  • Harvey Cushing Neurosurgeon ( 1869 – 1939 )
    Harvey Cushing Neurosurgeon ( 1869 – 1939 ) Cushing was a neurosurgeon and a pioneer of brain surgery. He was widely regarded as the greatest neurosurgeon of the 20th century and often called the “father of modern neurosurgery”. Cushing was born in Cleveland, the youngest of ten children, and he was the fourth generation of his family to enter medi- cine. Cushing graduated from Yale in 1891, and received his M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1895. In 1896, he studied surgery under the guidance of a famous surgeon, William Stewart Hal- sted, at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore. Cushing married Katharine Stone Crowell in 1902. They had five children: two boys, William Harvey and Henry Kirke, and the three famous Cushing sisters: Mary Benedict Cushing, who mar- ried Vincent Astor and painter James Whitney Fosburgh; Betsey Cushing, wife successively of James Roosevelt, FDR’s oldest son, and JoHn Hay WhitneY; and Barbara Cushing, socialite wife of The illustration is Stanley Grafton Mortimer and WIlliam S.

Graduating in Medicine in 1868 he served as interne in Paris; and then studied ophthalmology in Vienna and Berlin, serving as assistant in the Clinic of A. von Graefe. Returning to Paris he became the Chief of Clinic for de Wecker; later he opened his own clinic, which grew and was subsequently located on Boulevard St. Germain.

For more than fifty years he was an important figure among the ophthalmologists of France. In 1876 he published his two volume treatise on diseases of the eye: Traité des maladies des yeux., 2 vols., Paris 1876-1877 and in 1881: Leçons de clinique ophthalmologique recueillies par le Dr. Parenteau. Paris 1881. Although not given to devising operations or instruments, he was known as a very A skilful operator. He contributed to the great many short, clinical papers, especially devoted to ocular therapeutics. Early he became interested in glaucoma. Abadie kept his preference for iridectomy, in all acute and inflammatory cases; and chronic glaucoma, chose miotics for principal treatment, and sympathectomy, or trephining, if operation finally necessary. He emphasized importance of the sympathetic nervous system in glaucoma and in some other ocular conditions; and recommended paracarotid sympathectomy for optic atrophy. While in de Wecker’s Clinic he urged the use of jequirity for trachoma. He always showed an active interest eye conditions attending diseases of central nervous system.

    PRESS RELEASE WINNERS ANNOUNCED 2001/1421H THE KING FAISAL NTERNATIONAL PRIZE FOR MEDICINE Topic: ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION The King Faisal International Prize in Medicine has been awarded to: Professor Sir Roy Yorke Calne Emeritus Professor of Surgery, University of Cambridge, UK Professor Norman Edward Shumway Professor and Chairman of Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, University of Stanford, California, USA Professor Thomas Earl Starzl Professor of Surgery, University of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, USA Professor Sir Roy Calne FRCS, FRS, Emeritus Professor of Surgery at the University of Cambridge, was born in the UK in 1930 and received his medical training at Guy's Hospital, London. Professor Calne later spent two years as a Research Fellow in Surgery at Harvard Medical School. Upon his return to UK he held surgical posts at St. Mary's and West minister Hospitals before he became Professor of Surgery at the University of Cambridge, a post which he held until he retired in 1998. Professor Calne is being honored for his pioneering experimental and clinical research on the use of immunosuppressive drugs and other aspects of transplantation, documented in more than 500 scientific papers. His work led to the introduction into clinical practice of 6- mercaptopurine (1960), azathioprine (1961) and, most importantly, cyclosporine (1970). Professor Calne's research on these drugs paved the way for heart, lung, liver, pancreas and kidney transplantation to become standard procedures throughout the world, thereby benefitting huge numbers of patients. Professor Caine also pioneered the use of monoclonal antibodies to prevent graft rejection, and made the seminal discovery that liver transplantation is of itself immunosuppressive.
