Carl Lange (physician)

Carl Georg Lange (4 December 1834 – 29 May 1900) was a Danish physician who made contributions to the fields of neurology, psychiatry, and psychology.
Born to a wealthy family in Vordingborg, Denmark, Lange attended medical school at the University of Copenhagen and graduated in 1859 with a reputation for brilliance. After publishing on the neurological pathologies of aphasia, bulbar palsy, tabes dorsalis, and pathologies of the spinal cord, he achieved world fame with his 1885 work "On Emotions: A Psycho-Physiological Study". In it, he posited that all emotions are developed from, and can be reduced to, physiological reactions to stimuli. Seemingly independently, the American William James had published a similar work the year before, but unlike James, Lange specifically stated that vasomotor changes "are" emotions. The theory became known as the James–Lange theory of emotion.
In 1886 Lange published "On Periodical Depressions and their Pathogenesis," an exposé on the previously undescribed illness of periodic depressions without mania known today as major depressive disorder. He asserted that the disease was extremely common in his practice. Based on observations he made of his patients' urine, he hypothesized that the illness was related to an excess of uric acid in the blood and advocated for methods of reducing this substance, including the use of lithium. His recommendations were discarded by the psychiatric community, as was his nosological assertions of the uniqueness of the disease. Lithium was later found in 1949 to be an effective treatment for mood disorders, although the concept of a uric acid diathesis was fully discredited.
But a connection of uric acid and depression is not without possibility.
He died in Copenhagen in 1900 at the age of 65.


Philip Sydney Jones

Sir Philip Sydney Jones (15 April 1836 – 18 September 1918) was an Australian medical practitioner and University of Sydney vice-chancellor 1904–1906.
Early life.
Jones was born in Sydney, the second son of David Jones, a Welsh immigrant who founded the department store David Jones Limited in 1838, and his second wife Jane Hall, "née" Mander. Jones was educated at private schools under William Timothy Cape, T. S. Dodds (in Surry Hills) and Henry Cary (in Darling Point), and then went to London in 1853 to study medicine at University College. During his course he took the medals for anatomy and medicine, graduated M.B. in 1859, M.D. in 1860, and became a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1861. Jones was awarded the Fellowes gold medal given to the most proficient student in clinical knowledge. He married Hannah Howard Charter in 1863.
Medical career.
Jones was house surgeon and physician and a resident medical officer at University College hospital for a period, and then went to Paris, where he continued his studies in medicine and surgery for some months. Jones returned to Sydney in 1861, and was an honorary surgeon at the Sydney infirmary, afterwards the Sydney hospital, for 14 years, and also carried on a general practice in College Street, Sydney. Jones was the first surgeon in Sydney to remove an ovarian tumour successfully. In 1876 Jones gave up general practice, and established himself as a consultant physician. Jones went to Europe for about three years in 1883, and spent much time studying developments in medicine and in hospital practice. Returning to Sydney he was appointed an honorary consulting physician to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, and was then considered to be the leading physician in Sydney. Jones was unanimously elected president of the third intercolonial medical congress held in Sydney in 1892, and in 1896 and 1897 he was president of the New South Wales branch of the British Medical Association. In addresses to these bodies he stressed the value of fresh air, pure food, and uninfected milk, and he was quick in realizing the value of X-rays, and the promise of results to be obtained from serum therapy, then in its infancy. He was unceasing in his efforts for the effective treatment of tuberculosis (consumption), and was a pioneer in New South Wales in the use of open air treatment. He was responsible for the opening of the Queen Victoria homes at Thirlmere and at Wentworth Falls for patients in the early stages of tuberculosis, and spent much time in the administration of these institutions. Jones had been one of the founders of the Royal Prince Alfred hospital and was a member of the board from 1878 to 1883. Rejoining the board of this hospital in 1904, he was chairman of its medical board for many years.
Residence.
In 1878 Jones built "Llandilo" on a large property in Strathfield bounded by The Boulevarde, Albyn Road, Kingsland Road and Wakeford Road and lived there until his death. The property was then subdivided and a group of residents headed by Rev. Wheaton, a Congregational minister, bought the house for a school, which was known as Strathfield Grammar School. In 1926 the school became part of Trinity Grammar School and today is the landmark building of the Preparatory School campus.
Community activities.
Jones took much interest in education and became a member of the senate of the University of Sydney in 1881, and was vice-chancellor from 1904 until 1906. He was a trustee of the Australian Museum, was connected with the Kindergarten Union, was an early member of the Linnean Society, and was for 51 years a member of the Royal Society of New South Wales. He was also actively interested in many charitable institutions and in Trinity Congregational Church, Strathfield, of which he was a deacon. He was a member of council of Camden College, the Congregational theological college and grammar school. Jones was knighted in 1905 for his work in combating tuberculosis and died in Sydney, survived by three sons and four daughters. Jones was buried in the Congregational section of Rookwood Cemetery.

National Dental Examining Board of Canada

The National Dental Examining Board of Canada, also known as the NDEB (French: Le Bureau national d'examen dentaire du Canada) is the organization that is responsible for granting approval for dentists to practice in Canada through standardized examinations. Its headquarters are in Ottawa.
According to the Act of Parliament, the NDEB is responsible for the establishment of qualifying conditions for a national standard of dental competence for general practitioners, for establishing and maintaining an examination facility to test for this national standard of dental competence and for issuing certificates to dentists who successfully meet this national standard. The NDEB, in cooperation with the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, is also responsible for the establishment of qualifying conditions for a single standard national certificate for dental specialties.
History.
In 1906 under the auspices of The Canadian Dental Association (CDA) the Dominion Dental Council was formed to conduct national written examinations, the successful completion of which would grant the candidate a Dominion Dental Council certificate. The National Certificate could then be presented to the Provincial Dental Regulatory Authorities (DRA's) as evidence of the candidate's ability to meet a basic national standard of competence. Some DRA's were prepared to grant licenses to practice on the basis of the certificate, however, others chose to accept the certificate as an academic base only and required the candidate to pass provincial practical tests in addition.
The Dominion Dental Council proved to be rather ineffective. A name change to The Dental Council of Canada in 1950 along with attempts to improve the efficiency of the examination mechanism still failed to attract strong support from the DRA's. This was in spite of the fact that the DRA's agreed with the general concept. They had indicated a desire to be free of provincial licensing examinations, providing that a strong competent national examination system could be introduced, which they could support.
The following year (1951) the CDA encouraged the ten DRA's to meet in an attempt to develop a satisfactory plan for a National Examining Board. Its purpose was to provide a facility by which members of the profession could become eligible, on a national basis, to apply for practice privileges in the province of their choice. This meeting resulted in the incorporation of The National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) in 1952 by an Act of Parliament of Canada. The Act was supported by all ten DRA's and by the CDA and this support continues today.
Since 1952, the NDEB has issued 21,907 certificates.
Structure.
The National Dental Examining Board of Canada is composed of twelve members. Each DRA appoints one member and two members are appointed by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada.
In 1994, the Board designated representatives from the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada, the Canadian Dental Association and the CDA Committee on Student Affairs as official observers. In 2004, the Board designated a representative from the Canadian Dental Regulatory Authorities Federation (CDRAF)as an official observer and appointed a Public Representative.
The Executive Committee of the Board, consisting of the President, President-Elect, Past-President and two other members, meets two or three times a year. The full Board meets annually. The NDEB also has standing committees dealing with examinations, appeals, finances and by-laws.
The NDEB appoints a Chief Examiner for the examinations. Examiners are appointed by the Board from lists submitted by the DRA's and lists submitted by the Deans of Canadian dental faculties. The NDEB is a non-profit organization supported financially by fees charged to candidates for examination certification.
Certification.
Prior to 1971, a graduate of an undergraduate dental program in Canada was required to successfully complete the NDEB examination (written essay-type) in order to be certified. This policy was changed in 1971, when the NDEB decided to recognize the examinations and evaluation administered by Canadian faculties of dentistry and issue certificates to current graduates of these faculties without further examination. The conditions for certification of current graduates were established at this time to be proper application and graduation from an undergraduate dental program approved by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada.
The NDEB, through its representatives on the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada and an appointee on each undergraduate program survey team actively participates in the accreditation process. In addition, the NDEB gives an annual grant to the Commission to be applied to accreditation costs of undergraduate dental programs in Canada and the United States.
In 1988 concern was expressed by several DRA's about the validity of establishing clinical competence solely by accreditation. This concern was further intensified by the extension of the accreditation cycle from five to seven years. The NDEB, therefore, in 1989 established a committee "to explore whether the granting of a certificate on the basis of accreditation alone continues to be acceptable." This committee (Certification Review Committee or CRC) presented its report at the 1990 NDEB Annual Meeting. The report stated that certification based on accreditation alone was no longer acceptable, a finding which was further supported in the Parker Report.
As a result, the NDEB authorized two pilot projects which introduced and tested the use of NDEB external examiners/observers. In 1991 this involved the University of British Columbia, l’Université de Montréal and the University of Toronto. In 1992, the Universities of Alberta, Manitoba, McGill, Western Ontario and l’Université de Montréal participated in this pilot project. The pilot projects were deemed highly satisfactory by the NDEB. In 1993, certification for graduates of accredited Canadian Faculties of dentistry was based on present requirements and a successful report on the faculties’ participation in the NDEB External Examiner System.
In 1994, at the request of the DRA's, the NDEB abandoned the External Examiner System and required that Canadian graduates pass the Written Examination. The NDEB committed to develop and implement an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).
As a result of changes adopted at the 1993 Annual Meeting, in 1995 and onwards, graduates of dental programs accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada were required to pass both the NDEB Written Examination and the NDEB Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in order to be certified.
In 1995 and 1996 an intense and lengthy consultation process with the DRA's, the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC), the Association of Canadian Faculties of Dentistry (ACFD), the American Association of Dental Schools (AADS) and the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association (ADA) was held. As a result, a Notice of Motion was presented to the 1995 Annual Meeting that would significantly change the Board's certification process. This Notice of Motion was circulated to the communities of interest and as a result, was revised, outlining conditions that required action by the ADA, the ACFD and the CDAC. In addition, to preserve national portability, the motion had to be ratified by all ten DRA's.
During 1996, the ADA, CDAC and ACFD confirmed that the required changes would be made. The motion was subsequently passed by the NDEB at the November 1996 Annual Meeting and was ratified by all ten DRA's.
As a result of the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation making requested changes to their accreditation procedures, including the addition of state and national licensing board representatives to all site survey teams, the codification of the relationship between the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation and the CDAC that ensures formal representation and involvement in each other's process, the identification of the requested outcome measurement similar to the CDAC's the Clinical Outcomes Review (CORE) Process. The NDEB was able to verify that the CDAC and the ADA accreditation processes were equivalent. Therefore, as of January 1, 1997, graduates of both US and Canadian accredited undergraduate dental programs were considered “accredited graduates”. To be certified, these graduates must pass the Written and OSCE Examinations within a specified period of time.
Until December 31, 1999, graduates of accredited programs who did not successfully complete the Written and OSCE Examinations within 7 years of graduation were granted a certificate by the Board following successful completion of the Examination for Certification of graduates of non-accredited dental programs established by the Board.
After January 1, 2000, graduates of accredited dental programs who do not successfully complete the Written and OSCE Examinations within 7 years of graduation were eligible to receive the Board's certificate by successfully completing a Qualifying Program and then successfully completing the Written and OSCE Examinations.
As a result of wide consultation during a Strategic Planning process in 2003, the Board revised the “7 year rule” and allowed graduates of accredited programs who were more than 60 months past the date of their graduation to apply for special consideration to participate in the Board's certification process. Also, in 2003, the Board placed a limit on the number of times a candidate could take an examination and added a public official observer.
Since the changes to the certification process for graduates of non-accredited dental programs in 1996, the Executive Committee of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) has been continually monitoring the results.
The 1996 changes introduced the 2 year Qualifying/Degree Completion Programs. The Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada's (CDAC) Standards for the Qualifying/Degree Completion Programs initially required that these programs be two academic years in length. Presently, these are approximately 80 students accepted into these programs each year. These programs work extremely well, faculties report that virtually every student requires the full 2 years in the programs to meet the national standard. However, it has been reported that there have been a few students who may not have needed the full 2 years.
In 2001, to provide more flexibility, the NDEB and the Canadian Dental Regulatory Authority Federation (CDRAF) requested the CDAC change the standards to allow a student to demonstrate competence in a shorter time. Although CDAC modified the standards, the Qualifying Programs find it difficult to satisfactorily evaluate students until they have almost completed the programs. In addition, as of 2006, all Faculties of Dentistry in Canada have moved to Degree Completion Programs which, due to university regulation, have 2-year residency requirements.
Currently, the CDRAF has initiated a certification process for graduates of non-accredited dental specialty programs, and several Provincial Dental Regulatory Authorities (DRA's) have indicated the need to develop an alternative process for certification of general dentists.
Structure of Examination.
Written Examination.
The Written Examination consists of 2 papers, each with 150 multiple choice type questions. Each paper is given in a 2 hours and thirty minutes examination session. The sessions are held in the morning and afternoon of one day. One part of the written examination tests the basic sciences while the other tests the clinical sciences.
The basic sciences portion resembles Part I of the National Board Dental Examination in the United States, while the clinical portion is similar to Part II.
Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).
The OSCE is a station type examination (also known as "bell-ringer" type).
The majority of the stations have two questions and require the candidate to review the information supplied (e.g. case history, photographs, radiographs, casts, models) and answer extended match type questions. Each extended match type question has up to 15 answer options and one or more correct answer(s). A few stations may require the candidate to review the information supplied and write an acceptable prescription for a medication commonly prescribed by general dentists in Canada.
Candidates have five minutes at each station to answer the questions, after which they move on to the next station.
Current Exam.
The dates of the current exam cycle are a Saturday and a Sunday in March, June and December. The examination is administered on two consecutive days; the written section on Saturday and the OSCE on Sunday. Accommodations can usually be made for candidates who have conflicting religious observations. For candidates who observe the Sabbath on Saturday, the written exam may be taken on Friday. The current fee for the exam is CDN $2800. Once graduation from an accredited dental school is confirmed, the NDEB sends successful candidates an official certificate, which in turn is used to apply to individual provinces and territories for licensure.


Panna Dai

Panna Dai (also was spelt Panna Dhai) was a 16th-century nursemaid to Udai Singh II, the fourth son of Maharana Sangram Singh. In Hindi, "Panna" means "emerald," and "dai" means "nurse." She was given charge of Udai Singh, breastfeeding him virtually from his birth in 1522, along with her own son Chandan. When Udai was attacked by his uncle Bhanvir, Panna Dai sacrificed her own son's life to save him.
Biography.
Panna Dai was nurse of Rani Karnavati, who was the wife of Maharana Sangram Singh. who helped Karnavti on political matters, as well as upbringing her sons, Chandan and infant Udai Singh.
In the early 16th century, Vikramaditya succeeded the throne from his brother Rana ratan singh 11. He was 14 and was known for being insolent and arrogant. In 1535, Chittor was attacked by Bahadur Shah, causing Karnavati to ask neighboring rulers for help. Vikramaditya took a small force of nobles and their armies into the hills to help, while Udai was taken with Panna to Bundi. Unfortunately, the battle was lost, leaving Chittor sacked. Vikramaditya came back after the fight, extending his reign.
After the defeat, Vikramaditya's temperament didn't improve, causing him to physically abuse a respected chieftain at the court. This led to nobles placing Vikramaditya under palace arrest, leaving Udai as heir-elect to the throne. The court appointed a distant cousin of the family, Banvir, to act as regent. He was supposedly the illegitimate son of Udai's uncle, Prithviraj. Banvir considered himself the legitimate heir to the throne, and assassinated the imprisoned Vikramaditya. He subsequently attempted doing the same to Udai, however Panna was alerted of the situation and sent Udai out to a river, while setting her own son, Chandan, in his place. Banvir came soon after, asking for Udai. Panna pointed at the bed, now occupied by her son, and watched as he was murdered. Banvir arranged a meeting of the court and informed the chiefs that both the heirs were deceased. He then claimed his right to the throne and appointed himself king of Mewar. Panna and Udai fled to Kumbhalgarh, where a governor agreed to grant Udai protection.
In 1539, a chieftain from Mewar visited Kumbhalgarh, and Udai went to receive him. This led to rumors spreading that Udai may still have been alive. In 1540, Udai and a considerable force from Mewar, marched into Chittor to reclaim his throne. Banvir sent out an army to repel the attack, but he was defeated, it is unclear whether he was killed in the battle or sent into exile. Udai Singh was crowned the 12th Rana of the Sisodia Dynasty. His eldest son and successor Maharana Pratap was born in the same year.
Legacy.
Harshadrai Sakerlal Mehta made, "Veerangana Panna", an Indian silent about the nursemaid in 1934.
In 2014, the then Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Vasundhara Raje, inaugurated the Shaheed Smarak and Panna Dhai Museum, as well as a boat shaped museum at the Goverdhan Sagar Lake. The museum is dedicated to Panna Dai and her sacrifice to Mewar. The hall also portrays her life; in which visitors will be shown a 3D movie about her.
A national award, as well as nursing college in Western Udaipur, has been named after her. Sachin Sen Gupta has also released a book detailing her life named 'Panna Dai'.
There is also another college named after her, Panna Dhai Maa Subharti Nuarsing College, located in a lush green campus of Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, located at the outskirts of the town Meerut.

Emily MacManus

Emily Elvira Primrose MacManus, OBE (1886-1978) was an Irish nurse who served in France during World War I and later matron at Bristol Royal Infirmary then at Guy's Hospital in London, serving at the latter during World War II. She was also the President of the Royal College of Nursing from 1942-1944.
Early life.
MacManus was born in London in 1886, to Leonard and Julia McManus. Leonard was the brother of Caroline, wife of Sir Edwin Cooper Perry and son of James and Charlotte McManus, originally from Killeaden, Co. Mayo, Ireland. Though not born in Ireland, her father told her that Killeaden would always be her home.
Career.
In 1908 McManus entered Guy's hospital in London as a trainee nurse. After the start of World War I she served as a nurse on the front lines in France. She treated injured soldiers in the trenches for 3 1/2 years as a Nursing Reserve Sister. McManus later wrote in her biography "Fifty Years Of Nursing - Matron of Guy's", published in 1956, it was the responsibility of nurses to create homeliness in the “midst of the mud and blood, dust and death, in which they spent most of their days”.
After the war ended McManus returned to London to continue working at Guy's Hospital. In 1927 she was appointed Matron of Guy's, a position she would hold until her retirement in 1946. In 1930 she was awarded an OBE for her service. She would have been in charge when the hospital had to be evacuated during the London blitz in 1940.
Later Career and Death.
After the end of World War II McManus was exhausted. She retired from Guy's in 1946 and moved back to Mayo to write her memoirs. She appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme "Desert Island Discs" on 23 May 1966.
MacManus died in the Sacred Heart Hospital in Castlebar, Mayo, in 1978, aged 92. She was buried in the cemetery of St Michael’s Parish Church in Ardnaree, Ballina.


Johann Friedrich Osiander

Johann Friedrich Osiander (2 February 1787 in Kirchheim unter Teck – 10 February 1855) was an obstetrician at Göttingen, who published a prize essay in 1808 on nerves of the uterus titled "Commentatio anatomico-physiologica, qua edisseretur uterum nervos habere", noting that he believed that nerves were present in the uterus but could not detect them. He was the son of Friedrich Benjamin Osiander (1759–1822).
In 1808 he received his medical doctorate, and embarked on an educational journey that took him to the University of Tübingen and the University of Paris, where he studied with Jean-Louis Baudelocque (1745–1810). In 1810 he returned to Göttingen, where in worked in the field of urology and was appointed assessor of the "Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen" (Göttingen Academy of Sciences).
Under the influence of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752–1840), he developed an interest in natural history and comparative anatomy, and subsequently served as an assistant at the Natural History Cabinet. In 1811 he became a privat-docent at Göttingen, also working as a general practitioner and obstetrician, and in 1815 was appointed an associate professor of medicine. In 1817 he traveled to Vienna, where he met with Johann Lukas Boër (1751–1835); afterwards visiting Berlin, Jena and Halle (Saale).
In 1822 he became his father's representative in Göttingen as director of the maternity hospital. However, following the death of his father, the government preferred Ludwig Julius Caspar Mende (1779–1832) as director of the Göttingen maternity hospital. Therefore, the younger Osiander became a professor of medicine, later taking over the zoological and ethnographic department of the academic museum.


Christos Pantelis

Professor Christos Pantelis is an Australian professor of medicine who is the Director of the Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre.
Profile.
Prof. Christos Pantelis is an Australian of Greek background. He completed his medical degree at the University of Melbourne and trained at St Vincent's Hospital in Melbourne. Two years later, in 1979, he commenced his training in psychiatry at the Royal Free Hospital in London, England. During his training, he spent 18 months as a Research Registrar at University College Hospital to undertake an epidemiological study of schizophrenia in Inner London. He was appointed as a lecturer at Charing Cross & Westminster Medical School (UK) in 1988. In this position, he worked in the Academic Unit at Horton and the Gordon Hospitals, headed by Professor Thomas R.E. Barnes. The unit was involved in a number of research studies in schizophrenia including phenomenology, psychopharmacology, studies on movement disorder, neuropsychological aspects of schizophrenia, as well as epidemiology and social psychiatric aspects of schizophrenia.
In 1992, he was awarded the Lilly Travelling Fellowship of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the King Edward's Hospital Fund for London, England. During this year, he was Travelling Research Fellow with the National Institute of Mental Health (Washington, DC), where he worked with Dr. Richard Coppola and Dr. Daniel Weinberger, developing a technique for volumetric analysis of brain MRI images. He then returned briefly to the UK as a Research Fellow.
After his return from England at the end of 1992, Prof. Christos Pantelis worked at the Mental Health Research Institute and at Royal Park Psychiatric Hospital. He established the Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Research Unit, which is now based at both the Mental Health Research Institute and Sunshine Hospital. He also heads the Academic Unit at Sunshine Hospital. He became a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists in 1999.
Prof. Pantelis was Director of the inpatient rehabilitation program at Royal Park Hospital until mid-1996. During this time, he was responsible for the inpatient rehabilitation program and was instrumental in developing a comprehensive Model of Care for patients with long-term mental illness, and establishing a region-wide coordinating committee to oversee developments in delivery of services to these patients. He is currently Clinical Director and Principal Specialist for the Adult Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit (AMHRU) at Sunshine Hospital. This is a 26-beds unit for patients with treatment-resistant psychoses. He was actively involved in planning the movement of the Rehabilitation Unit to Sunshine Hospital and in the establishment of an Academic and Research Unit at that site. This included providing expertise into the architectural design of the new clinical and research units. These units opened in early 2000.
Achievements.
Prof. Christos Pantelis has established an internationally recognised group in the field of schizophrenia research, particularly in the neuropsychology and neuroimaging of the disorder. He has published numerous papers in peer reviewed journals, including papers in the Archives of General Psychiatry, as well as recent papers in Brain, Brain Research Reviews, Psychological Medicine, and other international journals. He has published a book on schizophrenia from a neuropsychological perspective.
He is highly experienced in the application of both structural and functional brain imaging to psychiatric disorders and has been awarded a number of NH & MRC grants, as well as a major imaging grant from the Ian Potter Foundation. He is also a member of the NH & MRC Brain Network. This work has been internationally recognised with invited talks to the UK and Europe. He is part of an international group looking at the neurobiology of schizophrenia. This work was presented at a number of invited symposia in Europe and USA.
His most recent work challenges the current neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophrenia in showing progressive changes in this disorder. In particular they have demonstrated that brain structural abnormalities are occurring during the transition phase to psychosis in individuals at high risk for developing schizophrenia.

Legacy.
Jana is involved in the research on neurological disorders caused by proteopathy and has carried out investigations on the role of E3 ubiquitin ligases as a causative factor. He has demonstrated how the ligases control cellular protein quality and how the absence of such an activity caused neuronal dysfunction or neurodegeneration. He led a team of scientists from NBRC and Bose Institute who conducted experiments on Huntington's disease, an inherited neurological disorder which led to the death of brain cells, and suggested azadiradione, a compound found in the seeds of Azadirachta indica (commonly known as neem) as a possible "therapeutic molecule". He has also identified new targets in diseases such as Lafora disease, a form of epilepsy, autism and Angelman syndrome which has reportedly widened the understanding of their pathogenesis. His studies have been documented by way of a number of articles and ResearchGate, an online repository of scientific articles has listed 94 of them.
Jana is a member of the Neurobiology Task force of the Department of Biotechnology. He has delivered keynote or invited speeches at seminars such as the "International Conference on Neurodegenerative Diseases: Pathogenesis to Therapy - 2015" held at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru and the "IAN 2017" of the Indian Academy of Neurosciences held at Ravenshaw University, Cuttack.
Awards and honors.
The Department of Biotechnology of the Government of India awarded him the National Bioscience Award for Career Development, one of the highest Indian science awards in 2008 and the National Academy of Sciences, India elected him as a fellow the same year.

Josephine Heffernan

Josephine E. Heffernan (11 March 1876 – 1962) was an Irish-American nurse who served during the First World War. She was born in Dublin and immigrated to the US in 1906, where she joined the United States Army in 1913. She served as a nurse in California and Mississippi, before being stationed at the American hospital at Rimaucourt, France. After the war, Heffernan went on to see service in China, the Philippines, and Pearl Harbor.
In 2002 a bracelet belonging to Heffernan was discovered by a schoolboy in Rimaucourt, who enlisted the aid of his teacher to return the piece to Heffernan's family. The efforts to identify Heffernan and return the bracelet were the subject of a 2017 film documentary which first aired in January of 2018.
Early life.
Josephine Heffernan was born in Dublin to John Heffernan, who worked as a baker, and Christine Allen. Her family later moved to Bray after her father's death. There she worked as a book-keeper.
Heffernan emigrated to the United States in 1906.
Career and later life.
Heffernan joined the United States Army Nurse Corps in 1913. In 1917, she became the chief nurse at a hospital at Fort McDowell on Angel Island in California. She was later transferred to Camp Shelby near Hattiesburg, Mississippi. She arrived to find Shelby in a state of emergency, with 240 patients and facing shortages of both supplies and staff. She recalled:
We all worked together. Nurses during those days did not spare labor. Meanwhile, time-slips, hadn't any use for them. Nurses stayed on duty until relieved by others ... Marvelous what one can do when emergency calls.
In 1918, Heffernan was appointed Chief Nurse of U.S. Army Base Hospital No. 59 at the army's Rimaucourt Hospital Center. After the First World War, Heffernan continued her career in the Army Nurse Corps at stations in the U.S., China, the Philippines, and Hawai'i. In 1920 she was appointed to the rank of second lieutenant, the basic rank for nurses.
Heffernan retired in 1935, and moved back to Bray in 1943. She never married or had children. Heffernan died in 1962.
Bracelet.
Whilst working in the American hospital, Heffernan lost a bracelet with her name engraved. The bracelet was found in 2002 by an eight-year-old in a garden in Rimaucourt, who asked his teacher for help in locating the owner and their family. This led to a 15-year-long search to find out more about Heffernan, in order to return the bracelet. The teacher eventually met with Marjorie Desrosier in 2017, an American Nurse Historian who was giving a local talk about nurses in the First World War. They also enlisted the aid of the local Bray Cualann Historical Society.
The search initially started in the US, as Heffernan was believed to be American, but where ancestry records showed that no-one of that name was born in the years 1880 or 1881. The search then widened after she was shown to be of Irish birth. The bracelet was returned to Heffernan's family in 2017. The return of the bracelet was filmed, and the search was covered in a French language documentary "Josephine H" by France 2, which first aired in January of 2018. An exhibition on the discovery of the bracelet was shown at the Yarn storytelling festival in Bray.


Bridgepoint Active Healthcare

Bridgepoint Active Healthcare is a complex care and rehabilitation hospital in Toronto. It is a member of the Sinai Health System and affiliated with the University of Toronto.
Location.
The hospital is located next to the Don River in the Riverdale neighbourhood of the city and includes the historic Don Jail which is now the administration building for the new hospital. The exact address is 14 St. Matthews Road, Toronto, Ontario at the corner of Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street. The new building towers over the east side of the Don Valley Parkway.
History.
The "House of Refuge" was built on the site in 1860 as a home for "vagrants, the dissolute, and for idiots". The facility became the "Riverdale Isolation Hospital" in 1875 during a smallpox epidemic. It became a specialized facility located on the edge of the city to house patients with communicable diseases, such as tuberculosis. As times changed, in 1957, the hospital's name and mandate were changed; its focus was shifted to helping those with chronic ailments and/or needing rehabilitation, as the Riverdale Hospital. The architecturally distinctive brown brick "half-round" Riverdale Hospital - which become Bridgepoint Health in 2002 - was completed in 1963; was amalgamated structurally into the new Bridgepoint Active Healthcare campus. In 1997 as part of Mike Harris' cutbacks the government moved to close the original facility, but a community lobbying effort kept it open, and saved the historic Riverdale Hospital building.
Redevelopment.
In 2003, a $200 million expansion project was announced, which modernized and expanded the facility. The final result is the purpose-built, 10-storey, 404-bed Bridgepoint Hospital building, which is connected by a glass walkway to the old Don Jail building. Part of the former Don Jail was demolished in 2014 as part of the Bridgepoint Redevelopment project.
The Community Master Plan was approved by the City of Toronto in 2006. The new facility serves as a 'living lab' to foster the research and treatment of complex chronic disease. It serves as a research base for the Bridgepoint Collaboratory for Research and Innovation.
Bridgepoint Active Healthcare and Infrastructure Ontario partnered with Plenary Health to design, build, finance and maintain the new facility for 30 years after completion. Construction started in the fall of 2009, and the facility has been fully operational since April 2013.
Patient services moved to the new hospital building on April 14, 2013. The 10-storey hospital building is adjacent to the former Don Jail building (completed in 1864), which now serves as the administrative wing of the hospital. The new building officially opened on June 25, 2013.

Lily McNicholas

Lily McNicholas (16 October 1909 – 5 March 1998) was an Irish nurse who volunteered in the Second World War. On 7 August 1944, McNicholas survived the sinking of the "Amsterdam;" a hospital carrier transporting casualties to Britain from Normandy, France. The incident was widely reported in the press after the "London Gazette" announced that McNicholas and two other nurses were to be awarded the M.B.E. for their heroic actions.
Early years.
McNicholas was born on Kiltimagh, Mayo, Ireland to Thomas and Bridget McNicholas. After attending the St. Louis Convent Secondary School in the town, she left Ireland in the 1930s to study nursing in England.
Career.
Little is known of McNicholas' early nursing career, but on 5 October 1942 she was granted a commission as a Sister (No. 246129) in the Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service (QAIMNS) Reserve. McNicholas joined an estimated 70,000 men and women from Ireland, who served in the British forces over the course of the Second World War.
Sinking of the "Amsterdam".
The "Amsterdam" was on her third cross-Channel voyage to pick up Allied casualties and German prisoners of war from the Battle of the Falaise Pocket, when disaster occurred. There are differing accounts of what caused the "Amsterdam" to sink. An official record states that the sinking was the result of "enemy action," and it was widely reported in the press that the ship was hit by a torpedo. Other accounts, including the testimony of a sailor on board, agree that the ship struck a German mine.
The impact of the mine destroyed one half of the vessel, killing all the men in the engine room. As the ship lay broken and sinking in the water, McNicholas disregarded her place in No. 3 Water Ambulance, going back into the ship to bring grievously injured men up from the hospital deck. It reportedly took eight minutes for the ship to sink, with the loss of 106 lives including ten medical staff.
McNicholas was forced to jump from the ship as it capsized. Unable to swim, she 'fell ill' and was assisted in the water by the ship's captain. On the arrival of an American cutter, McNicholas was rescued from the sea and continued to provide medical aid to the injured men as they were pulled from the water.
M.B.E. award.
McNicholas was recommended for an M.B.E. in recognition of "gallant conduct in carrying out hazardous work in a very brave manner." According to a magazine article written in 2013, McNicholas declined to attend her investiture at Buckingham Palace, travelling instead to visit the bereaved parents of her best friend. McNicholas had tragically witnessed fellow nurse Molly Evershed go down with the ship after getting stuck in a porthole trying to escape. According to some sources, McNicholas was awarded an O.B.E but correspondence from the War Office; the official recommendation record; medal and medal case, show that McNicholas did in fact receive an M.B.E.
Later life.
McNicholas went on to postings in London, Egypt and Bombay, demobilising in March 1946 and released from service in June that year. She moved to Chicago in 1947, where she continued nursing in hospitals and for the International Harvester company. McNicholas retired in 1976 and resided in Oak Lawn, Illinois, until she died in 1998.
Legacy.
McNicholas' M.B.E. medal, War Office correspondence and life jacket from the "Amsterdam" can be seen at the Kiltimagh Museum in Mayo, Ireland. 'Sister Lily McNicholas' is featured in the "Our Irish Women" temporary exhibition, on display at the National Museum of Ireland - Country Life, during October and November 2018.

Katherine Samaras

Katherine Samaras is the laboratory head at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research. She holds positions at St Vincent's Clinic, and University of New South Wales, as well as the University of Notre Dame.
Career.
Samaras works in clinical care in endocrinology and metabolism, including diabetes, metabolism and obesity, thyroid conditions, polycystic ovary syndrome, osteoporosis, as well as adrenal and pituitary conditions. She is the clinical face for the campaign NSW Health’s "Make Healthy Normal". She is an editor of the open access obesity journal Frontiers in Endocrinology.
Samaras gave a TEDx talk on preventable conditions, and health, "our most valuable public resource, which we should do everything to protect" titled "Starve to Survive", with 70,000 views, on intermittent fasting. She describes obesity, diabetes, as based on the lifestyle, of reduced exercise, increased food consumption, and on genetic differences.
Samaras had over 140 publications, and an H index of 40, as at July 2019. She is also co-author of three books. With Ian N. Scobie she wrote "Fast Facts: Diabetes Mellitus", now in its 5th edition. She also co-wrote two books with Garry Egger — "Professor Trim's Quick Start weight-loss program for diabetes and blood sugar control" and "Professor Trim's Quick Start : the weight-loss program for new mothers and mothers-to-be" — both published by Allen & Unwin.
Obesity research.
Samaras described the weight and seasonal changes. Global studies show people putting on weight when seasons change, and Samaras urged people in NSW not to fall for the same trap in a NSW Health publication in 2018. Obesity is a serious public health issue with one in two adults in NSW being overweight or obese.
Samaras stated, “The hibernation pattern of animals such as bears is well known but people don’t always think about how their habits change too when temperatures drop”.
“The winter months cause changes to our internal biological clocks – our circadian rhythms – which affects how we sleep and when we wake, our metabolism, our desire to be outdoors and even perhaps our desire for richer foods.” She points out, “In the US, studies indicate people commonly put on 2–3kgs in autumn and winter. We don’t have specific data on seasonal inactivity in Australia, but our experience is likely to be similar and for some people those small gains each year will accumulate.”
A 2019 article reported that genomic map revealed that "not all fat is created equal". Her study showed the first comprehensive genomic map that revealed unique features, which appear to ‘hard-wire’ different types of fat early in cell development.
Archibald Prize.
A portrait of Samaras was a finalist in the 2019 Archibald Prize, painted by Sinead Davies, who has been managed by endocrinologist Samaras for some years for a serious health issue. Davies described Samaras’s composure “‘Her composure, professionalism and humanity instantly impressed me,’ says Davies. ‘The sitting was done in her office, where she mostly consults, and where she has surrounded herself with objects that she loves, including an Asian folding screen featuring white flowers and a small bird. In feng shui, birds signify the arrival of good news and opportunities, and flowers indicate a love of nature.’”

Yarra Bend Asylum

Yarra Bend Asylum was the first permanent institution established in Victoria that was devoted to the treatment of the mentally ill. It opened in 1848 as a ward of the Asylum at Tarban Creek in New South Wales. It was not officially called Yarra Bend Asylum until July 1851 when the Port Phillip District separated from the Colony of New South Wales. Prior to the establishment of Yarra Bend, lunatic patients had been kept in the District's gaols. Yarra Bend was proclaimed an Asylum under the provisions of the Lunacy Statute 1867 (No.309) in the Government Gazette in October 1867.
From its establishment until 1905 the institution at Yarra Bend was known as an asylum. This title emphasised its function as a place of refuge rather than a hospital which provided treatment for mentally ill people who could possibly be cured. The Lunacy Act 1903 (No.1873) changed the title of all "asylums" to "hospitals for the insane". This Act came into operation in 1905. Despite the change in designation the function and structure of the agency was unchanged. The title was altered to reflect the community's changing attitude towards mental illness and the Victorian Government's approach to the treatment of mentally disturbed persons.
An asylum/hospital for the insane was any public building proclaimed by the Governor-in-Council in the Government Gazette as a place for the reception of lunatics. An asylum could also provide wards for the temporary reception of patients as well as long term patients. Patients could not be retained in an asylum without a warrant requesting their admission. Prior to 1867 the warrant was signed by the Governor. After this date the Chief Secretary (VRG 26) was responsible for this function. Under the provisions of the Lunacy Act 1914 (No.2539) patients could also be admitted to a hospital for the insane on a voluntary basis, that is, on the patient's own request for a specified period of time.
The Yarra Bend Asylum was situated near the junction of Merri Creek and the Yarra River near the former site of Fairlea Women's Prison.
Decline and closure.
The Government of Victoria originally intended that Yarra Bend would be closed once Kew, Ararat and Beechworth asylums were established. However, the gold rush caused a population explosion in the colony, increasing the burden on the new asylums. This was compounded by the practice of housing 'inebriates', 'idiots' and 'imbeciles' at lunatic asylums up until the 1880s.
Overcrowding, and the primitive living conditions, were problems at Yarra Bend over a long period. The overcrowding was relieved to some extent when new asylums were opened at Royal Park, and Mont Park in the metropolitan area, and Sunbury outside the metropolitan district. Victorian Premier Sir Thomas Bent decided in 1905 that no more money was to be spent on Yarra Bend, and the buildings fell further into disrepair. Despite that, the asylum continued to operate until new admissions eventually ceased in 1924, and the institution was finally closed in 1925. All remaining patients were transferred to Mont Park Asylum.
Demolition and Later Use.
In 1926 many of the wooden buildings were demolished, leaving the ha-ha wall, gateway and infirmary building. The closure of the asylum saw much of the land released for public use. The infirmary building became part of the Fairhaven Venereal Disease Clinic. After Fairhaven's closure, the gates, walls and infirmary were incorporated into Fairlea Women's Prison which was built on the site. The prison was severely damaged by fire in 1982, and the asylum structures were demolished as a result. The only visible remaining structure is one of the 1860 gate pillars which was relocated to the opposite side of Yarra Bend Road, though some of the bluestone and brick foundation walls of the asylum still exist below ground level.
Cemetery.
Inmates who died at Yarra Bend Asylum were usually interred in unmarked, common graves within the asylum grounds. Families who wished their relative to be buried in a single grave were required to pay an extra fee. The exact number of interments that took place, and their location, is unknown, but it has been suggested as many as 1,200 former inmates were buried in up to 400 graves.
According to Parks Victoria, the cemetery was located along the banks of the Yarra, on what is today a practice fairway of the Yarra Bend public golf course.


Margaret and Charles Juravinski Centre

The Margaret and Charles Juravinski Centre is a psychiatric hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. It serves the south-central Ontario, Canada population. It was originally established in 1876 as the Hamilton Hospital for the Insane, which was operated by the Ontario government until it was taken over by the St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton in 2000.
History.
Like many of the old psychiatric hospitals in Ontario, the Juravinski Centre replaced the ancient and obsolete Hamilton Psychiatric Hospital. Remnants of a patchwork of old buildings, tunnels and monuments are still in service and serve as remembrance to days gone by.
Originally called the Hamilton Hospital for the Insane, later renamed to the "Ontario Hospital" and finally the "Hamilton Psychiatric Hospital" before transfer of operations. The asylum began operation in 1876 with 202 patients, originally a population considered 'inebriated'.
The hospital was isolated but was mostly self-sufficient including a farm, bakery, greenhouse, butcher's shop, root cellar, tailor's shop, sewing room, fire hall, upholstery shop, power house, a bowling green, tennis courts and chapel along with a fleet of vehicles to transport the nearly 915 patients and 119 employees it housed by 1890.
At the turn of the century, the hospital commissioned a training school for psychiatric nursing and by 1956 had graduated over 240 nurses.
The Hamilton Psychiatric Hospital was owned and operated by the Ontario government for over 124 years. By November 2000, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton gained control and has been operating as the Margaret and Charles Juravinski Centre under the auspices of St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton.
Programmes at this McMaster University Campus contribute to a reduction in disability and the stigma that often comes attached to diagnosis of mental illness or addiction.
"West 5th" (based on the street the hospital occupies), as it is colloquially known, concentrates on early intervention, outreach services, rehabilitation, recovery and integration into the community.
Services.
Included in the healthcare offered at Juravinski Centre are Concurrent Disorders Program; Men's Addiction Service Hamilton (MASH); Peter Boris Centre for Addictions Research; and the Womankind Addiction Service.
Mental health services available include:
Other facilities.
The centre includes a library dedicated to Pope Francis; a salon; fitness and physio recovery centres; museum; a thrift shop; a cafe and restaurant staffed by survivors of mental illness; a Tim Hortons and an auditorium and conference rooms for events.
Patients of the Margaret and Charles Juravinski Centre can attend Mohawk College nearby, with the assistance of vocational therapy.

Roland Shortt

Roland Henry Shortt (7 August 1898 – 8 August 1963) was an Irish first-class cricketer.
Shortt was born at Dublin in August 1898, where he was educated in the city at The High School, Dublin. Shortt first played club cricket in Dublin for Merrion Cricket Club, before leaving to play for Pembroke in 1922. Shortt later made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Ireland against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Dublin in 1934. Batting twice in the match, Shortt was dismissed without scoring in Ireland's first-innings by Denijs Morkel, while in their second-innings he was once again dismissed without scoring, this time by Reginald Butterworth. He bowled 18 wicket-less overs for 44 runs in the MCC first-innings, while in their second-innings he dismissed Morkel, Brian Belle and Erroll Tremlett, finishing with figures of 3/22 from 8 overs. He did not appear for Ireland after this match, but did continue to play club cricket for Pembroke until 1949, after which he joined YMCA. Outside of cricket, he worked as a dentist.

Health regions of Canada

Health regions, also called health authorities, are a governance model used by Canada's provincial governments to administer and deliver public health care to all Canadian residents.
Health care is designated a provincial responsibility under the separation of powers in Canada's federal system. Most health regions or health authorities are organized along geographic boundaries, however, some are organized along operational lines.


Ernst Philipp Karl Lange

Ernst Philipp Karl Lange (21 December 181320 February 1899) was a German novelist who wrote under the pseudonym Philipp Galen.
Biography.
He was born at Potsdam, studied medicine at Berlin (1835–1840), and on taking his degree, in 1840, entered the Prussian army as a surgeon. In this capacity, he saw service in the Schleswig-Holstein campaign of 1849, where he was in charge of a field hospital. He settled at Bielefeld as medical practitioner and here issued his first novel, "Der Inselkonig" ("King of the ISland", 1852, 3rd ed., 1858), which enjoyed considerable popularity. In Bielefeld he continued to work at his profession and to write, until his retirement, with the rank of "Oberstabsarzt" (surgeon-general), to Potsdam in 1878, where he died.
Literary production.
During his lifetime, Lange was described as "a pleasing realist with no special tendency." His novels are distinguished by local colouring and pretty, though not powerful, descriptions of manners and customs. He particularly favored scenes of English life, though he had never been in that country, and on the whole he succeeded well in his descriptions.
Chief among his novels are:
His "Gesammelte Schriften" appeared in 36 vols, 1857-1866. "Der Irre von St James" was reprinted as late as 2001.

Percie Charlton

Percie Chater Charlton (9 April 1867 – 30 September 1954) was an Australian cricketer who played in two Tests in England in 1890 and played first-class cricket for New South Wales from 1888 to 1897.
Cricket career.
Charlton was regarded as an all-rounder, but he was more successful with his fast-medium bowling than with his batting. He was also an excellent slips fieldsman. A return of 7 for 44 against South Australia in February 1890 led to his selection in the Australian team to tour England later that year.
In his two Test matches in England, he didn't score many runs (6,2,10,11) but can claim the "honour" of being dismissed LBW to WG Grace in the second innings of the first test. Charlton didn't bowl in the first test, however in the first innings of the second he took 3 wickets for 18 runs off 6 overs. Unfortunately, he didn't get a decent opportunity to bowl as it seems in this early period of cricket both teams had a strong tendency to bowl their two top bowlers "into the ground". For example, Australia's two top bowlers in the second innings of the first test bowling 48 overs between them with only Charlton bowling the other 6. This was more the rule than the exception at least during this series.
He played cricket for many years for I Zingari, and served as the club's president from 1928 to 1947, and its patron from 1947 till his death in 1954. He was then made its patron in perpetuity.
Life.
Charlton went to school at Sydney Grammar School and became a highly qualified dentist, having graduated from the Harvard University School of Dental Medicine, studied at Edinburgh University and Glasgow University, and taught at the University of Sydney.
Charlton married Florence Bradford in the Sydney suburb of Neutral Bay on 15 May 1894. He was an uncle of the New South Wales state cricketer Claude Tozer, and also of the Olympic swimmer Boy Charlton.

Roberta Jull

Roberta Henrietta Margaritta Jull (née Stewart, 16 August 1872 in Glasgow, Scotland – 6 March 1961 in Subiaco, Western Australia) was a medical doctor who, spurred by poor living conditions and high infant mortality, worked towards social reform.
Early life.
Roberta Stewart was born in Glasgow, the second of four children of Isabella Henrietta (née Fergusson) and Robert Stewart, a minister of the Free Church in Lisbon. Roberta was educated in London and Scotland, returning to Portugal to care for her mother, who died in 1890. Her father encouraged her to achieve her educational ambitions in medicine, and, following her elder brother, with another brother attended Glasgow University. Women were excluded from lectures for male students, instead attending Queen Margaret College and the Royal Infirmary. She graduated MB CM (Bachelor of Medicine and Master of Surgery) in 1896, having spent an extra year studying eye diseases, then joined her brothers' medical practice at Guildford, Western Australia. Here she became dismayed by the living conditions and high infant mortality among her patients.
In 1897, having become a member of the influential Karrakatta Club, she became the first woman to establish a practice in Perth, Western Australia, taking a leading part in improving the standard of women's and infant health services in the state and becoming a respected force and agitator for social reform. In 1898, she was as a founding member of the British Medical Association, Western Australian Branch. Close associates included Edith Cowan and Lady Onslow. The group of well-connected and wealthy ladies actively petitioned the government for women's and social reform issues, establishing several reformist organisations.
In 1898 she married Martin Jull, Under Secretary for the Public Works Department and afterwards the state's first Public Service Commissioner for Western Australia. Her only daughter, Henrietta Drake-Brockman, was an Australian novelist and playwright. In 1916 Jull became a member of the Senate for the University of Western Australia.
She became chief medical officer for schools at the Western Australian Public Health Department in 1925 and in 1930 was a member of the Australian delegation to the League of Nations congress.
Jull retired from public activities in 1945 owing to increasing deafness; she died in 1961 at Subiaco, and her ashes were scattered over her husband's grave.
Jull Place in the Canberra suburb of Chifley is named in her honour.
