NEW HORIZONS IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH

Rov E. R1rrs, ]R., J\t.O., Chicago, Illinois George Washington University School of Medicine; Di­rector, AMA-ERF Institute for Biomedical Research· Asst. Director, Division of Scientific Activities America1~ Medical Association ;:former Chairman, Dept.' of Micro­l>0logy, Georgetown University School of Medicine.

AMA-ERF INSTITUTE FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH

The Institute, founded hy the American Medical Associa­tion through its Education and Research Foundation, is an organization free from artificial or arbitrary restrictions, where a limited number of scientists who excel in their chosen disci­plines can combine their skills and creativity to a common end - discovering the mechanisms of the living cell.

l t is a singular undertaking because it depends for its exist­ence solely on the faith and the funds of private physicians and private organizations.

The physician, Doct or Ritts will point out, depends on bio­medical research for his basic tools. Scientific discoveries have led to improved diagnostic and therapeutic methods - they have made it possible for the physician to increase his compe­tence and capabi lities.

Examples of the fields in which the Institute scientists are working or will have interest are:

- Molecular biology, including fine structure of the cell, histochemistry and biochemical genetics.

- Biochemistry, particularly protein synthesis on a cellular and subcellular level, and also lipid chemistry, carbohydrate chemistry. enzymology and antibiotic biosynthesis.

- Immunology and host-parasite interaction.

- Neurophysiology.

CONTINUING SURGICAL EDUCATION

"Lord L ister said, 'If you are not wi lling to learn and unlearn all your life through, you should give up medicine and take up a third-rate trade.' Learning is difficult enough, unlearning and relearning is not only difficult but is opposed by habit and false pride. It is nevertheless the price to be paid if you wish to be a worthy member of a learned profession."

Whitteridge, David : Learning and Relearning, Lancet 1 :192 ( 1959)

The above quotation sums up the reason why we as surgeons must vigorously pursue a personal program of continuing surgi­cal education.

Surgical meetings are a must for every surgeon because such gatherings afford a face to face dynamic exchange of informa­tion. We learn from the speakers, the exhibits and from the other surgeons who come from all sections of the country.

SCIENTIFIC EXHIBITS BOOTH

Robert Tauber, M.D., Emeritus Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology of School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania

Modern Hemostasis The exhibit will present modern hemostatic procedures in order to prevent wasting of blood d11ri11g surgery and to avoid hemorrhages afterwards. A frequently overlooked cause of puzzling hemorrhages is called Hidden Error. The Stump Stitch and the Chain Suture will eliminate this dangerous error. As sample operations for these techniques are shown: The Retrograde Appendectomy and the Vaginal Hysterectomy. Twin Stitches are very helpful in many operative proce­dures. The hemostatic effect of this interesting technique is demonstrated on the Myomectomy and the Tonsillecto­my. A safe and easy technique for the control of widespread oozing areas is shown on models. The exhibit is also a teaching forum for visitors who are invited to try the new techniques on training boards.

The procedure is performed with a new sphincterotomy probe which allows full exposure of the sphincter at all times and also reduces the size of the duodenotomy opening considerably. Part II - A new concept in design of self retaining ab­dominal retractors is discussed. Multiple colored slides show the use of the instrument in all of the commonly used abdominal incisions.

Group Medical Practice

A new exhibit on the group practice of medicine has been developed through the cooperation of the Ameri­can Association of Medical Clinics, the American Medical Association and the Medical Group Management Associa­tion. Not intended to either promote or discourage this type of practice, the exhibit seeks to identify elementary problems which should be considered by physicians con­templating establishing a medical group or those who are considering joining an already functioning group.

Seymour Diamond, M.D. The Samuel H. Flamm Foundation, Chicago, Illinois

Clinical Research in Private Practice The rationale, pre-requisites, procedures of doing con­trolled clinical research in a private practice are discussed and outlined. The advantages, both to the patient and to the physician, as well as the disadvantages are discussed. An example of a completed controlled study is given and the results shown.

John Roberts Phillips, M.D., Houston, Texas Castro-Duodenal Ulceration in Obstructive Lung Diseases - Place for Carotid Body Surgery

It has been found that 25% of the patients with obstruc­tive lung diseases have associated peptic ulceration. A complication from peptic ulcer is a very serious problem in this group of cases. The exhibit will show a plan of initial carotid body surgery before other major surgical procedures are done. Also shown will be the operative procedures that have been used in the care of these com­plications. The very simplest procedure possible is used in order to shorten the anesthetic and to minimize all the chances of complications. This information has been accumulated through our experience with carotid periar­terial sympathectomy with removal of the carotid body in over 1,300 cases.
