James Mann, M.D. (1759-1832): Military Surgeon For The "Second War Of Independence"., Eliza C. Anderson, Md, Scott W. Cowan, Md, Charles J. Yeo, Md Jun 2016

James Mann, M.D. (1759-1832): Military Surgeon For The "Second War Of Independence"., Eliza C. Anderson, Md, Scott W. Cowan, Md, Charles J. Yeo, Md

Department of Surgery Gibbon Society Historical Profiles

The War of 1812 is remembered for the Burning of Washington, and Francis Scott Key’s “The Star Spangled Banner,” but little else. It was a poorly funded war of relatively short duration and nebulous resolution. Under such circumstances, it is understandable that the “Second War of Independence” failed to produce many notable military or medical advancements. However, one surgeon took it upon himself to recount his experiences in the field. For his dedication to the art and science of medicine, James Mann deserves recognition.

Department of Surgery Gibbon Society Historical Profiles

In the mid-19th century, the Vienna School of Anatomy was at the epicenter of the rapidly growing field of anatomy. One of the school’s most distinguished professors, Hungarian-born anatomist Emil Zuckerkandl was instrumental in transforming anatomy from a descriptive science to one of practical and clinical value. A prolific researcher interested in nearly all areas of morphology and most famously, the chromaffin system, Zuckerkandl’s discoveries from more than a century ago still provide a foundation for surgeons to this day.

Chao Yuanfang: Imperial Physician Of The Sui Dynasty And An Early Pertussis Observer?, Yan Liang, Abdulbaset M. Salim, Wendy Wu, Paul E. Kilgore

Department of Pharmacy Practice

Early Chinese texts contain extensive disease descriptions, including various texts that contain descriptions of modernday conditions. During the Sui Dynasty, a leading scholar, Chao Yuanfang, may have authored a leading treatise 1400 years ago. Although these texts are the subject of ongoing research, evidence suggests that a clinical syndrome consistent with pertussis was observed in ancient China.
