. On this, her final visit, she had still another burden : a large, heavy bunch of bananas for those aboard the S.S. Hope . As one happy Nicaraguan doctor put it: "You can still see American flags flying in Corinto, flags put up to welcome the Hope into Nicaragua last January . . . . Little children in the streets like to run up and lightly touch the Americans (their heroes) and the people of Corinto have learned to say 'hi' and 'goodbye' in English." So popular was the S.S. Hope in Nicaragua that an interpreters' committee made up of local volunteers took turns making a four-hour round trip from Managua to the ship each day with translators. The Reverend Randolph Hellwig from Penfield, New York, chaplain aboard the S.S. Hope, believes that, because the ship had b een at Nicaragua for the better part of a year, any feeling that Americans are only selfish and grasping has been totally destroyed. Dr. John T . Logue, from Columbia, Missouri, who recently served aboard the Hope in Corinto, said: "It is more effective to take a shipload of knowledge to foreign coun- tries than it is to bring students to the United States for study." Dr. Walter C. Rogers, chief of staff of the S.S. Hope, told a recent interviewer: "Actually, if the ship were simply a service ship it would not be worth sending to any country, because the countries to which we go have such enormous problems of health that a 130-bed hospital (which is our size) couldn't possibly, in ten months, begin to dent the problems. Our only hope is to train people in all sorts of medical and paramedical fields to go back and train other people in their own country to do better work, to take more interest in their problems, and so on. The doctors we train, the hospital sanitary workers we train, the dieticians, the technicians, the nurses, are all capable of going back into their own community and training other people, and in this way you have the typical stone-in-pond-ripple effect of constantly improving the health situation in the country to which we go." The S.S. H ope is now in the midst of what may well be her most successful mission to date. One month after she tied up at Cartagena, Colombia, 2,619 patients had been treated aboard and in shore clinics, Hope surgeons had conducted 160 operations aboard and sixty-five more ashore, and Colombian children had been given 12,300 immunizations against polio, diphtheria, tetanus, and smallpox. By the end of this year at Cartagena, the S.S. Hope, already a No. 1 tourist attraction, is sure to break humanitarian records set by her on previous visits to six other ports. In an insane world of idiotic spending for fratricidal wars and "defense," the comparatively small expenditures for S.S. Hope have lighted a tiny, inexpensive candle in the darkness.

Clarl~e W escoe, M.D. REVIEW of some salient features of medical education today is essential to a discussion of medical education as it might be. The medical education we know today is for tomorrow ; what I plan to discuss is medical education of tomorrow. What we have today we claim to be the finest educational program ever developed and unequalled in the world. Our medical centers have become magnets for physicians from every part of the world. In large measure what we h ave created h as become the prototype for all and, if not the prototype, then largely the goal to which others aspire. It is a program recognized by the public not only for its excellence but also for its rigor. I have little doubt that the great esteem in which physicians are held is rela ted in large part to what the public recognizes as the most rigorous of all educational program s. Yet scien tific excellence and quantitative length have apparently not led to an educational program acclaimed with approbation b y all-particularly by the profession itself, occasionally by its student personnel, and even by the general public. A paradox exists. In order to understand the paradox it is necessary to review developments as we have seen them over a period of years. Dr. W. Clarke Wescoe presented this Stockton Kimball Lecture on Clinical Day, March 18, 1967. Dr. Wescoe has been Chancellor of the University of Kansas since 1960 . He went to the U niversity in 1951 as professor of Pharmacology and experimental m edicine. One y ear later, in 1952, he was named D ean of the School of Medicine. He held this position until he was named Chancellor. He was also director of the Medical Center from 1953 to 1960. H e received his M.D. from Corn ell Un iversity in 1944. WINTER, 1967 From apprenticeship on the one h and and proprietary schools on the other, a rapid evolutionary process led to the development of our medical schools almost entirely in the university context. Medicine took great pride in being a profession and a university discipline. That latter phrase h as been u sed rather loosely for there is great reason to believe that m edicine has rarely been embraced entirely within the university . Primarily it would be fair to say it has existed as a satellite of the university. 7 �From part-time faculty members actively engaged in the ordinary practice of mE:dicine there was a subtle but continuous change to the full-time faculty who are actively engaged in the practice of medicine, but almost entirely in a consultative practice. This incidentally is the way the practicing profession wanted it. From affiliated hospitals rather loosely attached to medical schools, we progressed to hospitals owned and controlled by the school itself. This followed university theory of course that all schools owned their laboratories and classrooms. The public was willing to pay for research and research it received-but more than that a research orientation in medical schools. Faculty members became investigators or vice versa. No school is to be criticized for what it did-take the funds available and use them for the purposes intended. When general facilities were required, research facilities were constructed. The reason was simple. Funds were available for the latter but not for the former. As knowledge increased logarithmically, specialties arose which became narrower and narrower in concept. No one would gainsay the value of specialism for a great many of the miracles of modern medicine are derived from it. Specialism did, however, splinter medicine and especially its educational program. The second World War gave great impetus to medical research. The triumphs of the medical corps were widely heralded and opened the eyes of the public to what great things could be accomplished if determined efforts were made and funds provided. Clinical teaching was governed in a slightly different way. Clinical faculty members engaged in consultative practice for the profession wanted it that way-no subsidized competition. A consultative practice required intensive and exhaustive diagnostic procedures and short-term hospitalization. The patient was referred, seen for a short period, and returned to his own physician, rarely if ever to again be seen in the medical center. There is nothing comprehensive by way of care in those circumstances. It is literally impossible to teach general principles of general and continuing medical care in the atmosphere of a totally consultative system. Funding provided a real problem. There was no school with sufficient endowment or sufficient public support to do all that it wanted to do or was expected of it. An obvious need for Federal support for a "national utility" was ignored so far as the basic program was concerned. The profession itself fought against the principle of such support although it went on record in favor of funds for research. Literally an older cry was paraphrased: "Millions for research, not one cent for education." 8 Perhaps one could say the medical schools took the expedient way. Perhaps one could say, in retrospect, they exercised poor judgment. What one cannot say is that they did not use the funds appropriately. Research orientation was created and flourished because of the availability of funds for research. Specialty orientation arose and flowered because consultative, not comprehensive, practice was encouraged. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �ters. There are specialized laboratories into which the patient rarely intrudes, and when he does, only for a brief test. There are hospitals designed for shortterm, episodic, intensive care. There are outpatient departments populated by the indigent, the aged, and the chronically ill. Th e exhibits at Spring Clinical Days There is little cause to wonder that comprehensive, continuing care is not being taught. Every development has militated against it. Yet that is exactly w h at the public appears to be demanding. I say " appears" because I am not arrogant enough to presume that I know what the public wants. I am not aware of any unbiased survey that would tell me or anyone o f the public's desires. I wonder, indeed, if the public really knows. As knowledge increased, new technology developed, the curriculum rigidified. Faculty members primarily concerned with research were less responsive to the needs of their students. Although flexibility in curriculum was encouraged by the accrediting agency, little flexibility developed. At a time when dramatic changes were occurring in baccalaureate level courses, few occurred in the medical fields. Brighter, more advanced students appeared, but the medical courses remained the same, far from stimulating and rarely challenging. Medical teaching has not kept pace with teaching in other disciplines. Medicine now has in its hands two far-reaching reports that suggest dramatic changes for the future. One addresses itself to the concern for family practice. The other addresses itself to a revision in part of graduate medical education. Neither suggests an abandonment of all that has been accomplished. Neither suggests a revolutionary approach to the future. Each however does place emphasis on the public concern for continuing, comprehensive health care. Each describes a concept of the physician many persons want. One calls him a family physician, the other a primary physician. Medicine cannot ignore these reports. Medicine cannot produce a physician indifferent to public needs and public desires. Curricula became less patient-oriented, less individual-inclined as medical centers took shape and grew. There are classrooms into which a patient never en- With the past in review, and these reports in hand, one is prepared to philosophize about medical education tomorrow. WINTER, 1967 9 �A great deal is spoken about the triad of responsibilities of any educational institution-teaching, research, and service. That those three responsibilities are present no one would deny. I cannot see them however as necessarily the equal supports of a three-legged stool on which one could sit comfortably and stably. I cannot conceive of them as co-equal. One of them is primary and that one is the educational or teaching function. The others, far from being co-equal are fortunate by-products. Medical schools were created to fill the social need for physicians to care for people. None, I submit, was created primarily as a research institute and none as a service center. The people of Kansas, for instance, built a general hospital in their university's medical center complex for one reason only, not because they needed another hospital, but because it was essential to the teaching program of the medical school they desired. And they desired a medical school because they wanted a continuing supply of physicians. So it is with all others. Those of us in education need constantly to remind ourselves of that. The public expressed its need and the public must be served. Our future concern for support must rest in the area of general support for the educational enterprise. There is really but one significant source of such support-the Federal government. What I see for medical education tomorrow therefore is increasing support from Federal sources both for the so-called private as well as the generally-called public schools. Medical care and the health of citizens is a national goal-it is self-evident that it should have national support directly and not by subterfuge. 10 There will be dramatic changes as well in the medical curriculum. These changes will relate to greater flexibility in the curriculum and greater individualization of program for the student. Some of these changes are already apparent in some medical schools. Like colleges now, medical schools will move toward admission of students to advanced standing and will provide for them much greater opportunity for independent study. In point of fact, it is only in this w ay that medical schools will be in a position to continue to attract the ablest of students. Those students already are pressing for such an opportunity. As witness to that fact let me quote from a report submitted in my own university by the senior students in Alpha Omega Alpha: The medical school system presently is divided into two broad section s, i.e., basic medical scien ces and clinical studies. Moreover, within these two major divisions a series of rigidly prescribed courses is faced, w ith little variab ility designed to meet specific requirements or desires of individual students. This closed sys tem presen ts the student with immediate, serious problems. Students entering medica l school have in common a liberal arts education while fulfi llin g certain premedical requirements. Many such students have majored in fields other than those applicable to the care of the human body, but do possess initi ative, drive, and quick conceptual gra sp. In many instances the rigid routine of didactic lectures and uninspirin g laboratory work frequently allows even the interested student to accept his lot and shut his mind to all but fulfilling requirements. Questions remain unasked and unanswered; conceptual thinking gives way to the absorption and regurgitation o f seemingly unrelated facts. Furthermore, the students finds that a gap d ifficult to bridge exists between the second and third years, between basic science and clinical application. He must relate hithe rto separate scientific principles to a highly complex in terrelated mass of organ systems while acquiring a new set of concepts and techniques b y which to deal THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �with the talking patient. Such application is woefully inadequate initially, and takes several years, at present, for proficiency. In reverse, the separation of clinical material from basic science concepts removes from many students a valuable incentive for study-incentive sorely needed in the first two years in the study of subjects as anatomy and microbiology. The unfortunate consequences, we feel, of a rigid, stratified curriculum juxtaposed with an explosion of knowledge are intellectual stultification, sciolism, and the repression of original thinking. We contend that a program which prescribes 36 months of lock-step education for a student can rarely sufficiently challenge him during the three months of elective work offered to avoid these consequences. We would support the establishment of a curriculum during the first two years which offered a core of uniform course work for three-four days per week supplemented by a program of individual selectivity during the remaining time Although the student would be required to participate, and would be evaluated, in both the core and selected programs, a curriculum of this type would provide all students a valuable measure of individuality and would encourage originality. Similar core curricula and independent study can and will be devised for the clinical aspect of teaching. The "lock-step" will be broken and medical education will become meaningful and scholarly. It will truly be a graduate-level program and not as it is now, a postbaccalaureate learning experience. Undergraduate medical education will be revised in such a way that comprehensive, continuing care will become a central part of the curriculum. Many experiments have been tried with mixed success in this challenging area. That their success has been mixed is related, I believe, to the single fact that they have been peripheral rather than central to the basic curriculum. They have in essence been grafted onto existWINTER, 1967 ing programs or have been designed to fill the hours shaved away from existing programs. The hospital itself, already described as designed for acute episodic care, is hardly designed for the teaching of comprehensive medicine. What is required for that is a vastly increased experience with ambulatory patients. What we will see develop then is imaginatively designed out-patient programs. The hospital will serve as an adjunct device rather than as it now serves-as the central focus of all clinical teaching. The profession itself will support such changes in recognition of the fact that general medicine cannot be taught in a totally consultative atmosphere. Model clinics and model programs will be devised such that the student will learn of the continuing components of medical practice. Thus will be solved the great deficit in medical education of today, the teaching of the concepts of the delivery of medical service. Th e coffee lin e. �The newest legislation relating to regional programs will permit interesting experiments in this area. Care must be taken however not to mistake the substitution of one small community hospital for another, a medical center, as experimentation or new conceptualization. Community-oriented medicine will come to the fore. Hospital-oriented medicine will recede but not disappear f rom the curriculuum. In these several ways finally, we will be able to educate our students such that they will have a basis from which to make a sound choice. By orienting our programs so that the student will experience the challenges of primary and continuing care as well as the ch allenges of specialty medicin e on an equal b asis, we will give him the opportunity to m ake a reason ed selection of his career. From that selection will flow graduate experience of similar natures-comprehensive medicine on the one hand, specialized medicine on the other. In that graduate p rogram , the internship will d isappear as a free standing year b etween medical school and residency. Finally it will be recognized as the anachronism it is, an unnecessary extension of medical education, a less than fruitful experience for the young physician and his patients. Residencies, like undergraduate med ical edu cation, will become more flexible in respect of content and will be individualized according to the needs of the individual student. More than that, competence and judgment will become the criteria for evaluation of the resident rather than time. 12 Much of our k nowledge in medicine w ill become computerized. Some clinics have already come far in this field . The day is not fa r o ff when the console with access to the computer will become a standard accessory in every physician's o ffice. By feeding into that computer the salient facts of the carefully elicited history, the cardinal points of the physical examination, a list of presumptive diagnoses will be presented. For these d iagnoses a list of corroborative laboratory examination s will be suggested, all fro m the enormous memory of the machine. Suggested therapy will be available through the same mechanics. All of this is no t to say tha t intelligen ce will be ruled out as a requisite for the physician. Rather it is to say that h is in telligence will be sharpened as h e feeds his d ata to the mach ine. Most impor tant there will be made available to him-time-that precious element so lacking to h im today. M edical education will teach him how to m ake the most of that in comm unicating with h is patient. Th e versatility and accuracy of the machine will actually restore the h umanistic component to the practice o f medicine. H ere is where the beh aviorial scien tist will become important to medical education. I caution though th at the beh avioral scientist not be looked upon as n ature's answer to m edicine' s problem. I would point out to the contrary that medicine was indeed the first of th e behavioral sciences. It was only recently disguised by the in fluence of tremendous technical advances as well as an explosion of k nowledge in the natural scien ces. THE BUFFALO M EDICAL REVI EW �There will be teachers whose prime function will be to teach communication-the art of the transmittal of information. Medical education will so improve in this regard that no longer will a patient be unaware of his diagnosis or ignorant of the medication he is taking. Further than that, if operated upon, he will know exactly what was removed and why. Not only the use of the computer but the further development of allied health professions as well will add time to the physician' s armamentarium. Medical education will speak to the student of team work and teach him how to exercise his leadership role. The medical student tomorrow will be taught, in a meaningful fashion, what skills can be developed in auxiliary professionals to be delegated to useful purpose and then to understand how one delegates roles. Lastly, as comprehensive model clinics are established and as regional programs become part of the basic pattern of education, the part-time teacher will reappear in ever-increasing numbers. His interest in curricular affairs will serve to keep the educational program in tune with the times. His experience will be invaluable in correlating actual practice and model practice for the student. His contribution will represent the spin-off from the field of actual practice to the educational setting just as new techniques, new tests and new therapy have represented and will continue to represent the spin-off from the research laboratory to practice. highly-skilled allied health personnel to be trained in ever-increasing numbers. All of this I am certain will be accomplished, not without pain and not withou t some trial and erro r. The speed of its accomplishment will d epend upon concerted effort. It will depend in large m easure upon our willingness to sit down, as d evoid of bias, as oblivious to vested interest as is possible, to reason together. Even more than that, the speed of its accomplishment will depend u pon the men of vision available and willing to provide leadership. What we need, to paraphrase John G ardner, is a num ber · of deans and faculty m embers who will take the large view of their leadership assign ment rather th an be satisfied with tending the store. It is they w ho will plan the grand strategy and then move to accom plish it. Just th e other day a colleague of mine, in quite another context, reminded me of an old G erman proverb w hich rough ly translates: The w a y one h olle rs in the forest d e termin es th e w a y the ech o will com e o u t. We need the men wh o know how to " holler into the forest." I trust that among you are some of them- for yours will be the thrill of achievement. • None of this emphasis on continuing comprehensive care will solve the problems of our sparsely populated areas, our small towns that are becoming smaller. To hold this out to them as a promise would be tragic. Medical education's promise to them will represent the WINTER, 1967 13 �DR. DouGLAS M.

Hunt 14 THE BUFFALO M EDICA L REV IEW �A DISTINGUISHED PoLISH scientist is the new chairman of the department of bacteriology and immunology in the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry at the university. He is Dr. Felix Milgram, who succeeds Dr. Ernest Witebsky. There is, however, a unique bond between the two men. Both were influenced to do research in immunology by the late pioneer in the field, Dr. Ludwig Hirszfeld. Both men left their native countries when the political systems became unacceptable. Dr. Witebsky came to the United States from Germany via Switzerland; Dr. Milgram from Poland via Paris and Venezuela. Dr. Witebsky was well established in Buffalo when he received an appeal from Dr. Hirszfeld's widow, Hanna, to help Dr. Milgram come to this country. He did so, commenting at the time that "I am making a payment of my debt to Ludwig Hirszfeld." It was 1958 when Dr. Milgram came to the university as a research associate professor of bacteriology and immunology. On July 1, 1965 he was promoted to full professor. Dr. Milgram received his M.D. in 1947 from the School of Medicine, University of Wroclaw, Poland . He also attended the Schools of Medicine at the Universities of Lwow and Lublin, both in Poland. He taught at the University of Wroclaw from 1945 to 1954. In 1953-54 he was director in charge of the Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy, Polish Academy of Science. From 1954 to 1957 he was professor and head of the department of microbiology, Silesian University, School of Medicine, Zabrze, Poland. In 1957 he served as a research associate at the WINTER, 1967 Pasteur Institute in Paris and the following year in Caracas, Venezuela. Dr. Milgram is editor-in-chief of the Internatio nal Archives of A llergy and Applied Im munology, a contributing editor to Vox San guinis, and associate editor of T rans fusion . He has published more than 160 articles on serology of syphillis and rheumatoid arthritis, organ and species specificity, autoimmunity and transplanta tion. He and his wife, Halina, also a physician, have two son s, Henry, 21, who is a fresh man in the School of Medicine, and Martin Louis, 16. • Dr. Milgram Suceeds Dr. Witebsl~y N ew Pediatrics Chairman THE NEW CHAIRMAN of pediatrics at the School of Medicine is Dr. Jean A. Cortner. He succeeds Dr. Mitchell I. R ubin, who retired in August. Dr. Cortner has been chief of the ped ia tries depar tment at Roswell Park Memorial Institute and pro fessor of pediatrics in the School of Medicine since 1963. As chairman he will also be pediatrician-in-chief at Children's Hospital. Born in Nashville, Tenn., he received his b achelor of arts degree in chemistry from Vanderbilt University in 1952 and his m edical degree three years la ter. He interned at Vanderbilt Hospital and then served both a residency and fellowship in pediatrics at Babies Hospital of Columbia University, New York City. He was chief of pediatric service with the 196th Station Hosp ital in Paris in 1959-61, and guest investigator and assistant physician in the depar tment of human genetics at Rockefeller Institute in 1962-63. A diplomate of the American Board of Pediatrics, he is the author or co-author of more than a dozen pap ers published in scientific journals. • 15 D r.

In 1929 he received his doctorate from Oxford with a thesis on excitation and inhibition. In 1932 he won the Staines Medical Fellowship at Exeter College and in 1934 he was appointed to a Fellowship at Magdalen College and University Demonstrator in Physiology. In 1937 he returned to Australia from Oxford to become Director of the Kanematsu Memorial Institute of Pathology at Sydney. In 1944 he was appointed professor of physiology at the University of Otago Medical School, Dunedin, New Zealand. He has been professor of physiology at the Australian National University since 1951. He was president of the Australian Academy of Science from 1957 to 1961. In 1960 he received an honorary Doctorate of Science from Cambridge University. In 1941 h e was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, and in 1963 he received the Cothenius Medal which is the hi ghest award of the German Academy of Natural Sciences. He is the recipient of the Royal M edal of the Royal Society and numerous other honors. He is also an Honorary Fellow of both Magdalen and Exeter Colleges, Oxford. Dr. Eccles is a Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences, an Honorary Fellow of the American College of Physicians, Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and an Honorary M ember of the American Philosophical Society, American Neurological Association and the American Physiological Society. He has received six honorary Doctorate degrees from A merican, Canadian, English and Australian universities. WINTER, 1967 After World War II, Dr. Eccles began the line of investigation that led to his knighthood in 1958 and the 1963 Nobel Prize that he shared with Alan Lloyd Hodgkin of Cambridge and Andrew Fielding Huxley of University College, London, England. By microelectric recordings from within nerve cells he discovered the mode of operation of the excitatory and inhibitory synapses that are the means of communication from one nerve cell to another. It is this synaptic linkage of nerve cells that provides the basis of operations of the nervous system with its tens of billions of individual nerve cells. The simpler patterns of this linkage are currently being investigated, particularly in the neuronal circuits of the cerebellum. The scholar-educator has taught, lectured and done research in the United States, England, New Zealand as well as in his native Australia. Much of his recent lecturing h as been concerned with the philosophical implication of the recent developments in neural sciences, in an effort to counteract such fallacies as the deterministic view of man and the reductionist view of life. Sir John has authored five books -"The Ph ysiology of Synapses" (1964) ; " Physiology o f N erve Cells" (1957); "Neurophysiological Basis of Mind" (1953); " Th e Cerebellum as a Neuronal Machine" (1967) ; and " Th e Post-Synaptic In hibitory Pathways o f the Central Nervous System" (1967). In addition, he has contributed more than 300 articles to scientific and professional journals. For the past year, Dr. Eccles has been a member of the American Medical Association Institute for Biomedical Research, founded in 1965. His research has been with the cerebellum. • 17 �, Practical Experience on an APFME Sumn1.er Fellowsbip Examining a new born baby DouGLAS L. RoBERTS, '69, wanted to gain as wide and general a picture in the field of medicine as possible. He wanted a more personal surgical, obstetrical and practical experience which would prove invaluable in preparing him for his junior year. He selected an APFME supported summer fellowship in his home town, Penn Yan, New York, a village located about 100 miles from Buffalo. The 7,000 inhabitants, serviced by a 100-bed hospital, offered him an opportunity to bring together and put into practice a number of disciplines- ophthalmology, surgery, and pathology. Working with a team of three physicians (surgeon Robert 0 . Jensen; anesthesiologists Robert McLaughlin and h is father William G . Roberts, M '37), his mornings would begin in surgery at the hospital, followed by afternoons spent at either the surgeon 's or general practitioner's office. The more personal contact and intensive followup of patients who are treated b y the same doctor offered him an excellent opportunity to apply what he had learned. • S u tu ring a scalp laceration, aid ed by his father H ospital rounds with ophthalmologist D r.

Thus it clinched its destiny, to become one of the truly great universities in our land. We should settle for nothing less. The Foundation was specifically to provide a "Margin of Greatness." Although New York State plans to provide probably in excess of $900 million in the decade 1962-1972, private monies received by the Foundation can be used exclusively for "seed" money, for projects innovating "extras" in an atmosphere of creativity. Voluntary support importance is described at the University of Michigan : " To assume that legislative grants underwrite the full budget of a typical state university is anything but the truth. Tax revenue, in effect, is comparable to the large endowments enjoyed by many private schools. In each case, the legislative appropriations and endowment income, respectively, furnish most of the_piece de resistance- the faculty salaries, building maintenance, utility expenses and other basic costs of operating the institution. In no sense do the tax dollars provide the hors d'oeuvres, the salad and the frosting on the cake which, freely translated, constitute the vital resources for such needs as scholarships, fellowships, special equipment, museum and library collections, research and certain physical facilities." We salute the University of Michigan because of its recent efforts in raising over $50 million of voluntary support to supplement their tax dollar support. 20 Chancellor Furnas himself a University of Michigan graduate (Ph. D.) expressed it at the time of establishment of the Foundation: "The State will supply the meat and potatoes of our future diet but our alumni and friends will supply the vitamins." President Martin Meyerson has expressed it: " Our university probably has the most exciting opportunity in higher education in the United States during the next decade. The University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc., and the UB Alumni Association have vital roles to play in responding to that opportunity." Without question the outstanding universities of America, and therefore the world, are those with a traditional cou pling of massive public and private support. A vigorous program of private support can provide extra monies for the innovative programs which make up the vital margin between standard performance and a standard of excellence. " A public institution is not basically concerned with survival, but if the challenge is to be met and the responsibility is to be discharged, survival and ordina ry programs will not be enough. Our goal is not just an ordinary institution nor a mediocre program, but a superior institution in all respects ." It has been estimated that in the past private support of UB (testamentary gifts) have accounted for 65 percent of our campus buildings. The persons who made ch aritable bequest provisions were not only rewarded through their lifetimes from the knowledge of what their gifts would provide through their wills, but their family names have been perpetuated. Witness: The Hayes Hall and Butler Carillon, Schoellkopf THE BUFFAlO MEDICAl REVIEW �Hall, Clement Hall, The Clark Gymnasium, Goodyear Hall, Acheson Hall and many other perpetual reminders of gifts of substance and / or services to establish, preserve, and extend the facilities of higher education to the youth of our city, state and nation. Until quite recently bequests and testamentary gifts and trusts were the usual form of giving. Recent years however have seen a tremendous advance of estate planning gifts which include advantages to the donor in addition to a sense of well being through altruism . It has become important to be thrifty in philanthropy through governmental encouragement of g iving to higher education. Trusts and "charitable life income contracts" which provide for " giving while keeping the income" also have tax benefi ts for property increased in value, by avoidance of capital gains taxes and charitable deductions up to thirty percent o f income and a five y ear carry over. These techni ca l arrangements shou ld of co urse onl y be mad e with proper legal advice. Recent reports by the Founda tion have pointed to 1966 -67 record year' s income $ 1 ,504,967 .51 which includ ed $ 38,389.04 in bequest::;. Previously, since its charte r was granted in June 1962 the Foundation had received bequests from Marion L. Tallman, Jeannette B. Barnum, John H . Cormack, Mrs . Ernestine W. Seymour a nd Lee Davi s and during the current year, the es tate of Miss A nna Speidel ($11,803.08) totals $48,216.26. These gifts have enabled the University to increase its National M eri t Scholars from four in 1965 to seven in 1966 and hopefully to 14 in 1967. These brillian t students can serve as germinating cultures to infuse our student body's additional academic excellence. One hesitates to talk in terms of expectancies but it has been estimated that alumni and friends have WINTER, 1967 provided in their wills, $2-$ 3 million potential gifts to higher education at SUNYAB through the University of Buffalo Foundation, Inc. For our part we encourage our friends to explore the opportunities for deferred giving, for example: Life insurance, either new policies or established policies no longer needed for the original purpose intended; a contingency clause included in a will can provide for the Foundation if an intended beneficiary is no longer here to receive a legacy ; a temporary term trust can give currently unneeded income to the Foundation with a re turn of the corpus to self or relative. Obviously some special a r rangements of deferred giving apply to wealthy people but many modest bequests can also preserve many names in perpetu ity as they aid the University in its program of future g rea tn ess. Our o wn C harles Gordon Heyd, M ' 09, has said in his " C hallenge of Adaptation" speech : "The concept o f a s tate endowed university did not mean that private donation s were to be abolished. On the contrary it m ean t that private gifts must be continued and increased .. .. The answer was the establishment o f the Uni versity o f Buffalo Found ation, Inc., successor to the heritage of private giving a t U. B... . I took action by giving a gift for their new en dowment fund . M y gift alone will not provide all their needs and I cord ially invite you to join with me in providing for the Foundation unrestricted endowment fund in y our own will. . . . In the making of a great University, we h ave fulfilled ourselves, and we dare : and we can conquer, and we may share in the rich quiet of the afterglow." • 21 �Dean Surgenor officially w elcomes the 1 971 class. Tbe Class Of 1971 It was a typical two-day orientation for the 1971 class of 104 (99 men, 5 women) . The newcomers met faculty and students, registered and were photographed. In his official welcome Dean Douglas M . Surgenor said, "you are entering a study of medicine at a crucial period in the history of medicine in our country, in a way most of u s have not been prepared for. Challenges that face us todaylife expectancy curves h ave plateaued; we rank about eighth in the world w ith regard to infant mortalit y; health care costs in this country are alarming and they will prove to be a big factor in your careers.

You are going to see tremendous 22 A chance to make new f riends during the lunch eon. changes in the way medicine is organized. " Let yourself explore in depth things that in terest you. We will have that attitude toward you. We hope you w ill live up to it." There was a lun cheon, a faculty reception and dinner, a tour and a lively panel discussion on medical student life. T h e Class of 1 971 met and talked with upper classmen on a variety of topics ranging from parking problems to study habits. The new class met with p receptors, they heard about th e library, first year classes in an atom y, biophysics, physiology, and psychiatry. There w ere physical examinations and the t radition al m edical case presentation during the second day.

It is for studies on the mode of origin and development of experimental high b lood pressure in laboratory animals. Another five-year grant of $331,360 will underwrite the training of graduate students in experimental pathology. This grant is from the Division of General Medical Sciences of the Public Health Service. The research grant, one of the largest in the history of the School of Medicine, was effective September 1 . It is a continuation of a previous six-year grant of Two Professors Receive One Million Dollar Grant $756,000. In 1960-62, the National Health Survey estimated that more than 22 million persons in the United States had high blood pressure. More than 60,000 persons died of hypertensive heart disease in 1963, and high blood pressure was a contributing cause of death in many other thousands. Using the electron microscope are Dr. I. Nakayama, post doctoral fellow in experimental pathology; Dr. Skelton; George Newman, graduate student in experimental pathology; and Dr. Peter Nickerson (seated), research assistant professor of pathology. Two FEDERAL GRANTS totaling $1,071,360 have been awarded to two School of Medicine professors for research and training in the field of experimental pathology. The recipients are Dr. Floyd R. Skelton, professor of pathology and Dr. Alexander C. Brownie, associate professor of biochemistry and pathology. 24 Dr. Alexander Brownie, associate professor of biochemistry and research professor of pathology, and Samuel Gallant, graduate student in experimental pathology, w ith the radio chromatogram scanner. �The training program, which started a year ago, now has an enrollment of 16 graduate students. " The time has long passed when medicine could rely solely upon physicians to do research, as well as teaching and clinical practice," Dr. Skelton said. " There just aren' t enough of them. This is especially true for the specialty of pathology. The national shortage of pathologists is acute. It is essential to train people for careers of research in pathology in order to meet the national need." The program in experimental pathology accepts medical and dental graduates already trained in the basic medical sciences, but it also accepts non-medical graduates who have not received such training. These graduates take the same basic science courses for the first two years that medical students take. The n onmedical graduates must have a thorough back&round in the various disciplines with which they willl:!e concerned as experimental pathologists. • Us ing a physiograph to measure blood pressure in a rat are Dr. Floyd Skelton, professor of pathology and two graduate s-tuden ts in experimental pathology, Dr. Agostino Molteni, and Richard Surace. The basic mechanism that causes blood pressure to rise is unknown. Both Drs. Skelton and Brownie hope their future studies will give new clues to the mystery. These studies are being conducted by 16 professional and technical workers in several different scientific disciplines (pathology, physiology, steroid biochemistry, and electron microscopy) . "Studies like the one on experimental hypertension require researchers trained in various disciplines who have some familiarity with all of the basic sciences," Dr. Skelton said.

" Here they are afforded an experience on which they can make a d ecision regarding a career in research," stated Dr. Herbert Jacobson, director of the Summer Institute." And they receive a stipend and credits for their summer experience by their respective schools." In the country club-type atmosphere, informality and rapport are quickly established between mentor and student. An individual consultation with D r. Winzler. Teaching At the Will Rogers Institute Dr. Winzler began his work early M onday morning -a visit to the laboratories, facilities, informal meetings with students and staff members. The afternoon seminar he presented covering the general aspects of glycoproteins was preceded by lunch where students Dr. Win zler talks at an af ternoon sem inar. ITwAs AN INFORMAL WEEK of teaching, learning and exchanging ideas. This is what Dr. Richard J. Winzler said about the summer seminar at the Will Rogers Institute. The professor and chairman of biochemistry was among nine specialists invited to participate in the experimental research program at Saranac Lake, New York. The sixth summer institute (1967) drew scientists from the Albany M edical College, the New York State Medical Center, the University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, N ew York University, and the M ax Plan ck Institute for Biochemistry. The scientists work ed gratis during the 10-week summer session with eight outstanding medical students. The students, who were recommended, came from England, Colombia, the 26 �garding their own research programs, accounted for much of the week's activities. Student research progress reports were scheduled on Friday. "What impressed me most," stated Dr. Winzler, "was the informality of the discussion between students and staff. A good many of the students intend to embark on research careers after this exposure. For myself, it was a really worthwhile week." An info rmal even ing session for students and fa culty. and staff mixed informally. "We are beginning to learn something about the chemistry of glycoproteins ... to appreciate that they occur in a large number of interesting components- cell membranes, enzymes, hormones. But much remains to be done." Questions from the audience of faculty and students spilled over into the evening's informal session held at the home of a permanent faculty member. A seminar on biochemistry of cell membranes based on his personal research was presented by Dr. Winzler on Wednesday afternoon. Informal research sessions, and individual consultations with faculty and students reWINTER, 1967 The Institute was originally established to treat vaudeville performers for tuberculosis. Expanded to include all members of the entertainment industry, over 5,000 have been treated at the 70-bed hospital. Fund sources include the entertainment profession as well as a public appeal. Aside from restoring patients to health at no cost, research and prevention are Institute goals. In 1963, clinical research laboratories w ere established, and an effective anti-TB vaccine was created. Expansion of medical manpower in the specialized field of serious respiratory diseases is a further goal of the Institute. • R esearch was also on the agenda. �National Medical Shrine at Fairfield "The executive committee of the medical alumni association favors the establishment of a National Shrine of Medicine at Fairfield, (Herkimer County) N.Y." That's what Dr. Charles F. Banas, association president said. According to an editorial that appeared in the November 21, 1966 JAMA, Fairfield is the site of the oldest medical school building in the state, and possibly in the coun try. Fairfield Academy was founded in 1802 by Captain Moses Mather. A year later the academy was incorporated by the Regents of the University of the State of New York, and in 1812 the College of Physicians and Surgeons was established. The medical school was continued until1840. It graduated only 555 physicians, but its faculty and graduates played a significant role in the development of Geneva Medical College, the Cleveland Medical College which later became the medical department of Western Reserve University. In 1846 three of Fairfield' s outstanding teachers- Drs. Frank H. Hamilton, Charles Coventry, and Austin Flint, Jr.- organized the Buffalo Medical College. Among Fairfield's distinguished grad uates were Dr. D aniel Brainard, a surgeon and founder of Rush medical College in Chicago, and Dr. Nathan Smith Davis, a pioneer in founding the AMA. The main building of the Fa irfield Medical Institution still stands. A lth ough th reatened by time and indifference the building is probab ly th e oldest extant m edical school structure in th is coun try. (Ph otograp h by R o bie Studio, I nc., H erkim er, N. Y., obtain ed with assistance of AMA and M rs. Marguerite H . Dieff enbacher.) 28 Today Fairfield Medical College consists of one remaining building. Largely through the efforts of Mrs. Marguerite Dieffenbacher of Fairfield the college has not been forgo tten. More help and support is needed if Fairfield Medical College is to become a national shrine, according to Dr. Banas. • THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Regional Medical Program Develops Intensive Coronary Care Program The Regional Medical Program (heart, cancer, stroke) for Western New York is developing an Intensive Coronary Care Program. It is designed to help improve patient care and to alleviate the shortage of nurses skilled in intensive coronary care nursing. This program is unique in the area. It includes a three week session of instruction at the University plus another three weeks of clinical experience on a rotating basis in the five Buffalo participating hospitalsSisters, Buffalo General, Meyer, South Buffalo Mercy, and Veterans. All have coronary care units in operation. Augmenting the program will be lectures b y cardiologists, nurse specialists, laboratory technologists, pharmacologists, and social workers. There will be four session s a year. Each six week session can accommodate 20 registered nurses from within the region. This area includes eight countiesAllegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Wyoming, and the county of Erie in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Dr. John R. f. Ingall directs the Regional Medical Program from his office at 2211 Main Street, Buffalo, New York. The advisory group to the Regional Medical Program is known as the Health Organization of Western New York. It has representatives from all the counties, their medical societies and major institutions. • A coronary patient (ri gh t ) is shown in th e s econd phase of care k nown as limited am bu lation.

Retires From Active Practice Orr A university pediatrics professor is retiring from active practice. He is Dr. William J. Orr, M '20. The 69-year-old pediatrician will retain his title of clinical professor of pediatrics in the School of Medicine until September, 1968. Dr. Orr has cared for three generations of children, taught two generations of medical students. He also found time to serve his community and his university. He h as been chairman of the Erie County Medical Society's Advisory Committee on Polio since the early days of the Salk vaccine. Dr. Orr headed the Medical Division of the university's centennial drive more than 20 years ago. In 1962 the Buffalo Pediatric Society honored him for his " outstanding contribution to pediatrics and for his important role in establishing Buffalo as a pediatric center." In addition to Children's Hospital, where he was an attending pediatrician, he was an assistant at Meyer Memorial Hospital and a consultant at M ercy Hospital. Dr. James Orr, M '53, a pediatrician in Gallipolis, Ohio, is one of his four children. • Dr. Orr is the former president of the society, as well as the 8th district branch of the State Medical Society, the Buffalo Academy of Medicine, the Children's Hospital Medical Board, the General Alumni Board (1953-54) and the Medical Alumni Association of the University. In 1954, The Buffalo Evening News named him one of the year's 10 outstanding citizens for his work as founder and executive committee member of the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education, and his activities in helping obtain an institution for mentally-retarded children in West Seneca. He was elected to the Council of the university in 1956 and was appointed to that body by Governor Rockefeller when the University became affiliated with the State University. Dr. Orr interned at Buffalo General Hospital and served as a resident physician in pediatrics at Children's Hospital. He sub sequently spent two years at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Medical School in Baltimore before returning to Buffalo. 30 M rs. Mu rphy Mrs .

RoGERS, III, M '45, was one of three Buffalo area surgeons who voluntarily spent 60 days aiding Vietnamese civilians. They all left families and busy practices to care for the sick and injured without remuneration. W.LLIAM At the request of the government of South Vietnam, the American Medical Association two years ago launched a program, Volunteer Physicians for Vietnam, under contract with the United States Agency for International Development. Dr. Rogers spent April and May (1967) as a physician volunteer at one of the 18 provincial civilian hospitals. He received his transportation and an expense allowance of $ 10 a day. While in Vietnam Dr. Rogers wrote a series of ten articles, " Vietnam Log," for the Courier Express. Dr. Rogers said " the Vietnam doctors were good physicians, but medicine in Vietnam compares to medicine in this country 50 years ago." There are only about 1,000 Vietnamese doctors in all of Vietnam, and 700 of these are in the military service. Another 100 are in administrative or teaching positions, leaving 200 to take care of a civilian population of 16 million. Major causes of illness and death in Vietnam are diseases seldom seen in the United States any moretyphoid, polio, tuberculosis. American physicians working in Vietnam are handicapped by many problems - the lack of pain-killing WINTER, 1967 drugs, the fact that there is no running water or airconditioning in many hospitals except in the operating rooms, and the shortage of equipment. Dr. Rogers h ad to use bricks picked up on the grounds as weights for a patient in traction. Volunt eer Physicians Serve in Vietnam "The Vietnamese are a quiet, reserved people, but they are almost embarrassingly grateful for what we did for them," ~r. Rogers said. " The common belief that life is cheap in the Orient is far from true. The Vietnamese love their families as much as we do. They worry just as much when th ey are sick and grieve just as deeply when they die. "No one could be more devoted. A woman will sit for hours at the bedside of a sick parent, husband or child, fanning the patient endlessly to make him a little more comfortable." Families accompany patients to the hospital and remain with them until they leave, sleeping beside their beds-or in them, if there is no other patient who n eeds the space. Often they cook the patient' s meals on the grounds outside the hospital. Dr. James F. Upson, a general surgeon, who lives in Orchard Park and practices in Buffalo spent the spring of 1966 in Vietnam, while Dr. Donald J. Meehan, a general surgeon in Springville, was there abou t the same time as Dr. Rogers. In 1960 another Buffalo surgeon, Dr. Elliot B. Hague, an eye specialist, went to Vietnam to work with civilian patients under the auspices of Catholic Relief Services. • 31 Dr. Rogers �Selecting a New Dean As a first step in the selection of a new dean for the School of Medicine, President Martin Meyerson appointed a committee to work with him in screening candidates. This committee will include : Dr. Warren Bennis, provos t, faculty of social sciences and administration; Dean James A. English, School of Dentistry; Dean Ruth T. McCrorey, School of Nursing; Dean Daniel H. Murray, School of Pharmacy; Dean J. Warren Perry, School of Health Related Professions ; Drs. Harold L. Segal, professor of biology ; David K. Miller, professor of medicine, chairman of the screening committee; Douglas M. Surgenor, member ex officio; and William F. Lipp, associate clinical professor of medicine, member-at-large. To complete committee membership, President Meyerson requested that six members of the Medical School faculty be designated by the executive committee of the Medical School. Names of candidates were solicited from the medical faculty at large. Approximately 39 responses received from the faculty and five from departments brought the total number of recommendations to 120. Of this total, 21 were recommended by at least four faculty members. The executive committee acted on these recommendations and selected: Drs. Evan Calkins, chairman, department of medicine; David T. Karzon, professor of pediatrics and associate professor of virology ; Edward F. Marra, chairman, department of preventive medicine; Hermann Rahn, chairman, department of physiology; Clyde L. Randall, chairman, department of obstetrics and gynecology; and Worthington G . Schenk, Jr., professor, surgery and medicine. At its first meeting with President Meyerson, the committee was charged with preparing a list, to be submitted to him b y September 1968, of approximately 32 12 local, national, and foreign candidates. The committee, having received letters from members of the faculty suggesting candidates, urges further faculty input via phone or in writing to any committee member or to Dr. Walter F.

MARTIN MEYERSON was installed as the University's second president and tenth chief administrator May 29 by Dr. Samuel B. Gould, State University Chancellor. Mr. Seymour H . Knox, University Council Chairman, presided at the convocation at Kleinhans Music Hall. In his inaugural address, Mr. Meyerson stressed the "deep honor" of being president of"a university once private and independent and now proudly public, continuingly independent and firmly professing its dedication to service as well as truth." "One hundred and twenty-one years ago this month, Millard Fillmore and his associates in this city founded our University. They did so by establishing a professional school, a school of medicine. Few American Universities grew from such origins; usually they evolved from liberal arts colleges or seminars. Later, they developed from the land grant colleges. When our University expanded in the 19th century, it did so by adding the professional callings of Pharmacy, Dentistry and Law," President Meyerson said. President and Mrs. Martin Meyerson and children Adam, 14, and Laura, 12, receive congratulations. The youngest, Matthew, 4, is not shown. The Inauguration of a President 2 " The founders of that school of medicine in 1846, perhaps without intention, launched this University along the patterns of the great medieval universities of Europe-places such as Bologna which began as a school of law, Salerno as a school of medicine, and Paris as a theological school. The University was then to pass through an evolution from education for one profession, for many professions and to education for the arts and sciences." " . .. My colleagues and I," the President emphasized, " hope to accomplish three major tasks" in order THE BU FFAlO MEDICAl REVIEW �to achieve a possible new synthesis of learning and respond to the new cultural spirit among students: 1. "To transform professional education by making it more humane, intellectual, research-minded; 2. "To add to the intrinsically valuable traditional academic disciplines that devotion to social purpose, which is so typically a part o.f the spirit of service to the professions; 3. "To provide a new path to liberal education through the methods, insights and research of transformed professional education." "We intend to increase the strengths in our professional schools, our commitment to liberal education, and our efforts to meet the aspirations of the young," President Meyerson said. " In order to achieve a sense of the integral, and a marriage between the concrete and the theoretical, the rationalistic and the experimental, we here in Buffalo have taken educational steps of a kind which may hold great promise. In our academic reorganization, these past months, we have organized the University into seven faculties to serve both undergraduates and graduates: a Faculty of Arts and Letters, a Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration, a Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, a Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences, a Faculty of Educational Studies, a Faculty of Health Sciences, and a Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence. This arrangement reflected a concern that in every academic enterpri!\e matters of theory should never be too distant from those of practice, and that the practical should never be too distant from its sources in theory." The chief executive went on to say we must combine FALL, 1967 the theoretical and the practical. We are doing everything possible to remove the barriers between the disciplines. We are trying to develop bridges among the various faculties . One of our bridges-the new University College for all undergraduates-will draw upon the seven faculties for instruction which will be specifically non-professional but both liberal and preprofessional as well. President Meyerson pointed out another of our bridges will be a college system in which faculty, graduate and undergraduate resident and non-resident students from all fields, will be provided 'intellectual homes' in campus units of no more than 1,000 members. These colleges will provide many formal and informal opportunities to talk across disciplines. "We hope to create a learning environment for faculty and students alike that is so stimulating that we will achieve tremendous lateral learning from student to student, student to teacher, teacher to teacher, as well as learning in depth from teachers to students. We expect an exchange of ideas from musicians to mathematicians, from physicists to physicians. " Desirably, personal and scholarly ties will lead to collaborative teaching and research in hitherto unexplored combinations and permutations of scholarly and professional interests. That is why we rejoice that our Faculty of Health Sciences will be able to join with our 40,000 other students and teachers on our new campus. Ideally, curricula and related outside activities will be revised so that the contributions of each field will be made intelligible and available to others." " .. . We wish to create the conditions of such an intense learning environment not only for the advance- 3 �ment of the fields, and not only to better educate our students, but also to aid our faculty," Mr. Meyerson said. . We are committed to transforming professional education by making it more intellectual or reflective, by increasing its theoretical understanding, by engaging in more basic research, by sharpening methodology, by questioning accepted practices, and by training men and women who are flexible, civilized, and responsible. Only in this way can we provide for true utility-not only to help the engineer, the communication specialist, the teacher, the business administrator, to be prepared to function as a professionallO, 15, and 20 years from now, but to make him more responsive to the new task s he is bound to be called upon to undertake by enlarging his understanding of the nature and origins and purposes of his calling and of the society which he serves. The Inaugural Address. "In this discussion of the linkage of professional education to liberal education, I am mindful of the concern I first expressed of how the University is to respond to the new student spirit. The spirit, which has captivated many students and young faculty, is a kind of new romanticism. Its roots are mostly not intellectual, for the new spirit is emotional, impetuous, and sometimes angry and rebellious. It occasionally seeks to erase authority and to dismiss the p ast. It rejects dogma and is given to spontaneity. It seeks visual and sense expression as well as extensive intellectual play. Some of the spirit is expressed in art, poetry, theatre, music, dance, and literature. It must not be forgotten that the arts today, like the arts of 4 the past, show us beauty where our eyes and ears are not accustomed to see it. Like Wordsworth, who saw a new beauty in common language and common objects, our visual artists see beauty in common objects of our environment and bring into a new and, to our eyes, strangely ordered relationship these elements of our culture. This spirit, this search for new relationships and new beauty is apparent in both high and low, or popular, culture ; in music, for example, we have the new sounds, silences and rhythms of John Cage and the Beatles. Universities are ceasing to be the stronghold of the verbal and the quantitative alone. " This new spirit has earlier origins. The parallels with late eighteenth and nineteenth century romanticism are many. The personal behavior of a Lord Byron, the strange attraction to drugs of a Coleridge and a DeQuincey, the rhetoric of the nineteenth century struggle in Greece, the cult of youth, the almost Freudian belief of a Goethe and o th ers in the unconscious, the primitive, the supernatural, the exploration of the infinite potentialities of the self-all seem familiar once again. " We cannot dismiss the new romanticism or irrationalism any more than we can the old. For the new romanticism, like the old, is a part of an intense exploration of the meaning of individual freedom, not only from what seem to the young to be various forms of bureaucratic and political tyranny whether in Washington, unions, corporations or universities, but from some forms and habits of stereotyped intellectual and artistic custom. What may puzzle us now, because we cannot see the end of what is beginning, may well be the beginnings of a new and responsible dimension THE BU FFALO M ED ICA L REVIEW �in society as well as on the campus. After alt we owe much to that earlier romanticism which helped establish the political liberties of Europe and the importance of the individual in our culture, and which left us a great legacy of art. In looking at the new spirit, we shall surely want to endorse the sense of innovation, and to reinforce the sense of commitment. Remember that whatever else students today are, they are also the generation of volunteers in the cause of the needy whether in the South or the slums of the Northern cities or the developing countries of the world. Very many of the new generation who will inherit our world deny the importance of wealth, name and fame. Some are disillusioned and concerned only with concrete existence for themselves in the here and now. Others are motivated to service in much the inspired and religious way St. Bernard was. I abhor the excesses of nihilistic behavior we see these days. However, I applaud the movement of spirit which produces the humility of spiritual service of which we are proud. " We are a university of the State of New York with national and even international ties, but we remain dedicated to the welfare of metropolitan Buffalo. One of the best ways to implement that dedication is to further our intellectual, cultural and professional excellence and attractiveness. None of my proposals will come about automatically; the choices and the intellectual and moral tasks lie before us in the University community and in the larger community to which we belong." Chancellor Samuel P. Capen, at his inaugural, " the month before I was born," questioned whether the university would have " the courage to be different." "If we have the courage to make our heritage of FALL, 1967 professional education even more humane and intellectual than it is, we will have improved the professions, opened wholly new paths in the process to a liberal education which can be shared by all, and captured the sense of commitment and professing to which very many students and teachers aspire. If we have that courage to be different, we shall not long be different because the model of the State University of New York at Buffalo will become a model for m any, a model in which the aims we professors profess of teaching, research and service will have new meaning," President Meyerson concluded. President-emeritus Cli fford C. Furnas, Presiden t Meyerson, and S tate U nivers ity Ch ancellor Sa muel B. Gould. �The President's message received a standing ovation from an audience of 2,500 at Kleinhans. The inaugural pageant was a blend of the modern and the medieval. It was a rich mixture of colors, sights, and sounds. Prayers were oHered by clergymen of three faithsThe Very Reverend Harold B. Robinson, S.T.D., Dean, St. Paul's Cathedral; the Most Reverend James A . M cNulty, D.C., Bishop of BuHalo; and Rabbi Martin Goldberg of Temple Beth Zion. Three early American anthems and a work of Claudio Monteverdi were sung by members of the U niversity Choral ensembles, RobertS. Beckwith, conductor. The reception at the Frank Lloyd Wright House, 125 Jew e tt Parkway, the Me y erson's new home. The colorful, academic procession was led by William W. McQuilkin, a graduate of Oxford University, England. Delegate-representatives from 68learned and professional societies, foundations, and educational organizations, 23 units of the State University of New York (18 of the presidents), and 225 other colleges and Universities, joined 215 University faculty in full academic attire. Costumes of blue, crimson, green and black adorned with piping and hoods of various hues and topped with either the traditional tasselled mortar boards or the more flamboyant headdresses of European universities were common. On the Kleinhans stage, a platform party of 42 national, state and local dignitaries, faculty and administration, took their places. Speaking on behalf of the nation's private educational institutions Yale University President Kingman Brewster said, "students must learn education is not a business where the customer is always right. The taxpayer must know that it is not a situation where he 6 who pays the composer can call the tu ne. The faculty must prize its right of academic self-determination b ut not deprive itself of its right to be governed." One of Presiden t Meyerson's closest friends and associates, former University of California President Clark Kerr, spoke on behalf of the nation' s public universities : " This inauguration is quite beyond the ordinary for two reasons. First, it marks another great step forward by the State University of New York. W e have marvelled from afar at the awakening of this slumbering giant. Its rapid rise to a position of strength is one of the miracles in the history of h igher education in the United States. The University of California, which until so recently so completely ignored it, now finds it a stern competitor for its ablest talent ... "The second reason is the character of the man being inaugurated today; and I should like to speak quite personally about him .... During th e times of troub le at Berkeley when Mr. Meyerson served as acting chancellor, we all came to know of his skill and persuasiveness in relationships with people, his ingenuity in developing solutions, his leadership in replacing destructive tendencies with constructive goals, his inherent decency and courtesy. During this time of trouble the campus also came to know Margy Meyerson for her optimism, her warm regard for people, her sensitive response to needs. "So I speak of Martin Meyerson with appreciation, with admiration, with aHection. I expect that he will not only give the finest of leadership to BuHalo but that THE 'BUFFALO MEDICAL REV IEW �he will soon become one of the prominent intellectual leaders of higher education in the United States ... " At the investiture, Chancellor Gould invited President M eyer son "to enter this new kind of academic world that is gradually losing all resemblance to the old world we both once knew. The new world is one of unremitting tension in the midst of eroding authority, in m an y ways a counterp art of the larger world which h as also changed so r adically. It h as new kinds of problems-of growth, of academic and social change, of interrelationships within and outside the academic community-all more unclear than ever even in their definition, to say nothing of their solution. " A s it h appens, h owever, President Meyerson is no stranger to this recent phenom enon .. . He assumes his duties officially now with nothing hidden in terms of what he may expect. I assure you that this calls for no sm all amount of courage." under his skillful and patient direction it will move with increasing rapidity and with a new and m ore positive sense of excitement. " I speak for the State University when I pledge to President Meyerson our total and unequivocal sup port and wish for him the success he so obviously d eserves." Other greeters included Stewart L. Edelstein, president, Student Association; A r thur D . Butler, vice chairm an , Faculty Advisory Council; D r. Stuart L. Vaughan, A choral interlude by members of the Un iversity Choral Ensembles . " But," Ch an cellor Gould continued, "let m e hasten to add th at th e picture is not all somber. There is an even greater multitude of people surrou nding the n ew presiden t who not only will wish him w ell, but will support h im solidly and bravely. This he should be aware of also. I hope and trus t that in such awareness he will find added strength and perhaps even a sen se of happiness about his work. We have only admiration for the way President Meyerson has m et his problems with straightforward, unflin ching and judicious d ecision s in keeping with the highest of academic traditions. This institution is h aving a new b irth, accompanied by a great time of labor, to be sure, but with a marvelous issue.

F. lngall is the new director of the Regional Medical Program (heart, cancer, stroke) of the Health Organization of Western New York, Inc. He will also be associate dean and assistant professor of surgery in the School of Medicine. Dr. lngall has been associate and senior cancer research surgeon at Roswell Park Memorial Institute since July 1963. The Regional Medical Program, of which the Health Organization of Western New York, Inc. is the advisory group, was established in 1966 with a $300,000 grant from the United States Department of Health Education and Welfare (National Institutes of Health). The Research Foundation of the State University of New York (Albany) received the grant. Dean Douglas M . Surgenor is coordinator of the program which covers seven western New York counties-Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Wyoming-and the county of Erie in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Purposes of the program are to link together participating physician s and medical facilities of the communities in the region, to co-ordinate projects between major hospital groups, and to improve existing services for the benefit of patients.

PELLEGRINO, M.D. Dr. Pellegrino. in their aims and functions, neither the medical school nor the university can meet their broadening social and intellectual obligations. But, even though most medical schools operate under university egis, the fullest potentialities of this association are only infrequently realized. In actuality, the relationship is too often strained and resembles an unstable marriage with both parties striving with modest success to keep up appearances. WrTHOUT THE CLOSEST CONGRUENCE It is of course true that the medical school started as a part of the Medieval University. And, in Salerno, it was the medical school which generated the university. Yet, even in these somewhat idealized situations, mutual understanding was not perfect. The medical faculty, since it dealt with "applied" knowledge was regarded as inferior to the faculties of Arts or Theology. In our country, most medical schools developed outSummary of a talk given before the faculty at Niagara Falls November 7, 1966. Dr. Pellegrino is director of the medical center; professor and chairman of the department of medicine, State University of New York at Stony Brook . He received his B.S. degree from St. John's and his M.D. from New York Un iversity. 12 side university influence and only too often had the barest of academic pretensions. Even those with university ties were geographically and intellectually separated from their parent universities. Only in the last 50 years have medical schools really begun to enter into the main streams of university life. The current relationship is characterized by the perturbations which accompany a transitional state. The process of mutual acculturation is under way, but substantial obstacles still prevent medical schools and universities from recognizing the essential complementarity of their missions. Indeed, even now there are some in the university who feel that the critical mass of a medical center may force the university off its true course. They question seriously the validity of university involvement in medical education. In their turn, some medical educators have petulantly c.:illed for the establishment of independent " medical" universities. Such suggestions can be little more than romantic strivings for an idyllic simplicity of academic organization, hardly tenable in today's world. More than that, however, they constitute a retreat from the responsibility to make both the university and the medical school optimum instruments for man's social and intellectual well being. There are man y compelling reasons for the conjunction of university and medical school. Medicine today extends from the molecular basis of life to the community. It cannot thrive without the sustenance of all the university disciplines from the laboratory to the social sciences and humanities. The use of common library facilities, the provision of a continuum of educational experiences, cooperative interdisciplinary graduate programs and research, the maintenance of THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �rigorous academic standards for appointment and promotion, the opportunity for cultural contact for faculty members and, above alt the subtle and pervading influence of the university tradition as a way of lifeto preserve, transmit, and generate knowledge-all these are advantages a medical school gains in proportion to its willingness to participate in the life of the university. The university, too, in perhaps less obvious ways, needs the medical school. Its basic scientists are increasingly an essential resource for graduate and undergraduate teaching and research in biology. The university hospital is a laboratory for sociat biologic, and physical scientists whose concerns are now extending to include some of the most immediate problems of the human conditioni the university hospital is a potent instrument in the hands of the university in cultivating its new partnership with society in a period when health is a major public interest. Law, theology, sociology, and economics can find in the medical setting exemplifications of some of man's most pressing personal and social problems, ready for investigation. Medicine itself can be a liberal subject if properly taught. Cogent as these reasons may be, they have nonetheless not sufficed to effect that consonance of goals the university and its medical school must share in today's world. There are many barriers to effective communication, most of them based in divergent expectations and differences in the meaning of the word "integration." Thus, for the university faculty making the medical school a part of the university, evokes a series of expectations: The medical faculty must not regard itself as a special group, but will take full part in the life of the university-its committees, culturat and FALL, 1967 social activities. The same criteria for appointment and promotion shall apply in the university. While a salary gap now exists between medical and non-medical faculties, efforts must be made to reduce this differential, especially in the case of the basic sciences where the added justification of clinical responsibility does not exist. Though not explicitly stated, university faculties expect the university hospital to support itself and not deplete resources vital to the rest of the university. Academic clinicians are seen essentially as practitioners and are expected to be self-supporting at least in part. Many expect the clinical faculty to provide m edical care to the rest of the campus as a faculty f ringe benefit. The low student to faculty ratios in the medical school are difficult to comprehend because of lack of familiarity with clinical teaching methods. The President and administrative officers see the medical center as one among many other units of the university and must judge its need for buildings, budgets, and faculty against the total mission of the university. Clinical investigation is regarded as " applied" and therefore of a lower esteem than research for its own sake presumed to be characteristic of other segments of the university. These and many more expectations, partial truths, and preconceptions add to the academic xenophobia which greets the medical school as it moves toward university involvement. The medical faculty, too, has its own encrustation of cultural barnacles which hamper communication with the rest of the university. It tends to exalt its clinical role and responsibilities and expects the university to bear the burdens of university hospital operation without demur. It demands separate budgeting, purchasing, salary scales and much prompter action on all matters than is customary in the academic bureaucracy. M edi- 13 �tures as a university discipline, it will lose much of its vocational cast. But, until it does it will appear to the university as an alien-a necessary but culturally deprived addition to the university family. These differences in expectations and attitudes are deliberately overdrawn. They are only rarely manifest in pure form, yet there is enough truth in such characterizations to make the integration of medical center and university a complicated and gradual process which demands specific attention on the part of both parties. The benefits to society of a constructive interchange between medicine and its university confreres are too urgently needed to permit any real alienation to develop. Still, it is essential to recognize these divergencies and not to bury them in romantic notions. The Niagara Falls discussion sessions. cal faculties regard the university faculty as somewhat impractical and will at times be frankly anti-intellectual. It will protest that it does not have time for such things as university committee work. Despite these attitudes, the medical faculty will expect the university to be proud of its medical school and accept it into the intellectual community as an equal. It will expect all of the prerogatives of the academic life-time for research, sabbaticals, tenure, fringe benefits, and a voice in making university policy. These divergencies in mutual expectations are intensified by fundamental differences in attitude which operate as further divisive forces. By and large, the medical faculty is more conservative socially and politically than its university counterpart. It is accustomed to a more authoritarian organizational structure and is far more empirically minded. As medicine rna- 14 The dialogue must at all costs be continued. In every attempt at communication between groups with diverse interests, there are several stages. At first, there is a rather aggressive feeling-out of positions as each states its preconceptions and expectations. At this point the atmosphere is emotionally charged. If the conversation is not broken off, there gradually follows the realization that the same words arouse a different configuration of feelings and meanings in each party. The reasons for failure to fulfill expectations may then become understandable. Differences are then accepted as each party begins to listen to the other and revise its own preconceptions. Enlightened self-interest will then indicate the benefits to be gained in mutual endeavors and dispel imagined threats. Each medical school and its university is today in some stage of this communication process. Each must assess the stage at which the process has halted or the discussion broken off. The forces outside the university and the medical school are not to be resisted. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Each institution hence has the responsibility to advance the communication process in the public interest. Attitudes and behavior change slowly. It is not to be expected that the medical or the university cultures will easily dissolve in a roseate mist of academic gemutlichkeit. It is essential that universities and medical schools maintain those things specific to their own missions while they seek ways to partake of the good things the other can offer. It is equally essential that the differences in perception of their inter-relationship be recognized and used as the base from which to begin cooperative arrangements. Certain specific measures can facilitate an interchange of ideas without capitulation of one part of the university to the other: (1) liberalization of the medical curriculum to allow medical students to take course work in the university d epartments; (2) interdisciplinary research and graduate programs not only in the basic biologic sciences as is now customary, but also in the social sciences and even the humanities ; (3) inviting undergraduate university students to work in research projects in the m edical school; (4) closer collaboration between medical school faculty and university faculties on details of premedical education and admission requirements ; (5) asking university faculty members to participate on medical school admission committees ; (6) making the university hospital more available for research to university colleagues in social and behavioral sciences; (7) involvement of appropriate university faculty in policy making in university hospital; (8) r ecognition by university administrators of the principle of subsidiarity-a unit as large and as specialized as a medical center will justify a large measure of decentralization in managerial functions; (i.e.) a system of strict full-time appointments for clinical faculty members so that their commitment to ins titutional goals can be unequivocal. FAll, 1967 Many more devices can be developed. The specifics are less important than the differences in attitude and behavior and the provision of means for significant contacts between medical school and university. The most fruitful contacts are those which involve a mutually intellectual contact. For many universities the medical school is too often a Minotaur in the Grove of Academe-a noisy intruder, tearing up the grass, interesting to behold, a little fearful on close contact, and capable of cannibalizing the university. The medical school needs the indulgence of its university colleagues while it becomes adjusted to its new and more restrained surroundings. Society can no longer permit any institution the luxury of a retreat into the comfortable world of its own interests. Perhaps even more significant, however, as Cardinal Newman so perceptively stated it, is the fact that outside the university, medicine and the other professions cannot survive or retain that " largeness of mind" requisite for their own growth :I do but say that there will be this d istinc tion as regards a professor of law, or of medicine, or of geology, or of political economy, in a university and out of it, that out of a university he is in danger of being absorbed and narrowed by his pursuit, and of giving lectures which are the lectures of nothing more than a lawyer, ph ysician, geologist, or political economist; whereas in a university he will just know where h e and h is science sta nd, he has come to it, as it were, from a height, he h a s ta ken a survey of all knowledge, he is kept from extra vagance by the very rivalry of other s tudies, h e has gained from them a special illumination a nd largeness of m ind a nd freedom and self-possession and he treats his own in consequence with a philosophy and a resource which belong not to the study itself b u t to his liberal education.1 • 1.

President Martin Meyerson said the original plans to concentrate the Health Sciences on Main Street were altered by the State University Task Force "for education~! reasons." This change has been approved by the State University Trustees. President Meyerson indicated that the present Main Street campus will be used for general purposes for about 10 years. Ultimately it will become a massive Continuing Education Center, incorporating a twoyear Community College and will serve as the base of the University's research program. This Continuing Education Center would greatly expand the University's credit and non-credit programs now being offered by Millard Fillmore College. This includes special workshops and institutes, courses for professional, business, and labor organizations, alumni programs, programs for the culturally disadvantaged, cultural offerings, and perhaps studies in general education for those who were unable to pursue college careers in their youth. Sponsored research programs of the University have a present volume in excess of $8 million annually. It has been estimated that the total volume will exceed $20 million by 1974, with an accompanying increase in research centers and institutes, and in research activities related to economic developments. The Western New York Nuclear Research Center, Inc. will also continue on the present Main Street site. FAll, 1967 According to President Meyerson, the new academic organization of the University, which will take effect this fall, calls for even greater integration of educational programs than that which presently exists. Therefore physical integration of the teaching programs should be sought as much as possible. The medical faculty had voted almost unanimously to be located on the same site with the other faculties. " Development of the Health Sciences Center and the University Hospital with the other University units will afford greater academic integrity and cross-fertilization of disciplines than would be the case if Health Sciences were separated from related scientific and other departments," President Meyerson said. State University Chancellor Samuel B. Gould revealed that remodeling the Main Street Campus for the Health Sciences Center offered " no substantial fi nancial advantages." Furthermore, if the Health Sciences were located on a separate campus, " it would be n ecessary to create a ' sub-university' sweeping across the spectrum of university departments," Dr. Gould said. " Detailed surveys have indicated that the buildings on the Main Street campus are well suited for diversified general educational purposes. " Construction at Amherst would allow the biological, social, and engineering aspects of the Health Sciences to be constructed jointly with related departments of the University," Dr. Gould concluded. • 17 Health Sciences Will Move To Amherst Campus �the Irving Hyman Me morial A ward in N eurology; Dr. Adele M.

SOUTHER, M.D. rs A CURIOUS CREATURE, precariously perched in the present, the past imperceptibly slipping away, and the future infinitely near. He acts in the present, is influenced by previous experience and in anticipation of what he perceives is ahead. No individual, I believe, is unique in this respect. One of the basic tenets of education is, after all, that experience increases the ability to direct subsequent experience. MAN I now find myself a senior medical student, and I have been asked to reflect briefly on my experience in medical school. I fear that I somewhat lack perspective, for in some respects my previous experience is too near. Granting that further experience may well modify my impressions, I would like to discuss a point which has had great import to me and which I believe concerns all alumni of the medical school. Dr. Souther. All of us are, or will be, Doctors of Medicine. This title is, however, only an academic degree, and the real issue of how we use our acquired skills is left unspecified. This issue is of great importance to society, to the profession of medicine, and to ourselves as individuals. Where then is this issue resolved? At what point does the individual confront the problem of what he is to do with his skills? There is probably no one single instant that one is faced with the decision. Individuals can be divided into three groups: those who never decide, those who reach the decision after several changes of course, and those who are said to have always known the decision, or in other words reached the decision very early in their experience. There is also no doubt, howDr. Souther is interning at the Johns Hopkins H ospital, Baltimore. H e received his medical degree from SUNYAB on May 28, 1967. 20 ever, that certain experiences have more impact on the decision than others. It is my impression that most students arrive at medical school solely in pursuit of the degree. Few come with a firm decision concerning the use of the skills which are to be acquired in medical school. I will grant that virtually all have some impression concerning what might be done, but it is my belief that few of these impressions are based on inform ed judgment. All of us are laymen on entering medical school. I do not know if even the sons of physicians have significantly greater insight and more informed judgment concerning the future use of soon to be acquired skills. We leave medical school, however, with experience in basic science, in clinical medicine, and occasionally in research. We leave with the decision made concerning our internship. We leave w ith impressions of the way of life of the private clinician, the full-time clinician, and the academician based on closer and usually more sophisticated views of his professional life. The decision of where and what our next step in training will be, and the glimpse into the several forms of professional life have great impact, I believe, on the ultimate disposition of our own professional life. The student can hardly avoid exposure to the attitudes of the academicians and the private clinicians, of the specialists and the generalists, of the in stitutions with more and those with less university affiliation. It is this exposure which determines the place and type of internship which, for the majority or most, has great effect on still further training, all of wh ich leads closer and closer to the ultimate assumption of a defined role in the profession of medicine. I distinctly remember as a freshman medical student, during orientation prior to the beginning of classes, THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �the Dean's description of us having come from a broad liberal background to be funneled through a narrow channel prior to going out to the broad profession of medicine. It is through this narrow channel that we have received our presently most sophisticated view of the profession. It is in this narrow channel that we have accumulated many of the experiences that chart our further course in the profession. Therefore it appears that the e.ntire profession is affected by the impressions and decisions of those who file through the narrow passageway of medical school. Although we constantly fall under the experience of those who precede us as we continue our training, it appears that at no other time do we fall under the shadow of the profession so completely as we do in medical school. Thus it would seem that the medical school would be of extreme importance and interest to the profession as the spring from which the profession is fed. The alumni of the medical school, in the diversity of their own interests and the diversity of their own roles within the profession, approximate the profession as a whole. I believe that their medical school should become of personal interest to them and to the society which they also represent. It was John Dewey who in 1916 said, "In direction of the activities of the young, society determines its own future in determining that of the young."1 It is my impression that the experiences in medical school have considerable importance in the ultimate career of any graduate, and therefore are of great importance to the society, to the profession, and to the individual. • 1.

I am glad not to have missed the close relationship with so many physicians who, in a real sense, brought the Children's Hospital to the status that attracted full-time physicians-Drs. Douglas P. Arnold, William J. Orr, A. Wilmot Jacobsen, Norman C. Bender, W. Ward Plummer, John F. Fairbairn, Frank N. Potts, Thew Wright, and many others. This was before the days of sophisticated equipment and the magic drugs; before the d ays when the public attitude toward hospitals was less gloomy and fearsome, before the time when complicated metabolic disorders were being skillfully managed and internal operations of the heart were a part of our medical program. Think of the tremendous strides that have been made in medical and hospital care over these years. It has b een a wonderful 30 years, and, speaking of people, let us not forget what Thelma Kenyon has meant to this Hospital these many years. Time soon saw our Hospital with full-time personnel and the Rubinizing process became a very pleasant one. W e saw Government becoming a very important partner in our hospital and medical affairs. W e soon learned that neither manpower nor funds w ere to be spared and there certainly is no reason for any of us to believe that advances in research and health care have reached, or are reaching, a plateau. We have seen , among many other advances, the team approach to the care of the patient. It is true that the more su ccessful modern medicine b ecomes, the more problems will be created and the more physicians and health workers will be required. The great problem is going to be the recruiting of ad equately trained people in this health field under the leader ship of physicians. Over one-third of the thirty-seven billion dol- THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Iars now spent for health and medical care is being dispensed by Government. We must realize that this Governmental interest and direct participation in health affairs is in its early growth and the increase in care, teaching, and research has only started. In the next ten years this growth can very easily be greater than that which we have seen in the past thirty years. Progress is being made with sane leadership and the partnership with Government and our voluntary agencies is taking on a more realistic relationship. We, in voluntary hospitals, must see to it that Government does not become the dominant partner. To be sure, Government has a fundamental responsibility for assuring that the people's right to health is fulfilled to the greatest possible extent-so have we. Let us not forget that we were here before Government became our partner, and while the assurance of adequate h ealth care can only be achieved through full and productive partnership with all levels of Government, we must remain the senior partner. Government has shown us the way in the concept of the planning for health facilities and regional programming. We might ask, "where would we be without Government help?" All types of health care-physical, mental, environmental- are now getting off t o an excellent start. This envisions a new kind of partnership among public and private agencies and with reasonable flexibility adapting to local needs and resources. There should, however, be no monolithic system at any Government level but a fusion of public and private endeavor for the ultimate good of all of the people we have pledged to serve, and if the right kind of partnership is created, all partners will be strengthened to do a job supremely well. Just a few weeks ago, The Vice President of the United States, from a Buffalo platform warned us all to keep our voluntary agencies FAll, 1967 strong, and guard against the dominating intrusion of Government, ever mindful, however, that the challenges are far too great for any of us to do it alone. What has happened to our out-patient clinics is nothing compared to what will happen within the next few months. Emergency visits to our hospitals have doubled in the past eight years. Just look at the increase in the number of workers in health-six times that of a few years ago. We must not forget that children's hospitals preceded the specialty of Pediatrics. And while they were not founded for any scientific reason but only to get children out of the large wards of our urban hospitals, it gave the physician a workshop for the care and study of diseases of children. All of these hospitals were founded and have been maintained by volunteers. You know the diseases that have been erased and those that have declined, giving us time and funds and energy to tackle many about which little was known a few years ago. All of our children's hospitals, certainly ours among them, have been right up front in this ever-continuing battle. This is where we will remain. But there is so much more to be done. We cannot forget that our country has fallen from fifth place among the nations of the world in this health picture to eleventh place. To be sure, our country has been improving but other countries, including those with far less resources than we have, are improving even faster. Despite the elimination of polio and other diseases, the number of physically handicapped children seems to be increasing, because more attention is being paid to the crippling effects of birth injuries, accidents, malformations of the heart, and on down the list. Many children who were incorrectly categorized and placed in institutions are now being restored to useful 23 �citizenship, including the so-called retarded child. Yes, then~ is so much more to be done, but as we look at the history of Pediatrics, which has been one of achievement, there can be no doubt that great accomplishments lie ahead. Pediatrics has had more than its share of medical educators as well as pioneers in research and in clinical investigation. It has assumed leadership in the promotion of child welfare programs. It has provided many physicians in important positions of official health agencies and universities' schools of medicine. These physicians and many others in the specialties have brought our childrens' hospitals hto a position of central importance and have many-times-over paid back these hospitals for providing the Pediatrician's workshop. To all of our childrens' hospitals one can most confidently look for a balanced and progressive approach to the highly complex and everch anging problems of child health encompassing research, education, care, and community service. These hospitals, including ours, will continue to work with the physician and with official agencies in this continuing struggle for all children. And now our hospitals, along with others-particularly the teaching hospitals-have a new responsibility and must accept leadership in this important program of community planning. Here can be community service at a high level. Perhaps it seems to many of you that it is impossible to take on more responsibility, but you will and you will do it successfully. We must not let Government do this job while we sit on the sidelines and criticize. Do not think that we cannot build too m any b eds- it h as happened in other areas and it can happen here. Beds, however, are the least of good planning. An expanded University calls for expansion of its teaching hospitals. Our hospital must grow in its phys- 24 ical plant, and the time is now if we are to maintain our position as a University hospital. No longer are we simply a charitable institution caring for the unfortunate sick child and training bright young people to serve their fellow men, but all together we are a complex of institutions with a major responsibility to society calling for the improvement and the maintenance of health. Our relationships with the University have grown in every respect. This strength, to a large extent, is also our problem. We have seen new avenues of service through the University. And ours, and other universities, are constantly inaugurating new programs for improved teaching and improved care, for without the latter, the teaching program could deteriorate. Exciting programs in health are soon to be inaugurated under University leadership. Right h ere may I pause, and with all the enthusiasm of which I am capable, urge that our hospital do everything possible to cooperate with the University in all of its health schools, making every effort to increase its position as an outstanding University Hospital. Hospital costs will continue to increase at an unprecedented rate. Much of this increase is warranted since it represents m erely belated justice to nurses, interns, residents, and other traditionally underpaid hospital workers. Do not scoff at the medical observers who predict that hospital costs may reach the unbelievable figure of $100 a day. Perhaps the recovery room can be better located near the cashier's window. It is anything but pleasant to leave as all these exciting changes are about to take place- as we enter the age of the computer. It is not too fantastic to look ahead to the day when our patients will be largely cared for by the coming computers. Just how much T.L.C. they will dispen se is a question in our industry of personal service. THE BUFFALO M EDI CAl REVIEW �We cannot help but look at the role of the hospital administrator, which is in transition, because the institutions and the society we serve are in transition. His responsibilities in the future are going to be so much greater than those of us who have grown old in this business, but if we cannot answer society's demand for coordinated, comprehensive health care, what social agency will? Hospitals cannot possibly abdicate responsibility for this role to other voluntary institutions, and the providers of medical care must assume a leadership in providing total care to all people and not leave it to the third party reimbursement agencies. And if we believe, as I am sure we should, that time is running out on the hospital's opportunity to live up to these responsibilities, and if we conclude that hOspital administration has a leadership role to play in the formation of the hospital's place in this picture, then we begin to understand the expanding role of the present-day administrator. The all too prevalent "corner grocery store" philosophy in our chain store age must be changed. Administration must take on the broader aspects of leadership in this vastly expanding field of health care. All of our American institutions-industrial and social-have been founded by people with vision, stamina, and a will to work hard. Even our country itself was founded by men who had these qualities. But the history of the Children's Hospital tells us that it was women with a great social understanding who; seventyfive years ago, founded our Hospital and women h ave controlled- with vision and with stamina-th at organization since the day of its founding. Tonight I salute you and the many whom you have followed. You have given me this great opportunity to work with you, to spend almost thirty years in this organization of service. I will ever be grateful to you for your FAll, 1967 many kindnesses to me and to my family and for the great joy that I have had in service-as faltering as it has been-to the Children's Hospital. To be sure, there have been regrets, there will be more. One of the greatest regrets that you are going to have is that you had not found your new Administrator long since, and I wish for him, as I turn over these keys, that they will open for him many doors of opportunity, of service, and happiness in this great work which really is only beginning. The transition of administrative responsibility has been painless, because he has made it so. Retirement is not without its emotional problems and we see opening before us in this electronic age the many great opportunities. It may not be pleasant in some ways to grow old but on the other hand, this is a wonderful industry in which to grow old. Speaking of this, how many of you read the enlightening, stimulating article written by our Toastmaster on this problem of growing old. His reaction to the aging process, he states, is an optimistic one and ends this learned discussion by quoting Phelps: to say that youth is happier than maturity is like saying the view from the bottom of the tower is b etter than from the top. As w e a scend, the horizon is pushed away. Finally, as we reach the summit, it is as if we had the world at our feet. There is only one way to cope with this problem of change and that is to seize the initiative and move forward. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow not yet here. Today is when we appraise the impact of change and lay our plans to become an even more powerful force in the health care of the community that we have pledged to serve, ever mindful that there will always be a Children's Hospital which must become ever stronger in this highest of all service-service to our children. And so- • 25 �A "Pioneer" 1n lmn1.unology "ONE MOUSE IS NO MOUSE"-a frequently quoted expression of Dr. Ernest Witebsky-is his way of reminding his students of the dangers involved in making sweeping generalizations from limited data. Tutor and friend to his students, he will retire as chairman of the department of bacteriology and immunology at the end of the academic year. Retirement for Dr. Witebsky, who has received international acclaim as the leading research worker in immunology for over 40 years, means a new assignment-to serve as the initial head of the newly-created Immunology Unit of the School of Medicine at Buffalo. In the near future, it will hopefully be developed into an Institute of Immunology. Important contributions have been made by Dr. Witebsky to our basic knowledge in the fields of blood groups and transfusion problems. He was the first to prove that the organs and tissues of the body other than erythrocytes also contain the blood group antigens A and B. His investigations on the occurrence of human A-like substance in hogs led other investigators to the isolation of the pure group A polysaccharide from peptones of hog origins. With University of Buffalo co-workers, Dr. Witebsky was the first to isolate successfully the pure group B polysaccharide which culminated in the introduction of the use of solutions of the isolated pure A and B specific substances for the conditioning of universal donor blood for emergency transfusions into patients of unknown blood groups. His pioneer investigations led to the development of a procedure for preparing potent anti-A and anti-B blood grouping reagents, discovery of the immune variety of anti-A and anti-B antibodies, to the devel- 26 Dr. Ern est Wib etsky. opment of a practical test for determining antibody sensitization of erythrocytes in acquired hemolytic anemia of the newborn and of the adult, and many other basically important findings. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Dr. Witebsky's most recent work has been on autosensitization (sensitization against one's own tissue), particularly in connection with the thyroid gland. Born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1901, he was educated at the Universities of Frankfurt and Heidelberg in the traditional school of immunology. His teacher, Hans Sachs, was the pupil of Paul Ehrlich, the Father of Immunology. After receiving his medical degree from the University of Heidelberg, Dr. Witebsky joined the research division of their Cancer Institute, and in 1929 he became assistant professor of immunology. When the Nazis rose to power, Dr. Witebsky transplanted the German line of immunology (his main interest in immunology of tissues) to the United States. He became a Fellow at the Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. Two years later, in 1936, he joined the faculty of the University of Buffalo School of Medicine as an associate professor of bacteriology in the department of pathology. In 1941 the department of bacteriology and immunology was Jermed; Dr. Witebsky was appointed professor and head of the full-time staff consisting of one technician and one laboratory assistant, one preparation room and one animal room. The annual budget, exclusive of salaries, was about $500 for teaching approximately 70 medical and SO dental students. Today, the full-time staff numbers over 100, and the department, from an original space occupancy of 1,085 square feet, now encompasses 20,316. Research grants total over $800,000. But of greater significance than numbers and percentages is the creation by Dr. Witebsky of one of the most prominent world centers of immunological research. " Pioneering," years of FALL, 1967 training, guidance, and leadership under Dr. Witebsky has led to this accomplishment. Starting his "family" with a medical student, he succeeded in attracting numerous young researchers to the nucleus. New areas of immunological endeavor were established with the addition of two microbiologists, a staff member more oriented and trained in chemistry, a virologist, and an immunologist of recognized stature. Expansion both in research and training, became possible with space provided by the erection of Capen and Sherman Halls. Six units, each with its own repertory of methodologies, were formed: Immunohematology, cellular immunology, immunochemistry, immunohistology, virology, and tissue immunology. Dr. Witebsky, starting with a language handicap, molded and shaped a harmonious and yet diverse group which has maintained a unity of purpose and outlook. He has never "competed" with his group, but has remained friend and teacher. Many of the original "family" still remain. Under Dr. Witebsky's leadership, the department has established local, national, and international ties. Joint projects as well as individual unit ones are conducted in the department, most of them under his supervision and with his consultation. There is also extensive collaborative work within the University Health Sciences Center, the five community affiliated hospitals, and with many national and international institutions. The department of bacteriology and immunology is the only institution in the world which encompasses the five most important fields of immunology: bacterial and viral immunology, immunogenetics including 27 �A surprise dinner dance was held in his honor by the sophomore class, which epitomized the friendly relations existing between the teacher and his students. As their class was the last to which Dr. W itebsky would serve as chairman of the department, it was felt that a simultaneous expression of their feelings was in order. A placque inscribed "for his contributions to the field of medicine and for the inspiration he has given us, the medical class of 1969, in his year of retirement, January 21, 1967" was presented to him. Many former students, trained under Dr. Witebsky, now occupy prominent positions in the United States, Latin America, and Europe. His inspired teaching and leadership has induced many to continue along investigative lines initiated in the " Buffalo School." Close ties with their revered medical school professor are maintained through personal visits and correspondence. Dr. Kyoichi Kana and Dr. Wit ebsky. blood groups and transplantation, immunopathology including allergy and autoimmune disease, and immunology of tissues and cells. Dr. Witebsky has always considered teaching "not only an opportunity but a privilege second to none." The department offers bacteriology and immunology courses to medical, dental, nursing, medical technology students, as well as a large number of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty members from other departments of the school. 28 As a tribute to Dr. Witebsky and to the department for its major research contributions in the fields of blood groups and immunohematology, the initial organizational Congress of the International Society of Hematology (of which he is a co-founder) conven ed in Buffalo in 1948. Dr. Witebsky has co-chaired four international Symposia on Immunopathology as well as the International Conference on Autoimmunity organized in 1964. Author of about 300 publications in German, French, English, and American m edical journals dealing with problems in immunology and bacteriology (blood groups, Rh factor, organ specificity, cancer), he is consulting editor of Transfusion, scientific consultant of Blut, and an advisory editorial board member of Blood, and Clinical and Experimental Immunology. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �Memberships he holds in national and international societies would fill pages. Diplomate of the Pan American Medical Association, he is also a Fellow of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists, the College of American Pathologists, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Public Health Association, and the American Academy of Micro biology. The University of Freiburg, in 1958, awarded him an honorary doctor's degree. The following year the Karl Landsteiner Memorial Award of the American Association of Blood Banks was presented to him. The University of Buffalo, in 1950, bestowed on Dr. Witebsky the Chancellor's gold medal as an outstanding citizen of the community, and four years later, in recognition of his accomplishments, conferred upon him the rank of Distinguished Professor. He has also served as dean of the Medical School. Since his arrival in Buffalo, he has been bacteriologist and serologist at the Buffalo General Hospital, and director of their blood bank since 1941. He is also a consultant in bacteriology at the Veterans Adminis-' tration Hospital. The Stockton Kimball faculty award, in recognition of outstanding contributions by a m ember of the medical faculty to the traditional triad of teaching, research, and service, was added to his list of accolades in 1963. Also, honorary memberships in the British Society for Immunology, the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina, and a NATO visiting professorship at the University of Munich. Dr. Witebsky will continue his efforts in the Immunology Unit being created to foster further collaboration in immunology research locally, nationally, and internationally. Existing teaching programs will be supported, and graduate and postgraduate teach- FALL, 1967 ing will be considerably extended. The proposed Institute will also participate in improving the service functions for hospitals and practitioners in medicine and dentistry by active participation in the introduction of new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. If Dr. Witebsky were to have his way, the pronoun "I" would be eliminated from his vocabulary as would the spotlight which has been pinpointed on him most of his life. But, as one of his colleagues stated: 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 to this extraordinary category ... . • Dr. Reiji Kasukawa, Mr. Jerry Bash, Dr. John Klass en, Dr. Witebsky . �A futur e do c tor, Tim ot hy F.

Reimann, M'21, professor of medicine and head, section of preventive medicine and epidemiology, Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital of Philadelphia, has been named field director of the AMA's Vietnam Proj ect. In 1951, Dr. Reimann received the University Alumni Citation for his work in medical education. "The immediate purpose of this project is to develop a strong system of medical education in South Vietnam. The ultimate goal is to increase the supply of physicians and assure that they are b e tter trained to meet the need s of the Vietnamese people," Dr. Wesley W. Hall, chairman of AMA's board of trustees, said. Dr. Reimann arrived in Vietnam in January. He will coordinate and supervise activities of U.S. medical educators working with the department heads in the University of Saigon medical faculty. Dr. Reimann served as consultant and faculty m em b er of foreign m edical schools. From 1927-30 h e w as associate professor of medicine at the Peking-Union Medical College, China. He was visiting professor of medicine at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, Medical School from 1952 to 1954. He also worked at the University of Indonesia, Java, in 1955 and at the University of Shiraz, P ersia, from 1958 to 1960. H e joined the H ahnemann faculty in 1960 and has been granted a six months' leave of absence to guide the AMA project in Saigon. Dr. Reimann will also evaluate the m edical education proj ect as it progresses and serve as liaison be- 32 tween the dean of the University of Saigon medical faculty and the U.S. Department of State's Agency for International Development. "This is a vitally important project," Dr. Hall said, "for this war-torn nation where medical services are available to only a fraction of the 15 million Vietnamese. "There are only about 1,000 medical doctors in Vietnam, and 700 of these are in the armed forces. The problem is compounded by the fact that two-thirds of the remaining 300 physician s practice in Saigon although 80 per cent of the Vietnam population lives in the rural areas." • Medical seniors d edicated their yearbook, Th e Medentian , to a man who believes that the primary function of a teacher is to teach.

I arrived in early June, 1966, to spend what proved to be an extremely exciting and beneficial summer in medicine. A Sun1mer in Medicine at Oxford by MARTIN LIBERMAN Senior Medical Student The following article was written by Mr. Martin Liberman about his summer in England at the University of Oxford Medical Teaching Hospital, the Radcliffe Infirmary. Mr. Liberman will receive his M.D. degree this month. He will intern at Sinai Hospital of Baltim ore. SUMMER, 1967 My experiences probably should be traced from my arrival at Osler House, the combined administration building and home of the clinical Medical School. I arrived loaded with heavy textbooks and two massively-filled suitcases. I met my English medical peers wh o relieved me of these burdens. Starting the agenda was my first but by no means last pint of bitter. This w as my introduction to Osler House, a fine stone threestory structure. This multi-purpose building hou ses the administration oHices, the bar and sandwich room, student medical library, music room, and sleeping quarters for students on call. Osler House also has a full-time housekeeper who serves tea and pastry every afternoon. I was impressed with the intimacy between faculty and students. Osler House is a congenial, inform al place for faculty and students to become better acquainted. Following my cordial reception, I was guided 150 yards behind Osler House to the RadcliH Infirmary. An expansive four-story edifice, the main part was built in the early 1700's, It reminded me of the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital. The wards were similarly arranged and were eHiciently administered by very capable head nurses, whom we always addressed as "sister." Each ward (approximately) was staHed with one first-year houseman (intern) and a registrar, equivalent to a senior resident. 3 �The following day I completed my program arrangements. Through letters, I had arranged a program, including both research and clinical work. This was to be done in a medical specialty unit, namely gastroenterology. I also wanted to work on the general medical wards. I had been advised to do some reading in gastroenterology. A three-point program was now arranged: • to work with Dr. Ralph Wright in gastroenterological research; • to attend clinics with Dr. S. C. Truelove, head of gastroenterology; • to work on the two teaching medical wards of Professor Paul Beeson. Dr. Beeson is chief of the Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine (named after the late Lord W. Nuffield, founder of the BMC Corporation and benefactor of the Medical School). This program seemed to be ideal for a summer. It offered the opportunity for studying a specialty branch from both theoretical and clinical aspects. It also offered the opportunity to continue my general medical education. While any one aspect of the program might well be full time, the pace was not as rapid as I had previously experienced. I was able to follow this program without undue strain, although one cannot say there was lack of stimulation to work hard. The ward pace was maintained by lively discussion and gentlemanly competition with the English students. Their clinical studies continue through the summer with a four-week break between mid-July and mid-August. In the Nuffield Department there were only four other students. The entire number of medi4 cal students per class is about 30, with two classes per year commencing at six-month intervals. These four students were assigned to special medical units, and I enjoyed the company of one English student in the gastroenterology specialty clinic. Several other Americans spent time on the wards during the course of the summer. They were from the University of Seattle and the University of Chicago Medical Schools. We all enjoyed a very amiable and enthusiastically competitive relationship. The clinical medical program involved clerking patients once every sixth day (termed " take days"), and following private patients admitted during the remainder of the week. On "take days," the students (two per ward) were always first to see the patients in the admitting room. Here, on the b asis of the student' s history of the patient and sub sequent brief examination by the houseman, it was decided whether to admit the patient. Students did the ECG' s when necessary and arranged to have chest x-rays taken before admission to the wards. These procedures could be completed in about 15 or 20 m inutes. Then the patient was sent to the ward where the student completed his workup. These writeups were valued for their completeness. They were utilized more frequently than here as references by the house officers. CBC's and urinalyses were done by the students as well as the laboratory. The student laboratories, however, were not well maintained, and decent blood stains were rarely available. Therapy and special procedures could usually be handled by students, although generally the housemen carried out these procedures. Students usually waited for designated periods called " locums" when a student substituted for a vacationing house officer. During this time, the student was in THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REV IEW �charge of the ward. He presented all cases, except those of other students, to Professor Beeson. He went on several daily rounds, wrote all orders, and handled all procedures. Special consultations were not usually educational for the student at Oxford. The consultant might arrive unannounced at any time rarely giving the student an opportunity to present the case. The consultant, however, would see the patient and leave his report in the chart. The hematology and gastroenterology units did make official rounds and at this time the house officer or student could present cases and benefit from the discussion. On Tuesday mornings several of the week's most interesting cases were presented to the combined medical faculty . A few cases from the entire hospital were then selected for the weekly Grand Rounds. Formal clinical teaching was also conducted. On " take days" the students would accompany the houseman, registrar, and a consultant on rounds. Emphasis would be on diagnosis, therapy, ECG, and x-ray reading. These rounds afforded a very personalized teaching experience. The houseman rarely contributed to the teaching experience during the course of the week, although they were always available to answer questions. Three times a week small classroom sessions (four to five students) were led by the one consultant working with the housemen on the teaching wards, or by the heads of the various specialty departments. Subjects such as digestive disease, ECG reading, renal disease or therapeutics were covered. The remainder of the student's clinical education is through reading. Most Oxford students have time to easily read Cecil and Loeb, authors of the most popular SUMMER', 1967 text. They attend Medical School for six years, two years preclinicat one year of concentration in a preclinical science, and three years of clinical training. Unless they are exceptional they do not take full advantage of their time during the last three years. Far more emphasis was placed on reading smaller texts rather than reference books suggested to American students. There were many books from which to choose. Blackwell Publications is located in Oxford. Many of these books were superb, well written, and easily read. It is a pity that such books as C linical Haematolo gy by de Gruchy; and Diseases of the Digestive System by Truelove and Reynell are not more available in Buffalo. The remainder of my clinical work was spent with the gastroenterology group. This group covered patients on Professor Beeson's wards. Once a week rounds for the housestaff and students were conducted by Dr. S. C. Truelove. Dr. Truelove's personal friend and co-worker, radiologist Dr. Kenneth Lumsden, read x-rays. At these rounds, a surgeon was also present for consultation. The patient's conditions were reviewed in painstaking detail. These rounds, extremely educationat lasted anywhere from one to three hours. Further work with Dr. Truelove took place in the specialty clinics where approximately 40 patients were seen once each week. Saturday mornings were reserved for a "new" patient clinic conducted by Dr. Truelove and Dr. Wright where referrals from private physicians were seen . Most patients tended to h ave gastrointestinal disease but at times other gastroenterologic conditions were observed. The students (myself and one English student) examined all new patients and presented them to Dr. Truelove or Dr. Wright. The patients were then dis5 �cussed with them. This proved to be a most unique teaching experience. There would always be a midmorning break and Dr. Truelove would talk with the students. A warm, friendly relationship existed between the students and Dr. Truelove. On Friday afternoon patients were seen for reevaluation or sigmoidoscopic testing, usually for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Sigmoidoscopies and barium swallows were done quite routinely at Oxford. In this clinic regional enteritis was not a rare entity. I saw at least 30 cases diagnosed by sigmoidoscopy and biopsy during the summer. I also had the opportunity to do many sigmoidoscopies and biopsies during these clinics. The rest of my time was spent in the laboratory. I began by reading many reprints on auto-immune aspects of gastroenterology. I decided, from these and from observing the work in the laboratory, to do a small project of short duration but not involving constant supervision. In earlier work, Dr. Wright had detected gastric antibodies in high titre in pernicious anemia, hyperthyroidism, and gastritis. The possibility of using these antibody titres for a screening test was difficult since immunofluorescence is the present method of detection. If, using the relatively simple hemagglutination technique, these antibodies could be detected, the problem might have been solved. I learned to preserve red cells with pyruvic aldehyde and per- 6 form the hemagglutination technique. From gastric material of surgical specimens the mucosa was scraped with a blunt-edged blade. It was then mixed in a sucrose solution to make an antigenetic solution, and the solution mixed with tanned type " 0 " red cells. These cells were then added to previously known positive sera detected by immunofluorescence. It was hoped that these sera containing positive titres of antibodies would hemagglutinate the antigen coated red cells. Unfortunately the technique proved too sensitive and a great deal of false positive results occurred. This was probably due to such subtle factors as dust in the room or the type of glass tubing used. The technique was never adequately perfected. Reading the literature, learning the hemagglutination technique proficiently, and making contact with many prominent workers, however, made an indelible impression . It generated an enthusiasm and interest in this work that will remain. Finally, I might add that I was also encouraged to attend regional medical meetings and conferences in other London hospitals and elsewhere. The flexibility in my program always enabled me to get the most out of my medical experiences at Oxford as well as to travel and to meet people. This past summer was unquestionably the highlight of my medical experience to date, and I am indebted to those who made it possible. • THE BUFFAlO MEDICAl REV IEW �A The Medical School and the Community by GEORGE T. HARRELL, M.D. Summary of a talk given before the faculty at Niagara Falls November 7, 1966. D r. Harrell is dean of the Pennsylvania State Un iversity College of Medicine and director of the Milton S. Hershey M edical Center, Hershey, Pa. H e received his A.B. and M.D. degrees from Duke Univ ersity . SUMMER, 1967 MEDICAL SCHOOL has an economic and cultural impact on the community as well as a professional one. In the past, illness was cared for in the home b y the family. The first physicians were priests who observed natural phenomena. Education was by the apprenticeship method. Now medicine is a university discipline. The thread for training of health scientists is the study of human biology. Because of the inherent variability of all living things, groups must be studied in order to smooth out individual variations. This statistical approach meets scientific criteria for research. The application of data collected on an individual, however, does not m eet scientific criteria. Thus, the practice of medicine on individual patients is an art which rests on a scientific b ase. It is essentially a highly confidential interpersonal relationship. Accordingly, the educational program must study how people live in the community, how they react to stresses of living, as well as of illness. Traditionally, these studies and peoples' sense of values have been the area of the humanities and liberal arts. Increasingly, behavior must be studied as a basic biologic phenomenon which is inherently variable as are all other physiologic parameters. Behavior should be studied at the group and individual level. Ideally, all workers in the life sciences should be trained together so that they will work together better in the community. The impact of disease must be recognized in its biologic aspects, su ch as the transmission of infections, as well as in its genetic, economic, and cultural factors. The educational program should take as its frame of reference the unit of society, the family living in a community. Long range trends which must be considered include the population explosion, particularly in the very 7 �young and elderly age groups, the mobility and changing role of families. Illnesses have changed in character from acute infections-largely food and water borneto chronic illnesses, heart disease, stroke, and cancer. In the past, the physician treated a series of dramatic self-limited illnesses with the chief causes of death being pneumonia, tuberculosis, and gastrointestinal infections. The student saw himself as a healer. Now the chronic illnesses have a life-long natural history. The basic biologic information is not available to cure them. The next largest cause of death-accidents-is largely a reflection of behavioral disturbances. A high percentage of patients present to the physician symptoms for which a suHiciently advanced stage of organic disease is not uncovered. The functional overlay to organic disease, as well as psychosomatic and emotional problems, are the responsibility of all physicians. Aging should be studied as a normal biologic phenomenon as opposed to the accumulation of the eHects of a series of chronic illnesses. As the result of the explosive growth of the research, the factual information on which the science of medicine rests doubles every ten years. Mechanical data storage and retrieval systems must be developed which could be placed in community hospitals. How can they be incorporated in the educational program without having the student take a mechanistic rather than a warm, compassionate, humanistic approach to patient care? Patterns of the delivery of medical care have changed with the introduction of chemotherapy of infections and drugs for the alteration of mood. Hospitalization is shorter as the natural history of disease is interrupted. More ambulant patients are cared for by physicians in an oHice setting. Laboratory tests are doubling in number every seven years and increasing in complexity. 8 The educational program at The Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine is planned for the training of physicians for practice. Th e frame of reference is the family living in the community. The student has committed himself to a never-ending process of self-education in the biological sciences and the humanities. The pre-professional training should emphasize breadth in the liberal arts with depth in a field of concentration of the student' s own ch oice. Teaching no longer can be factual in nature. The student can be taught patterns of thinking and an approach to problem solving. To assist in individual learning, study cubicles will be provided. The placement in the building will balance th e library and laboratory approaches. Training in all years will be fro m the multidisciplin ary approach. Special basic science laboratories have been designed. A wing of the hospital devoted to the laboratories and procedure rooms related to patient care will be used as a multidiscipline clinical laboratory. Research will be u sed as a teaching tool in the educational program. An animal farm is being built to teach the application of basic biologic principles of behavior and genetics to human problems. Growth, development, and variability also will be taught on human patients, beginning in the community schools. The teaching hospital will have facilities for acute illnesses in nursing units composed of seventeen single rooms. An ambulant facility for minimal care will permit members of the family to stay with the patient. After the hospital is completed, a nursing home is projected to study aging and chronic illnesses. Planning includes the future possibility that Hershey will be the center of a Regional Medical Program. The teaching hospital also will serve as a community hospital for patient care. THE BUFFALO MED ICAL REV IEW �In f ormal, round table discussions at N iagara Falls Among the educational innovations are a department of humanities with chairs in the history of science, philosophy and ethics, and comparative religion. Material will be incorporated into the regular courses throughout the four years. A department of behavioral science has been organized as one of the basic medical sciences. Biologic variability from the behavioral point of view will be emphasized. as a university responsibility. Emphasis will be placed on the teaching hospital setting where the physician's maximum learning experience occurred originally and for longer periods of time than usual to be effective. Students will be offered a foreign experience in a mission hospital to learn infectious diseases, principles of preventive medicine, and the impact of medical problems which are largely controlled in this country. A department of family and community medicine has been organized around the practices of three physicians now in the community who will serve as role models. The medical school has accepted responsibility for complete care of a segment of the community through this department. Teaching from the frame of reference of the family will begin in the first year. The physicians are spending three-month periods in postdoctoral training each year to prepare for full-time faculty positions. Continuing education is recognized This advance planning should prevent a town and gown schism. It will permit research in the delivery of patient care in the community. The public will be involved in the College of Medicine not just for fund raising but for patient education, volunteer service, and appreciation of the necessity for animal care. The library is available to the medical profession in the area now and is serving as a resource to colleges in the area. The school will be national in scope and international in flavor. • SUMMER, 1967 9 �THE ScHOOL OF MEDICINE is giving leadership to the "Campus Drug" Committee Named 11-man University-wide committee on "Drugs and the Campus" that has been announced by President Martin Meyerson. The President stressed that "there is no reason to believe that use of illegal drugs on our campus is widespread. My administration and I do not condone their use in any way." The "Drugs and the Campus" committee was named by Dean Douglas M. Surgenor of the School of Medicine. He said the committee can give the community a sense of security by providing professional advice concerning the abuse of drugs, treatment for those who have misused drugs and by advising the University community on their harmful effects. The committee will not be an investigative body. Dr. Cedric M. Smith, chairman of the department of pharmacology, will head the committee. In announcing the creation of the committee, President Meyerson repeated the University's position on drugs: " Our students are citizens; they must obey the laws just as other citizens must. If students break the law- and the possession, use or distribution of illegal drugs is obviously doing that-they must face the consequences of their action, just as others would in similar circumstances." Further, Mr. Meyerson pointed out: " Advocacy of change in the law is always to be distinguished from the question of whether the present law is being observed. Any breaking of the law will obviously be dealt with by law enforcement agencies, but the protection of the right to advocate changes in that law is a time-honored part of democratic life and of the traditions of university freedom. Furthermore, we must 10 not forget that this right is protected by the Constitution and that universities, as well as everybody else, . are bound by the Constitution." In summary of the University's position, President Meyerson said : "Students may talk about changing the law, but at the same time they must obey the law. If they do not obey the law, they will receive no sanctuary at the University, and you can be sure of that! Furthermore, the University has had a policy that any student found trafficking in illegal drugs with other students will, because of the hazard to other members of the University community, have his case taken up with the appropriate authorities." Serving on the committee with D r. Smith will be: Dr. Harry J. Alvis, associate dean of continuing medical education and associate professor of preventive medicine; Dr. Joseph M. Benforado, associate professor of pharmacology and associate dean of academic planning and curriculum; Dr. Harold Brody, professor of anatomy and acting assistant dean of student affairs; Dr. Richard Bugelski, professor and chairman of the psychology department; Dr. Maimon M. Cohen, director of cytogenetics; Dr. Peter K. Gessner, assistant professor of pharmacology; Dr. Paul F. Hoffman, director of student health service; Dr. Edward Marra, professor and chairman of the department of preventive medicine; Dr. Richard Siggelkow, dean of students and professor of education; Dr. S. Mouchley Small, professor and chairman of the department of psychiatry; Dr. Saxon Graham, clinical professor of medical sociology; Dr. Benton King, professor and chairman of the department of anesthesiology; Dr. Herman Schwartz, professor of law; Mr. Israel Kogan, sophomore medical student; and Mr. Robert Fine, sophomore law student. • THE BUFFALO MEDI CAL REVIEW �Sophomore Class, Friends Honor Dr. Ernest Witebsky Dr. Ernest Witebsky was honored by the sophomore class and some 220 special guests at a "surprise" dinner dance. "I consider teaching not only an opportunity but a privilege second to none. This spontaneous recognition of my endeavors means so much to me. This is one of my happiest experiences," Dr. Witebsky said. The sophomore class presented him a plague inscribed: "for his contributions to the field of medicine and the inspiration he has given us, the m edical class of 1969, in his year of retirement, January 21, 1967." Dr. Witebsky is distinguished professor and chairman of the department of bacteriology and immunology. He will officially retire as department chairman at the end of the academic year. He joined the faculty in 1936 and has been department head since 1941. He was acting dean of the School of Medicine in 1958; dean in 1959-60. • SUMMER, 1967 Three sophomore students-Hanley M.

David Harker Dr. David Harker examines placement of minute ribonuclease crystal in x-ray diffraction unit at Roswell Park Memorial Institute where he is director of the Center for Crystallographic Research. Dr. Harker is also research professor of biophysics in the University's Graduate School. Dr. Harker pointed out that the complex arrangement of an enzyme which plays a role in cell growth has been finally determined. The enzyme, ribonuclease, is an important protein found in living cells. It is the first time that the atomic arrangement (the unique positions of atoms within a molecule) of a biologically important protein of this complexity has been definitely determined in this country. Ribonuclease has more than 1 ,000 atoms to the molecule. Finding the ribonuclease structure took 16 years of intense work and cost about $2 million. During the past two years calculations for the ribonuclease structure project utilized IBM computers at both Roswell Park and the University. • Two medical students, Luis Anotta and Luis Maas, and D r.

Clarke Wescoe, chancellor of the University of Kansas told the 420 physicians, faculty, and students at the ninth annual Stockton Kimball M emorial Lecture. His address climaxed the 30th annual Spring Clinical Days at the University. " Research and service are not the main functions of a medical school. They are just fortunate by-products of the teaching function," Dr. Wescoe said. He is chairman of the American Medical Association's Council on M edical Education. " Medical schools were created to fill the social need for physicians to care for people. None was created primarily as a research institute and none as a service center. " Today the rapidly increasing demand fo r better h ealth and medical care necessitates a re-emphasis on the teaching function of the medical school." Also at the luncheon there were short talks b y President Martin Meyerson, Dr. Peter F. Regan, executive vice president; Dr. John J. O ' Brien, president of During the two-day meeting in Norton Hall, panelists discussed obesity, vascular disease of the lower extremity, cerebral vascular disease, immunization and acute liver failure. Papers were also presented on obstructed airway, pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrest, acute glaucoma, acute urinary retention, acute anaphylactic shock, acute renal failure and acute emotional disturbance. The 1917 class and the 1942 class had their 50th and 25th reunions during the two-day affair. • Spring Clinical Days �Mrs. Stockton Kimball visits with Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, M'09, during the luncheon.

Ten members of the 1917 class had their reunion at the Statler Hilton, while 51 (husbands and wives) of the 1942 class met at the Park Lane. The 50-year-class members were also guests of the University at a special banquet Friday evening in the Faculty Club. This was the lOth reunion for the 1917 class. Dr. Myron Thompson was the rallying force for the 1917 class. Pictured around the table (below) with Dr. Thompson (left to right) are: Drs.

Th e C lass of 1942 with w ives an d g uests T h e lights dim for the illustrated lecture �IJ .l "A1 \ Dr. Jones and f riend WHEN ONE's SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS are in three fields, every now and then two or more international congresses may be scheduled during a given summer, but the timing may make it impossible to attend each. Last summer it was my good fortune to attend the 11th Congress of the International Society of Hematology in Sydney, Australia, from August 21 to August 26, and the Sixth International Congress for Electron Microscopy in Kyoto, Japan, from August 28 to September 4, 1966. The purpose for attending the Hematology Congress was threefold : • to present a paper on "Do Erythroblasts have a Secretory Function in the Fetal Liver?" • to serve as chairman of the section on "Lymphoid Cells and Immunity;" • to officiate as historian for the International Society of Hematology. SUMMER, 1967 The weather in Sydney was bad enough to cause chilblains but the hospitality of our hosts and the quality of the program more than warmed our hearts. The Congress was officially opened by His Excellency the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Roden Cutler, in the Great Hall of The University of Sydney. There were 725 participants registered from 48 countries. Four participants from the United States were also members of the general alumni association of the University of Buffalo, namely D r. Stuart L. Vaughan, M'24; Dr. Edward Shambron, M'Sl ; Dr. Alvin Volkman, M 'Sl, and myself, M' 56. It should be poin ted out that the last three mentioned are former students of Dr. Vaughan. Entertainment provided for Congress members and guests included a soiree in the Cell Block of the D arlin ghurst G aol; a cruise on beautiful Syd ney Harbor; a garden party at Government House, and a banquet in conjunction with that given by the Blood Transfusion Congress. After the meeting in Australia I went to Sin gapore for an overnight stopover and then proceeded to O saka, Japan, via Hong Kong and Taipei. I w as met at the airport by Dr. T. Yamadori, a fo rm er post-doctoral fellow in anatomy, and Dr. Yukio Sono, a fo rmer resident in pathology at the Millard Fillmore Hospital. The Electron Microscope Congress was held in the recently completed Kyoto International Conference Hall just outside the city limits of Kyoto. The arch itecture was based upon an ancient Japanese design and the surrounding grounds consist of garden s, pools, and metallic representation of modern sculpture. Over thirteen hundred participants from 36 countries attended D r. Jon es is cele brating his 30th ann iversary in the UB anatomy department. He has been depa rtmen t head since 1943. H e received his Ph. D. in 1935 from the University of M innesota ; h is M.D. from UB in 1956. 19 Around the World by Dr. 0. P. ]ones �Since I had previously visited Kyoto, the highlights of the trip this time were the invitation s to the private homes of Dr. Yarnadori in Kobe and Dr. Sono in Osaka. Another fascinating experience was the evening meal at the Kaihoji Zen Buddhist Temple. A side from attending the meetings and sightseeing, there were visits to the Prefectural Medical School, the University of Kyoto Medical School, and the Shirnadzu Electron Microscope factory. this congress; over 700 were from Japan. The main auditorium could seat 2000 persons. I gave my talk at 8:30A.M. on Sunday, September 4, to 125 people. After presenting my paper on "Formation of Intrarnitochondrial Larnellated Bodies and Their Extrusion from Early Erythroblasts," I then chaired the session on Blood Cells. All12 speakers presented their papers and there was lively discussion. By the way, the two volumes of printed abstracts for these meetings weigh 11 pounds! 20 On the way horne, via around-the-world to Cheektowaga, I stopped in Hong Kong fo r three days as a house guest of Dr. Kwan, a dentist, and his wife, Dr. Lee, a physician and anatomist. Most of my time was spent in Kowloon, but I did visit Hong Kong University where I gave a seminar in the department of ana tomy based on the material presented at the two Congresses. I was particularly interested in this department because our own Dr. Joseph C. Lee w as senior demonstrator there from 1955-57. A party of twelve from the medical school entertained me on the T ai Pak Floating Restaurant in Aberdeen. Other memorable occasions were the sight of Hong Kong at night from Kowloon Peak, the Red Chinese border, a refreshing swim near Clear Water Bay, and Tsingtao beer m ade behind the bamboo curtain. About three days were spent in N ew Delhi where I presented a lecture in the department of zoology at the university and visited the Patel Institute. Dr. Sikand, who worked with Dr. Rahn and Dr. Farhi, was there. It was gratifying to learn that Dr. M . R . N . Prasad, head of the physiology of reproduction wing at the University of Delhi, was familiar with the work Dr. Frank Kallen in our department had done on bats. THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �It is of course rather pointless to go to India without seeing the Taj Mahal, so arrangements were made for me to travel to Agra via limousine on Sunday, September 11. The Taj Mahal was really beautiful and well worth seeing, but I truly did not appreciate it as much as I should have because of a serious car accident on the trip. To make a long story short, the drive shaft broke from the gear box and caused the car to catapult and nearly turn over in a ditch. I had visions of joining the millions who are d ying there without an accident. One of the Indian guides gave me better service when I mentioned that Dr. Jack Lippes was a former student of mine in anatomy. Planned parenthood signs on billboards were very conspicuous and most of them had a small picture of Lippes loop in the lower righthand corner. The next hop was to Egypt where I spent four days. My interest in Egypt stems from the lectures on the history of Anatomy I have been giving to freshman medical students since 1937. Of particular interest were the embalming methods, the early anatomists, and the ruins of the library which was built by Alexander the Great. O f course I was also interested in the topographical anatomy of Egyptian belly dancers. It has been my good fortune to have Dr. Mahmoud Mourad in our department. He had a friend in Cairo who was m y guide. It didn't take me long to look like the Sheik of Araby perched on a camel, but the 100-plus temperature was not to my liking. As a matter of fact, I feel lucky that I survived the tour into the Great Pyramid of Cheops. My visit to Alexandria was by car along the Nile and returning across the desert. While in Alexandria I had a refreshing swim in the Mediterranean at a bathing beach which used to belong to King Farouk. The trip to the upper Nile was by plane to Aswan and then SUMME,R, 1967 to Luxor for an overnight stay. It would take two weeks to see all of the interesting things in this region, but I managed to cram as much as possible into the two days. I suppose if I h ad to single out one memorable occasion, it was when I was looking at the face of the mummy of Merneptah, the Pharaoh during the time of the Exodus. The last stop was in Munich via Rome and Milan. There were several reasons fo r visiting Munich. First, my son-in-law and his family are stationed at the missile base at Bad Aibling, and secondly to visit the electron microscope laboratory in the Pathological Institute, under the direction of Fritz Miller. I had previously corresponded with him six or seven years ago about the headship in the department of pathology here. Dr. Miller h ad been doing some excellent work on the ultrastructure of eosinophils. At the oHicers' club in Bad Aibling I heard nothing but words of praise about Captain J. Richard Fanelli who received his M . D . from the University in 1963. Unfortunately he was away at the time of my visit. Th e best part of the entire trip w as to see my youngest granddaughter, and of course my youngest daughter, and my newest son-in-law, Lt. Henry A . Davidson. The flight from London to Kennedy Airport took 63/4 hours, but the plane to BuHalo waited on the ramp at LaGuardia for three hours because of inclement weather. After arriving in BuHalo I called my wife and told h er to bail me out of the Cloud Room because I was back home and broke, but rich in memories of gastronomic delicacies such as : kangaroo tail soup, Australian sausage stuffed with oysters, Tasmanian scallops barbecued with bananas, baby eels, octopu s, the intestines of the sea cucumber, hundred-year-old eggs, and swallow's n est soup. • 21 D r. lan es in Egypt �Physician, Teacher, Researcher Dr. Mitchell Rubin after joining the School of Medicine as one of its first full-time heads of a clinical department, Dr. Mitchell I. Rubin shows no inclination for diminishing his professional work load. Although he will retire on July 1 as chairman of the department of pediatrics at the School of Medicine, as pediatricianin-chief at the Children's, and as head of pediatrics at the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, he plans to remain as active as ever. As a full-time professor of pediatrics, he will continue his teaching, research, and patient care in the function and the diseases of the kidney. LoAY, TWENTY-ONE YEARS 22 By design, Dr. Rubin has developed different specialty areas in pediatrics. From a staff comprised of one full-time physician and a voluntary pediatrics staff of 18, the department of pediatrics, under Dr. Rubin, l}.as grown to 33 full-time physicians, and a 75-member voluntary staff. From an approximate total of $38,000 in 1948, the research budget has increased to $2,163,967. From an outpatient department consisting of three specialty pediatrics clinics-cardiology, allergy, and dermatology-the 12 specialty clinics today are-allergy, arthritis, cardiac, endocrine, hematology, kidney, medical, neurology, nutrition, phychiatric, skin, and well-baby. Outpatient department records indicate about 70,000 visits per year. " Medicine today is so complex," stated this soft spoken man who was born in South Carolina, " that we must have enough specialties to study d isease in depth .. . to bring a rather broad base to pediatrics for understanding and for teaching." In the early days, through the foresight and encouragement of the Children's Hospital Board of Managers, funds were made available to attract additional staff. Without this support, specialty clinics could not h ave been started. Dr. Rubin's philosophy-an image of independence and responsibility-has extended to his staff. " Unless a man establishes himself in his own discipline, he does not develop himself as a person ." Good relations with the various health agencies and close ties with the community have b een maintained. With the attraction over the years of an excellent staff, centers have been developed which have received considerable support from independent outside sources.

A department of cardiology, established under the direction of Dr. Edward Lambert the same year, in conjunction with the Health Department, undertook a survey of school children diagnosed with cardiac abnormalities. A grant in 1951, supporting virology studies, preceded the department's wide participation in the then new polio vaccination program. A new speech and hearing clinic, established in 1954, was followed by a genetics clinic in the outpatient department. A vastly expanded program for the care of brain injured children in 1956, a neurological center for group therapy with parents, and increased post graduate education courses for practicing physicians were added to the growing list. A major contribution to child care in 1957 was expansion of psychological services. The hospital, as a community center for the care of children, was made possible through Dr. Rubin's close association with Mr. Moir Tanner, director of the Children's hospital for the past 30 years. Mr. Tanner will also retire at the end of this academic year. Basic science faculty participation has been generous in the development of a pediatric research center. "To treat a patient successfully is a great reward," stated Dr. Rubin. " The hospital is a referral center for SUMMER, 1967 the sick child." Clinical medicine has never been routine for Dr. Rubin. "Every day brings a new kind of problem." The reward of a reasonable amount of satisfactory participation in investigative and research is that "we learn to understand something." A nearly $2 million grant awarded to Dr. Rubin in 1962 by the National Institutes of Health called for the establishment and support of a general clinical research center for children. This resulted in the study and treatment of children with specifically complicated medical, surgical, and even psychiatric problems in a much more intensive fashion than had formerly been possible. A w ell-baby clinic demonstration �Dr. Rubin discusses well-child care with students, resident, and public health nurses . turn enters into department activity and is exposed to a center of academic activity. The hospital, during Dr. Rubin's 21 years, has become a center for the treatment of a number of problem conditions and diseases-cystic fibrosis, blood disorders, kidney disease, and phenylketonuria (PKU), an inborn defect that can lead to mental retardation. It was Dr. Robert Guthrie of the hospital staff who developed the blood test for PKU now used internationally to diagnose the disease during the early days of an infant' s life so that treatment can begin as early as possible. "My greatest satisfaction," stated this man who has awakened community interest, "is to sit down with students, talk about the major issues of medicine and society . . . get them to see the child and his entire relationship to family and to society." A weekly well-baby clinic is run by Dr. Rubin. Discussion with students and residents relating the environmental aspects of health follows regarding well child care in a model health clinic. One of the newer programs in the department, human genetics, includes cytogenetics, biochemical genetics, and genetics counseling. A greater awareness of the significance of genetic variability, the identity of several genetic variants, and a community service to other hospitals has resulted. His concern for making available results of research of every child has led to the establishment of a unique program. Over the years pediatricians in private practice have been invited to become members of the department staff. For a month each year, a number of such pediatricians teach in the outpatient department. They bring to students a knowledge of their specialty and expose them to good practice. The physician in 24 Willing to explore new ideas, he has always made a point of consulting his staff on many things. Weekly departmental staff meetings are held at which any topic may be discussed. Opinions are also sought from the voluntary faculty, students, and residents. This quality of democracy is somewhat unusual. Seventeen years ago, in 1950, Dr. Rubin was instrumental in initiating a lectureship to honor Dr. Douglas THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �P. Arnold, a distinguished pediatrician of the community. Personal or consulting physician to most of the children of the medical school faculty during his active years in practice, he was teacher to all but the youngest generation of the community's pediatricians. This year, the 18th annual Arnold Lecture, open to faculty, students, and medical community, was presented by Dr. Donald B. Cheek who heads the Johns Hopkins Division of Growth. Suggested during his lecture was the possibility that virus infections in a pregnant mother may affect the growth of her child after birth, even though the child has no obvious congenital defects. Unwilling to compromise his principles or his demand for excellence in all phases of medical practice, one of his concerns is the communication of this to students. "Look into the mirror and see what you look like. What is the image you have of yourself? What do you want to have of yourself? How do other people see you?" Perhaps one of his greatest contributions to the field of medicine has been his exemplary performance as a man who has devoted his life to academic pediatrics, to medicine, and to the development of community interest. The Children's Hospital today serves as a community center for the care of children. From the Children's Hospital Board of Managers, a Boehm ceramic bird-a collector' s item-was presented to him. The medical staff established a visiting lectureship in his honor. A large oil portrait of Dr. Rubin by Virginia Cuthburt, will be hung permanently in Kinch Auditorium. An occasion for celebration was Dr. Rubin's 65th birthday on Aprill. The hospital medical staff, joined by 25 former staff members who returned to honor SUMMEiR, 1967 their former chairman, presented a scientific program. The surprise participation, by those who left the department to assume positions of greater responsibility, was their way of saying "thank you" for his example of excellence and for their preparation for greater responsibility. A leather bound book containing letters from his friends and colleagues was presented to Dr. Rubin. A graduate of the Medical College of South Carolina, he held appointments, before coming to Buffalo, as associate attending physician at the Children's Hospital at Philadelphia, instructor in pediatrics at Johns Hopkins, and associate professor of pediatrics, University of Pennsylvania Medical School. Dr. Rubin holds memberships in many professional organizations. In 1946, he served as president of the Society for Pediatric Research. The Stockton Kimball award was presented to him in 1966, for his contributions to the School of Medicine and to the field of pediatrics. South Carolina added Dr. Rubin to its roster of 100 State sons and daughters who have brought credit to their n ative state. Concentrating research activities on kidney func tion in children, particularly prematures and other newborns, Dr. Rubin has published widely on the nature of kidney disease and its functional alterations in children. A lover of good music and the arts, he believes that a man must participate and do what he can in the broad sphere of the humanities. Unfortunately, his busy professional life has left him inadequate time to pursue these hobbies. And judging from his future schedule, it seems highly unlikely that there will ever be " adequate" time for this man whose goal has always been " excellence in every endeavor." • 25 �People in the News Dr. LaDuca The Niagara Falls Academy of Medicine honored Dr. Joseph V.

Gould said as he reviewed plans for the new campus in Amherst. " By the end of 1969," the chancellor said, "barring strikes or other delays, some buildings, perhaps a heating plant and other service buildings should be complete. Some dormitories should be ready by 1971." • THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REV IEW �People The inauguration of President Martin Meyerson has been changed from May 15 to Monday, May 29, at 10:30 a.m. in Kleinhans Music Hall. • Ninety-five medical students will be among approximately 2,500 seniors receiving degrees at the 121st annual commencement.

S CHWARTZ, THE BUFFALO M6DICAL REVIEW �THE MEDICAL ALUMNI AssociATION salutes Dean Surgenor for developing suggestions that the School of Medicine foster the publication of a medical journal. The result of these efforts is the Spring 1967 issue of The Buffalo Medical Review. The executive committee of the association were given an early preview of the purposes of and plans for such a publication by Dean Surgenor and were polled on the anticipated value to alumni relations. The reaction of the committee was unanimously favorable. The Alumni Association is allotted space in each issue to report on its activities and projects. For this, we are most grateful to the editorial board. This is another example of the fine spirit of cooperation and of the cordial relationship that exists between the Alumni Association and the School of Medicine. The inaugural issue of The Buffalo Medical R eview is a fine one, a worthy successor to the Buffalo M edical Journal and the Medical Press of Western N ew York historically associated with the early years of our school of medicine. The Alumni Association is especially proud that the lead article, " Bench Marks" by Dr. John H. Talbott, was originally presented at the 1965 Spring Clinical Days as the Stockton Kimball Memorial Lecture. It is a veritable travelog through the halls of the several buildings that served as the locus of the school of medicine; an intriguing h istorical review of the personalities and accomplishments of the founders of this University. The 1967 Spring Clinical Days were a definite success marked by near-capacity attendance at all sesSUMMER, 1967 sions, a tribute to the choice of topics and to the calibre of the faculty. The committee responsible for the 1968 Spring Clinical Days program faces a tremendous challenge in its efforts to surpass this year's program. The business session of the association was marked by the election -of new officers and the adoption of a revised, modernized set of by-laws for conducting the affairs of the association. The proposed by-laws were m ailed to all alumni at least one month prior to the meeting. They were adopted, unchanged, as presented in the proposed by-laws. I am certain that all the alumni and friends join me and my colleagues on the governing board of the Alumni Association in wishing Dean Surgenor and the editorial board continued success in the publication of The Buffalo Medical Rev iew. • Three UB medical alumni were re-elected to the Erie County Board of Health. They are: D r. Daniel C. Fisher, M '24, president; Dr. Alvin ]. Schweitzer, M '34, vice president; and Dr. Eugenia F. Bukowska, M '28, secretary. • Dr. James F.

W e hope this will be an effective means of communication between the School of Medicine and you, the alumni. We also hope this magazine will find its place among our own faculty, students, staff, friends, and other professional groups. We know you are interested in what is going on in Buffalo. Much of this magazine will be devoted to new developments at your School of Medicine. We are also interested in YOUR achievements and accomplishments, so please share th ese with us and your colleagues. We believe you are interested in people-the faculty and students-who they are, where they come from, what they think, and what they are doing in the classroom, the laboratory, our five affiliated hospitals, and the community we serve. We want to keep you better informed of these many activities. We also will tell you about the physical expansion and growth of the School of Medicine, The Health Sciences Center, and the entire University. There is more than bricks and mortar, however. The curriculum and methods of instruction are being updated and improved constantly. We are alert to opportunities to improve our educational program, research, and patient care. We must keep pace with the rapid advances in medicine by expansion and modernization. We will report these significant changes to you as they take place. It seems particularly appropriate to launch The Review with the publication of John Talbott's 1965 Stockton Kimball Memorial Lecture " Bench Marks." This scholarly history of the Medical School provides an excellent background against which to view the exciting events of today. In closing, perhaps I should tell you what T he Buffalo Medical R eview will not be. It will not be a highly technical or scientific publication. It will not always be impartial, but we hope you read and enjoy it. • DouGLAS M . SuRGENOR, Dean THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �THE HISTORY OF THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT of the Uni- Bench Marl~s by John H. Talbott, M.D. Before Dr. John H. Talbott was editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, he was professor of Medicine (1946-59) in our Medical School in Buffalo and chief of medicine at Buffalo General Hospital. From 1947-59 he was editor-in-chief of the journal Medicine and associate editor of the Archives of Inter-American Rheumatology from 1956-59. A prodigious worker, writer, editor, clinician, administrator and teacher; Dr. Talbott has written extensively on gout, collagen disease, uric acid metabolism, cold injury, circulation, m edical history, and a wide variety of other medical subjects. He presented this Stockton Kimball Lecture on Clinical Day, March 27, 1965. SPRING, 1967 versity of Buffalo is essentially the history of the University of Buffalo for the first fifty years. In the subsequent fifty years and into the second century of its life, the Medical Department has held its own in the University community and should fear no threatening competition in the foreseeable future. In the span of almost 120 years of the medical school, we can touch the bench marks in varying degrees of intimacy or we can reflect upon the position in progress of the bench marks of our academic ancestors by reviewing the documents prepared by those who helped mold the past or were on hand as observers to assist in the dedication of each notable marker. Bench marks have been placed on high peaks in the history of the School. Others have been placed on sites intermediary in significance, while a few rest in sterile sloughs far below an acceptable standard of academic procedure for a medical school of stature in the western world. At times one has been able to stand near a low bench mark and look back upon one firmly implanted on a noble pinnacle, just as a traveller in the western mountains can sight the location of a geodetic bench mark on peaks or high plateaus, meanwhile standing on the desert sand below sea level. The location of the bench markers of the geodetic survey is determined by a number of factors. Included are boundaries, mountain peaks, mountain passes, etc.; features determined by events beyond the will of man. On the other hand, the bench marks used in my comments are man made, not in the sense of fabrication but cast by events that are shaped by physicians in the destiny of the University of Buffalo School of M edicine. 3 �The first medical school at Washington and Seneca Streets, 1846 The Stockton Kimball Lecture was named in honor of one who placed a high bench mark in the history of our medical school. Stockton Kimball was a friend of yours and mine, whose deanship was almost a tour of duty running concurrently with the richly rewarding years of my service to this school and community. Stockton led the school out of World War II, from High Street to the University campus on Bailey Avenue; he led the school which at that time gave little more than lip service to geographic full-time medicine to a school with firmly entrenched full-time medicine. In this task he prepared the way for merger into State University of New York, an inevitable consequence of medical education on the Niagara Frontier. As our dean he was recognized by the inner circle of the leaders of American medical colleges, and his death from a rupture of an aortic leaflet, a complication of staphylococcal septicemia, from which he was making a hopeful recovery after an unnecessary delay in beginning antibiotic treatment, was a tragic event in the history of our school. But I am here to honor Stockton, not to bemoan a clinical error, and to identify him as one of the several men or events that have made the University of Buffalo School of Medicine a center of medical education and thereby left bench marks on high places during its nearly one century and a quarter of performance. The beginning of the school of medicine in 1846 was scarcely more than 30 years after the first physician entered into his professional duties in Erie County. 1 - 2 1. Mathieu, S.

THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REV IEW �The first physician was Dr. Cyrenius Chapin who, scarcely had he begun the practice of medicine, was taken prisoner on December 30, 1813, during the burning of Buffalo, by the British and the Indians. Not until peace was declared was he allowed to resume practice in Buffalo. It was at this approximate time, 1812 to be precise, that the Fairfield School, the first ancestor of Buffalo Medical College, and incorporated as the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Western District of New York in Fairfield, was granted a charter. 3 I am reminded that on the campus of Fairfield Academy a building is still standing in 1965, the original structure for the medical school and the oldest extant medical school building in New York State.4 Also Dr. John Corrie of Apalachicola, Florida, the inventor of modern air cooling, spent a year at Fairfield Medical College. In 1826 a charter was granted to Geneva Academy or Medical College, but little came of it until 1834 when the teaching staff, including Frank H. Hamilton, was organized largely from the faculty of Fairfield. The beginning of classes in Buffalo was possible through an arrangement with Geneva. Five members of the faculty of Geneva, James Hadley, M.D., professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy, Charles B.

Geneva continued to survive until 1872 when it became the medical department of Syracuse University. 5 The lectures were held at Buffalo initially in the building that was formerly the First Baptist Church. The sessions began in the fall. The second building of the school and the first designed exclusively for the school, erected at a cost of less than $25,000, continued in operation from 1849 to 1893. In contrast to the European system of medical instruction, with the school being grafted onto clinical facilities, our school seems to have been planned with little regard for clinical teaching. According to the records, when the faculty assembled in 1846, the Buffalo Hospital of the Sisters of Charity, founded by the Reverend John Timon, was several years away and the Buffalo General Hospital was not opened until 1858 with ex-president Millard Fillmore presiding. During the Civil War, the BGH facilities were taken over for the care of soldiers and sailors, and in 1865 war tents were erected on the grounds to increase the accommodations for the sick and wounded. I have selected several members of the early faculties for comment because of their national or international fame in the formative years of the school. In addition to the five members from Geneva, Austin Flint joined the faculty in 1846, and all must agree was one of the great members of the faculty throughout the school's entire history. Flint, the first of six 5. Park, J .: A History of the Un iversity of Buffalo (Buffalo : 1917, Reprinted from Vol. XXII, Publications of the Buffalo Historical Society). THE BUFFALO M EDICAL REV IEW �generations of physicians, was born in Petersham, Massachusetts, in 1812 and pursued undergraduate work at Amherst and medical school at Harvard. At the age of 21 he practiced medicine in Boston, later at Northampton, came to Buffalo· in 1836, and for most of the time between 1836 and 1858 lived, taught, and wrote in Buffalo. Flint became the first professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine in 1846, having previously served for one year in Chicago as professor of Medical Theory and Practice in Rush Medical College. Upon leaving Buffalo he spent one year at the University of Louisville as professor of Medical The second home of the medical school, Main and Virginia, 1849-1893 Theory and Practice. Then in 1856 he returned to Buffalo as professor of Pathology and Clinical Medicine, but two years later bec;ame professor of Clinical Medicine in the New Orleans School of Medicine. In 1860, at the age of 48, he accepted the professorship of the Principles and Practice of Medicine at Bellevue Hospital, and at times was professor of Pathology and Practical Medicine at Long Island College Hospital. In 1884 he served as president of the American Medical Association. Flint's studies of auscultation and percussion of the chest,6 and particularly his textbook of medicine which preceded Osler's by 25 years, was an outstanding treatise.7 He gave an exemplary exercise in epidemiology in 1843 as one of the first to trace the source of a typhoid epidemic, a bench mark at North Boston, only a few miles from our onetime home in Clarksburg. For a number of years and antedating my Buffalo tour of duty, I have claimed a first edition of Flint, published in 1866, in my private library and side-by-side with a first edition of Osler's Principles and Practice of Medi- cine of 1891 . Dr. James P. White, another charter member of the faculty, was born in Livingston County, New York,in 1811, began the study of medicine in 1830 as an apprentice in the office of Dr. Josiah Trowbridge, attended lectures at Fairfield, and graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1834.8 For 35 years (1846- 6.

He held various posts in the county and state medical societies, and in 1883 was vice president of the AMA. During the winter term of school (1849-1850), he encountered rough treatment from his colleagues during a towngown feud which reached the grand jury and an indictment against his enlightened course for students. When his class was shown a woman in labor, selected physicians of Buffalo being highly indignant wrote to Austin Flint, then editor of the Buffalo Medical lournal, as follows: 9 The undersigned, members of the Medical Profession, have noticed with regret, in the February number of your Journal, the Editorial article, and the correspondence to which it refers, entitled 'Demonstrative Midwifery' . The propriety of the exhibition with the living subject, before the graduating class at the College, as we understand it, does not, in our view, admit of a public discussion; and our only object in this communication is to say, that the practice does not 'commend itself to the cordial approbation of the medical profession of Buffalo, but on the contrary merits a severe rebuke ; b ecause we deem it wholly unnecessary for the purpose of teaching, unprofessional in manner, and grossly offensive, alike to morality, and common decency ... . This is so enormous, that it is not to be repeated in this, or any civilized community'. White eventually triumphed and continued to teach demonstrative midwifery and to practice his specialty. The memoir by Austin Flint of White was prepared shortly after his death. Flint describes White as probably the most successful, most outstanding, and most respected physician of Buffalo of his time. His grandfather was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, while 9. Farmer, L.: Doctors' Legacy, A Selection of Physician s' Le tte rs, 172 1-1954 (New York: Harpers & Bros., 1955) . 8 his father fought in the War of 1812. The family moved to East Hamburg in 1816 when it was rugged frontier country. While still in medical school, according to Flint, White cared for the sick in Black Rock during the cholera epidemic of 1832 and established himself as a practitioner in Buffalo in 1835 at the age of 24. He rapidly achieved an extensive practice and was one of the charter group who found time to teach the fall term at the Geneva Medical College while practicing in Buffalo. Frank H . Hamilton served as the first professor of Surgery (1846-1860). His text on the Principles and Practice of Surgery was prepared in 1872 while he was professor of the Practice of Surgery, with Operations, and of Clinical Surgery, in Bellevue Hospital Medical College. I make no attempt to pass judgment upon the strictly surgical sections, but in reviewing the text I noted with interest in a discussion of the treatment of exophthalmic goiter, the following: 10 The treatment consists of the use of tonics, nutrients, and especially in the long, continued use of iodine. Although Coindet of Geneva, prior to 1820, h ad used iodine in the treatment of the enlarged thyroid and probably toxic goiter, it was not until 1863, not long before Hamilton published his text, that Trousseau described the characteristic response of toxic goiter to iodine. Neither this observation of Trousseau's nor H amilton' s statement, which was spoken as a generally accepted procedure, persisted. Iodine received a bad name particularly under the influence of Kocker and it was not until the 1920's that E. Neiser, Plummer, and others rediscovered the value of iodine in the treatment of exophthalmic goiter. 10. Hamilton, F. H.: The Principles and Practice of Surgery ( New York : Will iam Wood & Co., 1872 ). THE BUFFALO M EDICAL REV I EW �At the beginning of the Civil War, Hamilton, while professor of Surgery and surgeon-in-chief to the Long Island College Hospital, was self-styled professor of Military Surgery and of Diseases and Accidents Incident to Bones in Bellevue Medical College. It looks as if he was released from service rather early because even in 1861 he is listed as "Late Surgeon, thirty-third Regiment, Fourth Brigade, Fourth Division, New York State Artillery." His Practical Treatise on Military Surgery begins as follows :11 One of the early records of skin grafting was a report by Hamilton in the December, 1854 issue of the British Medical ]ournalP He described an operation performed at the Sisters of Charity Hospital where he grafted a portion of skin 7" x 4" in dimension from the left leg to the right leg of Horace Driscoll. In a history of Harvard Medical School published in 1905 T. F. Harrington lists John C. Dalton, Jr. as one of the eminent alumni of Harvard. 13 Dalton was born in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, the son of a physician, entered Harvard College at the age of 15, and became a house pupil at the Massachusetts General Hospital in his second year at school when ether was first demonstrated by Morton on a surgical patient of John Collins Warren. Dalton was one of the intimate spectators of the demonstration. He is next to the left in the painting by Hinckley, described by Henry Viets as a sleepy looking boy with rumpled red hair, a member of Harvard Medical School class of 1847. In 1851, his essay on the Corpus Luteum received a prize from the American Medical Association and later an offer from Buffalo as he finished his postgraduate studies in the laboratory of Claude Bernard of Paris. Dalton taught in the College from 1851 to 1855 and prepared one of the first standard texts on physiology. 14 This was a comprehensive treatise and discussed, in addition to the usual subjects associated with physiology, chapters on food and nutrition, physiological chemistry, embryology, and the development of the infant. Before Dalton left for New York to teach on the faculty of The College of Physicians and Surgeons, he acquired considerable notoriety, and as late as 18961897 he was credited in the school catalog for that year as the " first to introduce vivi-sectional demonstrations into the physiology classroom in America." Furthermore, it was recorded at this time that " The physiological laboratory is open for work in experimental phys- 11. Hamilton, F.

War is the normal condition of mankind; peace is the abnormal condition. This statement is not flattering to a people claiming Christianity and boasting of its civilization; it is nevertheless true, and the fact must be accepted. He then goes on to quote Ballingal and a reponse of the nonprofessional soldier: Ballingal says: 'We find the Duke of Wellington, in his general order, cautioning the commanding officers of regiments, and the officers and non-commissioned officers of companies, to take care that no man falls out of the ranks under pretence of assisting the wounded, when he is not ordered to do so by his officer'; and Mr. Alcock states that he has seen 'in less than an hour, a whole battalion tail off after some fifty wounded.' SPRING, 1967 9 �iology, and instruction will be given to small classes on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons during the second half of the session. Attendance is optional." Thus, even in physiology, a truly experimental subject, the emphasis was on lectures rather than laboratory work. Dalton served three years with the Union Army during the war between the states, and occupied in succession the chair of physiology at the Buffalo and the Vermont Medical College, and the chair of physiology and microscopic anatomy at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. As a fitting tribute to his talents he was offered and accepted the presidency of the College in 1883. One of the high bench marks, although not entirely a medical school enterprise, was the establishment of the Buffalo Medical Journal, a truly remarkable publication which survived for more than fifty years. The journal was started by Austin Flint in 1846 as a privately financed venture. In 1861 the Journal was taken over by Dr. Julius F. Minor who served as professor of Ophthalmology and Surgical Anatomy and, from 1870 to 1875, dean of the faculty. Minor was president of the Erie County Medical Society and attending surgeon at the Buffalo General Hospital as well as the Sisters of Charity Hospital. He was one of the first to perform a successful thyroidectomy and an advocate of enucleation of ovarian tumors. But let us return to the founding of the Buffalo Medical Journal. The Introductory to Volume I by Austin Flint begins with the interest shown in the social and industrial economy of the area, particularly in reference to the Erie Canal which probably had much to do with making New York City supreme over Boston and Philadelphia, its strongest competitors on 10 the East Coast early in the 19th century. Flint justifies a new format as follows: 1 5 On the occasion of introducing to the Medical Public the first number of a new Journal, it will be expected of the Editor to give some reasons for its appearance, and to promise some account of the objects to which it will be devoted. It will readily be acknowledged, that for the more voluminous and elaborate Journals, in medical as in other departments of knowledge, we must look to the larger cities, where the elements and facilities for their preparation and diffusion, are to be found in the greatest abundance. But without any derogation from the superior claims of these, there are many reasons why they do not, and cannot, accomplish all the objects to be derived from periodical literature. Of these reasons, we may hereafter take occasion to speak more particularly and to discuss their respective merits. But assuming, for the p resent, their existence and validity, it has seemed to ourselves and others, that Buffalo is, in m any respects, a desirable location for a M edical Journal. T his opinion is b ased on its present and prospective size and resources; its relations with the east and west, through canals and railroads on the one hand, and the chain of the great Lakes, with their numerous tributaries, on the other. It is believed that sufficient material to commence an enterprise of this kind, may be derived from sources which will be constantly increasing and improving; and that a Medical Journal may do much, not only toward m aking available the material which already exists, but to render its future availability and improvement commensurate with its increase. By means of facilities for rapid and extensive communications on every side, our location is peculiarly favorable for the collection and diffusion of facts from a wide circuit, and the interchange of views and opinions among members of the profession, not only in this section of country, but situated at points remotely distant from each other. Thomas Fortescue Rochester, successor to Austin Flint, was born in Rochester, New York, graduated 15. Flint, A. : The Buffalo Me dical Journal ( Buffalo : Jewett, Thomas & Co., 1846 ). THE BUFFALO MEDI CAL REVIEW �from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School in 1848, and established himself in private practice in New York City. He was professor of Principles and Practices of Medicine at Buffalo from 1855-1887. He married Margaret Monroe DeLancy, daughter of the first Protestant episcopal bishop of Western New York, and their son, DeLancy Rochester, carrying on the medical tradition, was also professor of Medicine at the medical school. T. F. Rochester reported a third case of perforation of the intestine at the vermiform appendix to the Buffalo Medical Association.16 He had previously reported two instances; this, the third case, was a coachman whose probable diagnosis of abdominal pain was renal calculus. Postmortem examination however revealed a perforation at the junction of the appendix and the colon. Although Rochester realized the clinical findings of inflammation of the appendix, the full potentialities for surgical treatment remained for Reginald Fitz in 1886. In 1878 the Annual Convention of the American Medical Association was held in Buffalo and T. F. Rochester was chairman of the Committee of Arrangements. Buffalo. George Miller Sternberg, born in O tsego County, was apprenticed to Dr. Hiram Lathrup of Cooperstown in 1858-1859, and graduated M .D. from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1860. Sternberg sponsored the founding of the Army Medical School, served as White House physician to President McKinley, assigned Walter Reed to the Pathological Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in preparation of Reed's experimental studies on yellow fever in Cuba and, in 1900, organized the yellow fever commission. His writings include a monograph on Infection and Imm unity and a Manual of Bacteriology which was the standard text in many medical schools in this country for a generation. Th e apprentice certificate, 1864 Although the Medical School was composed of an illustrious group of teachers, the apprentice system of acquiring medical and surgical experience was practiced widely at that time. The present Health Sciences Library of the University possesses a number of certificates attesting to the satisfactory performance of apprenticeship. I wonder how many are aware that one of the most outstanding surgeon generals of the United States Army spent his first year in medicine, 1859-1860, in 16. MacCallum, J.

Lyon of BuHalo was eager to have the claims of his father properly recorded in medical h istory. The senior Dr. Lyon, in 1863, transmitted a report on Chronic Hereditary Chorea to the American M edical 12 Times 17 in which he recognized practically all the features of the disease, described later by Huntington and now identified by the eponym. The great years of the mid-19th century for the medical school were challenged in brilliance a genera17. Lyon, I. W. : " Chronic Hereditary Chore a," Am Med Times (Dec ) 1863.

Mann, Roswell Park, Charles G. Stockton, and Eli H . Long. But interwoven with the pride of the profession, we begin to discern discords of bitter jealousies between the Niagara University Medical School and its secular hospitals, and the University of Buffalo School of Medicine and its principal clinical affiliate, the Buffalo General Hospital. Another sign of greatness mixed with mediocrity was the crusade by Rollin R. Gregg, M.D., who in the reputable weekly Science sought support for his theory of spontaneous generation and against the bacteriology of Pasteur. According to Gregg, a graduate of Hahnemann Medical School, class of 1883, and practitioner of medicine at 664 Main Street in Buffalo, fibrin coming back to life could explain all of Pasteur' s findings. The editors of Science replied as follows :18 We have received three pamphlets by Dr. Rollin R. Gregg of Buffalo, entitled 'Diphtheria and bacteria', 'Professor Pasteur's experiments, bacteria in various diseases', and 'The revelations of fibrin'. They embody the results of the writer's so-called scientific experiments upon fibrin, of which material he finds all forms of bacteria to be composed. Inasmuch as he gives no reason to suppose that any proper methods of sterilization were employed, and displays his ignorance of the fact tha t distilled Water may be full of microorganisms, it does not seem possible that the papers will command much a ttention. Indeed, no such work is worthy of criticism; for the day has passed when the pa thogenic properties of bacteria as such can be disputed, except as the result of the most careful labor by experts in all the methods of manipulation. 18. Landing, B. H. " Rollin R. Gregg of Buffalo," Bull Hist Med 36 :524-528 (Dec) 1962. SPRING, 1967 Dr. Matthew Derbyshire Mann was a medical scientist of a different caliber. He was born in Ith aca, New York, in 1845, took his undergraduate work at Yale, and received the doctorate degree in 1871 from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York. Graduate studies were continued in Europe, almos t a prerequisite at that time for one whose ambition s included a major teaching assignment, and from 1879 to 1881 he lectured on gynecology at Yale M edical School. In 1882 Mann was appointed to the chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Buffalo; he served also as consulting gynecologist to the Buffalo General Hospital, and for several years he was dean of the faculty. Dr. Mann performed the operation at the Pan American Hospital on William McKinley, President of the United States, shortly after the President received a mortal wound from an assassin ' s gun. The bullet penetrated both walls of the stomach and lacerated the upper pole of the kidney, but the President lingered for a week after surgery. The autopsy report which was signed by 14 physicians and surgeons exon erated the attending surgeons, and left it clear that the death was an act of God and beyond the powers of th e medical and surgical talents, techniques, and drugs of that time. Settlement of the fees (honoraria) was a public matter for discussion in the press.

Several of the outstanding physician s in this period were entrepren eurs beyond the strict confines of the treatment of th e ill and practice of the medical art. The Buffalo Medical Journal, a p rofit-making operation owned and published by the editor on a highly scientific plane, was ch allenged by a new periodical, the Medical Press of Western New York. The solicitation letter for new subscriptions notes that Roswell Park was editor and Thomas F. Rochester, president of the Board of Trustees.20 This journal is published by the Medical Press Association, most of the stockholders being alumni of the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo. The editor and one of h is able collaborators hold chairs in this department at present. 'We would be very grateful to you for your cooperation in the work of spreading its influence, an d therefore solicit your subscription, $2.00 per ann um in advance'. All was not serene and the Catholic U nion, Septemb er 30, 1886, under the heading, "A Pill-Pounder Pilloried," had the following to say :21 19. Mann, M. D. : A System of Gynecolog y ( Philade lph ia : lea Bros., Vol II, 1888 ) . 20. letter sent by the Medical Press Association of Western New York. 21. News Re port : "A Pill Pounder Pillo ried," Catholic Union ( Sept 30) 1886. 15 �The Medical Press of Western New York is the pretentious title of a new monthly magazine published in this city, in the alleged interests of a noble and humane profession. Judging, however, from the tone and tenor of the number before us, a total disregard for truth and a brutal desire to offer wanton insult to the Catholic citizens of Buffalo, would seem to be no secondary factors in its make up. Because forsooth the Catholic Church prefers to have the bodies of its diseased children buried rather than burned, this medical fledgling raises a hysterical howl that makes us shiver and that marks the development of a serious malady in one so young. Call the ambulance (bought by the Charity Organization?) and have the wee thing sent at once for treatment to the General Hospital. This appeared to me to be a declaration of hostilities between the two schools. Niagara Medical Schoot organized in 1883, had a relatively brief life. Through a number of reasons, including an inability to attract students of intellectual stature, and a reputation that suffered when compared with the Buffalo Medical School, it was absorbed by Buffalo in 1898. Many of the senior members of the Niagara faculty were granted professorial rank in the Buffalo faculty, including Dr. Henry C. Buswell who was appointed adjunct professor of Principles and Practice of Medicine. The appointment was representative of several and, instead of equality in the amalgamated school, Buswell was given a subsidiary appointment rather than a Department headship. Stockton Kimball's grandfather was farsighted and survived the amalgamation without loss of seniority. Dr. Charles Cleason Stockton graduated from Buffalo Medical School in 1878. From 1883 to 1887 he was professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics at Niagara, but a decade before the amalgamation transferred to the University of Buffalo, where for 30 years 16 he served as professor of Medicine. He contributed chapters to several systems of medicine and prepared his own Diseases of the Stomach. At the time of his transfer, Dr. Lathrop, in letters to the editorial department of the Buffalo News, commented on his succeeding T. F. Rochester as follows :22 As to his fitness for the new place said : ' Oh, he will fill it in a h ighly satisfactory manner, much better, in fact, than it was filled by Dr. Rochester. Dr. Stockton is a very capable physician with an excellent expression. T he only regret I have is that he got into damned bad company' . The Niagara faculty countered in an expression of pseudo regret : " Dr. Stockton is an overrated man and the attempt to stand him up in Rochester's shoes is ridiculous ... it is a puzzle to me how he came to get Dr. Rochester's place in the other college." When amalgamation was complete, the following announcement appeared in the paper :23 It is with great pleasure that the announcemen t is made that the Medical D epartment of the University of Buffalo and the Medical D epartment of Niagara University h ave coalesced. The faculties of the two institutions will h enceforth work together under the charter of the University of Buffalo. This will add materially to the teaching strength of the institution, as the Niagara faculty brings not only a number of strong and experienced teachers, but also a quantity of valuable apparatus, books, pathological specimens, and a great amount of material for clinical instruction. On the roster of the Department of Medicine of Buffalo, the names of Professors Stockton, Rochester, Jones, Cary, and Matzinger, formerly of Niagara Uni- 22. News Report : " In . . . Bad Company," News, 1887. 23 . News Report : ( Not ide ntified ). THE BUFFA LO M EDICAL REV IEW �versity, persisted, but Henry Buswell fared less well. Probably it is too soon to integrate fact and fable of the Buswell-Hochstetter saga. Dr. Buswell was a brother-in-law of Mr. Hochstetter, who, a number of years before his death, was persuaded to leave his oil leases, oil stocks, and selected other items of value to the University of Rochester, thereby slighting Buffalo by several million dollars. During the long years of Mr. Hochstetter' s impending senescence, Wm. M cCann, professor of Medicine at Rochester, made regular visits to Buffalo to see his patient who was my back door neighbor on Penhurst Park. Dr. McCann took some delight in chiding me about the impending loss of endowment to Buffalo and, like a devoted niece waiting for a rich uncle to die, seemed overly solicitous of my neighbor's welfare. Then, through superhuman efforts with clever persuasion by Harry La Forge plus several others who take full credit, M r. Hochstetter's will was prepared so as to leave a bequest to the University of Rochester and to the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo; the munificent endowment was reported in the press to exceed 10 million dollar s for each school. In the mid-SO's, we were sitting on a low bench m ark, not realizing that a high bench mark would soon be ours. Article Fifteen of the recorded will of Ralph Hochstetter includes the following: ARTICLE FIFTEENTH : I g ive, devise and bequeath , in equal shares, to THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER, a corporation duly o rganized a nd existing under the laws of the State of New York, a nd having its p rincipal office in the City of Roch ester, New York, a nd to the UNIVERSITY OF BuFFALO, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Sta te of New York, and having its principal office in the City of Buffalo, New York, all oil and gas royalties of wh ich I sh all b e seized or possessed a t the time of my decease, to be employed a nd separately adm inis tered as independent SPRING, 1967 funds by each of the said Un iversities, for the su pport of research fellows who sh all be graduates in med icine from recognized m edical schools and w ho sh all have comple ted the necessary preliminary tr ain ing to enable them to enga ge in research in their chosen field, and who sh all be accepted by either of the said Un iversities as research fellows thereof : and I direct tha t there shall be no discrimination against any cand idate on the grounds of race, creed, color or sex. I also direct that the income and principal of each such fund shall at a ll times be u sed only for such purpose or purposes above mentioned a s are comprehended in the general objects at such time authorized, respectively, by the charters of said Un iversities. It seems reasonable to believe that the earlier reference in the secular dispute to burial versus cremation was touched off by the opening of the new Bu ffalo Crematorium near Forest Lawn in which Drs. Carey and Roswell Park had financial interests. This is another example of the breadth of vision of a leading physician and surgeon of Buffalo, influen cing students by playing a skillful game of headmanship in the departments of a proprietary school, financially interested in a provincial medical publication for their professional associates, and promoters of a crematorium for the dead . The crematorium n ear Forest Lawn, which m ay well be the one that still stands across the street, received good publicity at its first run. A reporter from the Courier in 1886, under the h eading " Ashes to Ashes," reported the following :24 D espite a ttemp ts to preserve secrecy, the press wa s alert as always a n d a Courier represen tative was present. T he m aster of ceremonies was Guiseppe Geromini, an Italia n engineer, who supervised the erection of the furnace. A s hi s linguis tic talen ts were limited to French a nd Ital ian, the expla na tion s and o rders were given through the interpreter. 24 . News Repo rt : " Ashes to Ashes," Courier, 1886 . 17 �The first of the privileged spectators to arrive were, you guessed it, Messrs. Brady and Drullard, the undertakers, bringing the corpse. Continuing the description, I quote: Then followed Dr. Charles Carey, the president of the company, Drs. Roswell Park and D . W. Harrington, directors. The fire was then lighted with hard dry kindling, and shortly the whole chamber appeared to be filled with a rosy, luminous, opaque vapor, which completely concealed the form on the slab. There was no fla shing forth of fierce flame s, no writhing of the burning body, no crackling sounds, no explosion. There was nothing revolting, disagreeable or painful. . . . When the Corpse was first exposed to the flame a slight vapor was discernible escaping from the chimney. !lome of the spectators climbed to the roof to ascertain the character of this emanation, and found it to be simply steam. There was no odor whatever, either in the crematory or at the chimney-top. Then Signor Geromini "at once telegraphed to the Baltimore Association, who were awaiting the result of the trial before ordering their apparatus, that the test had proven a success in every particular." Does the name Harrington sound familiar? It should because it was Dr. D . W . Harrington who established an endowment, the Harrington Lectures, in 1896 with $12,000. The growth rate has been interminably slow and, late in 1964, the endowment had increased to slightly over $25,000. A smart investor could have turned such an amount in 1896 into a sizable fortune today. In 1901, Buffalo graduated one of its most notorious alumni, William Brady, medical columnist supreme. In 1914 he began writing a column for the Elmira Star Gazette and today remains one of the highest paid purveyors of health misinformation in America. 18 During the period of accelerated academic progress in the 1880's, thought was given to affiliation with a university, since Buffalo lacked a College of Arts and Sciences, and the replacement of the outmoded building on Main and Virginia Streets. Over the initials R. P., probably Roswell Park, the Courier carried the announcement of the desirability of consolidating the facilities of Cornell University with those of Buffalo Medical School, since the University of Buffalo was hardly a university in name, only a medical school. This apparently was not taken seriously, but the tentacles of Cornell reached out in the 1940's to annex the aeronautical laboratory on the outskirts of Buffalo. The announcement in the Courier fo r February 28, 1886, concluded with an obvious dig at the citizens of Buffalo, beginning as follows :25 Thought should be given to the possibility or desirability of linking our home medical school with the medical department of Cornell University. Whether this has been seriously thought of we do not know; whether even it would be agreeable to the h ome institution we canno t say; nevertheless, from our point of viewthe greatest good to the greatest number- we should con sider it in every way a most desirable consolidation. Cornell is great and lasting, yet h as no m edical department such as it needs to round out its fullness as a university. Ithaca is by all means too small a town to furnish those clinical facilities necessary to proper medical training. The University of Buffalo, on the other hand, is only kept alive by the devotion of men of one profession, who have made it known the world over. W e h ave already in these columns called attention to how much the faculty of the m edical school have done for Buffalo, and how little Buffalo has done for them. 25. News Report : " Cornell and the Medical College," Courier ( Feb 28) 1886. THE BUFFALO M EDICAL REVIEW �The third medical school building at 24 High Street, 1898-1953 But nothing came of this suggestion and a dozen years later, in 1898, the medical school of Cornell began instruction in Manhattan. The faculty failed to affiliate with Cornell but they were successful in building a new plant. Agitation for a new building, before final action was taken, appeared in a press clipping of 1885, probably the Courier, as follows :26 the sanguine-and could be built out of the superfluous incomes of one or two of our rich men. Were the salaries of the members of the faculty proportioned in some degree to the amount of service rendered they could, without pecuniary loss, give their best time to the college . .. . Were 'the medical college' to be removed from the city its absence would be instantly felt in the loss to Buffalo of a circle of scholarly, scientific, and progressive professional men who now fill its chairs . . . . that after fifty years of honorable existence, during which period Buffalo has grown from a poor town to a large and wealthy city, the 'great university' projected by Dr. Austin Flint remains, as he left it, only the medical department of a hypothetical university. With the exception of a little money raised at its inception for the erection of the building, the college has been supported entirely by the personal efforts of its faculty. The tuition of the pupils pays the running expenses. When there is any money left over, it is divided among the faculty-when there is a deficit, that is divided, too. A new building suited to modern needs and containing ample laboratory space is not beyond the dreams of This served until it too became senile long before its life expectancy and was replaced by the present complex on the University campus. The announcement of 1896 contained the following :27 26. News Report: "The Importance and Needs of the Buffalo Medical College An Institution to be Proud of," Courier, 1885. 27. Fifty-First Annual Announcement of the University of Buffalo Medical Department ( Buffalo: City Press, 1896). SPRING, 1967 Then in 1898 the annual catalogue contained the following: The Medical, Pharmacal, and Dental Departments of this University are now occupying their palatial new buildings at 24 High Street, near the corner of Main. 19 �The lobby of the third medical school building at 24 High Street It gives th e faculty of the institution the greatest pleasure to make this announcement, because they feel that they have the most tasteful, com fortable and best arranged medical college edifice in t he United States; perhaps even in the w orld . . . . It is built in accordance w ith the mos t modern ideas of heatin g, plumbing, and ventilation . It is finished entirely with terra cotta, pressed brick, iron and hard wood, than which nothing can be m ore attractive, and has been so tastefully designed and so w ell built that IT IS NOW POINTED T O AS ONE OF THE M OST ATTRACTIVE PiUILDINGS OF ANY KIND O UTSIDE OF NEW YORK CITY. The building is situa ted almost in the geographical center of this large and rapidly g rowing city, near converging lines of street cars, accessible from all directions .. . . It is easy to visualize an endless line of street cars converging on 24 High Street bringing faculty, students, and patients to this medical center. Yes, patients were brought h ere to what was called the Dispen sary, the outpatient department. The current practice of memorizing passages from text books and repeating them verbatim to the professor, seems a low-placed bench mark in the 1890' s. In the catalogue for 1898 it is stated th at 28 "in the Department of Medicine the students will be required during the second year to prepare themselves upon given subjects in Osler' s Practice and recite the same before an instructor." A more auspicious event in 1898 was the announcement of the first appropriation by the State of N ew York legislature from public funds for a cancer institute. The money w as assigned to the medical department of the University of Buffalo through the efforts of Roswell Park and Edward H. Butler of the Evening 28. Fifty-Thi rd Annua l An nouncement o f the Uni versity of Buffalo Med ica l Department ( Buffa lo: G irs & Co., 18 98). THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVIEW �News. Park was made director of the laboratory; H. R . Gaylord, pathologist; G. H. A. Clowes, Ph.D., biological chemist; and H. G. Matzinger, bacteriologist. During the first three years the work was carried out at 24 High Street, but in 1901, through the generosity of Mrs. W. H. Gratwick and friends, the Gratwick Laboratory was constructed. In 1911 it became a state institution and in 1913 the hospital adjoining was dedicated while the exercises were held in the alumni hall of the medical school, emphasizing the close liaison at that time with the University. The accomplishments and reputation of the Institute as a treatment and research center are so well known that current comments are superfluous. Meanwhile the medical school liaison has varied in cohesion. In 1946 the Institute claimed no close ties with the university and its affiliated teaching hospitals. In the following decade, the ties were strengthened although there were a number of appointments of the Staff of the Institute in the Graduate School of the University. With the State of New York taking over the University in 1962, we find an anomalous situation once more. The Institute, designed for study and treatment of malignant disease, is in the Health Department of the State while the University is under the Commission of Education. Why the two great institutions were not closely integrated at the state level a few years ago is to me an enigma of bureaucracy that defies explanation. The most distinguished dynasty in Western New York medicine began with Benjamin Potter, born in 1787, who married Phoebe Eastman, the daughter of SPRING, 1967 Demolit ion of th e third medical school building at 24 High Street, 1953 a physician. ~n Drs. Eastman and Potter settled in the Holland Purchase where they began the practice of m edicine in 1808. His son, Melton Elton Potter (18161 E75) was associated with the Buffalo Medical College as Curator, although he practiced in Cowlesville in Wyoming County. Next is Melton G. Potter (1843187 8) , a graduate of Buffalo Medical School in 1 867 who taught materia medica, became professor of-Anat~ omy, and served as dean of the Faculty in 187 4 . The most famous was Irving White Potter (1 868-1 956), graduate of the University of Buffalo School of Medi29. Matthieu, S.

Many of us remember Dr. Potter, kind, gentle, and idolized by his patients. Then Milton G. Potter, Jr., my contemporary, and his three sons, M. Grosvenor, Jr., Benjamin E., and Paul H . Potter followed their father and grandfather in Obstetrics or Gynecology. Dr. Irving White Potter, in his monograph in 1922, justified his procedure ::w The purpose in writing the following pages is to bespeak a wider employment of the operation of version-using this term as it is now generally understood by the medical profession-that is, the 30. Potte r, I. W.: The Mosby, 1922 ) . 22 Place of Ve rsion in Obste trics ( St. Louis: internal podalic version of obs tetric literature. From an expe rien ce extending over ma n y years of practice, including thousands of personally conducted cases of labor, I have come to believe that it is justifiable to perform a version for the purpose of eliminating the second stage of labor, and relieving the woman of the pains and agonies of childbirth, since such a procedure in m y han d s has been a ttended b y no increase of fe tal mortality and has had a lessened maternal mortality and future morbidity. This conclusion does not seem to me to be an innovation in obstetric practice, but ra ther a logical advance a nd extension o f a perfectly understood maneuver which has been made possible b y the modern conception of asepsis with anesthesia. When my practice and conclusions were first presented to the medical profession at large, I was met by persistent opposition and bitter criticism. Not only was m y m ethod condemned as unscientific and d angerous, b u t my records and statistics were regarded as doubt fu l a nd my personal good fai th ca lled in THE BUFFALO MED ICAL REVI EW �'• question. After a lapse of several years the attitude of the profession has been modified; my records have been accepted and my personal ·honesty acknowledged. Opportunity has been afforded to any one who wished to observe my method in actual practice, and a great many men, many of them distinguished in the profession, have paid me a visit. Some of those who formerly denounced me and my methods are now silent; and a large number have made a study of the procedure, thereafter successfully applying it in their own work. Another distinguished Potter was Dr. William Warren Potter, a grand uncle of M . G.

He founded the American Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and for 14 years was president of the Board of Medical Examiners of the State of New York, and was editor of the Bu ffalo Medica/Journal as late as 1903. Dr. Charles G. Stockton was a faithful correspondent of William Osler, and Mrs. Stockton Kimball retains several of Osler's letters to Stockton, of which the Potter dynasty is an example. I reviewed the monograph on D iseases o f the Stomach and Th eir R elation to Other Diseases by Stockton Kimball's grandfather, Charles G. Stockton, for items of interest that reflected the thinking or practice of this specialty one-half century ago. The confusion persisted at that time between relating dyspepsia and oxaluria to gouty arthritis. The following remarks were made in the chapter on Diathesis and Dyspepsia that have failed miserably to stand the test of time. 31 Hereditary metabolic peculiarities, the expression of which is recognized in diathesis, produce symptoms depending in degree upon the incompatibility of the routine habits of life of the individual with the special needs of his organism as conditioned by the diathesis. In early life when the nutritive processes are vigorous, the possessor of a gouty diathesis, provided he leads an active, outdoor existence, may be free from symptoms regardless of diet. Many chronic dyspeptics are in fact suffering from latent gout, and are best relieved by treatment which takes this into consideration and which lessens the intake of purins and p romotes their elimination. Closely allied to latent gout, or lithemia, is that diathesis in which oxaluria occurs as a prominent manifestation. This condition of oxaluria, concerning which Goldring-Bird and Prout wrote wisely more than half a century ago, has been much neglected by clinicians in recent years. (Continued on Page 26) 31.

The first was an offer, frequently rumored but not officially confirmed, of 2 million dollars in 1920 by the Rockefeller Foundation, for a full-time staffed medical school in Western New York if similar matching funds were provided locally. Rumor has it that the school and city rejected the offer which was promptly accepted by the University of Rochester. The second unfortunate event occurred in 1926 when Lucien Howe, son of a first lieutenant in the Second Dragoons, later named the 2nd Cavalry, had participated in the Indian Wars of the Southwest. Howe attended Bowdoin College, spent a year at Harvard, and completed his studies at the proprietary schools of Long Island College Hospital and Bellevue Hospital Medical School. Postgraduate education was carried out under Lister at Edinburgh, and Helmholtz and Zuntz in Berlin, which led to membership in the Royal College of Surgeons. Howe gave some thought to joining the British Medical Service in India, but instead came to Buffalo in 1874 and did not leave until 1926, more than 50 years later. His training was excellent-the best of his day-and he grew to be an outstanding ophthalmologist, publishing a number of papers, and serving on the editorial staff of the American Journal of Ophthalmology. His most pretentious treatise was a two-volume work on muscles of the eye, published in 1908-1909.32 He pioneered in the prophylaxis against ophthalmic neonatorum, and crusaded in support of the education of nurses to u se silver nitrate in the eyes of the newborn. He served on the Section of Ophthalmology of the American Medical Association, and before leaving Buffalo he set up funds for two 32. Howe, L. : The Muscles o f the Eye ( New York and london : G. P. Putnam's Sons, Vol. 1, 1907, Vol. 2, 1908) . SPRING, 1967 medals, one for the Section of Ophthalmology of the American Medical Association and the other to be awarded by the University of Buffalo.~ 3 Now comes the sad part. After practicing for 50 years in Buffalo, Howe, well- to-do from his practice and having an affluent wife, offered Buffalo a substantial sum of money for the construction of a research laboratory in ophthalmology, providing Buffalo would m atch the funds . Buffalo turned the offer down, but when Harvard was given the opportunity the University responded, and in a short time the Howe Laboratory at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, and staffed by the Ophthalmology Department of Harvard Medical School, became one of the best eye laboratories in the world and one of the most heavily endowed. The original bequest of $250,000 by the Howes was supplemented by a similar amount from Harvard and later enriched by the Howes. We now move into the current era noting that Stockton Kimball was a member of the famous Class of 1929, with George Thorn, Max Lockie, Frank M yers, and Victor Cohen, to mention only a few of his associates. Time is forever, yet time does not exist, it is only the events along the way that are alive, and h ave meaning, and generate tender memories or bitter recollections. You are members of the Alumni Association of a Medical School with a distinguished past and an awesome future. I think the passage from Eugene O ' Neill's Strange Interlude is appropriate to conclude these remarks in honor of a loyal friend, Stockton Kimball : The only lively life is in the past and future. The present is an interlude, strange interlude, in which we call on past and future to bear witness we are living. 33.

THE BUFFALO M EDICAL REVIEW �of a $300,000 grant, the Regional Medical Program for the Western New York area was launched. The National Institutes of Health awarded this grant on December 1, 1966 to the Research Foundation of the State University of New York. As coordinator Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, dean of the School o.f Medicine, holds the responsibility for developing a local program which meets the objectives of Public Law 89-239 (The Heart, Cancer and Stroke Act of W r T H THE AWARD ~,.- ' : Genesee l.--I 1wyoming I I I 1Chau~auqua I Erie, Pa. I 1965). What Are the Objectives of This New Law? As stated in this Legislation: I I I Cattarauc:JUS I Allegany I I I I L-~--------------------------&---------The Regional Medical Program for the Western New York Area SPRING, 1967 ~~~~~-~------------- ---~---- (a) through grants to encourage and assist in the establishm ent of regional cooperative arrangements among medical schools, research institutions, and h ospitals for research and training (including continuing education), and for related demonstrations of patient care in the fie lds of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and related diseases. (b) to afford to the medical profession and medical institutions of the nation through such cooperative arrangements the opportunity of making availa ble to their patients the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. (c) by these means to improve generally the h ealth manpower and facilities available to the nation a nd to accomplish these ends without interfering with the pattern or the methods of financing of patient care or professional practice over the administration of hospitals and a cooperation with practicing physicians, medical center officials, hospital administrators, and representatives of appropriate voluntary health agencies. This legislation was necessary in view of the n eed to close the gap between the discovery of new knowledge in the laboratory and its applications to the patient at the bedside. The critical problem facing the medical profession today is how to make the great advances in the diagnosis and treatment of heart, cancer, and stroke quickly accessible to th e practicing physician. 29 �What Is a Regional Medical Program? The Regional Medical Program is defined as ... a cooperative arrangement among a group of public or nonprivate institutions or agencies engaged in research, training, diagnosis, and treatment relating to heart disease, cancer, or stroke. Such a program must be situated within an appropriate geographic area composed of a section or sections of one or more states, and consist of one or more medical, hospital, and clinical research centers with an adequate cooperative arrangement among the various compon~nt units. Full utilization of our existing facilities and trained manpower, with economy and efficiency through improved community planning, will serve to augment rather than duplicate these services. Education and training, supported by this law, provides an opportunity not only for improved and expanded programs of continuing medical education for the practicing physician, but for individualized training programs in allied health professions that are essential to the physician. How Did Our Regional Medical Program Develop? Following testimony at the 1964 Congressional Hearings of the proposed bill (initiated from the report of the President's Commission on Heart, Disease, Cancer, and Stroke under the chairmanship of Dr. Michael E. DeBakey), Dean Surgenor returned to Buffalo to call together the forces needed to establish a regional medical program. An Interim Coordinating Committee, composed of key people concerned with health and health care operations, was formed to study the bill and to suggest ways in which Western New York could develop such a program. 30 The group, under the chairmanship of Dean Surgenor: DR. GEORGE MooRE, Director, Roswell Park M emorial Institute DR. EvAN CALKINS, Chairman, Department of Medicine, SUNY AB DR. RoBERT AusMANN, Director, Health Research, Inc. DR. WILLIAM E. MosHER, Erie County Health Commissioner DR. LAVERNE CAMPBELL, Western N ew York R egional Health Officer, New Yo rk State Department of Health DR. HERBERT E . JoYcE, Past President, Medical Society of the County of Erie In January, 1966 this committee called together representatives from the medical, hospital, and other health related professions, and practicing physicians, as well as voluntary health agencies. These interested people were to represent the eight-county region to be covered by this program (Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Wyoming, and the county of Erie in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania). From each county came the health and hospital commissioner, the medical society representatives, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, the hospital administrators, and the American Cancer Society and Heart Association chairman. Social welfare agency, public health, and nursing representatives, as well as education personnel were also present. Each represented a vital area to be covered by the program. This group, originally invited to participate in the formation of the program, evolved into the Regional Advisory Group. This was no simple task. For the first THE BUFFALO MEDI CAL REVIEW �time in the history of Western New York, an assemblage from the above groups met with a common objective. In an atmosphere paralleling that of a town meeting, all forces presented their particular point of view. As the day wore on, there was a most unique spirit of understanding and cooperation. It was unanimously agreed, it is the patient who must benefit from the law. Wholehearted support was expressed for a regional medical program for Western New York. Several meetings were held by the group during the spring of 1966. The outcome of these meetings-the formation of a new nonprofit organization called Health Organization of Western New York, Inc.-to serve as the advisory body which must approve all features of the proposed regional medical program as it develops. Incorporated into the initial grant application was their proposed six-point planning program: • a coronary care unit feasibility study • the feasibility of multiphasic screening in Western New York • health care team planning • a medical communications study • a planning survey for a local consultation program • a health care manpower survey Planning this comprehensive and coordinated regional medical program proved to be a tremendous challenge. Constantly in the forefront was the goalto develop a sound and workable proposal. This necessitated cooperative participation by all concerned. Implementation of the program will require the employment of skilled medical personnel as project directors. To house this center, offices have been established at the School of Medicine Main Street Division, at 2211 SPRING, 1967 Main Street, Buffalo (formerly the Chronic Disease Research Institute). The program will be supervised from this office, but projects will radiate out into the total region. It is anticipated that community hospitals will serve as the focus for diagnosis, treatment, education, and training. Special services and consultations will be available through the Medical Center. The success of such a program hinges on improved communication among all participants to meet the continual needs of the region. How Will the Program Benefit the Practicing Physician? As stated one of the main objectives of this law is to mak e readily available to the practicing physician the latest adv ances in the diagnosis and treatment which will in turn be passed on to his patient. As a regional medical program develops, this is accomplished by providing the physician with both information and services through approved and expanded programs in the field of continuing education and in the form of new communication techniques. Many new services will undoubtedly develop from future technical and scientific progress. The practicing physician will also benefit from the development of expanded programs in the allied health professions. At present the principal activity of the Regional Medical Program is one of planning. Through participation and cooperation in this planning, the practicing physician will have an opportunity to define his needs, and thereby play an active role in the development of a future regional medical program. (Continued on Page 45) 31 �From the desk of and privilege of being a Medical School alumnus and president of the General Alumni Association, I feel doubly happy to participate in the inauguration of this new publication. We wish it great success. HAVING THE DUAL HONOR Stuart L. Vaughan, M.D. '24, president, General Alumni Association The first alumni of our University were Medical alumni, and the backbone of alumni organization for many years has been the associations of the individual schools. The activities of these school associations have been and still are of paramount importance not only to the individual schools but for the University. We all take deep pride in their promotion of financial help, scholastic achievement, community success, and extracurricular events, many of which have earned wide acclaim. These school associations, and a variety of area clubs and special groups, continue to func tion in ways best suited to their types of membership. The policy of the University and its administration is to strengthen University loyalty without weakening loyalties to any department or division. At the same time, the need for an organization that cuts across departmental divisional lines has grown in a fashion that provokes the growth of our whole school. It is obvious that numerous alumni functions involve the general body of alumni and the adminis- 32 tration, broad development, sponsorship of area clubs and special purpose groups, athletics, and social activities for alumni, fac ulty, students, and administration . Financial support, public relations, and wide community utilization of intellectual talents in our faculty makes an organization that encompasses all of the alumni. Thus the General Alumni Association with its General Alumni Board and its Execu tive Committee has developed and grown in importance year by year. Every departmental, divisional area, and special club is organized according to a few basic rules. They are automatically members of the Alumni Association. To help this General Alumni Association and all other alumni organizations, we have several University and Alumni offices and bodies whose major functions pertain to affairs of all the alumni. And so our basic membership of some 33,000 alumni and a few collected groups of veteran faculty, administration, and special friends, together with the various departmental associations and special clubs, constitute a great alumni body and one of tremendous potential for the future . We offer our support to your publication and the University divisions it represents, and in turn we solicit reciprocal support for a strong General Alumni Association. • THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVI EW �APFME The Physician s Voice 7 THE ANNUAL PARTICIPATING FuND for Medical Education has always served as the "voice" of the APFME physician. It speaks for him to the School of Medicine and to the University. In this period of great change in medicine, with emphasis on the improvement of patient care, area medical staffs have a very real concern about their future, and the University is anxious to explore with each of these hospitals ways in which their goals can be advanced without loss. The APFME was instrumental in getting the cooperatively-developed idea of the Medical School/ Community Hospital Luncheon Series underway. Invitations forwarded by the Medical School to the group's hospital membership list invited participation on a voluntary basis. It was stressed "the purpose of these discussions would be to provide communication between the Medical School and the hospitals on any matters of importance to either one that might involve the other." It further stated "the discussion would not be programed but the channels will be open for any suggestions." If a specific discussion revealed a problem that would necessitate additional consideration, " in such a case, Dean Surgenor would be most anxious to arrange to continue the discussions." The first of such luncheons, held on November 17th in the Dean's office, included representation from th e Kenmore and South Buffalo Mercy Hospitals. Because of their relations and mutual affiliation with Georgetown University, it was felt that a joint luncheon would prove most advantageous. Delegates from these hospitals included presidents of staff, Drs. John M. SPRING, 1967 Donohue, and John J. Banas. Also present were Dr. John M. Ambrusko, a driving force behind the luncheon series, and APFME president, Dr. John J. O 'Brien. Key personnel invited by the Dean whose Medical School areas might be involved in the discussion included Associate Dean Harry J. Alvis, Continuing Medical Education and Dr. John R. Paine, chairman of Surgery. Mutual problems covering shortages and training of manpower in allied health fields were explored. Also stressed were the advantages which accrue from the interaction between the medical student and the instructor at a community hospital, as well as the relationship between the intern/ resident and the attending physician. A wide-ranging discussion further revealed the reciprocal benefits derived from the Medical School/ Community Hospital relationship. The community hospital has something very "real" to offer the Medical School and, in turn, there are many ways in which the Medical School can aid in raising the level of medicine practiced in the community hospital. • Dean Surgenor hosts University Community Hospital medical staff luncheon �College Premedical Advisers Visit Campus ROOM begun several years ago, the Medical School hosted a group of premedical advisers representing twenty-three colleges. The purpose of the two-day meeting sponsored by the Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education and the Commission on Medical Manpower for Western New York was to familiarize the group with the School of Medicine to better equip them to advise students about the advantages of coming to Buffalo. The colleges and universities represented were: Amherst, Bowdoin, Brooklyn, Colby, Columbia, Hartwick, Hobart, Hofstra, Houghton, Kenyon, Manhattan, Queens, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, Tufts, Michigan, Notre Dame, Vassar, Wellesley, William Smith, and the SUNY colleges at Cortland and Fredonia. M r. Herbert S. Eisenstein, recently appoin ted as premedical adviser, represented the State University of New York at Buffalo. Each year admission applications are received from 1500 or more students at over 100 colleges and universities. With this diverse college background, and with the wide range of interests which premedical students pursue in college, the task of the Admissions Committee in selecting students is a difficult one. While college grades and Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores are important, the Admissions Committee relies heavily on the letter of recommendation from the college premedical adviser. When this adviser is well-informed about Buffalo, and particu larly when he is familiar with the progress of other students from his college at the Medical School, a much more meaningful relationship results. The two-day meeting began with a "give and take" session with the Admissions Committee, chaired by CoNTINUING A PROGRAM A counseling session (Continued on Page 45) 34 THE BUFFALO MEDICAL REVI EW �APFME Objectives THE ANNUAL PARTICIPATING FuND for Medical Education was organized in 1954 by a grou p of loyal alumni. Their expressed aim-to raise money from the medical alumni of the University to build up the basic science departments of the Buffalo Medical School. Their organization of other loyal alumni and practicing physicians resulted in contributions for improved medical education amounting to more than $800,000 since 1954. In 1959 APFME members contributed $97,106. Contributions over the past few years have continued at the level of $27,000 per year. The group's first efforts were concen trated on the recruiting and support of preclinical faculty . Prim arily through their effort, many outstanding instructors were attracted to th e Buffalo preclinical faculty. The Department of Biophysics was created through APFME fund s, and they were instrumental in bringing to Buffalo Dr. Fred M. Snell as its h ead . ( Continued on next page) Drs. Victor L.

He alth Affairs; C. J. YouNG, JR ., Ed.M.'60, Director of Alumni Affairs 35 SPR ING, 1967 ~--- - ~ ~~--- ----------~-~~-- ---- �APFME Objectives (continued) Added to their impressive list of accomplishments are continuing contributions to scholarship funds ($7,643 for 1966-67) and support for student summer preceptorships in general practice (14 recipients appended to the 1966 roster). APFME experimentation in the use of television for continuing medical education has resulted in the recognition of Buffalo as one of six national leaders in this field. Seed money donated by this group has attracted academic attention; the State University of New York has now assumed responsibility on a statewide basis for continuing medical education not only for the physician but for all health professions. To help alleviate the late arrival of scholarship monies for Buffalo medical students, a short-term loan fund has been established by APFME. "Basically," stated the current president John J. O 'Brien, "we hope to continue our successful projects, where necessary, initiate programs for the betterment of medicine through University and area physician participation, and continue to act as the liaison force between the two." Director of Medical Education at the Buffalo Mercy Hospital, Dr. O'Brien also heads its Department of Medicine. Among his other duties, he serves as clini- 36 cal associate at the Buffalo General Hospital, and on the Department of Medicine faculty at the Buffalo and Georgetown Medical Schools. A further channel to foster better communications between the medical profession and the University, and to encourage common growth of discourse among the membership at large was the creation of a public relations subcommittee. Chairman Max Cheplove, together with Donald Hall, Bertram Portin, and Marvin Bloom, will plan and execute the annual meeting as well as implement the family practice, preceptorships, open house, and continuing medical education programs. At the Annual Meeting held last fall, a new slate of officers was elected. Also on the agenda was a discussion of plans for study and implementation in strengthening the bridge with the University, and the improvement of medical education by imaginative support of education. " To insure a continued force for APFME," stated Dr. O'Brien, "we must make the student and more recent alumni aware o.f the existence and aims of APFME. In the past, students on APFME support scholarships have been guests at our meetings, and we hope to continue this policy." • THE BUFFA LO MEDICAL REVIEW �Dr. Irvine H. Page Addresses Convocation bigger than science. We shouldn' t look to science to unscramble our values-nor let it undermine our ideas of the purpose of life." That' s what a world-renowned cardiovascular scientist told 400 medical students at the annual convocation. The man speaking was Dr. Irvine H. Page, director of the Cleveland Clinic and past president of the American Heart Association. He is also editor-in-chief of Modern Medicin e. "Of course we should press every sector of science to dispel what uncertainty and mys tery we can," D r. Page said, "but we must remember that dependence on science can rob man of his religious underpinnings ." Nine academic awards were presented at the convocation: • The Annual Participating Fund for Medical Education Award, for outstanding achievement in the first year to Miss Madeline White. She also received the Wayne J. Atwell Anatomical Award for highest achievement in anatomy in the sophomore year. • Mr. Jonathan Reynhout received two awardsthe Wayne J. Atwell Anatomical Award for the highest achievement in anatomy in the first year, and the "LIFE IS A GOOD DEAL Roche Laboratories Award given for outstanding achievement during the first and second years of college. • The Farny R. Wurlitzer Award given for outstanding work in psychiatry during the junior year went to Miss Ellen Levine. • Mr. Sherman Souther won two awards-the Alumni Association Award for outstanding achievement in the third year, and the Children's Hospital Award fo r best demonstrated excellence in the ability to understand disease in childhood. • Mr. Lawrence Dobmeier won the Kornell L. Terplan Award for demonstration of the best knowledge of pathology in the sophomore year. This award was given by Dr. Terplan, professor emeritus of Pathology. • Mr. David L. Larson received the New York State Academy of General Practice Award for diligence in preparing and submitting an essay on the subject: " Role of the Family Physician in the Community." Dr. Page Inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha, National Medical Honorary Fraternity, were : Mr. Souther; Douglas Sirkin ; Donald E. Miller, and Albert Sullivan. • Future doctors are challenged by Dr. Page �A $96,000 Gift for Pharmacology Equipment A GIFT OF $96,000 from the James H. Cummings Foundation will be used by the University of Buffalo Foundation to purchase special equipment for the Department of Pharmacology in the Medical School. Dr. Douglas M. Surgenor, Medical School dean, said today that the gift is "the most significant private grant the Medical School has received since the university became part of the State University system." Dr. Cedric M. Smith is the new head of the Pharmacology department in the Schools of M edicine and D entistry. He came to Buffalo from the University of Illinois, where he was acting head of Pharmacology. H e succeeds Dr. DouglasS. Riggs, who resigned the chairmanship he had headed since 1954, to devote more time to teaching. He is on leave for two y ears. + The Cummings Foundation is a charitable, non-profit membership corporation set up under the will of the late James H. Cummings. Mr. Cummings, a manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, formerly operated laboratories and plants in Buffalo and Toronto, including the American Ferment Company in Buffalo. The latter was sold to Sterling Drug, Inc. Dr. Cedric M. Smith, newly-appointed chairman of the Department of Pharmacology, said that the Cummings grant is " a seed grant of great importance. With this we can do many things. This new program will broaden and strengthen the research and the research training in pharmacology." 38 The new equipment which it will purchase will be used for research and training in neuropharmacology-the study of the action of drugs on the brain, Dr. Smith' s major field of interest. " With this equipment," Dr. Smith said, " we can develop a variety of research programs, draw research funds from other sources, and attract persons from the U nited States and other countries to our training program." Charles H. Diefendorf is president of the Cummings Foundation. Other officers and directors are: Mr. Charles Cummings, vice president; Mr. Arthur E. Surdam, treasurer; Mr. W illiam E. Lytle, secretary; Mrs. James H. Cummings and Mr. Robert S. Scheu. Mr. F. Taylor Root is executive director of the Fou ndation. • Mr. F. Taylo r Root (le f t) congratulates D r. Cedric Smith.

This publication provides an opportunity for all of us to remain in closer contact with each other and with the university that provided us with our professional training, the preparation for our life's work. The Medical Alumni Association extends its best wishes and hopes for success. The Medical Alumni Association has always been in the vanguard of alumni affairs. This is only proper since the Medical School was the first college of that great institution which we now know as the State University of New York at Buffalo. It has provided the Western New York area with most of its practicing physicians; graduates of our school have gone on to achieve national success and recognition in every field of medicine. The Alumni Association itself was formally organized on February 22, 1915, University Day, when the Associated Alumni of all departments of the university were organized. Our Association serves as spokesman for approximately 3,000 living alumni of the Medical School. The officers and executive committee meet regularly each month to conduct the affairs of the Association. Much of the time is spent in planning for the annual Spring Clinical Days. These provide an opportunity for postgraduate medical education, bringing together outstanding authorities from everywhere in the United States. Moreover, the occasion provides an opportunity for renewing old fri,e ndships. A formal SPRING, 1967 From the desk of reunion meeting is held every five years for each graduating class. The major address of the Spring Clinical Days is the Stockton Kimball Memorial Address delivered by an outstanding figure in the field of medical education in the United States. This symbolizes our sincere interest in the progress of medical education at our Alma Mater. Frequently, we are asked to explain the purposes of our organization and the use of alumni dues. We are proud of our function in providing scholarships to medical students, particularly as it assists certain outstanding students to obtain a medical education which might otherwise be financially impossible. We hope and plan to extend our scholarship grants in the future. Also each year we present an award to the outstanding junior medical student. This award is presented at the annual Medical School Convocation in October. The president of the Medical Alumni Association also extends greetings to the senior class, just prior to graduation, on Class Day in June. This is an official welcome to the new alumni since every graduate automatically becomes a member of our association at that time. These activities of the Association symbolize our concern for and interest in the student body of the Medical School, as well as the Alumni group. Hopefully, this brief resume provides a summary of our activities and purposes. If past achievement is a signal of the future, we look forward happily to future contributions to the University, its Medical School, and the community in which we practice. We, of the Medical Alumni Association, stand ready as always to assist in every worthy endeavor to enhance the position of our School. • 39 Harold J.

Assistant Dean Philip Wels, '41, and ended with a look at the future of the new University Health Sciences Center sketched by Vice President for Health Affairs Peter F. Regan. In between, the advisers visited laboratories, classrooms, and hospital teaching sessions, saw a demonstration of new closed-circuit TV teaching techniques in dentistry, and discussed dental admissions with Assistant Dean Richard Powell, DDS '49. One of the highlights of the meeting was a scheduled private conference between individual advisers and students from their own college now in our medical school. The adviser from Columbia University, who met with 12 of his former students, commented afterwards: " It was my impression from the answers . . . that the students were quite pleased with the education received at Buffalo." The adviser was also impressed with the optimism expressed by students concerning the future of this school. Now that the Regional Medical Program for the Western New York area is actually underway-the Grant received, the Regional Advisory Group ready to function in its capacity, the initial planning project outlined and approved-the future is wide open for creativity and innovation based upon the needs of the area. Planning grants will enable us, as a region, to understand our resources, identify problems in the supply of manpower, and pinpoint areas in which further activity will be useful. The National Advisory Council has clearly stated that, following the establishment of a program center, a region may apply for operational grants. It is easy to see-there are no shortcuts in implementing a regional medical program to benefit an entire region. Much work, time, and thought must be devoted to each new project. Although the program concentrates on heart disease, cancer, stroke, and related diseases, these cover a broad spectrum of the major health problems. Always to be kept in mind is that this cooperative program leads toward a common goal-providing improved patient care. • SPRING, 1967 The largest delegation of medical students in each class continues to come from UB-14 students in the present freshman class of 100.
