    Transcribed from the Dublin Journal of Medical Science, Vol. LXXXII, July to December, 1886. TRANSACTIONS OF THE ULSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY. SESSION 1885-86. President—JOHN FAGAN, F.R.C.S.I. Hon. Secretary—JAMES A. LINDSAY, M.D., R.U.I Wednesday, June 2, 1886. Sketch of the Ulster Medical Society and its Presidents. By ROBERT ESLER, M.D., Belfast. IN a paper which I read before the Ulster Medical Society in January, 1885,I gave some account of medical matters in Belfast during a period of two centuries.* That paper concluded with a hope that, on a future occasion, I should be enabled to ask this Society to accept the custody of the portraits of its former presidents. It is with that pleasing object we have now met. The Ulster Medical Society was constituted on May 4th, 1862, by the amalgamation of the Belfast Medical Society—a Society which had been in existence from 1806—with the Clinical and Pathological Society, which was originated in 1853 by Dr. Malcolm. Another Society, called the Ulster Medical Protective Association, with Dr. W. M'Gee as President, and Dr. Samuel Browne as Secretary, was in active operation up to that time. It is also merged into the new Society. For our present purpose it will be necessary to ante-date the union by a few years, so as to include some of the presidents of the old association who had been instrumental in the formation of the Ulster Medical Society. The first portrait to be uncovered is that of Dr. Thomas Reade.

  • The History Ulster Medical Society
    [Reprinted from the Ulster Medical Journal, Volume XXXVI, Summer 1967] THE HISTORY of the ULSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY by R. W. M. STRAIN B.Sc., M.D., Ph.D., F.R.C.P.I. ADDRESS delivered to THE ULSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY 9th FEBRUARY, 1967 Prepared at the request of the Council Introduction THIS is quite literally two papers. When the Council of the Ulster Medical Society invited the writer to bring R. H. Hunter's account of its history up to date, it was to cover a period entirely within his own membership of the Society, and he had at his disposal primary sources of information in the Minutes of the Society, of the Council and of the Trustees of the Whitla Medical Institute. As it was 30 years since Richard Hunter delivered his address to the Society, and outside the experience of many of the present Fellows and Members, the author was further asked to review the entire span of the Society's existence. For this latter purpose there was no need to go deeper than the secondary sources of information already available, and reference to these is made in the bibliographical note at the end of this communication. Peace, it is said, is indivisible. So too, it is difficult to separate the history of the Society from that of the community it serves or from the activities and person- alities of its individual members. Selection is both difficult and invidious. On this occasion it is nice to be able to say that if any one disagrees with the landmarks the writer has selected, he can lay the blame on the Council for inviting him to take on this task.

  • Rssacongress Levovist Presentations
    REPORT BACI< RSSACongress levovist presentations September 99 Dr Pat Morton, consultant radiologist, City Park Hospital, Cape Town, presented his findings on the use of Levovist for the detection of cancer in the prostate gland. He described his experience with endorectal ultrasound of the prostate and the difficulties in detecting early cancer. He demonstrated his technique for using Levovist to improve the specificity of the examination. As the product enhances the vascularity of solid organs, such as the prostate, focal lesions are more easily detected after its administration. The optimum enhancement is attained with a slow infusion of Levovist over 2 to 3 minutes while scanning. This requires an assistant or an injector pump. Dr Morton believes that the product improves the sensitivity of the examination in difficult cases, however the examination takes longer to perform. Professor Corr, radiologist from King Edward Hospital, Durban and the University of Natal presented his work on the applications of Levovist for improving the specificity of liver lesions, the detection of portal vein patency and renal artery stenosis. Levovist is useful to improve the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound examinations of the liver when focal cancer and inflammatory disease is suspected. Levovist can reliably differentiate hypervascular focal lesions such as hepatoma from hypovascular metastases and abscesses. Itis very useful in difficult cases where portal vein stenosis or occlusion is suspected, and greatly improves detection of renovascular stenosis in difficult cases with suboptimal visualisation of the renal arteries. Both presenters felt more local research was required and the cost effectiveness of the use of Levovist must be assessed compared to other investigations such as MR and CT.

  • In Three British Teaching Hospitals, 1890-99
    Medical Historv, 1995, 39: 35-60 Listerism, its Decline and its Persistence: the Introduction of aseptic surgical Techniques in three British Teaching Hospitals, 1890-99 T H PENNINGTON* The view that Joseph Lister's introduction of antisepsis was a revolutionary act is an old one. Thus John Tyndall wrote in 1881 "Living germs . as Schwann was the first to prove, are the causes of putrefaction. Lister extended the generalization of Schwann from dead matter to living matter, and by this apparently simple step revolutionized the art of surgery. He changed it, in fact, from an art into a science."' Watson Cheyne, Lister's assistant in Edinburgh and King's College Hospital, London, continued the theme in his exhaustive monograph on antiseptic surgery.2 His book not only apotheosizes Listerism as practised at the beginning of the 1880s, but marks its apogee, as antisepsis underwent no fundamental change-in principle-thereafter, despite major technical developments such as the abandonment of the spray and the substitution of mercurial antiseptics for carbolic acid. Indeed, from the middle of the decade a rapidly increasing proportion of the innovations in wound treatment and operative techniques aimed at the prevention of infection were deliberately characterized by their describers not as antiseptic, but as aseptic. What was the nature of this shift from antisepsis to asepsis?3 Was it a seamless, evolutionary development, as epitomized by Schimmelbusch in the preface of his book on asepsis-"the present work is nothing more than an extension of that beneficient idea *Professor T H Pennington, Department of Medical purposes. In the 1 880s Cheyne used "aseptic" in a Microbiology, University of Aberdeen, Medical completely different sense, to categorize Listerian School, Foresterhill, Aberdeen AB9 2ZD.
