    TUBERCULOSIS IN GREECE An Experiment in the Relief and Rehabilitation of a Country By J. B. McDOUGALL, C.B.E., M.D., F.R.C.P. (Ed.), F.R.S.E.; Late Consultant in Tuberculosis, Greece, UNRRA INTRODUCTION In Greece, we follow the traditions of truly great men in all branches of science, and in none more than in the science of medicine. Charles Singer has rightly said - "Without Herophilus, we should have had no Harvey, and the rise of physiology might have been delayed for centuries. Had Galen's works not survived, Vesalius would have never reconstructed anatomy, and surgery too might have stayed behind with her laggard sister, Medicine. The Hippo- cratic collection was the necessary and acknowledged basis for the work of the greatest of modern clinical observers, Sydenham, and the teaching of Hippocrates and his school is still the substantial basis of instruction in the wards of a modern hospital." When we consider the paucity of the raw material with which the Father of Medicine had to work-the absence of the precise scientific method, a population no larger than that of a small town in England, the opposition of religious doctrines and dogma which concerned themselves largely with the healing art, and a natural tendency to speculate on theory rather than to face the practical problems involved-it is indeed remarkable that we have been left a heritage in clinical medicine which has never been excelled. Nearly 2,000 years elapsed before any really vital advances were made on the fundamentals as laid down by the Hippocratic School.

  • Minoan Long-Distance Trade: a View from the Northern Aegean *
    MINOAN LONG-DISTANCE TRADE: A VIEW FROM THE NORTHERN AEGEAN * For SincIair Hood Minoan scholars have occupied themselves with Minoan foreign relations since Sir Arthur Evans wrote The Palace of Minos. The long-standing question of the importance of the external trade has received a variety of answers and has provided a rich coIlection of ideas from rnaximality to minimality I. The renewed interest in Minoan "colonies" and in the concept of a Minoan "thalassocracy" has revived the debate about the movement of peoples and trade goods in the Aegean as well as about trade-notions like the incentivejincentives, and the organisationalloperational structure. A small set of new data from the excavations of the 19th Ephoreia of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities at the tell-settlement site Miko Vouni 2 on the south-western shore of Sarnothrace, in the north- eastern Aegean, offers a new insight into the subject. During the excavation of a vertical sounding with an area of 28 m2 near the summit of the mound in order to establish the site's sequence, five Minoan clay mini documents were discovered, namely two roundels two noduli and a nodule, illustrating perhaps the best example of the pan-Aegean perspective required for the study of the prehistory of the Aegean islands 3. Apart from the unstratified nodulus (Pl. XXXIV), the remaining were contents of a layer of destruction 5 with a thickness of ca. 0.90 m in the deposits of the second, counting from the surface, * The following abbreviations are used in addition to the regular abbr. for periodicals: CHIC: 1.-P.

  • Dodona, Olympos, and Samothrace. a Narrative Op Personal Explorations
    A QUIET CORNER OF THE ALPS. 253 There are, besides, scarcely any sources of public instruction, and the only books found in the hands of the people are religious works. The official language is French, which is pretty familiar to the inhabitants of the valley, but the popular dialect is a patois differing con- siderably from the French. It is an Alpine patois, of which there are two varieties, both very different from the patois spoken on the plains and those spoken in the Jura. It is distinguished by the frequent use of liquid consonants, as also by the pronunciation of the letters s and z, which have the sound of th in the words teeth and leather respectively. The other peculiarity of pronunciation is the use of the sound w, as, for instance, in the word iwi, water, in which it is pronounced like w in weapon. A great many words of this patois are only corrupted from the French. Many more interesting particulars might be given of the people of the Vieze valley, their popular sayings and folklore, their numerous superstitions, their omens and auguries, their ancient usages in selling and buying, their simple municipal administration, and so on, but these have no very direct connection with geography. I shall now conclude with the wish that many British tourists who come yearly to Switzerland would cast a glance at the calm and beautiful valley that extends along the foot of the Dent du Midi.

  • Final Program & Abstract Book
    Dear colleagues, It’s a great pleasure to invite you to the 6th Congress on Neurobiology, Psychopharmacology and Treatment Guidance which will take place in Chalkidiki, Greece, on June 27-30, 2019. After the great success of the 5th Congress which was held in 2017, this sixth Congress again aims at being valuable for the clinicians who fight daily in the front line for the treatment of real-world patients. In this frame, our goal is to provide a global and comprehensive update of the newest developments in Psychiatry and the allied sciences in a manner, which will be both focused and enriched. The rule is to avoid content-free eloquence and authority and to face hard questions on the base of research findings. Many worldwide experts have been invited to share with us their knowledge and experience once again with the support and guidance of the European Psychiatric Association, the World Psychiatric Association and under the Auspices of the School of Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. During these difficult circumstances for the world economy, advanced education and training is the only way to the future. Teaching clinical usefulness and application of new knowledge and informed treatment with psychopharmacological agents in a truly multidisciplinary approach is the central axis of the meeting and although the congress will embrace high tech research concerning psychopathology, new treatment methods, genetics and molecular biology, it also aims on putting the emphasis on the human factor, both the therapist and the patient. Apart from the humanistic tradition of Psychiatry and life sciences, the continuous and unconditional investment on the high level training of professionals and education of patients and their families, emerged as a significant challenge during the last few decades.

  • Kiosk Wars/CD Review
    December 1, 2010 Hi John- Here are the CD reviews for the Januaary 2011 issue. I'll be by your office later today to give you the CD covers for scanning. Sending file as back up. Talk soon, Perri Kiosk Wars: The Big Guns Battle for Minimarket Shelf Space Perri Pagonis [email protected] The music industry has gone through such dramatic changes in the past twenty years, that it’s hard to keep track of what’s happening with the record companies at any given moment. Vinyl records, although widely accepted by audiophiles as the most satisfying way to hear recorded music, is for collectors and DJs only. CDs are still the storage medium being most widely manufactured and distributed, however, they are becoming more technologically passé on a daily basis. Downloading digital music off of the Internet in MP3 and other forms is the current youth rage, but kids seem to download scads of stuff on a whim, often times an artist’s entire oeuvre in one fell swoop, and then forget to listen to it. The MySpace phenomenon on the web has made any band’s music, I mean any band’s music, from Micronesian punk rock goofball stuff to selected arias from monumental Italian opera stars, available to download into your computer’s hard disk in seconds. As the age of global stadium stars has dwindled down to a mere handful of selected acts: Rolling Stones, Madonna, U2, AC/DC, Metallica etc, so too has the Greek music scene splintered into a few revered giants and hordes of mewling newbies.

    MORTALITY CHANGE IN HERMOUPOLIS, GREECE (1859-1940) Michail Raftakis Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in accordance with the requirements of the Newcastle University. School of History, Classics and Archaeology September 2019 Abstract This thesis examines mortality decline from 1859 to 1940 in the city of Hermoupolis, on the Greek island of Syros. A demographic approach is employed to understand the mechanisms of mortality decline at both local and national levels. This study produces important new insights into Greek and Mediterranean urban historical demography and is the first comprehensive study of urban mortality in Greece, utilizing the largest and one of the longest time-series yet calculated from civil registration and census data. Standard historical demographic methods were employed in this study along with the technique of nominal record linkage. A series of abridged life tables was constructed for the very first time for a Greek urban settlement, enabling the calculation of age- specific mortality rates and life expectancy. Cause-specific mortality analysis for the years 1916–1940 provided a deeper insight into the epidemiological profile of the city. Hermoupolis experienced much higher mortality levels than the national average. The findings presented here suggest that early childhood mortality started to decline rapidly as a result of mass immunisations from the late nineteenth century onwards, with declines in early adulthood and infancy following. This thesis has found that the second stage of Omran’s epidemiological transition theory was still ongoing in the 1930s, with high prevalence of infectious diseases, especially of tuberculosis among young adults and diarrhoeal diseases among infants and young children.

    An Exhibition by the Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki, 2011 Greek Jews in sport: The contribution of Thessaloniki The Contribution of the Jews of Thessaloniki to Sport: π A Neglected Area At the turn of the 20th century, mirroring similar developments in Athens, the first systematic sporting activities made their appearance in Thessaloniki: football, tennis, cycling, fencing, swimming, rowing, track and field athletics, croquet, gymnastics and boxing. Thessaloniki was a city with a long and impressive Jewish presence in all walks of life and sport was no exception. By 1939, Jews from Thessaloniki were helping to shape the sports scene and shone in individual and team disciplines: track and field, football, boxing, wrestling, swimming, sailing events, tennis, table tennis, fencing, cycling, volleyball, mountaineering and winter sports. In the story of sport we come across Jewish sportsmen and women who competed in the colours of the Maccabi Thessaloniki Club, founded in 1908, and of other successful Jewish Clubs, such as the Akoah Thessaloniki Club, founded in 1924, as well as non-Jewish clubs such as Iraklis, Aris, P.A.O.K., Aetos, Asteras, V.A.O., Makedonikos, Megas Alexandros, Orfeas Serron, Trikala, Preveza, Doxa Dramas, the Sporting Union of Komotini, Kavala Philippi, teams from the armed forces and the scouts. They also successfully represented Greek colours at international sporting events.
