Box 551301 • Davie, FL 33355 Phone: 305-804-1150 • Fax: 954-252-2093 Website: www.ada1.org • Email: [email protected] Preface Election to the American Dermatological Association is one of the greatest honors that a dermatologist might achieve in his or her lifetime. Over the past 144 years, only 1127 dermatologists have had the honor of membership. Many of our founders trained in Europe. They gained a foothold in the House of Medicine in the United States because of their expertise in syphilology. To recognize the specific skill set possessed by dermatologists, members of the ADA established the dermatology section within the American Medical Association in 1887, the American Board of Dermatology in 1932 the 4th member of the newly established American Board of Medical Specialties, the Society of Investigative Dermatology in 1937 and the American Academy of Dermatology in 1938. Dermatologists are now respected as members of the medical community. ADA members have been and remain at the forefront of immunologic, oncologic, surgical, cosmetic, and pathology research. Medical students covet dermatology residencies and only the most successful, well- rounded are successful in matching into our field. One thing we must always do is treasure the contributions of those who came before us. To that end, David Pariser, MD, ADA Historian (2013-present), has done a phenomenal job studying the materials in the ADA Archives, and has written the history contained in this tome. As we stand on the shoulders of the Founders and the generations of dermatology leaders that followed them, we continue to feel the pressure to advance our field. Our annual meeting will continue to be a place where we review the latest dermatologic research, renew acquaintances, and discuss new concepts that will enhance the health of our patients and the population in general. We will continue to develop and propagate position statements designed to improve the well-being of the public. In addition, members of the ADA have been at the forefront of caring for patients of all races, ethnicities, genders and sexual orientations, and improving dermatologic outcomes for people of color. Finally, we will stand side-by-side to bear the weight of future generations of dermatologists who will take our specialty to greater heights. We teach. We perform research. We lead. We are committed to training the future leaders of dermatology, increasing diversity and upholding justice and equality within the House of Medicine and society in general. Notice the twinkle in the eyes of the members in the pages of this book. That will provide you with confidence that the state of dermatology has been and will continue to be STRONG. With warm regards, Brian Berman, MD, PhD, President, 2020-21 Jeffrey P. Callen, MD, President 2021-22 Robert T. Brodell, MD, Secretary-Treasurer, 2016-22 Illustrated History of the American Dermatological Association 3 Acknowledgements From the earliest days of the American Dermatological Association, the recording of its history has been important to the identity of the Association. It currently falls to the Historian to catalog and preserve the records of this, the oldest national dermatological society in the United States. The Board and Officers, both current and past have encouraged this effort and several merit special recognition. Some have made calls to members to encourage them to provide their biographies or even written the biographies themselves. Foremost is Dr. Antoinette Hood. Not only is Toni an eagle-eyed proofreader, but she has helped greatly with much of the content of the biographies, particularly making sure that we have as much up-to-date information as possible. Julie Odessky, the Association’s Executive Manager, has doggedly pursued getting up-to-date biographies from our current members who did not respond to multiple requests. You wouldn’t believe how hard it is for many of our members to provide the simple timely information requested and Julie has spent countless hours emailing, calling and otherwise pestering members. Our Secretary-Treasurer Bob Brodell helped get the last few biographies and was instrumental in getting us “over the line” by personally writing some of the “delinquent” biographies. Bob has also been very supportive in allocating the financial resources to see this project come to completion. Several past presidents including Lowell Goldsmith, Al Kopf, Gene (and Gloria) Bauer, Evan Farmer, Rex Amonette, Wilma Bergfeld, Brian Berman, Toni Hood and Darrell Rigel have provided information and content for the History. Special thanks to David Cohen who championed the ADA’s “pivot” to focus the Association’s efforts on the value of Dermatology within the house of Medicine and the threat of marginalization of the specialty. David provided some of the content for the history chapter of this volume. On a personal note, spending many hours sifting through the Archives and reading the entire record of minutes from 1876 to the present has given me an almost personal acquaintance with some of the great names in the illustrious past of our Association and specialty. I have also gotten to know many of our contemporaries in a new light. I hope the readers of this volume will derive as much pleasure by perusing it as I have by compiling it. David M.

Illustrated History of the American Dermatological Association 7 The American Dermatological Association was founded on September 7, 1876 George Henry Fox, Lucious Duncan Bulkley, Louis A. Duhring, Isaac E. Atkinson, Lunsford P. Yandell, and Edward Wigglesworth met at a meeting of the Section of Practical Medicine of the American Medical Association (AMA) on June 7, 1876, and decided to form a national society of physicians with a special interest in Dermatology. Isaac E. Atkinson (Fig. 5) was a graduate of the University of Maryland in 1865 and the first clinical professor of Dermatology in Baltimore. He was the dean of the medical school from 1886 to 1900 and his published articles were mostly about syphilis. Atkinson was also the author of the “Report of the Lunacy Commission” to the governor of Maryland in 1902. Writing in the Archives of Dermatology and Syphilology in 1926, George Henry Fox described Atkinson as “keen and clearly expressed views on all vexed questions.” Fig. 5. Isaac E. Atkinson (1846-1906). Lucius Duncan Bulkley (Fig. 6) (whose father Henry Daggett Bulkley [1803-1872] is credited with being the first American dermatologist) studied at L’Hôpital Saint-Louis in Paris. He was associated with Columbia Physicians and Surgeons from 1869 and also attended at the “Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled.” The younger Bulkely founded the New York Skin and Cancer Hospital in 1883, where he was a frequent lecturer. Bulkley was president of the New York Dermatological Society (NYDS) in 1880 although he later resigned from the NYDS in 1914. He is credited with the formation of the Section of Dermatology and Syphilology of the AMA in 1888. Fig 6. Lucius Duncan Bulkley (1845-1928). Louis Adolphus Duhring (Fig. 7) studied dermatology in Vienna with Hebra, (also in Berlin, London, and Paris and studied leprosy in Constantinople and Norway) and was associated for his entire career with the University of Pennsylvania. He published the third American textbook on cutaneous diseases and, according to George Henry Fox, had the “meticulous manner of a fine gentleman, not easy of approach, but a genial easy companion”.

  • Law and the Emerging Profession of Photography in the Nineteenth-Century United States
    Photography Distinguishes Itself: Law and the Emerging Profession of Photography in the Nineteenth-Century United States Lynn Berger Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Lynn Berger All rights reserved ABSTRACT Photography Distinguishes Itself: Law and the Emerging Profession of Photography in the 19th Century United States Lynn Berger This dissertation examines the role of the law in the development of photography in nineteenth century America, both as a technology and as a profession. My central thesis is that the social construction of technology and the definition of the photographic profession were interrelated processes, in which legislation and litigation were key factors: I investigate this thesis through three case studies that each deal with a (legal) controversy surrounding the new medium of photography in the second half of the nineteenth century. Section 1, “Peer Production” at Mid-Century, examines the role of another relatively new medium in the nineteenth century – the periodical press – in forming, defining, and sustaining a nation-wide community of photographers, a community of practice. It argues that photography was in some ways similar to what we would today recognize as a “peer produced” technology, and that the photographic trade press, which first emerged in the early 1850s, was instrumental in fostering knowledge sharing and open innovation among photographers. It also, from time to time, served as a site for activism, as I show in a case study of the organized resistance against James A.

  • The Seventh Annual Healthgrades Hospital Quality in America Study
    The Seventh Annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study Is Geography Our Health Destiny? October 2004 The Seventh Annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study Is Geography Our Health Destiny? Executive Summary Since 1998, HealthGrades has studied the quality of care at the nation’s nearly 5,000 hospitals and published the results of its annual research on the Web to assist consumers in choosing a hospital. For the first part of this study, the Seventh Annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study analyzed the most recent three years of risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates available and provides each hospital with a one-, three- or five-star quality rating for each of more than 25 procedures and diagnoses, from heart attack to knee replacement to pneumonia. This study shows considerable differences in quality among the nation’s hospitals. Results of the seventh annual study are available at www.healthgrades.com. For the second part of this study, HealthGrades analyzed the quality of hospital care for the 25 most heavily populated metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) [including consolidated metropolitan statistical areas (CMSAs)]1. This analysis, comparing risk-adjusted mortality rates for Medicare patients from 2000 to 2003, found that inhospital mortality rates have declined significantly, although the degree of quality improvement varied significantly by metropolitan areas across cardiac diagnoses and procedures and the treatment of pneumonia. The diagnoses and procedures covered by this study include: · Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG) · Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) · Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) - Heart Attack · Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) · Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) Key findings of this study include: 1.

FOX 1899 Union Printing Company St. Joseph, Mo. DEDICATION. To the many kind friends of our name and race who have manifested their interest in this work by contribut- ing to its pages biographical sketches and records, this history of the Fox family is respectfully dedicated. N. M. FOX. Humble voyagers are we O’er life’s dim unsounded sea Seeking only some calm clime Touch us gently, gently, time. —Proctor. Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/historyofthatparOOfoxn INTRODUCTION. About thirty years ago Hon. Henry H. Fox of Charleston, Mass., collected material for a history of that part of the Fox family descended from Thomas Fox, who emigrated from England about 1635 and settled at Cambridge, Mass. Hon. H. H. Fox corresponded with many persons belonging to different branches of the family while collecting the records necessary for his work and in some instances sent sketches of the results of his researches to parties who had given him assistance. Great interest was felt by all the descendants of the emigrant above named, as it was supposed we were about to have an authentic history of our part of the Fox family. These expectations were destroyed by the death of the author before his book was ready for publication. No one has seen fit to complete, arrange and bring out the work, yet the labor of the author was not entirely lost, as it awakened an interest in family history that caused many of those with whom he corresponded to retain copies of the record collected at that time and thenceforth to note the changes that occurred in their respective families.
