BULLETIN o f the Pierce County M edical Society 7 EDITORIALLY SPEAKING... Our hard working Pierce County Medical Society Auxiliary recently had an experience that is worthy of presentation. Due to unforseen circumstances they were forced to change the site of their rummage sale, held December 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and a sign to that effect was placed in the door. Subsequently Helen Kittridge received reports of some strange faces behind the counters accepting rummage from doctors’ wives. Investigation disclosed that another organization had taken over the space and altered the sign left so that no mention was made of the transfer of the Pierce County Medical Society Auxiliary to another location. The party that had taken over was found not to have a permit and the place was promptly locked up. However, the Auxiliary and what it supports suffered considerable loss. Instead of the previously— (last year) earned $1000 only $455 was taken in. These funds are used for scholarships for nurses and also “The American Medical Educational Foundation Fund.” It would seem that the Pierce County Medical Society Board of Trustees could support our Auxiliary and investigate with the thought of recovering loss, preventing misunderstanding with this organization and taking action to prevent recurrences of this situation. WM. W. MATTSON,JR., M.D. 8 BULLETIN o f the Pierce County M edical Society The Most Important Document You Will Ever Sign The most important document you will sound will. And the cost may not be great. ever sign, or should sign, is your Will. No matter how large or how small your estate, Special attention should be given to nam­ you should make a Will. Why? Because a ing a bank as executor, solely or jointly with will provides the greatest financial security your wife and/ or others.

Nothing about influenza is predictable, including where the next pandemic might emerge and which virus might be responsible.” WHO’s preparations to minimize the impact of influenza virus related disease cover a wide variety of activities that include surveillance of circulating viruses (in both birds and humans), supplying current circulating virus reagents for clinical diagnosis of cases, efforts to expand influenza vaccine production in lower and middle income countries and collaboration and support of trials to evaluate vaccines in people. The surveillance efforts are essential to identifying circulating viruses so subsequent control activities can be matched to the strain and clinical severity of the disease. In 2014, 142 laboratories in 112 countries joined together in what is known as the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System. The laboratories in that system tested more than 1.9 million clinical specimens. To speed the diagnostic capabilities for this rapidly changing infection, WHO supplies reagents capable of identifying the latest circulating viruses; for example for the 2009 when the H1N1 outbreak was declared a public health emergency, WHO shipped out diagnostic reagents to laboratories within seven days.

  • Week 6 AIDS Part
    Age of AIDS, Part Two. Scientific Breakthroughs National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland. >>NARRATOR: At the NIH, research scientists were trying to identify the mysterious agent that was causing the epidemic. >>DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: It was a period of evolving mystery. You couldn't see it, you look in the cells, you couldn't grow it, at least initially, and most everybody thought it was virus. >>NARRATOR: And many people thought that this man at the NIH, Dr. Robert Gallow, had a head start in the race to identify the virus. >>GEORGE SHAW, M.D. Ph.D.: I arrived in Bob Gallow's lab in 1983 and it was time of extraordinary excitement. >>NARRATOR: Four years earlier, Dr. Gallow had achieved a scientific breakthrough when he isolated a special virus, a retrovirus which caused leukemia. >>They were called HTLV 1 for human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 and HTLV Type 2. Those viruses were actually prime candidates for the cause of AIDS. >>NARRATOR: Dr. Gallow and his team, convinced the AIDS virus was related to the HTLV, began probing the blood from an AIDS patient, using the same techniques he had used to discover the leukemia virus. >>DR. GALLOW: We were looking for HTLV-relatedness. We were looking for the AIDS virus to be related to the leukemia virus, a retrovirus, same family, but different. >>NARRATOR: But when Gallow cultured T-cells blood from the AIDS patients, he could find no markers of the HTLV. For Gallow, the idea that the AIDS virus could be anything except a variation of the HTLV seemed unthinkable.

  • Dissertation Reconsidering Randy Shilts
    DISSERTATION RECONSIDERING RANDY SHILTS: EXAMINING THE REPORTAGE OF AMERICA’S AIDS CHRONICLER Submitted by Andrew E. Stoner Department of Journalism and Technical Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2013 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: James C. Landers Joseph E. Champ Patrick D. Plaisance Michael J. Hogan Richard Breaux Copyright by Andrew E. Stoner 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT RECONSIDERING RANDY SHILTS: EXAMINING THE REPORTAGE OF AMERICA’S AIDS CHRONICLER The role of openly-gay reporter and author Randy Shilts (1951-1994) is examined related to his use of journalistic practices and places him on a continuum of traditional reporting roles as considered in the context of twentieth century philosophers Walter Lippmann and John Dewey. Reporter functions demonstrated by Shilts are examined, including those dictated by expectations of either strong journalistic influence over society and media consumers, or those more aligned with democratic practices where education and participation emphasize strong roles for society and media consumers. Using a biographical approach including 17 primary source interviews of former colleagues, critics, sources and family/friends, the examination of Shilts’s work as both a reporter and noted author is presented as being heavily influenced by his forthcoming attitudes about disclosure of his sexual orientation from the start of his career and his desire to explain or unpack aspects of gay culture, and ultimately the AIDS crisis, to heterosexual audiences. Careful examination of the posthumous critique of Shilts’s work – including his construction of Patient Zero – is undertaken. The study concludes that Shilts fully engaged a Lippmann-esque approach embodied in an authoritarian role for journalism that sought to change the world in which it was offered, and did so perhaps most influentially during the earliest days of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in America.
