Introduction In spite of the stresses and strains of war work the health of the city was good during the year. While severe housing shortages and increases in meningococcus meningitis and diphtheria were present the city achieved new low records in its maternal mortality and infant mortality rates. The former had never before been below 2.0, nor the latter below 40 per 1,000 live births. A primary Health Department effort in housing and slum eradication went forward during the year with the adoption and enforcement of new regulations under city ordinance, the doubling of the housing inspector staff, the codification and publication of the ordinances and regulations, and particularly with the success in test cases in court where the new legal and administrative procedures were sustained. The City Housing Authority assisted on the constructive side by building well baby clinics into two new projects that were opened to house families of war industry workers. Some approach was made through official and nonofficial channels to a more adequate dissemination of needed information on the important problem of nutrition and the Health Department strengthened its Bureau of Public Health Nursing by the appointment of a well qualified educational director. Other major advances were the opening on December 1 of a long needed chest clinic for Negroes at the Druid Health Center, the first night sessions for working persons at all the Department chest clinics and [9] 10 REPORT OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT-1942 the new facilities for mass X-raying of contacts and special groups at the Druid Health Center and at the Eastern Health District. Late in the year a new public health and social agency known as the Baltimore Venereal Disease Council was organized under the auspices of the Baltimore Mobilization Committee.

Historians of molecular biology have long puz- X-ray crystallography zled over a remarkably similar photograph taken two years earlier by the physicist and pioneer of protein Molecular biology structure William T. Astbury. They have suggested that Astbury’s failure to capitalize on the photograph DNA to solve DNA’s structure was due either to his being too much of a physicist, with too little interest in or knowledge of biology, or to his being misled by an erroneous theoretical model of the gene. Drawing on previously unpublished archival sources, this paper offers a new analysis of Astbury’s relationship to the problem of DNA’s structure, emphasizing a previously overlooked element in Astbury’s thinking: his con- cept of biological specificity.

    0031-3998/03/5501-0163 PEDIATRIC RESEARCH Vol. 55, No. 1, 2004 Copyright © 2003 International Pediatric Research Foundation, Inc. Printed in U.S.A. SPECIAL ARTICLE A HISTORY OF PEDIATRIC SPECIALTIES This is the eighth article in our series on the history of pediatric specialties. Dr. Shulman describes the history of infectious diseases over the centuries. Many of these major killers of children were conquered by research that led to understanding the causes of these diseases and eventually to establishing means of prevention and treatment. Dr. Shulman also describes the organizations and publications that have furthered the development of treatment, research and education in this specialty. The future of this field includes the challenges of understanding and treating infectious diseases in immunocompromised children and in developing countries where infectious disease is still a major killer. The History of Pediatric Infectious Diseases STANFORD T.

ABSTRACT The history of Pediatric Infectious Diseases closely parallels (1933) all contributed to the evolution of the discipline of the history of Pediatrics at least until the last century, because Pediatric Infectious Disease, and numerous leaders of these historically infections comprised the major causes of childhood organizations had significant infectious diseases interests.

The papers represent, in large part, material gathered after McDermott joined the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in 1972. Additionally, Irma Sway, Dr. McDermott's secretary, was instrumental in saving several items from his days at Cornell University Medical College. These were added to the collection. Most of his early correspondence seems to have been discarded by Dr. McDermott. Biography Walsh McDermott was born in New Haven, Connecticut on October 24, 1909, the son of Dr. and Mrs. Terence McDermott. Although his father had attended Yale, in 1926 the son decided to leave New Haven and entered Princeton University where he spent four uneventful years, to quote him, graduating in 1930. He then attended Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons on a $1500 fellowship granted by the Leonard Schepp Foundation, receiving his M.D. degree in 1934. His internship at New York Hospital began that fall and he went on to serve as Assistant Resident in Medicine.

  • Notes About Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas
    Notes about Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Copyright © 2000–2009 by William Lee Anderson III. All rights reserved. Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Introduction During the 1700s many Scotch-Irish and German immigrants arrived in America. They and their children settled parts of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Today, most of their descendants never think about their heritage. Most live in the present, are working on real-life problems, or planning their future. That attitude was shared by their ancestor immigrants 250 years ago. Nonetheless, I suspect most descendants have at least wondered what the word Scotch-Irish means. All my life, I have heard various facts, but never understood how they fit together. Some facts appeared contradictory. So, I investigated, and discovered a colorful story that far exceeded my expectations. My principal objectives were to: Understand certain comments made by grandparents and other relatives over 40 years ago. Understand the confusing adjective Scotch-Irish. Understand the confusing cultural icons of bagpipes, kilts, Celtic whistles, etc. Understand the history of Moravian, Lutheran, Mennonite, Amish, Dunkards, Presbyterian, Puritanism, Huguenot, Quaker, Methodist, Congregational, and Baptist denominations that have churches in the Carolinas. Understand why and when surnames became common. Understand ancestor Margaret Moore‘s recollections of the Siege of Londonderry in 1689. Understand motivations of Scotch-Irish and German immigrants during the 1700s and terms of their Carolina land grants. Understand relations between early Carolina immigrants and Native Americans. Understand why Scotland‘s heroine Flora Macdonald came to live in North Carolina in 1774.
