With the publication of The Doctor's Case against the Pill; Witches, Midwives, and Nurses: A History of Women Healers; and Complaints and Disorders: The Sexual Politics of Sickness, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, feminist scholars and activists began to examine ways in which medicine produces diagnoses and treatments that are harmful to women, depicts women in textbooks and scholarly reports in stereotypical and negative ways, and is not objective and value free. Along the way, feminists uncovered ways in which medicine has also been beneficial to women, introducing further complexity into our critique. More recently, feminists have explored how medicine itself is riven with tensions, contradictions, ambiguities, and uncertainties, even at the same time that it retains power in relation to women. Today, feminist scholars are exploring the extent to which medicine is not a monolithic enterprise, while they continue to analyse its consequences and resist those that are negative for women.
This article explores tension in one domain of medicine, It focuses on the links between transformations in medical science and cultural ideas about women using evidence drawn from medical discourse about the safety of the first synthetic oestrogen, DES (diethylstilbestrol). In the 1970s and 1980s, North American feminists undertook the research, political action, and litigation that made DES an infamous instance of medical intervention into women's reproductive lives. Like the Dalkon Shield, DES initially appeared to be a benign and exciting reproductive technology but in the long run had profound and damaging consequences for women.

The support group Réseau DES France was established in 1994. Their first DES public education campaign was launched in 1997 with the brochure “DES Distilbène® Exposure, the questions you ask yourself” aimed at raising DES awareness amongst the general public. Since 1994 Réseau DES France has engaged in many areas (information, cooperation, advocacy and lobbying, and DES lawsuits to name just a few). They’ve achieved many results and successes such a the right to longer maternity leave for DES pregnancies.

This image I am dedicating to those Bengali, who sacrificed their lives for the cause of the motherland in the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971.
Giving a sea of blood, those who won independence for Bangladesh, we will never forget you. In this War the Bangali members of the armed forces the students and the people from all walks of life took part. They fought for long nine months and defeated the well-trained Pakistani forces. Bangladesh became a free country. The people who fought against the Pakistani army and the people who took part in the war effort are called the freedom fighters. Many of the freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for the cause of the motherland. We owe our freedom of these noble freedom sacrificed their lives for the cause of the motherland. We owe our freedom of these noble freedom fighters. The freedom fighters will remain immortal in the history of Bangladesh.

DES was prescribed to pregnant women mainly to prevent miscarriage. Years later, those who were exposed in-utero suffer from health issues all linked to DES.
www.eugenepaulmdbooks.com/ - The public constantly receives health advice and recommendations regarding screenings, vaccinations, diet, and more. In the face of confusing and contradictory information, it can be hard to determine what to really believe-especially when everything we hear is supposedly based on solid scientific evidence. It's time to question what we really mean by science and how much these recommendations are based upon rigorous investigation. In this study, author Eugene Paul, MD, who has been practicing general internal medicine for more than thirty years, critiques what is loosely regarded as medical science.

This perfusion pump was invented by aviator Charles Lindbergh and Dr. Alexis Carrel,
recipient of the 1912 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine for his work in vascular
surgery. The glass pump was used to preserve animal organs outside the body, by pushing
"artificial blood" through the pump, keeping the organ alive for weeks.

Atlanta pharmacist John S. Pemberton created Coca-Cola in 1886 as a medicinal product. Early advertising refers to it as a "Brain Tonic and Nerve Stimulant," a remedy for headaches, neuralgia, hysteria, melancholia and all nervous afflictions. Pemberton also had several other proprietary medicines on the market including a French Wine of Coca, a popular nerve tonic. Coca-Cola was originally mixed with plain water and sold by the glass at soda fountains. Soon, however, it was mixed with carbonated water--and the "Pause That Refreshes" was born.
Pemberton’s concoction was propelled to success through the shrewd use of advertising and promotional campaigns. The earliest advertising employed point-of-sale signs, newspapers, and free sampling tickets. By the 1890s the Coca-Cola business had passed to Asa G. Candler, another Atlanta druggist, who expanded the sale of Coca-Cola throughout the United States. The slogan "Drink Coca-Cola, Delicious and Refreshing" appeared on posters and signs, blotters, trays, calendars, bookmarks and paperweights. Candler also used dealer premiums to stimulate sales. These included prescription scales, cabinets, wall clocks, and elegant porcelain syrup urns like the one shown here.

Spinal border cells from a Cooper and Sherrington publication from 1940. Cooper, S. & Sherrington, C. S. On ‘Gower’s tract and spinal border cells’. Brain 68, 123–134 (1940). Border cells were originally described by Gaskell, who gave the name to the neurons scattered at the periphery of the lateral column in the spinal cord of the alligator. In Sherrington’s box there are several spinal cord slides with labels pointing to cells at the edge of the spinal cord (or spinal border cells) (FIG. 1c,d in Molnar and Brown, 2010). These are the sections that led Sherrington, while working at Cambridge and at St Thomas’ Hospital, to describe a group of large nerve cells in the ventrolateral grey matter of the lumbar spinal cord of monkeys and cats as ‘outlying nerve cells’. Later, in one of his last publications from the University of Oxford, he called these neurons ‘spinal border cells’ because they were located predominantly along the lateral border of the ventral horn. Sherrington was interested in these cells because he suspected that they caused the sustained tonic inhibition of extensor muscle α-motor neurons in the cervical enlargement. Only much later were these cells identified as spinocerebellar tract neurons. Acute spinal injuries caudal to the cervical enlargement and cranial to border-cell neurons result in sudden deprivation of tonic inhibition of cervical enlargement neurons and cause their excitation. This excitation results in the extensor hypertonia observed in the thoracic limbs. Because Schiff described this syndrome in amphibian spinal cord before Sherrington, it is usually referred to as the Schiff–Sherrington phenomenon. This work provides an excellent example of the way Sherrington combined anatomical and physiological approaches to understand the interactions among spinal circuits that regulate reflex action by inhibition.

This Jarvik-7 total artificial heart was used in the first authorized bridge to organ transplant
operation, a temporary procedure that replaces a failing heart with a mechanical pump while
waiting for a human heart for implantation. Jack G. Copeland, M.D, performed the surgery on
August 29, 1985 at the University Medical Center, University of Arizona. The patient, 25 year
old Michael Drummond, lived with the mechanical pump for nine days until a donor heart
could be implanted.

Trinity cemetery was opened in 1887. It is on a large site located to the north of the city centre, near the beach adjacent to Aberdeen football stadium.
It comprises two sections. The westerly section is the larger of the two with the later 20th century easterly extension (originally a gravel pit) located on the other side of Park Road. Both sections slope upward from this road. The official main entrance is at the west end, where the cemetery lodge can be seen, with access via Errol Street.
The westerly section contains approximately 5600 stones naming a little over 14000 individuals.
The eastery extension is smaller, containing approximately 3300 stones with a little over 7300 named individuals.
The earliest date found recorded in the extension was 1891 though the vast majority of the stones date from the 1940's to the present time.
Trinity is a large 'open' cemetery consisting mainly of grass and gravel walkways. There are few bushes and even fewer trees. It is well maintained but the lack of the aforementioned trees or larger shrubs gives it a somewhat stark appearance.
The advantage of this layout however is that you can see the whole cemetery from practically anywhere within the grounds. A wonderful view can be had from the top of the cemetery, with the whole grounds before you. Beyond this lies a view of the beach and the North Sea.
In 1940 a German aircraft tried to destroy the gasometer in the adjoining gas works (the site is now occupied by an apartment complex). They failed in that quest but evidence of the 'strafing' can still be seen on some of the memorials located to the south-east of the site.
To see how this blasted chunks out of these granite memorials gives you some idea of the power behind these armaments. It must have been terrifying to be caught in such a raid.
There are just a few memorials showing artistic distinction, nearly all of which are in the original cemetery grounds. The easterly extension site is dominated by a large memorial to those who gifted their bodies to medical science. This is located at the top of the easterly section, extreme left.
Just an ad for a book, but since I took it just as I was going to hold a lecture on cognition enhancement I recalled Stephen Hawking's point that we better make ourselves smarter or the robots will dominate.

During cardiac surgery, the heart-lung machine temporarily replaces the function of the heart
and lungs, supporting the circulation of blood through the body. The natural heart is
by-passed and the heart-lung machine takes over for the patients organs.
The Mayo-Gibbon heart-lung machine was patterned after the Gibbon heart-lung machine
designed by John Gibbon, M.D. in 1949. Four years later John Kirklin and his associates at
the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota began using and improving upon a Gibbon-type
heart-lung machine.

Coming soon to SUNY Fredonia’s Marion Art Gallery "Gone Viral: Medical Science and Contemporary Textile Art" curated by Associate Professor of Art History Leesa Rittelmann. "Gone Viral" features the work of three American and two British artists whose textile art explores a range of aesthetic, political and cultural issues related to current scientific and biomedical practice and research. Truly interdisciplinary in its scope, this exhibition is designed to encourage a dialogue between the Arts and Sciences sparked by artworks that lend visual form to often complex, abstract scientific and social concerns.
The range of media explored by artists Sonya Clark, Anna Dumitriu, Paddy Hartley, Lindsay Obermeyer and Laura Splan runs the gamut from traditional embroidering, knitting, hand-quilting and beadwork to non-traditional works made from stethoscopes, hospital sheets, intravenous tubing, digital video, photography and computerized machine-embroidery. The technical processes these artists employ vary as well but they share a conceptual interest in examining the sublime tension between desire and fear, physical beauty and abjection, and rational science interpreted via the purportedly “irrational” or subjective art.
In addition to the March 8th opening reception, several exciting events have been organized in conjunction with Gone Viral including:
Artist’s Lecture: Laura Splan
Feb. 21, 8:30 p.m., 209 McEwen Hall
Sponsored by the Department of Visual Arts and New Media’s Visiting Artist Program, the Department of Biology and the Women’s and Gender Studies Program.

The Lorraines' interest in medicine is documented by some exceptional artifacts, of which a selection is on display. The 40 clay obstetrical models were intended for teaching purposes. Most were made by Giuseppe Ferrini under the guidance of Giuseppe Galletti (?-1819), professor of obstetrics at the Arcispedale di Santa Maria Nuova. The 30 surgical instrument kits were designed by the physician Giovanni Alessandro Brambilla and manufactured by the cutler Joseph Malliard. The Habsburg Emperor Joseph II gave them as a gift to his brother Peter Leopold.
