  • Matthew Baillie Gairdner, the Royal Medical Society and the Problem of the Second Heart Sound
    HISTORY MATTHEW BAILLIE GAIRDNER, THE ROYAL MEDICAL SOCIETY AND THE PROBLEM OF THE SECOND HEART SOUND M. Nicolson, Senior Lecturer, Centre for the History of Medicine, University of Glasgow, and J. Windram, Senior House Officer, Cardiology Department, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh SUMMARY In 1830, Matthew Baillie Gairdner (1808–88) was the first to propose that the second heart sound was produced by the closure of the semilunar valves. He proposed this theory, while a student at Edinburgh University, in an oral presentation to the Royal Medical Society (RMS). Gairdner (Figure 1) has been largely ignored by both nineteenth and twentieth century historians of cardiology. This paper presents an account of his life, his discovery and the scientific controversy to which he contributed, and argues that an appreciation of his work and that of his student colleagues should cause us to re-evaluate the significance of the RMS as a research forum in the early nineteenth century. FIGURE 1 Suggestions are made as to why his contribution to our Matthew Baillie Gairdner. From: A.

  • Changing Pattern of Epidemic Dropsy in North India
    Epidemic Dropsy in North India N. Sharma et al. ORIGINAL ARTICLE Changing Pattern of Epidemic Dropsy in North India NAVNEET SHARMA1,*, NAINA MOHAN 2, ASHISH BHALLA1, AMAN SHARMA1, SURJIT SINGH 1 1 The Department of Internal Medicine, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India 2 King's College London, Strand, London, United Kingdom Abstract Background: Epidemic dropsy occurs due to ingestion of mustard oil contaminated with oil from Argemone mexicana, leading to edema and tenderness of the abdomen, upper and lower limbs. In this study, clinical profiles of patients presented with epidemic dropsy in north India are described. Methods: This was a prospective study of patients presented with epidemic dropsy to the emergency department of Nehru Hospital, during the period from March 2004 to December 2011. Inclusion criteria were patients presenting with tender bilateral pitting leg edema and dermal telangiectasia. Clinical and laboratory data of patients were entered into case record forms at the time of presentation until discharge from the hospital. Results: Leg edema was the principal symptom in our series, and was in concurrence with current literature. Erythema has only been reported in 35-82% of published series, though it was present in all of our patients. Similarly, features such as diarrhea, hepatomegaly and anemia were more frequent in our cases compared to the literature. Furthermore, pancytopenia which was documented on peripheral blood counts in 54% of our cases has never been reported before. Conclusion: Epidemic dropsy should be considered in patients presenting with progressive erythema, edema, and tenderness of the limbs who had a history of consumption of mustard oil and confirmation of Argemone oil contamination according to laboratory tests.

    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

(Resolution of the Royal College of Physicians of London, 25 Oct. 1888.) That subject to the general provisions of Bye-law 190 the College desires so to interpret its Bye-law, Regulations, and Resolutions, as no longer to prohibit the official connection of Fellows and Members with medical institutes, though financed by a company, provided there be no other financial relation than the acceptance of a fixed salary or of fees for medical attendance on a fixed scale, irrespective of the total amount of the profits of the Company. (Resolution of the Royal College of Physicians of London, 1922, replacing the Resolution of 1888.) No Fellow or Member of the College shall be engaged in trade, or dispense medicines, or make any engagement with a Pharmacist [altered from Chemist] or any other person for the supply ofmedicines, or practise Medicine or Surgery in partnership, by deed or otherwise, or be a party to the transfer of patients or of the goodwill of a practice to or from himself for any pecuniary consideration.

  • Lucy Wills Honored by Google Doodle for Changing Prenatal Care Forever
    Lucy Wills Honored by Google Doodle for Changing Prenatal Care Forever Google Doodle honors Lucy Wills on what would have been her 131st birthday for her work that changed prenatal care forever. Born in 1888 near Birmingham, England, Lucy Wills became the one of the first women in the country in 1911 to get degrees in botany and geology from Cambridge University. While working in the U.K. during the 1920’s, Wills learned of the situation of poor female textile workers in India who were suffering from severe and often fatal forms of anemia during pregnancy. She decided to move her work to Mumbai, India to investigate and began researching why this was a growing issue. From the initial set-up of her research, Wills discovered that the anemia wasn’t caused by a pathogen by studying the stools of women. As she dug further into her investigation, Wills noticed that wealthier women weren’t showing signs of anemia as often, so Lucy Wills theorized that these symptoms could be linked to nutrition, or lack-there of . To continue her research, Wills studied rats. She found that there were two things that helped the rats: liver supplements and a British food spread called Marmite, which comes from brewer’s yeast and is exceptionally rich in B vitamins. Wills took these findings and started testing the effectiveness of these supplements on pregnant women in India. The results of both the liver and Marmite supplements were beyond positive. The Asia-Pacific Journal wrote that Wills’ findings and improvements seen in the patients Lucy Wills Honored by Google Doodle for Changing Prenatal Care Forever were “amazing” and that the women “experienced a quick return of appetite and an increase in the red cell count by the fourth day.” Lucy Wills findings were published in 1931 in the British Medical Journal.
