![][1] Figure. Sidney Carter, MD Dr. Sidney Carter, one of the most eminent and beloved of neurologists and a founder of child neurology, died on Sunday, January 16th, on Cape Cod. He was 92 years old. Dr. Carter was born in Boston and attended Dartmouth College. He received his medical degree from Boston University in 1938. He interned at St. Mary’s Hospital in Waterbury, CT and then trained in psychiatry in 1939 to 1940 at the Westboro State Hospital in Westboro, MA. In 1941, he started his residency in neurology on the Harvard Unit at Boston City Hospital, where Houston Merritt had recently been appointed Acting Director, following the departure of Tracy Putnam to the Neurologic Institute of New York. In addition to Merritt, Carter worked closely with Raymond Adams, then also at the Boston City Hospital. In 1943, Derek Denny-Brown was named Director of the Neurology Service and, 2 years later, Merritt left to direct Columbia’s neurology program at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx. Carter had the distinction of being Merritt’s last chief resident at Boston City, and Denny-Brown’s first. During World War II, Carter joined other physicians from the Boston City Hospital at the Seventh General Army Hospital in England, where he was assistant chief of the neuropsychiatric section and the principal neurologic consultant for army casualties.

Outcome after renal transplantation in children: results of follow-up by nephrologists in a primary referral center.

Pediatric patients who receive a kidney transplant require extended follow-up to monitor graft function and for management of complications. Because of convenience, most patients are sent back to the nephrologists who referred them for transplantation (the primary nephrologist) for long-term care. As a consequence, many pediatric nephrologists who provide this extended care are not associated with a transplant center. It is not known if this arrangement yields satisfactory outcomes for children and adolescents who receive a kidney transplant. The objective was to determine if clinical outcomes are satisfactory in pediatric renal transplant recipients who were followed up by their primary nephrologists after the procedure. A chart review was carried out on all renal transplant recipients seen in the renal clinic at Schneider Children's Hospital (SCH) from 1982 to 2001. Patients were eligible if they were followed up by the primary referring nephrologists at SCH for a minimum of 6 months after transplantation. Relevant demographic and clinical outcome data were compiled. Twenty-eight patients who received a total of 33 renal allografts [living related donors (LRD) 15 and cadaveric donors (CD) 18] were seen during the study period. The transplantations in 19 children (68%) were carried out at Montefiore Hospital (Bronx, NY, USA), while the rest were performed at other centers. There were three (11%) deaths, two LRD patients and one CD patient. The group of 25 surviving patients consisted of 17 males and eight females, age range 4-28 yr (mean 17.2 yr). The mean duration of renal allograft survival was 6.3 +/- 5.3 yr and the mean duration of follow-up was 6.1 +/- 5.3 yr. The most recent serum creatinine ranged from 0.5 to 3.8 mg/dL with a mean of 1.3 +/- 0.8 mg/dL. There were several complications including acute rejection, renal artery stenosis, and hydronephrosis in the allograft. The team of primary referring nephrologists successfully treated all of these except the child with hydronephrosis. The primary nephrologist who refers pediatric patients to a tertiary care transplant center can accomplish long-term follow-up of renal transplant recipients after discharge from the transplant center. The clinical outcomes are acceptable and compare favorably with the results described in the literature that have been achieved in patients followed up at transplant centers. Problems rarely developed that required referral back to the transplant center for management. This approach to care is recommended because it is more likely to foster compliance by both patients and parents.

The neuropathy of erectile dysfunction

These studies were intended to explore the relationship between autonomic neuropathy and erectile dysfunction (ED). Sensory thresholds reflecting the integrity of both large diameter, myelinated neurons (ie pressure, touch, vibration) and small diameter axons (ie hot and cold thermal sensation) were determined on the penis and finger. Data were compared across subjects with and without ED, controlling for age, hypertension and diabetes. The correlation of specific thresholds scores and IIEF values were also examined. Seventy-three patients who visited the academic urology clinics at Montefiore hospital were evaluated. All patients were required to complete the erectile function domain of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire: 20 subjects had no complaints of ED and scored within the 'normal' range on the IIEF. Patients were subsequently tested on their index finger and glans penis for vibration (Biothesiometer), pressure (Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments), spatial perception (Tactile Circumferential Discriminator), and warm and cold thermal thresholds (Physitemp NTE-2). Sensation of the glans penis, as defined by the examined sensory thresholds, was significantly diminished in patients with ED and these differences remained significant when controlling for age, diabetes and hypertension. In contrast, thresholds on the index finger were equivalent in the ED and non-ED groups. Threshold and IIEF scores were highly correlated, consistent with an association between diminished sensation and decreasing IIEF score (worse erectile functioning). These relations also remained significant when controlling for age, diabetes and hypertension. The findings demonstrate dysfunction of large and small diameter nerve fibers in patients with ED of all etiologies. Further, the neurophysiologic measures validate the use of the IIEF as an index of ED, as objective findings of sensory neuropathy were highly correlated with worse IIEF scores. The sensory threshold methods utilized represent novel, non-invasive and relatively simple procedures, which can be used in a longitudinal fashion to assess a patient's neurological response to therapies.

Dr. Ikuta has been an active member of AANP since 1964 and his first presentation at the annual meeting of AANP received the Weil Award in 1964. …

Jacob H. Schiff: A Study in American Jewish Leadership (review)

Reviewed by: Jacob H. Schiff: A Study in American Jewish Leadership Karla Goldman Jacob H. Schiff: A Study in American Jewish Leadership, by Naomi W. Cohen. Hanover, NH: University Press of New England (Brandeis University Press), 1999. 320 pp. $35.00. Jacob Schiff was a singular figure in American Jewish history. He came to prominence at a time when one man, given sufficient financial resources, personal commitment, and communal vision, could dominate and define the public agenda for the entire commun ity of American Jews. From 1880 through 1920, Schiff stood at the center of American Jewish public life, a key figure in shaping its institutions, its relationship to the nation’s political leadership, and its role in international efforts to respond to Jewish persecution and suffering across the globe. The era of Schiff’s communal leadership coincided of course with the greatest period of Jewish immigration from Russia and Eastern Europe to the United States, expanding the nation’s Jewish population from a few hundred thousand to more than a few million. The harsh economic and social conditions encountered by huge numbers of Jewish immigrants placed unprecedented demands on the nation’s acculturated Jewish community as it sought both to cushion the deprivations faced by the new arrivals and to ensure that they learned to behave like proper Americans. Schiff embodied the engaged response of a significant segment of the established community working tirelessly if quietly to push American policymakers to pressure Russia into ending anti-Jewish persecution and pogroms. Publicly, he led the way in creating institutions like the Montefiore Hospital, the Hebrew Free Loan Society, and the Henry Street settlement house directed by Lillian Wald, which were meant to attend to the physical, economic, and social well-being of the newcomers. At the same time Schiff was instrumental in establishing and defining the program of institutions (like the Jewish Theological Seminary and the American Jewish Committee) that would define the broader course of the American Jewish community. There seems to have hardly been one aspect of Jewish communal life in which Schiff did not take a central role. [End Page 139] As suggested by its subtitle, Naomi Cohen’s biography, Jacob H. Schiff: A Study in American Jewish Leadership, etches the public life of a public man. Apart from being told that Schiff enjoyed spending time with his family, we learn little about his day-to- day life or his personal relationships. This seems a reasonable biographical choice, although it is complicated by the extent to which, in Schiff’s world, business and public relationships mirrored private relationships established by marriage and birth. Cohen does make clear that Schiff’s professional opportunities and accomplishments were shaped by the world of German Jewish immigrants he encountered in New York as a new arrival from Frankfurt-am-Main in 1865. Likewise, the organizational structure of his business concern, Kuhn, Loeb, was completely determined by family connections. Schiff married the daughter of his employer Solomon Loeb, and his own son and son- in-law (Felix Warburg) in time rose to take their places among the various kinfolk who constituted the Kuhn, Loeb leadership. Although Cohen offers little insight into Schiff’s personal life, she does convey a sense of his personal style, emphasizing that Schiff’s engagement in all his fields of interest represented much more than the expenditure of cash or the exercise of power. In all the causes close to his heart, Schiff took an active and engaged role both in setting policy and in reaching out to those being served. He was a familiar presence at these institutions. Although he may have felt that his understanding of what it took to succeed in America meant that he knew what was best for newer immigrants and those who served them, Cohen emphasizes that Schiff encountered his beneficiaries as authentic individuals with authentic needs. As she convincingly demonstrates, the regard and esteem that Schiff won among the immigrant community reflected far more than just attempts to please a wealthy donor. At times the deliberately limited scope of Cohen’s portrait is frustrating. The author offers a fascinating account of Schiff’s extensive investment in Japan and how he essentially...

Henry Heimlich—Heimlich Maneuver

A postage stamp issued by Uganda in 1990 shows Mickey Mouse performing the Heimlich maneuver (manual thrust) on Donald Duck, who is choking on food. In the early 1970s, the American surgeon Henry Jay Heimlich observed that food and other objects that caused choking were not freed by the recommended technique of delivering sharp blows to the back. As an alternative, in 1974 he devised a method called the “Heimlich maneuver,” by which air expelled from the victim's lungs propels food or other material from the throat. In the Heimlich maneuver, the rescuer wraps his arm around the choking victim's waist from behind, makes a fist with one hand and holds the fist with the other hand between the naval and the rib cage, and presses forcefully into the victim's diaphragm to expel the food. Heimlich was born on February 3, 1920, in Wilmington, Del. He received a BA degree from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, in 1941 and an MD degree in 1943. His internship at Boston City Hospital was interrupted in 1944 by service in the US Navy during World War II (1939-1945). He served as a surgeon with the Chinese guerrillas in the Gobi Desert and Inner Mongolia, service that was recognized and honored by the Chinese Ministry of Health in 1984. After the war, Heimlich served as a resident in thoracic surgery in several hospitals in the New York City area: Veterans Administration Hospital in The Bronx in 1946-1947, Mount Sinai Hospital in 1947-1948, Bellevue Hospital in 1948-1949, and Triboro Hospital (Jamaica, Queens) in 1949-1950. From 1950 to 1969, Heimlich was attending surgeon and director at Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center in New York City. In 1969, he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he served as director of surgery at Jewish Hospital until 1977. In 1974, he tested his manual thrust theory on laboratory dogs. He left Hospital in 1977 to become professor of advanced clinical sciences of Xavier University in Cincinnati and to found the Heimlich Institute, where he served as president from 1977 to 1989. Heimlich is the author of Postoperative Care in Thoracic Surgery (1962) and coauthor of Surgery of the Stomach, Duodenum, and Diaphragm: Questions and Answers (1967). He has contributed many chapters to various books on surgery and has written numerous articles for medical journals. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Thoracic Surgery and a member of many scientific and medical societies. Among the honors he has received are honorary doctor of science degrees from Wilmington College (Del) in 1981, Adelphi University (NY) in 1982, Rider College (NJ) in 1983, and Alfred University (NY) in 1993. Besides being known for the Heimlich maneuver, Heimlich is credited with developing reversed gastric tube esophagoplasty for the replacement of the esophagus, developing a device for life-saving chest surgery, inventing a chest drain valve (Heimlich valve) for patients with chronic lung disease, and providing a method for enabling stroke patients to relearn the process of swallowing.

Pharmacology of bovine and human thyrotropin: an historical perspective.

Before the induction of a brief period of hypothyroidism became the standard method for inducing 131I uptake in thyroid cancer diagnosis and therapy, several other methods were explored and used. At the dawn of this new era of recombinant human thyrotropin (TSH) it is of interest to reflect briefly on some of this work. Partially purified bovine TSH (bTSH) was supplied for many years by the Armour Company as Thytropar for intramuscular injection and was first used in thyroid cancer 50 years ago at the Montefiore Hospital and at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Most of the patients were already hypothyroid and bTSH induced further 131I uptake in only a few. Experience over the next 30 years revealed frequent allergic reactions, occasionally serious ones, and in 1961 it was shown that prolonged use could result in resistance to both bTSH and human TSH. bTSH was, therefore, reserved for thyroid cancer patients unable to increase endogenous TSH when hypothyroid. bTSH also was used widely as a test to distinguish between hypothyroidism caused by thyroid or pituitary failure until it was replaced by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). In a few studies, TRH was also tested as an adjuvant to increase endogenous TSH and thus help to stimulate function in thyroid cancer, but this attracted little interest. Prolonged hypothyroidism, enhanced by antithyroid drugs, was used early on, but this very effective stimulant of thyroid cancer function was, for multiple reasons, discarded. Beginning interest 15 to 25 years ago in obtaining TSH from human pituitary glands, a byproduct of growth hormone production, was interrupted when this product was found to risk development of Creutzfeld-Jakob disease. Recombinant human TSH, a safe and effective substitute, is now ready for widespread use and development in thyroid cancer management.

The beginnings of radioiodine therapy of metastatic thyroid carcinoma: a memoir of Samuel M. Seidlin, M. D. (1895-1955) and his celebrated patient.

Emerging from a stimulating encounter over fifty years ago between Dr. S. M. Seidlin and a celebrated patient at Montefiore Hospital in New York City are a number of findings that bear significantly on the contemporary practice of medicine relating to targeted radioisotope therapy. In 1943, Seidlin administered radioiodine to this patient, who was hyperthyroid although previously thyroidectomized, but who had several metastases from adenocarcinoma of the thyroid which localized the radioisotope. Seidlin recognized early that some thyroid metastases would take up radioiodine (i.e., function), but only after the normal thyroid gland was ablated, an essential preliminary procedure before radioiodine therapy should be administered, the clinical practice followed to this day. He held that removing the normal thyroid increased TSH production and eliminated the gland's competition for radioiodine, inducing the metastases to function. From 1942 until his death in 1955, Seidlin and his group followed many patients having metastatic thyroid carcinoma, conducting fruitful investigations concerned with the induction of function, dosimetry, and the occurrence of leukemia in some massively treated patients.

Comprehensive Battery to Assess the Auditory System in Infants

At the Eastern Section meeting of the Triological Society held in New York City, David R. Stapells, PhD, and colleagues from Montefiore Hospital, New York, discussed a method of assessing the audiologic status of infants. The test battery used includes computer-controlled air and bone conduction behavioral audiologic assessments, otoscopy, immitance measures, auditory brain-stem response (ABR) elicited by bone and air conduction clicks and tones, and cortical auditory evoked potentials to speech sounds. Using three cases as examples, the authors stressed the necessity of interpreting the complete test battery in assessing the infants' auditory function, since single test interpretations can be misleading. In particular, despite normal ABR testing, cortical auditory evoked potentials can uncover potential cortical dysfunction, suggesting future delays in speech and language function. Otitis media, on the other hand, can produce an abnormal ABR, therefore inappropriately suggesting a significant auditory deficit. Evaluation of the infant auditory system, therefore, must
