1852 • MILESTONES • 1956

1852 The Jews' Hospital in New York is incorporated for "benevolent, charitable and scientific purposes." Sampson Simson is the first President.

1855 The new Hospital is opened on May 17th, in a four-story building with 45 beds, at 138 West 28th Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. The original Staff of ten men includes Dr. Valentine Mott and Dr. Willard

Parker. In accordance with the usage of the period, there is no separation

of Medical and Surgical Services, because surgery is not considered suffi- ciently important; nor are there any specialized services.

1856 In its first full year the Hospital cares for 225 patients. Operating expenses total $5,493.

1862 The Hospital opens its wards to wounded Federal soldiers of the Civil War, installing additional beds and increasing its personnel for the purpose.

1866 To make it clear that the Hospital serves the community without distinc- tion of race or religion, its name is changed to The Mount Sinai Hospital.

1868 The Ladies' Auxiliary Society is formed to assist in the work of the Hospital.

1 1872 The Hospital is moved into a new 3 /2 -story building with a capacity of 120 beds, on Lexington Avenue from 66th to 67th Streets.

7 HISTORICAL NOTE

1873 The Outdoor Dispensary (Out-Patient Department) is formally established, with four divisions: Medical, Surgical, Gynecological, and Children's.

1877 Reflecting the advances in surgery and increase in surgical practice, the Hospital establishes separate in-patient Medical and Surgical Services.

1877 An in-patient Gynecological Department is established, headed by Dr. Emil Noeggerath, pioneer in the study of gonorrhea.

1878 Creating a precedent among New York hospitals, a separate service for in-patient care of children is established, through a legacy from Michael Reese of California. Dr. Abraham Jacobi heads this department.

1883 The Hospital building is enlarged to a capacity of 190 beds, and an isola- tion building is added. Space for private patients is increased, indicating the emergence of the modern hospital as a medical center for all instead of an institution for the poor only.

1883 Dr. Edward Gamaliel Janeway, one of the great diagnosticians of his time, is appointed to the Staff.

1886 The Hospital grants its diploma to Dr. Josephine Walter, first woman in America to serve a formal internship.

1886 To relieve overcrowding of the Hospital and to care for patients who can

be treated at home, a District Medical Service is organized, first of its kind in the city.

1890 The Out-Patient Department is greatly expanded, housed in a new build- ing. Neurological, skin, and venereal disease clinics are established.

1893 The Laboratory is established, housed in a cloak room "not much larger than a bird's cage."

1895 The Genitourinary Service is established, with Dr. William F. Fluhrer as its first chief.

S HISTORICAL NOTE

l 5 THE REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

IT seems appropriate to commence this report by making proper acknowledg- ment to my predecessor, Alfred L. Rose, for his eight years of devoted service as President of the Hospital. He gave unselfishly of himself to carry on a great tradition and we, his fellow Trustees, take this opportunity of recording our deep appreciation.

Fiscal Summary for 1956

The annual report of an industrial corporation devotes itself to reviewing its activities in relation to the dollar results achieved. It would, indeed, be depressing to think of Mount Sinai's efforts in similar terms. Still, we know that, unless the necessary funds are available, the Hospital's future will be endangered. That is why, at the beginning of this report, I present the fiscal summary for 1956, with emphasis on the need for funds. Only with adequate financial support can Mount Sinai continue to maintain its place among America's great hospitals. The operating cost for the year (excluding earmarked funds for teaching and research) was $10,302,127. Income from patients for services rendered came to $7,831,810. This left a total philanthropic expense of $2,470,317. Even after applying the generous grants from the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies, United Hospital Fund, the Greater New York Fund, the city and other sources, as well as income from general endowment funds, a deficit of $247,205 remained.

Urgent Building Projects

The 1955 report stressed that a minimum of $900,000 was needed to rehabili- tate sections of the Hospital built more than fifty years ago. This is occasioned, in addition to obsolescence, by scientific advances and our growing patient census. Among the most urgent projects cited were the construction of a new Radio- therapy Center, the modernization of the third and fourth floors of the Pediatric Pavilion, and the renovation and expansion of Emergency Service-Ward Reception. Trustees and friends had previously contributed $450,000 for those pur- poses. We are hopeful of receiving additional support. We have decided in the meantime, however, to carry out those projects even though it will entail invading the Hospital's limited capital funds. Plans for the Radiotherapy Center include two Cobalt units and a betatron. The latter is the most powerful apparatus now in clinical use. Limitation of funds has influenced us to postpone the installation of the betatron until the $100,000 it costs can be raised. We have announced in previous reports plans to build a Psychiatry Pavilion that would fill a real community need and expand the exceptional, though small, psychiatric facility established in the Hospital twelve years ago. I can now report that architects are working on plans for the building. It will occupy a site long held by the Hospital on the west side of Madison Avenue between

99th and 1 ooth Streets. Two-thirds of the estimated cost is in hand. We are

16 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

hopeful that government assistance will provide a substantial portion of the balance.

Funds for the Present and Future

I have referred to the necessity of drawing upon capital reserves to effect immediate renovations. Those reserves amount to under $2,000,000, a perilously inadequate figure for a hospital with a $28,000,000 plant, an annual budget ap- proaching $11,000,000 and recurring deficits even under the most favorable economic conditions.

The cold statistics alone would admonish us to stand still. But that would not be in the Mount Sinai tradition. For we have been in the past, and hope to continue to find ourselves in the future, among the top-ranking medical insti- tutions. To accomplish this, we must continue to attract outstanding physicians and scientists, and give them the tools that will enable them to work effectively. Mount Sinai has been fortunate over the years in having had so many loyal and generous friends. The Hospital buildings, extending over three city blocks, evidence this. We have, and are grateful for, a number of endowment funds designated for specific, important purposes. But the Hospital's critical need remains unrestricted legacies and donations with which to rebuild the capital reserves to a level commensurate with the Hospital's size, stature and purpose. I am confident that, as the Trustees increasingly focus their efforts on conveying this underlying problem to philanthropic individuals and foundations, the neces- sary funds will be forthcoming.

Gifts and Legacies

It is with great satisfaction and sincere thanks that I make acknowledgment of some of the outstanding gifts that we have received from new friends and from previous benefactors—gifts that will help to meet some of our most pressing needs. The fact that I mention but a few does not mean that we are not deeply grateful to the many who have befriended us during the year and whose con- tributions are listed elsewhere in this report.

Among these outstanding gifts is a pledge of $1,000,000 from the William J. Wollman Foundation, $250,000 from the Walter Brooks Foundation and $250,000 from the New York Foundation, all toward the erection of a new Psychiatry Pavilion. A grant of $250,000 from the Ford Foundation was employed to install a central air-conditioning plant. Mrs. Murry Guggenheim and the Murry and Leonie Guggenheim Foundation, who have done so much for our School of Nursing in the past, contributed a total of $373,000 to meet the expense of modernizing our fourteen-story Nurses Residence. The Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation, established by a family whose benefactions have been an integral part of the Hospital's history and growth, pledged $200,000 toward the renovation of our Outpatient Building. We received $50,000 from the Henrietta and Stuard Hirschman Foundation to be applied to the rebuilding of a ward in the Pediatric Pavilion. The James Foundation gave us $25,000 to complete a gift of $75,000 for the building of our new Radiotherapy Center.

At this point it seems appropriate to mention that our proposed Psychiatry REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

Building, along with the modernization of the Pediatric Pavilion and the re- building of the Radiotherapy Center, has been made possible in substantial part by the generosity of our Trustees. I feel that they would prefer not to have

their names or the size of their benefactions included in this recital. It is heart-

warming to know that many of our Trustees deem it a privilege as well as a duty to give not only of their time but of their substance to the Hospital. The Hospital each year is the beneficiary under numerous wills. Although usually in small amounts, the aggregate provides a substantial offset to our deficits. This year we received two legacies from beneficiaries previously unknown to us. Fortunately, Mount Sinai and its work were known to them. Garfield Arthur Nathan bequeathed to the Hospital $234,000 as an unrestricted legacy. Frederick C. Goldsmith and his wife, Julia W. Goldsmith, left $169,000 for our general research fund. From a family that had already given so substantially to the Hospital, we received a legacy of $164,000 from Mathilde Steinam and one of $44,000 from Stella Housman. Again, my warmest thanks to all who have so generously helped us during the year.

Service and Science

This report on fiscal problems is meaningful only in terms of service ex- tended to the sick, of educational opportunities afforded promising young phy- sicians, and an extensive research program that establishes a proper scientific environment for our total endeavor. More than 135,000 people were treated in Mount Sinai last year; 30,000 inpatients, including 4,900 newborn infants, received 332,000 days-care. Over 21,000 came to the Outpatient Department for over 200,000 visits. Emergency Service aided 85,000 men, women and children. Such specialized facilities as the Jack Martin Respirator Center and the Consultation Service helped many more. Caring for so many patients satisfies a great community need; caring for them well, as we believe we have, is the real source of satisfaction in our work. The fact that the Hospital has one of the largest voluntary ward services in the city enabled our attending staff to carry on an intensive teaching program for 200 young physicians—45 interns, 95 assistant residents, 20 residents and 40 fellows. To overestimate the importance of this teaching function would be diffi- cult. From among the promising young men we are training today will come the outstanding doctors of tomorrow. Third- and fourth-year students at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, come to Mount Sinai for training in pediatrics and ob- stetrics. Postgraduate courses, given in association with Columbia University, attract enrollees from near and far. Still other physicians are aided through a year-long program of lectures, clinical-pathological conferences and other scientific sessions. Specialized courses the Hospital was called upon to offer attest to the quality and scope of our medical education. The Hospital had the signal honor of being invited to give for a third time a week-long course sponsored by the American College of Physicians on current trends in the diagnosis and treatment

of heart disease. A month-long course on the clinical use of radioactive isotopes, sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commission, was held in our Andre Meyer Department of Physics. A scientific environment helps develop the best doctors and, in turn, results in the best care of patients. That is why we carry on so extensive a research program the cost of which for the year exceeded $1,000,000. Those funds were not, for the most part, a direct charge against our operations. The money came from income on endowments earmarked for research and from individuals, firms, foundations and government agencies devoted to furthering medical investigation. There were well over 100 research projects. I shall not refer to them further as they are dealt with at length in the clinical and laboratory sections of the report. It would seem appropriate in referring to patient care, teaching and re- search to announce two appointments of outstanding men who, we are confident, will make great contributions in their respective fields. Dr. Hans Popper was named director of the Department of Pathology. Internationally known for his research and as an authority on diseases of the liver, he had been director of the Department of Pathology, Cook County Hospital, Chicago; scientific director of the Hektoen Institute for Medical Research; and professor of pathology at . Dr. Ivan D. Baronofsky, a surgeon with an excep- tional record of achievement, was appointed director of the Department of Surgery. He was chief of thoracic surgery at the San Diego Naval Hospital on leave from the University of Minnesota, where he had served as associate professor of surgery, staff surgeon at University Hospital and director of postgraduate surgery education at Ancker Hospital.

I know that our clinical and scientific services will also be benefited by the promotions it is my pleasure to announce immediately following the text of this report.

City Aid and Hospital Deficits

The Hospital gratefully receives considerable assistance from the City of New York in the form of payment of so-called city cases in the wards. Yet, in acknowledging this aid, it must also be remarked that this year's operational deficit, and those of past years, are directly attributable to the disparity between the rate per patient-day that the city allows and the actual cost for that patient-day to the Hospital. The city pays $16; the cost is over $25. Multiply the difference by the more than 70,000 such patient-days provided by the Hospital every year and you will find the basis of Mount Sinai's financial difficulty and that of many other voluntary hospitals. In addition, there are over 200,000 visits a year to our Outpatient Depart- ment. The cost per visit, as estimated by the United Hospital Fund Formula,

was $7.07. We received from patients an average of $1.03 per visit. It is our policy to treat all who come to us for help, regardless of ability to pay. For outpatient service, the city contributes nothing. We realize the tremendous budget the city must meet. But we are nevertheless convinced that hospital trustees should join with all others interested in the community's health services

19 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

in encouraging the city administration to take a more realistic view of the needs of voluntary hospitals.

Senior Service Awards

On December 5, the Hospital held its first Annual Service Award Dinner, at which 256 employees and staff members were awarded citations for long and meritorious service. I would like to mention all by name and thank them sincerely for their years of devotion to the Hospital. For lack of space, I list only a few with the longest record of service. They are George T. Cook, Andrew Givjack, Betty Janover, Rose Kadin, Ann Levinsohn, Julius Morgenstern, Molly Nadelman, Edith Ryan, Jeanne Segall, Lenora Sterling and Bella Trachtenberg.

Announcements

The Hospital accepted with regret the resignation of William D. Scholle as a Trustee. We feel indebted to him for his years of service. I take pleasure in reporting the election of Milton Steinbach to our Board and I am confident that he will make a valuable contribution to the work of the Hospital.

It is with genuine sorrow that I report the death on July 3, 1956 of Dr.

Leonard J. Druckerman, Associate Attending Surgeon. He served the Hospital faithfully and well for many years.

Acknowledgments

The Board of Trustees is sincerely grateful to the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies for its very substantial financial assistance and for its sympathetic understanding of our needs. We also acknowledge with deep appreciation the material help given by the United Hospital Fund, the Greater New York Fund and those many individuals, foundations and agencies that have contributed so generously. My warmest thanks to Dr. Martin R. Steinberg, the Hospital director, and his associate, assistants and department heads; and to Dr. M. Ralph Kaufman, president of the Medical Board, and the medical and other professional staffs. I express my gratitude also to the Board of Directors of the School of Nursing, the Women's Auxiliary Board, the officers, directors and staff of the Neustadter Convalescent Center, the many volunteers who served so faithfully, and every worker who helped to make the Hospital a warm, humane, proficient instrument of service to the community.

I sincerely trust that all who are devoting themselves to Mount Sinai feel the deep satisfaction that comes from serving so worthy a cause.

Joseph Klingenstein, President

22 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

ANESTHESIOLOGY THE Anesthesiology Service established a splendid record for patient safety in the operating room. The resident training program maintained a high aca- demic level with a program including lectures, seminars, a journal club, case and post-mortem studies. Other Hospital departments contributed generously to the lecture needs of the program. Basic sciences received increasing attention. Among the many additions to the service's equipment was a Jefferson Ventilator for auto- matically controlled respiration, an important technique in pulmonary and cardiac surgery. Expansion of the service's library continued. Clinical investigations dealt with the evaluation of promethazine as a pre- medicant drug in surgery and obstetrics, as an anti-emetic agent and as a synergist to narcotics and anesthetic drugs. Fundamental laboratory studies were begun in the problems of placental transmission of promethazine, the blood levels of promethazine following intravenous administration and the effect of the blood- brain barrier on cerebro-spinal fluid levels of promethazine. Other clinical studies pursued the problems of anesthetic results in Caesarian section, the use of d-tubocurarine for the control of faradic stimulation in transurethral resections, the anesthetic management of patients with respiratory paralysis and the importance of coronary occlusion in anesthetic management and results. Papers for publication included studies in the use of d-tubocurare for the control of faradic stimulation during transurethral resections, prolonged apnea following succinylcholine, nalorphine, anesthesia in Caesarian sections, lucaine and anesthesia in post-coronary patients. The service was again represented on the annual program of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. The service was privileged to present a scientific exhibit on promethazine at the Postgraduate Assembly of the New York State Society of Anesthesiologists.

DENTAL AND ORAL SURGERY EMPHASIS was on consolidation of surgical functions into an integrated unit of service and training. The title of Dental and Oral Surgeon was conferred by the Board of Trustees on staff members qualified in oral surgery. Broader indoctrination in the principles of applied pathology was developed through seminars in histopathology for the house staff, assignment of the attending staff to the laboratory, and participation by the oral pathologist in grand rounds,

Clinical Teaching A wider range of clinical teaching material was made available by using the basic science concepts involved in problems of diagnosis and treatment. This included correlation of sialogram patterns with examples of normal and diseased salivary glands; identification of cranial, sympathetic, and mixed nerve pathways

23 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

in facial pain associated with malfunctions of the temporomandibulbar joint; com- binations of needle exploration with x-rays and sectional anatomic tracings to locate foreign bodies in the maxillary sinus; and bio-kinetics governing different approaches in reducing fractures of the jaws. Several new sliding flap operations were designed to aid in the retention of artificial dentures, and more accurate methods were devised to restore occlusal function in surgical correction of prognathism. Prosthetic appliances were made on the head and neck service for a number of patients, affording prompt post-operative restoration of missing structures, reduction of morbidity, and improvement of function. In cooperation with the Department of Hematology, dental research assistants operated successfully on 14 hemophiliac patients.

The Cleft Palate Center The case load of the Cleft Palate Center reached a new peak, with significant increases in speech training and orthodontics. A full-time speech therapist was added to the group. Research dealt with comparative clinical and laboratory grading of the effectiveness of various antibiotics in treating infections of the jaws; further evaluation of tranquilizers in modifying pre-operative anxiety and reducing the threshold to dental pain; and a preliminary study of the incidence of serum hepa- titis following dental operations. Papers were presented and published on growth and development of chil- dren exposed to fluoridated drinking water; differential diagnosis of lesions on the tongue; standardized techniques of cleft palate surgery; and the role of the dental service in the modern hospital. DERMATOLOGY ANEW technique called dermabrasion was introduced for the removal of some types of scarring associated with severe acne. This will benefit our patients and afford residents and staff members an opportunity to become acquainted with a new approach to the problem. The chief of the service was invited to write a section on the physiology of the skin for a new encyclopedia. Staff members participated in the teaching program of the American Academy of Dermatology in Chicago. A study was begun on changes in the physiology of the skin brought about by causes ranging from exposure to certain pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. New instruments were devised for measuring such physiologic changes. MEDICINE THE Department of Medicine was responsible for patient care on the four medical wards (148 beds) and the training of 33 interns during their four- month stay on the medical wards, and of 17 assistant residents, six residents (four in medicine, two in gastroenterology) and 15 to 20 fellows. The department operated 18 Outpatient Clinics and the Consultation Serv- ice, and was responsible for medical supervision of the Neustadter Convalescent

2 4 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

Center and for Ward Reception. It was further charged with the direction of four board sub-specialties (allergy, cardiology, gastroenterology, thoracic diseases); supervision of assistant residents in medicine assigned to the care of private and semi-private patients; medical instruction in the School of Nursing and other auxiliary services; and the conduct of postgraduate courses in medicine. Members of the department engaged in a diversified research program.

Ward and Clinic Care

The medical wards admitted 1,802 patients, exclusive of semi-private inclusive rate (SPIR) admissions, for an average stay of 22 days and a total of 41,711 days-care; the mean ward occupancy rate was 80 per cent. In the medical clinics, 4,666 new patients were seen, with 49,187 revisits, making a total of 53,853 patient visits for the year. In the Consultation Service, 1,696 new patients were examined. To care for so many patients, while fulfilling our teaching and research obligations, required the services of more than 200 physicians. This complex organization worked smoothly and productively to provide conscientious medical care, effective training of physicians at all levels, and significant research. An important factor in this achievement was the policy of assigning duties to mem- bers of the attending staff, and their conscientious discharge of these responsi- bilities. Perhaps the most far-reaching organizational changes were made in cardiology and gastroenterology. New chiefs enlarged the scope of their respective programs for teaching, research and patient care, and effected closer liaison with the ward activities. Another important development was the reorganization and improve- ment of several clinics, notably the Arthritis Clinic and the Allergy Clinic. Con- tinued efforts were made to improve the efficiency of the outpatient service by offering special courses, and making assignments to join attending physicians in making rounds on the medical wards. The outpatient staff of the medical clinics is receiving a steady influx of younger physicians, most of them trained at

Mount Sinai Hospital. This is a reflection of the gratifyingly large number of medical house staff members who, in recent years, have elected to continue their association with the Hospital.

Medical Education

House staff training emphasized bedside instruction in diagnosis and manage- ment, with active participation in daily ward rounds with the attending staff and in weekly grand rounds, clinical-pathological conferences and many other formal and informal teaching exercises. Teaching ward rounds were made twice weekly by the director of the Department of Medicine, who in addition met once a week with the interns as a group and once every second week with all the assistant residents. The interns in rotation made formal presentations of medical topics of their choice. A thesis or case report was required of each assistant resident. That the department's training program continued to be in great demand was indicated by the large number of requests for appointment to the residency and fellowship staffs: 147 applications for residency training and 30 for fellowships.

^5 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

Interns in medicine spent two months on a male ward and two on a female ward. Assistant residents divided six months on the male and female wards, then spent three months in hematology, chest diseases, neurology or reception, and the remaining three months with private and semi-private patients, with organized instruction provided by conferences supervised by two Associate At- tending Physicians. Medical residents worked in teams of two, interchanging responsibilities on a male and female ward through the year. Fellowships in medicine, equivalent to the third year of residency training, provided three months of training in each of three successive medical specialties of choice, then three months with private and semi-private patients. Fellowships in medical subdivisions are for a full year. Research fellowships in medicine were in part supported by Hospital, Federal and foundation funds. Most recipients were house staff graduates needing aid in undertaking full- or part-time research while starting their practice. Most of them were invited to participate in ward rounds. The postgraduate teaching program was revised to meet current needs. Par- ticularly well attended were a one-week symposium on cardiovascular disease sponsored by the American College of Physicians, and a series of lectures for local practitioners, sponsored by the New York Academy for General Practice. The teaching activities of the members of the department were not confined to our Hospital alone but, by invitation or appointment, included service as lec- turers and consultants in other hospitals, medical schools and medical societies. Staff members held a number of offices and important committee memberships in local and national societies. The department was also represented in the respon- sible post of chairman of a U. S. Public Health Service study section. There was, further, creditable representation on the programs of local, state and national medical society meetings and annual conventions, including several prizes for scientific exhibits. The second editions of standard texts on cardiology and endocrinology by department members appeared in 1956; another member served as associate editor of a standard text on internal medicine. The department was well represented on the editorial boards of various medical journals, including service as editors- in-chief of The Journal of the Mount Sinai Hospital, The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, and The American Journal of Medicine. In the year, 112 papers by staff members appeared in scientific journals, and an additional 103 manuscripts were approved for publication by the director of the department. Only a summary of research activities is possible here.

Summary of Research

A simplified test for rheumatoid arthritis, the latex fixation test, developed here during the year, has already won wide acceptance and is being adapted to a variety of other serological reactions. A promising acid phosphatase test for Gaucher's disease was discovered. The significance of C-reactive protein in myocardial infarction, rheumatic fever and other inflammatory states was defined. The occurrence of hypercalcemia in Hodgkin's disease and of adenocarcinoma in regional jejunitis was reported and the systemic manifestations of hypernephroma

26 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

reviewed. Comprehensive accounts of chlorpromazine jaundice and gastrointes- tinal amyloidosis were published, as were authoritative reports on exocrine pan- creatic, including electrolyte, secretion. The effect of steroid hormones on gastric secretion and hemorrhage was explored. Studies on non-tropical sprue, pseudo- membranous enterocolitis and portal hypertension were recorded. Further ex- perience with the use of simplified serum protein fractionation techniques in the differential diagnosis of jaundice was reported. Clinical observations on the use of the important new drug, Orinase, in

diabetes were continued. The excretion of vitamin Bi 2 in patients with diabetic

retinopathy was studied and the storage of vitamin B I2 in the liver proposed as a liver function test. Spinal fluid protein abnormalities in diabetic neuropathy were investigated. The Myasthenia Gravis Group continued to be productive, testing the therapeutic effectiveness of new anticholinergic drugs as they became available, and completing a comprehensive study of the neonatal and juvenile forms of the disease. Research on the relationship of serum lipids to atherosclerosis was extended, particularly in respect to inheritance patterns. Genetic factors were shown to be the basic determinants of serum cholesterol variations within the normal range, as well as in hypercholesterolemic states. Using starch and paper electrophoresis, in addition to chemical methods, correlative studies on serum lipoproteins and glycoproteins were made in idiopathic hyperlipemia and hypercholesterolemia, in pregnancy, in normal man at different age periods, and in a variety of common laboratory animals. The effect of saturated and unsaturated fat ingestion on serum lipoprotein patterns, a field of great current interest, was investigated. The role of adrenal steroids and estrogens in the regulation of serum lipid levels was further studied. The effectiveness of low dosages of estrogens in the lowering of serum cholesterol levels, with presumptive prevention of atherosclerosis, was in- vestigated in a large series of patients. A paper demonstrating a relationship between plasma lipids and coagulation of the blood was published. Research in the field of endocrinology dealt with the determination of sex by detection of cellular sex chromatin, most recently in patients with testicular disorders. A study was made of corticosteroid excretion after corticotrophin ad- ministration in tumorous and non-tumorous Cushing's syndrome, and in related conditions. The metabolic and therapeutic response of patients with muscle dystrophies to adrenal and gonadal hormones was described. An interesting report on the histogenesis of myxedema was made. There were 26 studies in cardiology during the year. Of those dealing with spatial vectocardiography, some were concerned with basic analysis of gradients, including an ingenious new method of surface projection, others with correlation with electrocardiographic registration in patients with interatrial septal defect, mitral disease and right ventricular hypertrophy. Cardiac catheterization tech- niques were employed to make hemodynamic studies in intact dogs and in dogs with experimentally produced aortic and/or mitral lesions, and with complete heart block. Simultaneous pressure studies were made in patients with a variety of valvular lesions, notably pulmonary stenosis and isolated tricuspid stenosis before and after commissurotomy; such studies will now be facilitated by the

27 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

acquisition of a specially designed eight-channel recorder. The usefulness of the ballistocardiogram in the diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta was appraised. The two-step test for the detection of coronary artery disease was further evaluated. Clinical studies appeared on acute coronary insufficiency, paradoxical tachycardia in digitalis intoxication, chest pain with isolated pulmonic stenosis, electrocardio- graphic findings in allergic shock, anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, acute nonspecific pericarditis, and a variety of other topics of interest. Noteworthy was the first large accumulation of data on the range of blood pressure in the apparently healthy older population, aged 65 to 106 years. A systematic study was made of the efficacy of anti-hypertensive drugs, using as criteria the effects on digital circulation as well as the conventional arterial pres- sure measurements. The nature of hypertension in pregnancy was investigated. The work in the pulmonary function laboratory continued to attract atten- tion, particularly in relation to studies on the work of breathing. These have been extended to include the effects of pregnancy, in addition to procurement of extensive hemodynamic data on normal women in progressive stages of pregnancy, and in pregnant women with complicating rheumatic heart disease. A report was made on the role of alveolar-capillary block in the pulmonary disability of asbes- tosis. A series of papers on tuberculosis prepared in connection with a symposium on the subject appeared in The Journal of the Mount Sinai Hospital; the series dealt particularly with the chemotherapy of pulmonary and lymph gland tuber- culosis, pulmonary function in tuberculosis, gastrointestinal tuberculosis, and the special problems of relapse under chemotherapy and tuberculosis in relation to diabetes and to pregnancy. There were additional papers on broncholithiasis, bronchitis, bilateral pleural effusion in patients with a heart of normal size, and the diagnostic significance of the pulmonary vascular pattern. A new disposable unit was designed for use as an "artificial kidney"; labora- tory tests indicate that this apparatus provides the most efficient means of dialysis yet devised. The role of adrenal steroids on renal function and electrolyte excre- tion was studied. Renal tubular transport mechanisms for PAH were investi- gated, particularly in relation to their suppression by d,l-methionine. The role of antidiuretic hormones in the regulation of water metabolism was re-examined. The recent discovery that calcium infusions produce vigorous sodium and water diuresis was further explored. The important problem of prevention of marked hyponatremia in congestive heart failure was investigated. Research into the history of medicine was not neglected. An extensive review of the development of medical education in this country was prepared. Interesting papers on the history of lupus erythematosus, yellow fever and malaria appeared. A convincing study of the value of rectal biopsy in the diagnosis and treatment of schistosoma mansoni infections was published. Work on purine metabolism and gouty arthritis continued to be productive. Isotope studies established valid metabolic differences in the pathogenesis of primary and secondary gout, and double-labeling isotope studies give promise of throwing more light on distinctive pathways of excessive uric acid formation in gouty subjects. Seven new purines have been reported in human urine; four of the five identified had not previously been recovered from any natural source.

2S THE CLINICAL SERVICES

One of these, 8-hydroxy-7-methylguanine, is excreted in excessive amounts in acute gouty attacks; a possible causal relationship is being explored. Two new purine components of yeast nucleic acid have been discovered. A new phenylbuta- zone analog has been found to be the most potent uricosuric agent yet described; experience to date indicates that it may be a useful adjunct in the prevention and treatment of chronic gouty arthritis. NEUROLOGY THE number of patients admitted with neurologic disorders increased to such an extent that beds had to be borrowed from other services. There was a corresponding rise in the number of procedures, such as arteriograms, myelograms and pneumoencephalograms. Clinical material was more varied and interesting. Many problems encountered on the wards stimulated clinical investigation which in turn was projected into animal experiments in the laboratory.

The Staff and Research

The attending staff published 32 articles and presented papers at many neurologic, physiologic and psychologic society meetings. Much time was also devoted to teaching neurology to medical students and special graduate and postgraduate courses were given. Dr. Hans Strauss, promoted to the rank of Attending Neurologist, was elected president of the Eastern Association of Electroencephalography. Other staff men were elected to important neurologic societies, including the American Neurological Association. Research activities increased. A new electromyography laboratory was opened exclusively for research. We hope to adapt it to clinical diagnostic pur- poses. As electromyography is still on a research basis, the equipment, personnel and maintenance have been largely supported by the Hospital's Neurologic Re- search Fund. In the new electrooculography laboratory, studies were conducted on the electrical recording of eye movements in patients by means of corneo-retinal potential techniques. These techniques help the physician to localize disease of the brain. They also serve as a new avenue for investigation. These studies, too, were supported by our Neurologic Research Fund. The neurophysiology and sensory and behavioral studies laboratories also operated at capacity. Much new equipment was obtained. U. S. Public Health Service grants were renewed for studies on effects of cerebral lesions upon visual perception in man and on the oculomotor pathways in the brain stem of monkeys. A new grant was obtained for work on the physiologic basis of repetitive eye movements. The budget for neurology research exceeded $50,000.

The Teaching Program

With the aid of a U. S. Public Health Service training grant, the house staff was increased. Courses in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology were given twice a week for a total of 24 lectures. The audience included many physicians and research workers from various Hospital departments. The annual Israel S. Wechsler Lecture was given by Dr. Horace W. Magoun, professor of anatomy at the U.C.L.A. School of Medicine. The demand for THE CLINICAL SERVICES

resident training is so great that available positions have been filled through i960. The program has inspired medical students from many colleges to work as ward clerks during their elective periods.

NEUROSURGERY

THE Service embarked on a policy of emphasizing the importance of basic research in the development of the specialty of Neurological Surgery. At the same time, the clinical aspects were kept in sharp focus, and improved methods of diagnosis and surgical treatment were introduced. Specifically, hypothermia, as an adjunct in carrying out difficult cranial operations, was initiated. Also, in the surgical treatment of convulsive disorders, direct recording of brain waves in the operating room was instituted. The residency program was approved by the American Medical Association for three years of training. The residents were encouraged to participate in clinical and laboratory research. Basic research projects dealt with the effects of various substances on the blood brain barrier, experimental epilepsy, studies of the visual system, and a new technique for making lesions of individual cortical layers without affecting the adjacent cortical layers. Clinical studies were made on myelography, intracranial aneurysms, brain tumors in infancy and childhood, and vascular malformations of the spinal cord. In addition to the service's monthly conferences, there were combined weekly conferences with the Departments of Roentgenology and Neurology. The latter continued to attract a large audience from other institutions, as well as from the Hospital. Staff members prepared publications on head injuries in workmen's com- pensation cases, the effect of steroid hormones on cerebral edema, thalamic control of certain normal and abnormal cortical rhythms, spontaneous occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, multiple response and excitability of cats' visual cortex,

j and neurologic aspects of the painful shoulder. A Neurosurgical Research Fund was established.

OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY IN 1956, 4,771 mothers gave birth to 4,829 infants, including 58 twin deliveries. This is approximately 200 babies more than last year. Since its opening in November 1952, approximately 17,000 women have given birth in the obstetrical division, with only four maternal fatalities, a ratio of less than one in 4,000 births. This year 65.8 per cent of the deliveries were on the private or semi-private services, and 34.2 per cent on the clinic service.

Clinical Services

The perinatal mortality (all fetal and neonatal deaths of fetuses weighing over 400 gm. or 14 oz.) was 31.6 per 1,000 births. Eliminating the very small infants (those less than 1,000 gms. or 2 lbs., 3 ozs.) who were either born dead or died, the corrected perinatal loss was 24.6.

30 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

There were 297 cesarean sections, an incidence of 6.2 per cent. More than half of the operations were repeat cesarean sections, the previous delivery having been by this means, the remainder were primary procedures (3.5 vs. 2.7 per cent). Almost all of the 1,617 mothers who delivered on the ward service attended the prenatal clinic, most of them paying ten or more visits. The obstetrical de- partment has several special consultative clinics for the patients with pregnancy complications, including diabetic, cardiac, pulmonary, toxemia (high blood pres- sure), varicose vein and hematological clinics. This unique and advantageous type of clinic organization was the subject of an address before the German Gynecological Congress in Heidelberg last September. On the Gynecological Service, there were 752 ward admissions, 592 for surgery. More than 95 per cent of the operations were performed by the resi- dent staff, assisted by attendings. Among the operations performed were 63 abdominal and 15 vaginal panhysterectomies, seven supra-vaginal hysterectomies, 92 vaginal plastics and a number of myomectomies, tubal plastics and corrective operations on the cervix.

Teaching and Research

The residencies in obstetrics and gynecology continued to be much sought after. Of the 19 residents, 15 were graduates of American medical schools. The others were from Japan, the Dutch East Indies, Peru, and Switzerland. All fourth-year students from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, rotated through obstetrics at Mount Sinai in small groups. Several creditable papers and books were published on a variety of subjects, during 1956, including lower uterine segment muscular activity in normal labor, fetal electrocardiography—methods and findings, hyperlipemia during pregnancy, active management of pulmonary tuberculosis during pregnancy, and male and female trichomoniasis. OPHTHALMOLOGY THE service engaged in research on uveitis, retinitis pigmentosa and the effect of various chemicals on the healing properties of corneal wounds. Weekly clinical sessions were started on kerato-plasty, ophthalmic plastic surgery, retinal detachment and retinal macular degeneration, and glaucoma. There was a substantial increase in admissions to the ward eye service and in the number of both ward and private eye operations during the year.

ORTHOPEDICS THE Orthopedic Service concentrated on the development of its children's services. The various activities concerned with orthopedic conditions in children were combined and put under the supervision of a ranking staff member. These activities included the Children's Inpatient Service, Children's O.P.D., the long-term orthopedic cases at Blythedale, examination of the newborn, the hemophiliac group and the Respirator Center. The acquisition of an orthopedic service secretary helped to expedite referrals to collateral agencies such as the Social Service Department and the Public Health Nursing Service.

3' THE CLINICAL SERVICES

Because many orthopedic conditions in early childhood may, if detected, be easily rectified, a close liaison has been developed between the Pediatric and Orthopedic Services. Such cooperation means better general care for the chil- dren and also helps to train the pediatric residents in the early detection and correction of orthopedic abnormalities. Although antibiotic therapy and Salk vaccine have markedly altered the character of orthopedic illness, many residual paralyses and disabilities will con- tinue to require orthopedic therapy for years to come. The careful study of the newborn before their discharge from the Hospital has disclosed an increasing number of congenital conditions amenable to correction. Injuries, including fractures, are not uncommon. The Hand Service, inpatient and O.P.D., continued to grow, yielding excel- lent training material for orthopedic, plastic and general surgery residents. Under special clinical study were various types of fracture of the hip, arthritis of the hip, and growth disturbances at the hip such as epiphyseolysis and Legge-Perthe's disease. The policy of training orthopedic residents in the essentials of laboratory study continued, with residents participating in such projects under the super- vision of the attending staff. Laboratory studies dealt with vertebral growth and circulation, and the preservation of epiphyseal growth in transplanted bone segments. OTOLARYNGOLOGY A SIGNAL honor was bestowed on the Hospital and the service, as well as on the specialty of otolaryngology, when Dr. Samuel Rosen's exhibit on "Mobili- zation of Stapes for Otosclerotic Deafness" was awarded the Hektoen Gold Medal for original investigation at the 1956 convention of the American Medical Associa- tion. This notable achievement climaxed acceptance and appreciation of Dr. Rosen's valuable contribution to modern otology. The year marked the further development of the service's postgraduate teach-

ing program. The service is Columbia University's postgraduate teaching unit for otolaryngology. Courses were offered in rhinoplasty, laryngoscopy, voice rehabilitation, audiology, endaural surgery and, for the first time, stapes mobilization. All of the courses had a maximum enrollment. Facilities for teaching were greatly improved through the generosity of Mr. Harold C. Mayer. An air-conditioned anatomic laboratory was made available to the department. Also, the service was granted permission to include Head and Neck Surgery in its program. The service is therefore now able to provide training in all aspects of otolaryngology as prescribed by the American Board of Otolaryngology.

PHYSICAL MEDICINE THE inauguration of a ward service enabled the Department of Physical Medicine to give more intensive rehabilitation therapy to a limited number of severely disabled individuals. The results have been gratifying. Some of these

32 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

patients have become able to care for themselves completely, and in a few instances, to return to gainful occupations. The opening of a functional kitchen has made possible the training of handi- capped patients to perform household tasks as part of their activities of daily living. A new gymnasium in the Pediatric Pavilion for the treatment of Respirator Center patients has alleviated the pressure on the physical facilities of the crowded main treatment area. Planning for patients attending the Rehabilitation Work- shop was improved through closer liaison with the Social Service Department. Activities of staff members included the presentation of a paper on a method for measuring minimal muscle power at the annual meeting of the American Congress of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and the publication of another on the effect of vibration on temperature and radioactive sodium clearance. In collaboration with the Arthritis Group, a research project was started on the clearance of radioactive sodium from the knee joint and the influence of intra- arterial priscoline on the sodium clearance rate.

PSYCHIATRY THE services of the Department of Psychiatry continued to expand. The ward had 151 admissions and readmissions. That 11 of them were semi- private patients demonstrated the practicability of utilizing a psychiatric ward for service, as well as non-service, cases. The Adult Outpatient Service now has two clinic units for individual psycho- therapy and one for group psychotherapy. The latter has service and research value. The weekly conference is essentially a research seminar on group psycho- therapy. How hospital practice influences staff members is shown by the fact that many of the psychiatrists attached to this clinic now practice group psychotherapy with their own private patients.

The Follow-Up and Treatment Clinic, which meets twice a week, is staffed by the residents, who are enabled to follow their own ward cases. This clinic is an important part of our residents' training. The Liaison Service continued as an essential function of the department. Ten liaison psychiatrists in the O.P.D. and 14 in inpatient services functioned as consultants in relation to diagnostic and therapeutic problems and as participants in the overall educational program. Departmental, ward and unit conferences were again the mainstay of the staff educational program. In the training of residents, staff members serving as preceptors supervised the individual residents in their work on the theory and practice of psychotherapy. The service's treatment program is essentially eclectic. Shock and drug therapy are used as indicated. This gives the residents wider experience from the standpoint of types of treatment. Research continued to be an integral part of the department's activities, with many investigative projects in progress in both clinical and basic areas. The Psychology Division again contributed importantly on the service and training level. Three full-time and six part-time externs participated in the pro- gram. In addition to training psychologists, the division took part in resident

33 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

and staff teaching. The psychologists also functioned as members of several research teams. The Child Psychiatry Division was transferred from the Pediatric Pavilion to temporary quarters in a building across the street from the Hospital. Although the unavoidable move resulted in the loss of some of its customarily close inte- gration with the Pediatric Department, the division conducted a full and success- ful service and teaching program. Of particular significance in view of the shortage of trained child psy- chiatrists was the assignment to the division of four Fellows-in-Training under a U. S. Public Health Service grant. A fifth fellow completed his training during the year. An affiliation with a new day treatment center begun by the Godmothers' League has already given evidence of becoming a valuable adjunct for child psychiatry service and training.

With high morale, the Department of Psychiatry is preparing for the ex- pansion of its activities that will be made possible by the projected Psychiatry Pavilion.

RADIOLOGY THE Department of Radiology functioned at capacity. There were 45,000 patient-visits; 185,000 films were taken. Approximately 65,000 separate x-ray examinations were performed. In mid-year, another room was modified and new radiographic-fluoroscopic equipment was installed to expedite the "double contrast" portion of the routine barium enema examination. The time spent in the department by patients for that examination was cut in half.

Improved Techniques

Phototiming of chest examinations was installed in two rooms and has worked out well. It was demonstrated that high-voltage spot radiography of the chest in adults was feasible with the 0.3 mm. focal spot. Preliminary investiga- tions to extend this type of "spot" work to the gastrointestinal tract in adults were completed and special high-voltage equipment will be installed to test it in routine practice. Barium preparations specifically prepared for (1) mucosal esophageal studies, (2) mucosal gastric studies and (3) study of the pharynx and cervical esophagus were investigated and will be used regularly. A new opaque medium, Hypaque, used extensively for cerebral angiography, substantially reduced side-reactions. Direct cineradiography with new fast film was used experimentally to replace cardiac fluoroscopy with a permanent record that could be studied at leisure and repeatedly. This technique should decrease radiation exposure to patients, particularly those with congenital heart disease. Methods were developed for decreasing radiation exposure to the fetus during pelvimetry and the indications for pelvimetry, etc. were made more stringent. For six months, selected roentgen films were transmitted and received be- tween the Northern Division of the Albert Einstein Hospital, , and Mount Sinai over direct telephone lines to study the feasibility and utility of this method of teleognosis.

34 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

Educational Program

Weekly x-ray conferences were held with the Medical, Surgical, Pediatric, Obstetric and Gynecologic, Neurologic and Neurosurgical Services. O.P.D. x-ray conferences were held twice a month. Weekly conferences on chest, gastro- enterological and cardiovascular cases were held. Department members partici- pated in the weekly surgical grand rounds, otolaryngological grand rounds, the congenital cardiac conferences and in other Hospital conferences and meetings. Postgraduate Columbia courses in roentgen examination of the chest and gastrointestinal tract were continued. Departmental conferences for discussion of proved cases with demonstration of pathological specimens were again given full cooperation by the Department of Pathology. The training of radiological, gastroenterological and medical residents continued. A new radiology residency was added for a total of seven in the department. Members of the department presented papers at the International Radio- logical Convention in Mexico City, the American Roentgen Ray Society in Los Angeles, the Radiological Society of North America and the A.M.A. convention in Chicago, the National Tuberculosis annual meeting in New York, and the American Gastroenterological Society meeting in Atlantic City. Three depart- ment members participated in postgraduate courses of the American College of Surgery. Exhibits were prepared and presented at five national meetings and at the International Radiological Convention. Papers were published on diverticulitis of the right side of the colon, several esophageal abnormalities, methods of roentgen examination of the esophagus, the diagnosis of fruit pits in the gastrointestinal tract, the sagittal diameter of the cervical spinal canal in the ridge syndrome, and pulmonary changes in the Riley- Day syndrome. Twenty case reports of unusual interest and a number of special techniques were published in a special section of The Journal of the Mount Stnai Hospital devoted to topics of radiological interest.

RADIOTHERAPY

HE Radiotherapy Service worked closely with other services to assure com- X plete and individualized treatment for patients with malignant disease. The surgical and gynecological services helped in the selection of the best treatment and management methods in many cases. Cooperation with the medical service resulted in better understanding of the management of general medical, endo- crinological and hematological problems.

Clinical Progress

Radium was extensively used in the form of special applicators, needles and radon seeds. The use of radioisotopes increased. Radiogold, for the treatment of recurrent serious effusions of the chest and abdominal cavity, has now become almost routine. Radiophosphorus was used mainly in hematological disorders and radiostrontium in some superficial corneal, conjunctival and dermatological conditions. Several of the new chemical cancerocidal substances were tried in ad-

35 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

vanced cancer cases to determine their efficacy alone or in combination with radiotherapy.

Although cancer is the major interest, the service also deals with many acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, including bursitis, arthritis, spondylitis, neuritis and cellulitis. Radiotherapy for keloids was successfully administered to the young women from Hiroshima during their plastic surgery here. For morale purposes, advanced cancer patients are treated whenever possible on an ambulatory basis, instead of being hospitalized. This is done in cooperation with many clinics. Follow-up examinations are made regularly by the Tumor Clinic.

Training of Residents

The presence of a radiotherapy fellow from Great Britain provided a valuable interchange of ideas. Residents received instruction in the treatment of malig- nant disease by x-ray and radium methods, attended special courses in physics and radioisotopes, were encouraged to attend the meetings of the professional societies and, generally, were given every opportunity to acquire proficiency in the management of cancer in all its phases. In closing, the service must pay its respects to the Social Service Department for its ready and understanding assistance in many difficult and even tragic cases. Only through Social Service's dedication do many patients derive complete bene- fit from treatment.

SURGERY

THE reorganization of the Department of Surgery initiated in 1955 made possible simplified administration and more effective work allocation among the various departmental sections and smoother functioning generally.

Patient Care and Education

The care of ward patients continued at a high level. A noteworthy improve- ment was made in the care of patients in the Private and Semi-Private Pavilions. This was made possible by the institution of the five-team system, under which assistant residents and interns are assigned to specific groups of surgeons, with their duties delineated for continuity of care from the day of the patient's ad- mittance to the day of discharge. The clinical material in the two pavilions is enormous and of great educational benefit to the house staff. The enlarged house staff teaching program, an important aspect of the department's activities, also included greater diversification of assignments, at- tendance at conferences and lectures as part of the daily schedule, more emphasis on mortality conferences, surgical grand rounds of wider scope, greater im- portance of the follow-up clinics in the training program for attending and house staffs, and increased activities of the divisions of Plastic Surgery and Head and Neck Surgery.

36 THE CLINICAL SERVICES

The Hiroshima Project

The Plastic Surgery Division completed the Hiroshima project. Started in 1955, this encompassed the rehabilitation of 25 Hiroshima patients requiring 150 plastic operations. The results obtained by the concerted effort of the Plastic Surgery attending staff was a work of singular distinction. Drs. Arthur J. Barsky, Bernard E. Simon and Sidney Kahn are to be congratulated upon the successful completion of this project. During the year and a half devoted to this work, four Japanese surgeons in teams of two alternated in the Hospital as assistants and observers. Dr. Barsky and Dr. Simon later went to Japan where they conducted teaching clinics for two weeks and were honored for the work done at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Research Topics

Research projects dealt with viral etiology of ileitis and ulcerative colitis, pancreozymin and exocrine pancreatic secretion, the effect of esophagogastrectomy on the development of esophagitis in dogs, the development of a closed circuit oxygenator and artificial heart for use during cardiac surgery, the relation of skin temperature to skin circulation, paratenon in tendon transplants, and the circulation of pedicle flaps. Over 65 papers were published by members of the department, who also gave many lectures in the U. S. and abroad. The Chief of the Service made a teaching tour of Colombia, Peru, Chile, and Brazil.

UROLOGY

HE Urology Service was active on the ward and private services. The X monthly urological conferences and seminars offered many topics for dis- cussion and research. Staff members published communications on renal tuberculosis, retroperi- tonitis causing ureteral obstruction, the subject of renal calculi, an x-ray mat for urologic tables, and the use of succinyl chloride during the fulguration of bladder tumors. Clinical studies were carried out in association with the Endocrine Group, and the Obstetric and Gynecologic Services and with the staff of the Respirator Center. One resident presented a paper before the local urologic society and a second won a prize for interpretation of x-rays at another genitourinary meeting. Studies advancing development of a new artificial kidney continued, as did animal experiments relating to an artificial ureter. The clinical material was abundant and residents and interns benefited from bedside teaching and operative instruction.

37 THE OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENT

DESPITE the trend toward decreasing clinic populations due to the rise of voluntary health insurance and pre-payment plans, the Outpatient Depart- ment continued to maintain its volume and level of service to the community. In its eighty-third year of operation, there were 193,394 visits * compared with 192,535 in 1955. The number of new patients decreased from 9,814 to 8,614 primarily because of the inability of the Pediatric Clinics to absorb additional patients. O.P.D. service was provided by 450 physicians staffing 93 separate clinics. The clinics were well staffed and supervised. Twenty-four new medical staff appointments were made. There were 10,508 referrals to general and specialty

clinics within the O.P.D. with f°r I , compared 10,939 955- The enormous financial impact of the O.P.D. operation is shown by the dis- parity between the United Hospital Fund's estimated cost of $7.07 per patient- visit and our income of $1.03 per patient-visit. The net expense to the Hospital per visit was $6.04. Despite this loss, patients referred to the clinic were accepted for treatment regardless of residence or ability to pay. The demand for Emergency Room treatment continued to increase, despite the physical limitations of the area. There was an increase of 17 per cent in visits to the Emergency Room—from 72,605 in 1955 to 85,393. Renovations of the Reception and Emergency area have been planned for 1957 to provide a modern and more spacious facility.

Patient Needs

Service rendered to the community by the O.P.D. cannot be measured, how- ever, exclusively by statistics. At all times, we endeavored to consider the social, as well as medical, needs of clinic patients. A health education program was initiated through the distribution of selected reading material to patients. Under the supervision of the Recreation Department, a diversional recreation program subsidized by the United Hospital Fund was undertaken for patients.

New Clinics The trend toward expansion of service was continued with the addition of several new clinics. A Special Rehabilitation Clinic was begun under the Surgical Service for the care and study of ambulant patients with advanced cancer. This is a referral clinic receiving patients from the wards and other clinics. A Pediatric Surgery Clinic was introduced as a subdivision of the Surgical Clinic primarily for the evaluation of pre-operative pediatric patients, as well as follow-up care for children discharged from the wards. An additional session a week was scheduled for the Chest Clinic to accom- tuberculosis modate a 33 per cent increase in the volume of patients treated for and respiratory illnesses.

* Not including 9,000 O.P.D. Blood Ban\ and Follow-Up Visits.

38 THE OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENT

The Voice and Speech Clinic added to its staff two volunteer speech thera- pists to enlarge and improve the care rendered to patients with functional and rehabilitative voice problems. The O.P.D. Liaison Psychiatry program begun in 1955 continued to provide necessary consultations for clinic patients upon referral from the general and specialty clinics.

Postgraduate Education

To the physician in the community, one of the basic functions of an Out- patient Department is to provide for the continuation of the physician's education beyond the graduate level. This has become increasingly important with the dynamic nature of medicine today. The series of conferences in Medical, Cardiac, Gastroenterology, Hematology and Adult Allergy Clinics was continued on a regular basis. In addition, a monthly arthritis conference was initiated. The biweekly radiology conferences for the O.P.D. staff continued to provide stimu- lating and informative background for clinical work. As the extension of a high level of medical care is reliant upon the coopera- tive endeavors of the medical, nursing and administrative staff, may I express my appreciation for their unstinting efforts toward providing ambulant care for the indigent members of our community.

39 THE LABORATORIES

CARDIOGRAPHY

THE Cardiography Laboratory continued its study of blood pressure in the aged, with the cooperation of the American Medical Association, the New York Heart Association and representatives of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The survey to date has covered more than 6.000 apparently well men and women 65 and older. As our aged population continues its rapid increase, the information this project is yielding will be of significant value in meeting many clinical problems. Several papers on the study are in press. An exhibit of the work was held at the meeting of the American Heart Association. Other investigations dealt with acute coronary insufficiency, the two-step exercise electrocardiogram, vectorcardiography and ventricular gradient. Papers were published on the differentiation between heart and lung disease, heart failure in lung disease, pulmonary embolization, S-T vectors and the atrial (P-wave) vector. For the first time, a series of lectures for general practitioners was given under auspices of the American Academy of General Practice. We continued to offer courses in ballistocardiography, vectorcardiography and other subjects. The highlight of the program was the course sponsored by the American College of Physicians on recent advances in cardiovascular diseases. It was the third time the Hospital had the honor to be invited to give this course. More than 200 physicians from many states and Canada attended. A total of 1 1.579 electrocardiograms were taken during the year and the laboratory's increased work was also reflected in the number of ballistocardiograms, vectorcardiograms, heart sound tracings and other tests made.

CHEMISTRY THE impact of the advances of biochemistry upon clinical chemistry in the service of the sick is reflected by two developments: the introduction of new methods and the adaptation of existing procedures to the microscale. The majority of our analytical methods have been converted to microquantities. These are vital in the case of young children and also permit the performance of more determinations on any given blood sample, when necessary. Statistical data on the output of the department are found elsewhere in this report.

Clinical chemistry held its first international congress last September in New York. The director of the Mount Sinai Department of Chemistry was chairman of the scientific program, which comprised over 150 contributions from colleagues all over the world. He was also invited to serve as one of the two editors of "Advances of Clinical Chemistry,** a new annual publication.

40 THE LABORATORIES

Biochemical Research

Studies on the acid phosphatase in lipoidosis led to the differentiation from the analogous enzyme of prostatic origin. The study of metabolic patterns of the arterial wall showed the presence of esterase activity; it was also found that fresh homologous arterial grafts were less susceptible to atherosclerosis than the host aorta. The mechanism of pancreatic secretion was further studied under the in- fluence of cortical hormones; the effect of secretin on the spilling of pancreatic enzymes into the circulation and the urine was investigated. The department cooperated in the evaluation of the therapeutic effect of Orinase in various types of diabetic patients. Protein-bound iodine furnished material for correlation with the diagnosis in thyroid disorders. Microbiochemical assay methods, which we had previously developed for vitamin Bi 2 and folic acid, were extended to pantothenic acid, thiamine, pyridoxine, and biotin, permitting the evaluation of the minute quantities of these vitamins occurring in small volumes of blood serum, urine and cerebrospinal fluid. These methods were applied to problems in obstetrics, neurology, liver disease, lupus erythematosus, and diabetes. We believe that vitamin B I2 in the maternal circulation is being utilized for fetal development; high levels of folic acid in the serum aid in the maintenance of a healthy placenta. We are investi- gating the role of thiamine in multiple sclerosis; folic acid levels have been found to be high in these cases. The high pantothenic acid levels in diabetics treated with Orinase are being evaluated.

A binding factor for vitamin B I2 was discovered in Ochromonas malhamensis and Euglena gracilis, which appears to be analogous to the intrinsic factor of gastric mucosa. The chemical properties of this factor are now under study. In conjunction with the Department of Psychiatry, a fluorophotometer was acquired, which permits the microanalysis of the catecholamines, adrenaline and non-adrenaline by measurement of their fluorescence in the serum. The chemistry and physiology of adrenochrome, an important derivative of adrenaline, were the subject of a comprehensive review article. The enhanced hydrolysis of phosphodiamides by the phosphamidase of epithelial tumors was shown to consist of two steps: a nonenzymatic hydrolysis to p-chloroaniline and aminophosphoric acid, followed by the enzymatic scission of amidophosphoric acid. Concentration of the active principle of the saponin from the sea-cucumber Actinopyga Agassizi was achieved. A number of functional groups were identi- fied in the aglycone. The specific reaction of monomolecular layers of fatty acids with serum albumin was shown to disappear when the latter was modified by increasing con- centrations of urea or guanidine. The study of monolayers, incorporating radio- active carbon and calcium, elucidated the structure of these films and helped to explain their great penetrability. A new apparatus for measuring the surface tension of small volumes of

4i THE LABORATORIES

liquids enabled us to determine the surface tension of various bile acids at varying concentrations and acidity. We also defined the exact condition necessary for the peculiar phenomenon of gelification of bile salt solutions, previously observed in our laboratory. The Physiological Chemistry Seminar included lectures on "Porphyrin Metabolism and Porphyria," by R. Schmid, National Heart Institute, Bethesda, Md.; "Modern Biochemical Approaches to Schizophrenia," by H. Sprince, U. S. Veterans Hospital, Coatesville, Pa.; "Recent Advances in the Mechanism of Carcinogenesis," by I. Berenblum, Weizmann Institute, Rehovot, Israel; "The Clinical Significance of Blood Ammonia," by S. P. Bessman, University of Mary- land, Baltimore; and "Nutritional Anemia in Israel," by M. Rachmilevvitz, Hebrew University, Jerusalem.

Nutrition Research

The study of the role of heredity in determining the level of serum cholesterol was continued and a survey of 201 families, totaling 775 individuals was concluded. Other studies dealt with experimental xanthomatosis, and the relationships between pancreatitis and lipemia. A carotene absorption test was used in the malabsorption syndrome. In col- laboration with the Department of Hematology, a study on intestinal absorption of vitamin B I2 was conducted in controls and in patients with the malabsorption syndrome and pernicious anemia. Xylose absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, used as a simple screening test for intestinal malabsorption, promises to be of great advantage in studies of asymptomatic family members of patients with the malabsorption syndrome.

Endocrinology Research

This laboratory group carried on biochemical and physiological studies of muscular dystrophy. An assay method was developed for long-acting preparations of corticotropin in man. This involved measurement of the level of 17-hydroxy- corticoids in the blood before and following the parenteral administration of this pituitary hormone. The studies were adapted to aid in the diagnosis of the underlying adrenal lesion in Cushing's syndrome. Other studies concerned the effects of the endocrine glands on the ground substance by means of histochemical examinations of serial skin biopsies, the effects of synthetic corticoids on renal function and water and electrolyte metabo- lism, disseminated lupus erythematosus, the effects of enzyme inhibitors on adrenal and thyroidal function, and the diagnosis and management of certain menstrual irregularities, particularly amenorrhea and functional uterine bleeding.

The use of newer progestational steroids is being integrated with studies of nuclear sex chromatin and with urinary and blood hormonal levels. Fellows from many parts of the world were accepted for training in endocrinology.

4^ THE LABORATORIES

GASTROENTEROLOGY

The past year has seen a considerable increase in the activities of this depart- ment, arising in part from the steady growth of the recently integrated Clinical Gastroenterology Group of the Department of Medicine.

Peptic Ulcer Study

Peptic ulcer disease continued to occupy a dominant position in the interests of our group. A study was completed on the rate of healing of mucosal excision ulcers, induced mechanically in a portion of the gastric corpus transplanted to the outer abdominal wall in experimental animals. This work has been reported in several stages at scientific and medical society meetings; a detailed report is being prepared for publication. As current thinking on the mechanism by which conditions of stress in daily life cause gastrointestinal ulceration is based solely on augmented secretion of gastric pepsin and hydrochloric acid, the effect of such hormones on gastric secretion directly has also been studied. The laboratory has been trying to dis- cover the physiological mechanism by which the potassium content of the gastric juice is increased. A similar study conducted on the potassium content of gastric mucus showed that the mucoid fluid secreted instead of the acid also manifests a prompt rise in potassium concentration following the injection of histamine. Some years ago this department reported studies bearing on the use of the urinary excretion of gastric pepsin as a test of gastric secretory function. This interest has been renewed, and a study was carried out on the variations in daily excretion of this enzyme. In the present study, use has been made of its milk- coagulating action for determination of its activity, instead of the usual hemo- globin-hydrolyzing action. A paper on methodology is in press and data on the variation in urinary pepsin output in patients with various gastric disturbances are being collected to evaluate the reliability of this testing technique for diag- nostic purposes. The animal study about the causes of basal gastric secretion, which sometimes manifests itself in patients as an elevated interdigestive phase or night secretion, was completed. The long-range investigation on the physiology of mucus secretion in the digestive tract and the mucous barrier, which normally protects the sensitive glandular epithelium against autodigestion and possibly also carcinogenesis, re- mained a major activity of the laboratory. Studies were continued on the chemical and physico-chemical characterization of several varieties of gastric mucus and plans for the attempted isolation of the several kinds of glycoproteins they contain were begun. Aspects of the pharmacology of gastric secretion were also studied, with special view to further improvement in the medical therapy for the ulcer patient by means of drugs that interfere with the secretion of hydrochloric acid through blocking its formation by the parietal cell or by interference with the neural mechanisms that normally stimulate these glands to secretory activity. Work previously reported from this laboratory on the inhibition of hydrochloric acid secretion in animals and patients by means of the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, Diamox, was extended to include a group of new synthetic substances that are

43 THE LABORATORIES

homologues of this compound. The present experimental work is aimed at rinding a compound of this chemical family that can be taken by mouth in a convenient dosage, without significant side effects. Two other groups of recently synthetized compounds were similarly tested on experimental animals to evaluate their efficacies in reducing basal secretory activity of the gastric glands in one case, and their secretory response to histamine stimulation in the other. One of these pharmacological agents proved to be sufficiently effective to merit an evalua-

tion of its therapeutic efficacy in ulcer patients. Many other inhibitors of gastric acid secretion resulting from histamine in- jection were studied because of their significance for the fundamental physiology of this process rather than their immediate clinical importance. A study was initiated on the stimulatory effectiveness of histamine when applied topically to the mucosa of canine gastric pouches.

Stomach Cancer Test

Collaboration within the department of a cytologist, a physiologist, and a clinical gastroenterologist permitted an expansion of studies on the use of gastric smears for the cytological diagnosis of stomach cancer. A similar study on all kinds of patients with true achlorhydria, especially those with pernicious anemia,

is now being conducted in collaboration with the City Department of Health, with the Chief of our Gastroenterology Research Laboratory as special consultant.

This is part of a mass screening project for gastric malignancy that is being conducted in municipal hospitals along with Mount Sinai and several other voluntary hospitals. A fair proportion of our research activities dealt also with the normal physiology of the pancreas. Studies on the composition of pure canine pancreatic

juice, as functions of its secretory rate, were expanded to include sodium and potassium, total nitrogen, and buffer power. The data were subjected to statistical analysis for curvalinear regression and the resulting equations compared with similar relations derived on the basis of a carefully formulated hypothesis con- cerning the mechanism of this aspect of pancreatic secretion. The results are being prepared for publication. In collaboration with members of the medical and surgical staffs, another study was conducted of the ability of the pancreas to be stimulated directly by the subcutaneous injection of histamine. Reports on these experiments have been published. A phase of this work dealing with the effect of vagotomy on pancreatic secretion is nearly ready for publication. The laboratory recently began the investigation of several other problems, including the fundamental cellular and physicochemical mechanisms involved in intestinal absorption of nutritive substances like those derived from foodstuffs; abnormalities in small bowel absorption and the appearance of x-ray pictures of this organ in patients with sprue and related deficiency diseases; and inflammatory disease of the colon. The last, in collaboration with the Departments of Psychiatry and Medicine, is a statistical study of the results of psychotherapy given here to hospitalized patients with ulcerative colitis. Members of the laboratory staff published 12 papers. A number of tables of data culled by this department from scientific literature, in collaboration with

44 THE LABORATORIES

The Handbook of Biological Data, have been published by the National Academy of Science and the National Research Council. In affiliation with Columbia Uni- versity, the department continued to give two postgraduate courses in physiology for our own residents and clinical and research fellows and for physicians outside the Hospital. One course is on the physiology of the digestive tract and the other on normal and pathological physiology. Educational activities included also monthly research seminars, a Journal Club, and participation in the seminars held by the Clinical Gastroenterology Group.

HEMATOLOGY

AMERICAN hematology was "open for inspection" when the U. S. was host xklast summer to the International Society of Hematology. Although Boston was the seat of the convention, an International Hemophilia Symposium was held the week before in New York. Much of the organization of the symposium was done by Mount Sinai's Department of Hematology. Following the Boston meet- ing, our department, with the Society for the Study of Blood, was host at a program given in the Blumenthal Auditorium. The participants were from England, Italy, France, Japan, India, Israel, Argentina and other countries. Many of the visitors took part in the department's daily rounds and observed work on electrophoresis of proteins and hemoglobin solutions. In the same laboratory, they viewed histochemical and biochemical analysis for phosphatase activity being done on leukemic cells. The coagulationists inspected work on anticoagulants in hemophilia, erythrocyte thromboplastic factor, or on the in- fluence of serum lipids upon blood coagulation. Those interested in immuno- hematology saw research on A-B-O sensitization and unusual antibodies. The

visitors showed particular interest in the use of radioactive B I2 , chromium-tagged red cells for blood volume or cell survival, radioactive iron for turnover studies, and the mass spectrometer for isotopic study of purine metabolism in myelopro- liferative disorders. Generally, our laboratory techniques differed little from those used abroad, but the visitors found much that was new in our method of record-keeping and reporting on a large volume of varied tests for many Hospital divisions. The operation of the Blood Bank was of interest for its precision in dispensing 10,000 units of blood and 1,000 of plasma yearly. The visitors also took note of the use of plastic bags for the collection of blood and preservation of white cells and platelets in selected cases of leukemia and thrombocytopenia as the practical appli- cation in a general hospital of what was only recently a purely research exercise. At the Hemophilia Symposium our staff members presented work on plasma refractoriness in hemophilia, plasma thromboplastin anticedent deficiency, and dental management of hemophilia. At the International Society of Hematology, they gave papers on the antiglobulin test in A-B disease, a new Rh variant, anti- coagulants in hemophilia, inhibition of leukocyte agglutinins in lupus erythema- tosis, distribution of B I2 following intravenous injection, and the pool theory of iron metabolism and a discussion of polycythemia vera. Department members also took part in meetings of the American Association for the Study of Arterio-

43 THE LABORATORIES

sclerosis, the American Association of Clinical Chemists, the New Jersey Blood Bank Commission and of several hospitals. The department's teaching program in the Hospital included the postgraduate course in clinical hematology and laboratory hematology, a series of conferences on selected hematologic topics for the outpatient medical staff and a biweekly conference on current Hospital material for the Department of Medicine staff. In addition, members took part in the clinical conferences, the program of the Research Club, and medical, obstetric and pediatric grand rounds. At weekly meetings, lecturers from other departments presented their specialties as they applied to hematology. Among the cooperating departments were radiology, radiotherapy, medicine and pathology. Other departmental ac- tivities included grand rounds, journal club and hematopathological meetings. The Department of Hematology is an integral part of the Hospital's clinical service. The development of the department has made possible the handling of specialized difficulties like coagulation defects in pregnancy and surgery, isoimmu- nization problems in medicine and obstetrics, and anemias of the prepartum period. Hematology has become an important physician's tool at Mount Sinai.

MICROBIOLOGY A TOTAL of 52,937 routine examinations was performed by the bacterio- logical, chemotherapy, mycological, parasitological, serological and virological divisions of the Department of Microbiology, an eight per cent increase for the year. In addition, the Allergy Laboratory prepared and dispensed large quan- tities of allergens, including pollens, dust, molds, inhalants and foods for use in the clinics, wards and consultation service, as well as for our staff physicians and other hospitals. Every year witnesses an increase in the number of tests performed. In the last four years, the number of diagnostic bacteriology tests has increased 35 per cent, antibiotic sensitivity tests 200 per cent, virological procedures 140 per cent and parasitology examinations 39 per cent. The rise in virological tests is due to the growing realization of the importance of viruses as agents of disease and to the laboratory's greater ability to diagnose such infections. The increase in anti- biotic sensitivity tests reflects the problem of the development of resistance by many strains of bacteria to antibiotics. These tests have assumed major importance as a guide in selecting the antibiotics most likely to be effective in the treatment of particular infections.

New Procedures

Several new procedures were initiated for routine use. Urea fungal agar medium was developed and introduced for the identification and differentiation of Candida albicans from other fungi. Titration of antibodies against the three types of poliomyelitis by neutralization tests in tissue culture is now available. This affords a means for the serological diagnosis of poliomyelitis infection in the absence of paralysis and, by providing an index to the patient's polio immunity status, determines the need or lack of need for active immunization by vaccination.

4" THE LABORATORIES

New antibiotic agents—novobiocin (albamycin), nystatin, sigmamycin and oleandomycin—became commercially available. Procedures for assaying bac- terial sensitivity to their action were instituted; all microorganisms isolated from clinical material were routinely tested for their susceptibility to new antibiotics. After extensive investigation, the latex fixation test was routinely performed as an adjunct in the serological diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The specific role of Coxsackie and Adenonoviruses (adenoidal-pharyngeal-conjunctival) was more clearly delineated in respiratory, meningeal and conjunctival infections and com- plement-fixation tests for their diagnoses were made available. Specific typing of a limited number of strains of both viruses, using neutralization tests and tissue culture, was also performed. A number of graduate students from St. John's University have been as- signed to this department as part of their work toward their master's and doctor's degrees. An authoritative book on Cryptococcus by a staff member was pub- lished. Staff members participated in many scientific meetings and wrote many reports on aspects of the department's research in scientific and clinical journals.

Research Program

A full and productive research program was carried on. New antimicrobial agents were subjected to laboratory and clinical evaluation. The agents tested were vancomycin and ristocetin, antibiotics active against Gram positive micro- organisms resistant to other antibiotics; amphotericin, active against coccidiodomy- cosis and other fungi; polybenzarsone against amaebae; and piperazine against trichiuris infestation. A mouse pathogenicity test, using gastric mucin as an adjunct, was developed that provides an accurate index of virulence of staphy- lococci, which vary from completely innocuous saprophytes to serious pathogens. The technique is similar to animal tests used to differentiate virulent from aviru- lent strains of other pathogenic microorganisms like the diphtheria bacilli. Five thousand blood cultures obtained over a three-year period were analyzed for significant changes in the types of organisms now being isolated as a result of the extensive use of the newer antibiotics. The study of possible involvement of viral agents in the pathogenesis of regional ileitis and non-specific ulcerative colitis continued. Forty-five specimens of surgically removed diseased tissue specimens, and the sera from each patient, have been collected and intensively studied. Work was begun on the possible role in the etiology of ileitis of a number of agents pathogenic to mice and cytopathogenic on tissue culture. The latex fixation test continued under investigation and attempts were made to adopt the technique to other microbiological problems. Its adaptation to the serological diagnosis of virological and mycological diseases, with particular emphasis on histoplasmosis, was studied as a means of simplifying and making more precise the diagnosis of diseases caused by these microbiological agents. An epidemiological survey was started, in cooperation with the City Depart- ment of Health, to determine the incidence in pigeon excreta of such potentially serious fungal pathogens as cryptococci and histoplasma. Specimens collected from scattered parts of the city were cultured in an attempt to isolate these specific

47 THE LABORATORIES

organisms from this source. Some positive isolates, especially of crytococci, were found, pointing to a potentially serious public health problem. Work on the purification of tobacco proteins sought to isolate the specific factors responsible for the symptoms and syndromes attributed to sensitivity to tobacco. The aim was to determine the existence of tobacco allergy and the pathogenic role of tobacco or its components in these cases. Investigations of the role of endocrine function in determining susceptibility or resistance to poliomyelitis continued. Testicular hyperactivity appeared to be associated with increased resistance, while castration enhanced susceptibility and made possible experimental infection by peritoneal route in hamsters. On the other hand, the progressive adreno-cortical involution, developed as a compen- satory reaction two weeks following castration in hamsters, coincided with a sig- nificant diminution in susceptibility to poliomyelitis virus. Further investigation of the role of stress in the pathogenesis of poliomyelitis revealed that, in hamsters submitted to stress as well as to cortisone treatment, viral multiplication was enhanced and the persistence of the inoculated virus significantly protracted.

PATHOLOGY MORE than 10,000 pre- and post-operative specimens were examined and 466 necropsies performed. Of these, 72 were of the neonatal and 23 of the post-neonatal period. Included were 268 examinations of organs of the central nervous system performed by the Neuropathology Division. In addition, 250 placentas were investigated, and 2,547 examinations for malignant cells were made by the Exfoliative Cytology Division. Thirty residents and fellows worked full-time in pathological anatomy and surgical pathology, 15 the first half year and 15 the second. Ten intend to pursue careers in pathology. The others, including three U. S. Public Health Service trainees, took on the work to enrich their scientific and clinical experience. The educational program included weekly clinical pathological conferences, daily necropsy table gross organ discussions, daily demonstration of surgical pathology specimens, weekly departmental microscopic conferences and a post- graduate course in surgical pathology in affiliation with Columbia University. The department also took part in the monthly medical and surgical mortality conferences. The Pediatric Pathology Division held weekly gynecological pathology con- ferences, bi-monthly pediatric mortality conferences and monthly pediatric pathology conferences. Weekly demonstrations of current neuropathological material and the monthly conferences with the Neurosurgery and Neurology Services were continued. Investigations of finer glomerular structures by special ultra thin section techniques were continued. Histochemical studies on phosphamidase were con- ducted for the third year. Preliminary studies on the mechanism of action of bichloride of mercury were completed. Cross-circulation experiments demon- strated that this substance acts directly on certain organs, and indirectly on others. The Cell Research Laboratory developed methods for the histochemical and

48 THE LABORATORIES

histophysical analysis of structural changes, especially in cancer cells. Electron microscope, cytospectrophometric and tissue culture techniques, including micro- surgery of cells, were emphasized. The characteristics of cells in a renai tumor in frogs were studied and compared with normal tubular epithelium, partly with the intention to establish a viral etiology of these tumors. Because of the com- plexity of the methods used, this work has been limited to orientation experiments.

PHYSICS THE Radioactive Isotope Group of the Andre Meyer Department of Physics gave 195 therapeutic doses of radioactive iodine for Graves' disease and performed 1,520 diagnostic tests by uptake measurements and 680 by the de- termination of radioiodine blood levels. Autoradiographs of malignant thyroid lesions were done on 58 patients. In cooperation with the Radiotherapy Depart- ment, radioactive gold was used for intracavitary therapy of disseminated malig- nancies. The Hematology Department continued to use radioactive phosphorus in the therapy of hematological conditions and in radioactive tracer techniques in blood-volume determinations.

Routine Activities

The increased number of nuclear measurement instruments in use in the Hospital has imposed a heavy servicing load on the electronics laboratory. Thirteen complete scaling circuits now serve routine and research activities, almost exclusively in the Physics Department. Efficient maintenance, without prolonged :nterruption of work in various areas, was possible only through curtailment of work on new developments. Services to the Radiotherapy and Radiology Departments included standardi- sation of x-ray machines, process control and maintenance of specialized equipment. Greater awareness of the biological effects of exposure to radiation has lelped to complete the coverage of almost all potentially exposed Hospital per- ;onnel. In addition to film badge monitoring, personnel in the Physics Depart- nent are also measured for radioiodine loading of the thyroid gland. The •adiation safety record of the Hospital has been excellent. However, recent •ecommendations to reduce the "permissible" radiation dose to a third of the ormerly accepted value have created a few borderline cases that will require some •ducational work. The Department took part in the planning of the new Radiotherapy Depart- ment which will be completed in 1957. A clinical photography laboratory, organized, built and equipped under the >rofessional direction of the Physicist, began to function during the year. The instrument shop mechanic continued to design and construct various ypes of technical apparatus for the Hospital. The mechanic hired for the Jack vfartin Respirator Center made a variety of specialized equipment for the use

»f patients with physical impairment due to polio.

49 THE LABORATORIES

Teaching Program

A month-long course on the clinical use of radioactive isotopes, including extensive laboratory work, was given for the third straight year in collaboration with the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, and specialists from other hospitals. There are only two other similar courses in the country and the demand for ours is so great that the June 1957 sessions were fully reserved a year in advance. The full-time course is limited to out-of-town students. A fall-winter course is offered for local physicians one afternoon a week for nine months. Twice as many students can be accepted for the latter by repeating the laboratory work on a second afternoon. The additional places are held for our own residents and staff members and those of the Presbyterian and Francis Delafield Hospitals. A three-month clinical course in the use of radioactive iodine given by the Radioisotope Group also attracted a capacity enrollment. All radiology and radiotherapy residents are participating on a rotating schedule in the Physics Department's teaching program. Our first two graduates have successfully taken the newly instituted examination in nuclear medicine given by the American Board of Radiology. This will become in a few years a compulsory part of the board examination.

Research

The physics staff and the Radioisotope Group published a number of scien- tific papers and read papers at many scientific meetings. Problems relating to the design of reliable uptake measurements of radioiodine by the thyroid gland were investigated with gratifying results. The measurements in our laboratory were among the few found to be in agreement with the assumed "correct" value in a nationwide check conducted by the Institute of Nuclear Studies, Oak Ridge. Experiments were carried out on the physiological relationship between bromine and iodine in animals and man. Another investigation dealt with the metabolic behavior of iodine compounds in protein fractions and the dynamics of

iodinic compounds in body pool systems. The aim is to elucidate the physiological differences between cured hyperthyroid patients and normal individuals. A clinical evaluation of radiation thyroidectomy in heart diseases is nearing completion. The assistant physicist received a British research grant and will continue in London his research on dosimetry. A research assistant took her Ph.D. with a thesis based on her work on multiple pool theory in this department. The Physicist to the Hospital served on three subcommittees of the National Committee of Radiation Protection and as an alternate member of the Atomic Energy Commission's Advisory Subcommittee on Human Applications. The Physics Department cooperated in the research projects of many other services by active participation, consultation and offering technical assistance. By departments, some of these activities were: Hematology—Completion of a project on the theory of pool systems as applied to iron metabolism and its disturbances. Experimental application and investiga-l tion of pool changes in polycythemia and myelofibrosis. Tracer work for blood-i

50 THE LABORATORIES

volume determination and vitamin assay. Mass spectrograph determinations of heavy nitrogen. Medicine—Operation of mass spectrograph for the measurement of samples containing heavy nitrogen. Construction of a self-contained, engineered thermal digital flowmeter for the Peripheral Vascular Laboratory. Neurosurgery—The testing on cats of a method of producing thin laminar lesions in the cortex of experimental animals by using heavy nuclear particle beams of high energy produced by a cyclotron. This was done in cooperation with the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Construction of suitable ionization chambers and positioning devices. Electrophysiological work on the excitability mechanisms of optical pathways. Pediatrics—Setting up a special automatic counting device for research on immunity to polio, using polio virus tagged with radioactive phosphorus. Physical Medicine—The application of radioactive sodium measurements in the study of blood flow and resorption as influenced by various physical modalities. Psychiatry—A study with selected patients with Graves' disease, before and after treatment with radioactive iodine, to determine the relationship, if any, between the psychiatric and physiological findings.

THE outstanding event of 1956 was the observance of the 75th anniversary of the School of Nursing on May 26 with a Homecoming Day that brought 800 alumnae back to Mount Sinai from 26 states and five provinces of Canada. Tours of the Hospital, exhibits tracing the progress of the School since 1881, a student symposium on the School's current program, and a grand luncheon featured the day's activities. At the luncheon, which impressively packed the Hospital dining hall, the returning alumnae were greated by many dignitaries, including Mr. Joseph Klingenstein, president of the Hospital, Mr. Alfred L. Rose, chairman of the board, and representatives of the Alumnae Association, Medical Board and other groups. Phillip W. Haberman, Jr., president of the School, presided. A watch, a gift of esteem, was presented to Miss Grace A. Warman, the school's director, by Miss Blanche Gubersky, president of the Alumnae Association. On May 27, a reception and tea were held for the homecoming guests at The Oaks, the Association's vacation center in New Rochelle. Two hundred and fifty graduates attended. The homecoming weekend gave our graduates a

chance to see the changing School once again, and to meet the faculty, their former classmates and other alumnae. The development of the School's educational program is shown in the contribution of the graduates. They are serving in public health nursing, and in teaching and administration, as well as in institutional, private duty and office nursing. They have contributed to nursing literature and organizations, and have served with distinction in the Armed Services. An accomplishment of far-reaching meaning was the renovation of the Nurses Residence. It was made possible by a gift of 1250,000 from Mrs. Murry Guggenheim. This latest benefaction was a perpetuation of one family's support

54 THE SCHOOL AND THE DEPARTMENT OF NURSING

of the School, a generosity over many years that is woven into the fabric of the School's history. The modernization was planned and executed by the distinguished decorator, William Pahlmann, and the House Committee of the School's Board of Directors. Our nurses have unanimously voiced their approval and appreciation of their bright new surroundings and the modern, comfortable room furnishings. The renovation has immensely aided our recruitment efforts by making the residence a happier home.

Scholarships

The School received funds for two graduate scholarships and the gifts were particularly gratifying because both came from alumnae.

Established by Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Gaisman, the Catherine and Henry is Catherine Vance of J. Gaisman Scholarship Fund (Mrs. Gaisman the former the class of 1940) provides that income be used for a scholarship to assist a qualified graduate of the School in the completion of a degree program. The Margaret Cameron Scholarship Fund was established by Colonel Mark M. Serrem in memory of his wife, Margaret Cameron Serrem, an alumna.

Income is to be used to provide a scholarship to a qualified graduate of the School commencing a course of study in a degree program. Strong priority is to be given to graduates who intend to remain on the Hospital staff or School faculty following completion of the course of study.

Recruitment, Admissions and Graduation

Recruitment efforts included participation in an open house for local high school students and visits to high school college nights in Mahopac, N. Y.,

Hillsdale, N. J., and Nyack, N. Y. Two groups of students from New Jersey visited the School, accompanied by counsellors. A student in uniform participated in the program of the Nursing Career Assembly program in the high school from which she graduated. Two faculty members attended the meeting of high school guidance counsellors. Catalogs were distributed to over 600 high school libraries. Eighty-three students entered the School, 14 in February and 69 in September. Three Murry Guggenheim Scholarships and five Murry and Leonie Guggenheim Scholarships were awarded. Two scholarships were given by other agencies and eight students received regents scholarships. We now have 18 students who are receiving regents scholarships. The student body includes members from Con- necticut, the District of Columbia, Flordia, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, as well as New York. Graduating exercises for the class of 1956 were held on February 15 in the Blumenthal Auditorium. The commencement, marking the 75th anniversary of the School, was made particularly notable by the stimulating address of the guest speaker, Dr. Buell G. Gallagher, president of the College of the City of New York.

55 THE SCHOOL AND THE DEPARTMENT OF NURSING

The Student Association

The Student Association and its committees had a productive year. The recreational program included many social and cultural activities. The Scholle Fund and the Murry and Leonie Guggenheim Fund contributed substantially to the success of the social program. Activities included dances, bingo and card parties, trips to The Oaks, attendance at concerts, ballet and theatres, and swimming and ice-skating. The Glee Club was featured at several important functions, including Alumnae Homecoming Day and the inaugural campaign dinner of the United Hospital Fund. Students were the guests of Mr. Oscar S. Straus, II, Mr. Randolph Guggenheimer and Dr. John H. Garlock at Broadway plays, the Lewisohn Stadium concerts and the Philharmonic Symphony. The Senior Prom was, as usual, an important social event. The School contributed liberally to the senior class toward the cost of the prom and of the yearbook. A new schedule of late-pass and overnight privileges was recommended by the Student Association and approved by the faculty advisers. The new schedule is based on the scholastic, health and clinical record of the student, rather than on a specified number for each class. This has created an additional incentive for the student. Representatives of the Student Association attended the National Student Association meeting in Chicago and the New York State Student Association meeting in Albany. Our students attended many local meetings of the Student Association; one was named to the Board of Directors. The Health Service, under Dr. E. Z. Epstein, again provided exceptional service, especially in instilling in the student concepts of good health care that she may apply in her experience with patients. The Hospital arranged for the student body and faculty to receive the Salk polio vaccine.

The Board and the Faculty

The School continued to emphasize the importance of making available advanced preparation to nurses of high potentialities. Four staff members were granted leaves of absence to attend college full-time. Miss Rosemary Tetreault, class of 1950, awarded the Murry Guggenheim graduate scholarship for 1956,: earned a B.S. degree at Teachers College, Columbia University. Miss Tetreault returned to our faculty as an assistant nursing arts instructor. Faculty committees were active. The Procedures Committee worked on the revision of the Manual of Nursing Procedures. The Nursing Service Com-i mittee made many helpful suggestions for the improvement of patient care. The.' Curriculum Committee, studying the two-year experimental program in nursing,! observed it at two schools, one in a junior college and one in a hospital, and; reported their findings to the faculty. The quality of our teaching program was again demonstrated by the results) of the State licensing examinations. Sixty-four candidates entered the examina- tions and the class average was over 90.

Faculty members were active in many professional groups. The School is, a member of the council of member agencies of the diploma and associate degree,

56 THE SCHOOL AND THE DEPARTMENT OF NURSING

programs of the National League for Nursing. The members of this agency studied criteria for the evaluation of educational programs in nursing at their annual meeting. Our staff was also represented at the New York State League Convention in Albany, at two meetings there sponsored by the New York State Education Department, and also participated in the programs of many local health agencies. The Board of Directors approved the faculty recommendation to admit one class a year in September and eliminate the February class, which is the generally accepted practice. As this recommendation had also been made by the accrediting agencies, it was decided to make the change effective in 1957. The resignations of Mr. William D. Scholle and Mr. Randolph Guggen- heimer from the Board of Directors were accepted with regret. Mr. Scholle, who had served as chairman of the Finance Committee, was elected an Honorary Director. The school will miss the valued services of Mr. Scholle and Mr. Guggenheimer.

NURSING DEPARTMENT

THE Nursing Department made every effort to maintain high standards of patient care in the face of a continuing national shortage of nurses. The dearth was particularly acute for night assignments. Placing an additional burden on the nursing staff was our inability, as we served more patients than ever before, to obtain the needed private duty nurses from the registries. Of 22,985 orders, 6,787 were unfilled, and again the greatest scarcity was for night assignments. Forty per cent of the graduating class elected to accept appointments on our staff, but this could not alone compensate for the resignations prompted in the main by pregnancy or departure from the city. In addition to the regular professional nursing staff, the Hospital had a daily average of 271 private duty nurses, 58 professional per diem nurses and 85 practical per diem nurses. A total of 268 practical nurses, nursing aides and ward helpers worked in the Hospital. Three classes of nursing aides were trained during the year. A higher salary scale went into effect in October for all categories of nursing personnel, as part of the Hospital's continuing effort to maintain personnel policies at least on a level with those of other comparable institutions. The Exchange-Visitor Program was improved by the addition of an advanced course of lectures in medical and surgical nursing. Letters from former exchange students back working in their homelands express appreciation for the knowledge and skills gained here. Significantly, inquiries regarding the program are almost all stimulated by the recommendations from young women who have completed |[he course. Their stay here, on the other hand, also gave our nurses an under- standing of nursing in other countries, as well as valuable relationships they would otherwise have been denied. Respirator Center nursing personnel helped to instruct 91 persons repre- senting schools of nursing affiliated with a university, the U. S. Navy and a hhurch. Also, forty families of polio patients were instructed in post-hospital care.

57 THE SCHOOL AND THE DEPARTMENT OF NURSING

Two members of the executive nursing staff participated regularly in the Coordinating Committee, which includes also members of the Hospital adminis- tration and department heads. The Director of the School and of Nursing Service] was invited to speak at the October meeting of the Hospital's Board of Trustees. The theme of the in-service program for head nurses was the role of the head nurse as a teacher. A committee of head nurses and faculty prepared an instructive program that dealt with principles of teaching, methods of ward instruction, assignment planning, and evaluation.

In closing I express my sincere thanks for the year's accomplishments to Miss Grace A. Warman, her associates in the nursing office, my fellow directors of the School and of the Hospital, to Dr. Martin R. Steinberg, the Hospita director, to Dr. Sidney M. Samis, associate director concerned with nursing problems, and to all who devoted themselves to helping us move forward in this difficult but rewarding year.

THE SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT

THE most important event of the Social Service Department was' its 50th anniversary, celebrated on October 18. A day's program planned to mark the occasion provided an opportunity for representatives of the professional and lay community interested in medical care and social service to meet with us for a review of the past, an analysis of the present and a projection of the future in the development of social work in the medical setting. At a morning panel on "Changing Concepts in Patient Care and Their Implications for Social Service," representatives of medicine, public health, psychiatry and hospital care, with a moderator representing medical social work, looked together at new develop- ments, their meaning for social service and how social work might contribute to the changing scene. In the afternoon, several concurrent sessions on important issues in a social service program were considered—the team, lay interest, relationships with com- munity agencies, and social work practice. The day concluded with a presenta- tion by the director of the department pointing out that a comprehensive medical care program must include consideration of the social and emotional aspects of care and stressing the importance of the social work contribution in the total treatment of a patient. Attending the sessions were many guests from our own Board of Trustees, the Women's Auxiliary Board, and other hospitals and social agencies. Com- ments from many who attended attested to the valuable contribution made by the Hospital in affording this opportunity. Also, five of the seven papers pre- pared for the occasion have been accepted for publication in leading social work journals and the other two are being considered for publication. The success of the observance owes a great deal to the generous help given by the Women's Auxiliary Board, the Board of Trustees, representatives of the med- ical and administrative staffs, Social Service's own staff and the many Hospital departments that provided facilitating services. To all of them goes our real appreciation for making the anniversary celebration a deep and rewarding experience.

Services Relating to Patient Care

Our major service continued to be social casework for the individual patient and his family. During the year, 27,512 interviews were held with 3,658 patients. Caseworkers held 8,828 conferences with physicians. Contacts with social agencies totaled and> i tn otner rou s a interviews and con- 6,557 w g P > 2,935 m ^> 45,832 ferences by casework staff. In addition, almost 1,000 informational and consul- tation services were given and case aides held 4,485 interviews on 3,067 patients. Behind those figures are the people we serve. Difficult social and emotional problems complicate their recovery from illness. The range of social problems is broad—inability to face the limitations of illness or of a handicap, parent-child and other personal relationship problems, overcrowded housing, concern regarding

59 THE SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT

medical care, need for a change in employment owing to physical restrictions, etc. There were a number of problems requiring special emphasis on rehabili- tation in line with the Hospital's increasing focus on this area. Considerable casework service was needed for patients and their families. We also worked with many agencies offering rehabilitative services. Our relationship with the Hospital's Rehabilitation Workshop has been of particular significance. We have worked with the Workshop director to clarify the social and rehabilitative goal to be set for individual patients in the Workshop program. Periodic conferences have provided a means of testing those goals and deciding on next steps. Many patients who live in the neighborhood come from different cultures and have not yet adjusted to the demands and pressures they find in this community. These patients need an opportunity to express their feelings and help in facing problems aggravated or created by illness. Our department is working to gain a better knowledge of their culture and language, so that we may be better equipped to assist them. We are also finding more older patients coming to our wards and clinics. In line with the community's general interest in geriatrics, we have learned a great deal about working with the older group. Better casework relationships have made it possible to sustain many of these patients in their own home and to help them live the remainder of their lives as fully as possible. Many gaps exist in community planning for the aged and we have been working with other agencies to help meet them. Most referrals to our department come from our physicians. Others are made by the nursing staff, administration, patients and their families, and outside agencies. An increase in sound referrals from the medical staff shows that the physician, with whom we work most closely in the care of the patient, is gaining a better understanding of the role of social service. A close relationship is de- veloping on many services among the doctor, nurse and social worker. The development of better administrative tools has contributed considerably to more efficient departmental operation and, accordingly, better patient care. We revised the statistical system, purchased new dictating equipment, began develop- ing a policy and procedure manual, and employed an administrative assistant to help us move in this direction.

Participation in Education

The Social Service Department continued to be closely involved in educa- tional activities. Social Service staff meetings and unit conferences—many of them making use of papers from the 50th anniversary observance—served to improve our practice and sharpen our skills. The educational program for our lay group through the case committee meetings of the Women's Auxiliary Board continued. The lay committee reviewed with us examples of social work in the modern hospital and there was an excellent interchange of ideas regarding ouri program. For the seventh year, a unit of eight students from the New York School of Social Work, Columbia University, with a supervisor provided by the School, was assigned to our Psychiatric Division for field training. An additional student

60 THE SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT

from the same school and two from the New York University School of Social Work were assigned to our Pediatric Service. We have been asked to provide similar training for additional students from the New York School, from Hunter Adelphi, Fordham and the Atlanta School of Social Work. Each caseworker does informal teaching with the disciplines she works with. More formal sessions are held with student and charge nurses and the resident staff on some services. On one service, the caseworker has been meeting with physical therapists and nursing aides. We have also taken part in the training of administrative residents. The department was host to social workers from other parts of the country and abroad, who have come here to observe and discuss our work, exchange ideas and points of view, and help develop the programs in their own hospitals.

Community Activities

The department is involved in many community efforts dealing with nursing homes, chronic care facilities, psychiatric treatment, recreational services, housing and related matters. The department has been represented on committees of the former Welfare and Health Council of , United Hospital Fund, the New York Heart Association, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and other voluntary groups. The director, assistant director and staff members serve on advisory com- mittees of the New York City Health Department, the Council on Social Work Education, the editorial boards of the Journals of the Jewish Communal Service and the National Association of Social Workers, the Committee on Study of Fees in Psychiatric Clinics and other professional association committees.

The Next Fifty Years

Our 50th anniversary provided an opportunity for considerable stock-taking. We noted many developments and improvements on the asset side of the ledger. We also noted a number of areas that require additional work. We plan to develop our casework practice even further and will be devoting much effort to it in the coming year. We hope to work even more closely with our physicians and nurses to accomplish together an integrated approach to the patient. We expect also to expand our teaching responsibility and move in the direction of a research program in line with the interest of the total hospital. The first fifty years were not easy, but they served us well and enable us to imove forward with a sense of maturity and confidence. The kind of support given the Social Service Department by the Women's Auxiliary Board, the Board of Trustees, the director of the Hospital and the administration, and by the med- ical, nursing and other professional people with whom we work, portends well for the next fifty years.

62 THE WOMEN'S AUXILIARY BOARD

FOR the Women's Auxiliary Board, the 50th anniversary of the Social Service Department held more than neighborly significance. Though junior by ten years, we have grown up side by side with our professional colleagues in an unusually close relation of kinship, historical as well as developmental. Our original name, the Social Service Auxiliary, reflected clearly our early and major ; interest in the department.

A Parallel Development

We have extended our activities into many other areas through the years, but the concern of our Board with the growth and development of the department

1 has remained constant, as we have taken our part in shaping the policies that

I have contributed to that growth. The Board's ability to contribute constructively has been strengthened by a continuing program of education in casework practice, lind of interpretation and discussion of the goals of the department, conducted by |:he director and her associates at our Case Committee meetings. It was therefore with a sense of shared pride that we entered with the de- Dartment into many months of preparation for the anniversary celebration on |!3ctober 18. All the working committees were composed jointly of lay and staff nembers, with every member both of the board and of the department taking Dart. It is as it should be that the report of the Social Service Department covers

I .he event more fully, for the honors are the department's, and Miss Doris Siegel's n particular. For all of us, there was the deepest satisfaction in the heightened iwareness that came out of our working together. The Women's Board was host on the eve of the sessions to the Social Service Department at an informal supper at the Harmonie Club. It was a family

iffair in every sense, with husbands attending, and with delightful skits put on

>y both board and staff in which, in true family style, each took off the other's ay or professional idiosyncrasies, as well as its own. The spirit and gaiety of this Darty were a successful prelude to the more serious celebration of the following lay. In tribute to the department, the members of the Women's Board con- ributed $14,340 to a 50th Anniversary Fund which will be used to advance some pecial project in social service. Because of our emphasis on the 50th anniversary, and for a number of

ontributing reasons, it was decided to omit in this year's report the customary ummaries of individual committee reports. In referring now to certain activities, do so for the particular purpose of noting specific innovation or change.

Committee Projects

The Rehabilitation Workshop Committee has found it increasingly difficult obtain adequate space on a temporary rental basis for the "Green Box," its

63 WOMEN'S AUXILIARY BOARD

shop for articles made in the Workshop, customarily open for about two months through the holiday season. Finding that an advantageous lease could be acquired on the attractive premises at 1022 Lexington Avenue which the "Green Box" occupied this season, the committee decided, with Hospital approval, to! renew the lease for the coming full year and, tentatively, to operate the shop on a half-day schedule through the spring. The rent is being contributed through the generosity of the committee members, and the Women's Board has given

assurance of limited financial support toward an operating loss should it occur during the trial period. We shall follow this undertaking with interest and with our wholehearted wishes for its success. In accordance with prior planning between the administration and the Children's Recreation Committee, the recreation program for children has been integrated within the Hospital's Recreation Department, with supervisory func-i tions transferred to its director, and with our committee retaining a liaison and advisory function similar to that exercised by our Adult Recreation Committee. Reference was made in last year's report to a one-year grant from the United Hospital Fund for an experimental recreation program to serve waiting patients in the adult clinics. The grant provided for the salary of a part-time] worker and stipulated the use of volunteer assistance. A committee of the Women's Board followed the development of the project through this year, and

participated with the administration in its final evaluation and conclusion. It was agreed that positive value had been demonstrated in relieving the tension^ and anxiety of the patients during their waiting period, but that such a program could not be sustained or expanded on the basis of volunteer service on the scale that would be required. A full report is being sent to the United Hospital Fund by the Outpatient Department administrator with an expression of our thanks for having sponsored this valuable experiment. The Women's Board hopes triad

the Hospital will find it possible to inaugurate such a program at some future time. The Women's Board gave a party for Mrs. Walter A. Hirsch in April, after! she had completed five years as president of the Auxiliary. This was our meansi of expressing to her the warmth of our affection and our gratitude for the quality of her leadership. My first year was lightened by the strength of the Board itself, and by the sense of mutual understanding and purpose that underlies our close relationship! with the director of the Hospital and his associates in administration and with! the Social Service director and her staff.

THE department continued to grow and function on a highly professional level, reflecting advances made by the volunteer movement as a whole. This was evidenced by a stronger office administration, a more active Volunteer Committee and by a higher level of performance by the volunteers themselves. The department initiated a project called the "Hostess Program." All patients entering the Private Pavilion are greeted warmly by volunteers and escorted to their rooms. This is in line with the Hospital's emphasis on treating each patient as an individual with many needs.

Community Contact

The department has related itself more closely to community agencies. Contact with the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies, United Hospital Fund, the Central Volunteer Bureau and Red Cross, and frequent meetings with repre- sentatives of other hospitals stimulate new ideas and techniques. Conferences with high schools and colleges encourage students to become active in volunteer service on a year-round basis. High school students from Bentley, Dalton, New Lincoln and Columbia Grammar now work regularly in the Hospital. College students from Bard, Bennington, New York University and Sarah Lawrence receive field work credit for their experience here. In September, 19 Columbia University Freshmen reported for service in the Hospital on "Help Day," a city-wide student activity. This was a demon- stration of the new trend to promote interest among students in the work of health and welfare agencies. The department makes it possible for people of all ages—from students to "Golden Age" groups—to participate in the Hospital's program. A special group from the Yorkville Neighborhood Club now makes toy animals for the children in the wards. These animals become mascots during hospitalization and may be taken home upon discharge.

The Red Shield Center joined the list of "Golden Age" clubs in community organizations that package surgical dressings for the Hospital in their own headquarters. The combined effort of these clubs supplies the Hospital with approximately 65,000 units per month. This formidable productivity attests to the enthusiasm of older people for useful work.

65 THE VOLUNTEER DEPARTMENT

Record Services

The Volunteer Department presented to the East Harlem Day Center and the William Hodson Community Center a special certificate of award in recogni- tion of six months of service. The certificate had previously been awarded to the other three clubs. The department also honors the clubs with a spring party at their respective headquarters. The volunteers who work in the Hospital are the heart of the department. Their record of 55,000 hours of service in 1956, an increase of 11,000 hours over 1955, is an impressive one. The annual event in honor of the volunteers was a cocktail party to which board members, administration and staff were also invited. Mr. Joseph Klingen- stein, the president of the Hospital, and Dr. Martin R. Steinberg, the director, expressed appreciation of the volunteers' effective work and their devotion to the Hospital. Mrs. Goldie Bromberg, director of volunteers, presented the Mount Sinai Hospital service pins. The department maintains an enrollment each month of 250 in-service volunteers. The volunteer in the turquoise smock is a familiar and welcome figure throughout the Hospital. She signifies assistance to the staff, comfort to the patient and a vital link with the community.

7° NEUSTADTER CONVALESCENT CENTER

IN contrast to the exceptional number of personnel changes that took place in 1955, Neustadter was fortunate last year in maintaining a firm organization. The resultant improved sense of security and morale of the staff seemed to have benefited our patients not only in their medical care but also in many of the less tangible ways that are of such great importance on the road back to health.

Staff and Service

Comments from patients and their families were extremely favorable on virtually every phase of our operation from nursing care to housekeeping. To help improve service to patients on special diets, we appointed a graduate of the New York Institute of Dietetics to serve a six-month apprenticeship as assistant to our dietitian, Miss Mildred Buck. Our application for government surplus food was approved and we now receive a monthly shipment. Much credit for the efficiency of our operations in 1956 must go to our new administrator, Mrs. Inez M. Johnson. She has devoted herself intelligently and unstintingly to Neustadter's best interests. Though many of the problems facing her on her arrival were not easy to resolve, she has handled them with a highly individual kind of tactful determination, and with excellent results. In October, Mrs. Edwin C. Vogel resigned as an active member of our Board. Happily for us, however, she agreed to become an honorary director. Dr. Herman Zazeela, returning to duty following his illness, gave the Center the same fine help to which he has accustomed us for so many years. Dr. Jacques Singer served faithfully as resident physician. We are grateful to him as well as to Dr. Howard Moscovitz and Miss Alice M. Haggerty for their work in connection with admissions. We thank Dr. George S. Naumburg, Jr. for his contributions as psychiatrist. Miss Olive B. Rathbun carried on the direction of the nursing service with characteristic dedication. Miss June Liston, a social service graduate of the Uni- versity of Dublin, while studying for an additional university degree, continued to look after our patients on a full-time basis. Mrs. Hedwig Planner and Miss Lily Elkan in occupational therapy were again of exceptional help.

Statistical Summary

Although the December census was unduly low even for the holiday season, Neustadter gave more days-care to more patients last year than in 1955—20,743 days to 970 patients in 1956, compared with 20,076 days to 939 patients in 1955. Three types of cases accounted for approximately half the patients treated, as follows: gastrointestinal, 222; cardiac, 152; and gynecological, 104. Cost per patient-day was $11.63 compared with $10.91 in 1955. Percentage of occupancy was 82.2 against 80.5 in 1955.

7i NEUSTADTER CONVALESCENT CENTER

The total cost of operating the Center was $234,656, compared with $214,756 in 1955, an increase of about $20,000. Salaries rose approximately $14,500 and operating expenses and supplies an additional $5,500. Our deficit was $69,718 compared with $64,265 for 1955, an increase of $5,453 or 8.49 per cent. Income from patients rose to $100,898 from $87,461 in 1955. Our patient rates, static for many years, were increased slightly in December. A number of necessary improvements were made, including new pantry equipment, new boiler tubes and a new roof for the staff porch. We also under- took a systematic plan for building upkeep, including painting and the more regular maintenance of furnishings and supplies. We are convinced that this "pay-as-you-go" policy will prove economical in the long run.

On behalf of the Board, I extend deep thanks to Dr. Martin R. Steinberg, director of Mount Sinai Hospital, for his valuable assistance throughout the year.

The Board's thanks also go to all members of our staff. I, personally, am sincerely grateful to my fellow-directors for their confidence, their wise counsel and their generous cooperation.

SERVICE AND COSTS FOR 1956 COMPARED WITH 1946 FIGURES

General Fund Fails to Keep Pace With Hospital's Dramatic Growth

Comparison of a few basic statistics will suffice to show how dramatically Mount Sinai Hospital has grown in the last decade, multiplying its services and its costs to bring the latest advances in medical science to more and more people.

% 1956 1946 Increase

Patient days 331,776 230,459 43.96 Number of emergency treatments 85,393 27,819 206.96 Number of employees 2,378 1,549 53.52 Cost of operating Hospital $10,302,127 $3,463,209 197.47

Size of capital plant to be maintained $27,259,563 $13,054,338 108.81

This remarkable expansion has created new financial burdens far beyond the scope of the Hospital's General Fund. The fund has not only failed to keep pace in the last ten years, but is actually lower today ($1,231,677) than it was twenty-five years ago

($1,260,000). The budget then was less than a fifth of the 1956 expenditure.

The General Fund is clearly inadequate to provide either the minimum margin of safety for present operation or the necessary

foundation for future development. Yet, from the standpoints of

public need and medical progress, the Hospital's outlook remains one of further obligatory expansion.

The Trustees of the Hospital emphasize again, therefore, the

urgent need for unrestricted capital gifts, the establishment of perpetual beds and other memorials, the naming of the Hospital

as beneficiary under will, and gifts to enable the Hospital to move

forward with its construction and replacement program.

The difference is the total philanthropic ex- pense for the year 2,470,317

This philanthropic expense was met in greater part by a major grant from the Federa- tion of Jewish Philanthropies, grants from the United Hospital Fund and the Greatar New York Fund and income from general endowment funds, leaving —to be met by the General Fund—a net deficit of $247,205

Approximately $9,002,000 was spent in the care of 24,317 in-patients and 4,917 newborn infants. More than 47% of over 330,000 days-care was given free or part-free.

Approximately $ 1 ,025,000 was spent in the Hospital's 95 outpatient clinics, for care of needy patients. Approximately $275,000 was spent for social service work for 3,259 patients, to help solve economic and social problems which prolonged illness so often involves.

220 Extracts from the Constitution on Establishment of Life, Memorial and Perpetual Beds and Other Funds

Life Bed

A Contribution of $2,500 to the General Fund of the Hospital, if accepted by the Board of Trustees, shall establish a Life Bed. Such a contribution shall entitle the donor thereof, during his or her lifetime, to name a patient from time to time to use and occupy one bed in the general wards of the main Hospital.

Memorial Bed

A Contribution of $3,500 to the General Fund of the Hospital, if accepted by the Board of Trustees, shall establish a Memorial Bed. Such a contribution shall entitle the donor thereof, during his or her lifetime, to name a patient from time to time to use and occupy one bed in the main Hospital. Such donor may bequeath that right to a successor appointed by the said donor in his or her last will and testament, or by any other instrument under seal. In the event of such successor being appointed, the rights hereinbefore mentioned shall continue for a period of not over fifty years from the date of such contribution—such period, however, not to end before ten years from the death of the donor. When a corporation is the donor, the privilege shall expire at the end of twenty-five years from the date of such contribution.

Perpetual Beds—Children's Pavilion

A Contribution of $5,000 to the General Fund of the Hospital, if accepted by the Board of Trustees, shall establish a perpetual bed in the Children's Pavilion. Such contribution shall entitle the donor thereof, during his or her lifetime, to name a patient from time to time to use and occupy one bed in the wards of the Children's Pavilion. Such donor may bequeath that right to a successor appointed by said donor in his or her last will and testament or by any other instrument under seal.

Perpetual Beds—Adults

A Contribution of $7,500 to the General Fund of the Hospital, if accepted by the Board of Trustees, shall establish a Perpetual Bed, but where, under the provision of any will executed prior to March 20, 1921, the sum of $5,000 or more is bequeathed to the Hospital in payment of any Perpetual Bed, the Board of Trustees may, at their option, accept such sum in payment of such Perpetual Bed. Such contribution shall entitle the donor thereof, during his or her lifetime, to name a patient from time to time to use and occupy one bed in the general wards of the main Hospital. Such donor may bequeath that right to a suc- cessor appointed by said donor in his or her last will and testament, or by any other instrument under seal.

221 EXTRACTS FROM THE CONSTITUTION

In the event of such successor being appointed, the rights hereinbefore men- tioned shall continue for a period of not over fifty years from the date of such contribution, provided, however, that such period shall be extended so that it shall in no event end until ten years after the death of the donor.

When a corporation is the donor, the privilege shall expire at the end of twenty-five years from the date of such contribution.

Tablets

Tablets to commemorate the establishment of Life and Memorial Beds shall be placed in designated areas, subject to the rules of the Hospital. Tablets for Life Beds shall be maintained during the life of the donor, tablets for Memorial Beds for a period not beyond fifty years from the date of their establishment, such a period, however, not to end before ten years from the death of the donor. The establishment of a Perpetual Bed shall be commemorated by a tablet pro- vided for that purpose in the corridor of the Hospital; such tablets shall be maintained in perpetuity.

Change of Life Bed to Memorial, etc.

A donor may change a Life Bed established by him or her to a Memorial Bed by making an additional contribution of $1,000, or to a Perpetual Bed by making an additional contribution of $5,000. He may change a Memorial Bed to a Perpetual Bed by making an additional contribution of $4,000. No patient shall occupy a Life, Memorial or Perpetual Bed unless he shall comply with the current rules of the Hospital and be a proper subject for treat- ment according to its regulations.

Endowment Funds

An endowment for the establishing of any special fund may be accepted by a resolution of the Board of Trustees. Such fund may be created either for a special purpose, in which event the income therefrom shall be devoted to such purpose only, or under the name of one or more persons, in which event the income therefrom shall be devoted to the general purposes of the Hospital. Such endowment funds shall be kept by the Treasurer as special accounts. Contribu- tions to existing funds may be made at any time, but no funds shall be created with an initial endowment of less than Ten Thousand Dollars.
