The Dodrill-GMR heart project was a collaborative effort led by Dr. Forest Dewey Dodrill of
Harper Hospital in Detroit, Michigan and General Motors Research Laboratory. “The
Mechanical Heart” also known as the Michigan Heart had the ability to bypass both the
patient’s heart and lungs allowing surgeons a “dry” field on which to work. It was used in the
first successful open heart operation July 3, 1952.

The Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences, established in 1996, is an unique institution charting the historical development of medical sciences in Hong Kong.
The Museum occupies 10,000 square feet, comprising 11 Exhibition Galleries, 1 Gallery for Tai Ping Shan View, 1 Library and 1 Lecture Room, each presents in a variety of ways to arouse interests and to help members of the community know more about health and diseases, including past conquests, current developments and future challenge of special relevance to Hong Kong.
It also explores the interface between Chinese and Western medicine and encourage research in this area. It intends to serve both as an educational venue and to restore and conserve medical objects of historical value. As such, it is the first of its kind amongst medical museums in the world!

Tincture of Digitalis has been a part of medical literature since 1785. It is used to this day as a medicine to help manage congestive heart failure. However, as with most medicines, too much is toxic. Digitalis is a known toxic agent that can cause a host of symptoms upon overdose. This vial makes sure the user knows the danger.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spine. The symptoms generally come on slowly over time. Early in the disease, the most obvious are shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty with walking. Thinking and behavioral problems may also occur.

"Recommended in all cases of debility, functional heart disease, and as a general builder and restorer of bodily vigor."
This product was investigated by the Food and Drug Administration in the 1930s. It would indeed be a miracle if these tablets did cure a diseased or broken heart.

You may have gotten your flu shot but have you received intravenous cylotropin lately? Probably not…
Introduced to the world of medicine in 1899, cylotropin was used to treat a variety of urinary tract ailments. Considered to be an antiseptic, it was only discovered later that the effectiveness of the chemical compound hexamethylenetetramine present in the prescription is dependent on an acidic environment rather than dosage. If the patient’s body was too alkaline, the injection would be ineffective. Although hexamethylenetetramine can still be found in a variety of medicines, cylotropin eventually fell out of use when physicians realized its limitations.

Room X - The Lorraine Collections
Museo Galileo
Florence, Tuscany, Italy
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.

(Note the following text is condensed from www.biography.com/people/charles-drew-9279094. "In 1938, Charles Drew developed a method for processing and preserving blood plasma. Plasma lasts much longer than whole blood, making it possible to be stored or "banked." His research served as the basis of his doctorate thesis, "Banked Blood," and he received his doctorate degree in 1940. Drew became the first African-American to earn this degree from Columbia.
As World War II raged in Europe, Drew was asked to head up a special medical effort known as "Blood for Britain." He organized the collection and processing of blood plasma from several New York hospitals, and the shipments of these life-saving materials overseas to treat causalities in the war. According to one report, Drew helped collect roughly 14,500 pints of plasma.
In 1941, Drew worked on another blood bank effort, this time for the American Red Cross. He worked on developing a blood bank to be used for U.S. military personnel. But not long into his tenure there, Drew became frustrated with the military's request for segregating the blood donated by African Americans. At first, the military did not want to use blood from African Americans, but they later said it could only be used for African-American soldiers. Drew was outraged by this racist policy, and resigned his post after only a few months."
On April 1, 1950, Charles Richard Drew was fatally injured in a car accident. The highway on which the accident occurred is a memorial to Dr. Charles Richard Drew.

Rufffini's own preparation of Ruffini endings, presented to Charles Sherrington. Photomicrograph of one of the 11 slides sent by Ruffini from the University of Bologna to Sherrington in Oxford in 1898. The hand-written label reads: “Organi nervosi nel connettivo del polpa anelli delle dita uomo.” (“Nerve ending in the connective tissue from the human finger.”) Ruffini dedicated this slide to Sherrington: “Per Prof C.S. Sherrington, per amicizia e ricordo.” Ruffini identified the sensory ending by self-testing and by excising these receptors from his own skin. High-power image from the slide shown in d with silver-impregnated sensory organ, now called the Ruffini ending. Also see Fig. 4 from Molnar and Brown, 2010.

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced, a condition called insulin resistance. Having diabetes raises the chance of developing a number of diseases.

Pancreatic cancer arises when cells in the pancreas, a glandular organ behind the stomach, begin to multiply out of control and form a mass. These cancerous cells have the ability to invade other parts of the body. There are a number of types of pancreatic cancer. The most common, pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. In most tissues, healthy cells divide in a controlled way and copy themselves to create new healthy cells. With cancer, this normal process of cell division goes out of control. Possible signs and symptoms include a lump, abnormal bleeding, prolonged cough, unexplained weight loss and a change in bowel movements. While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they may have other causes.
