Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been practiced and used in this country continuously since the nineteenth century.2 All of the forms of care present then are still present today including botanical medicine (“Thomsonians”), health food (“Grahamites”), homeopathy, hydrotherapy, healing touch (“mesmerists”), osteopathy, naturopathy, chiropracty, and Christian Science.3 In the 192...

During the past four decades the participation of women in medicine has increased dramatically. This study is focused on the women's participation in authorship of articles published in the Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, the official Journal of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology. The articles were analyzed according to the number of articles and sex of both first and the senior (last) authors. ...

In 1945, Dirac attempted to develop a “formal probability” distribution to describe quantum operators in terms of two noncommuting variables, such as position x and momentum p [Rev. Mod. Phys. 17, 195 (1945)]. The resulting quasiprobability distribution is a complete representation of the quantum state and can be observed directly in experiments. We measure Dirac’s distribution for the quantum ...

Up to 1945 reports of the treatment of bacterial endocarditis with penicillin were disappointing. Early in that year, however, more encouraging results were obtained with larger doses, and it became urgently necessary to determine the optimum dosage. With this end in view a committee was set up by the Penicillin Clinical Trials Committee with Professor R. V. Christie as secretary and representa...

Newman estimated that 42 per cent of the decline in mortality in Sri Lanka between 1930-1945 and 1946-1960 was attributable to DDT-spraying; Molineaux estimated 27 per cent; Gray judged that 23 per cent of the decline between 1936-1945 and 1946-1960 was due to DDT. Here the Newman-Gray-Molineaux approach is criticized, the main point being that they ignored a significant improvement in mortalit...

This paper is one of a series of papers in which I consider contemporary Yale medical education in general and the Yale Department of Epidemiology and Public Health in particular. It tells of the retirement in 1945 of C.-E.A. Winslow, Professor and Chairman of the Yale Department of Public Health since its inception in 1915; of the committees established by the dean of the School of Medicine an...
