CHAPTER VIII THE STATE TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATIONS A HISTORY of the National Tuberculosis Association should AA logically include a brief survey of the work of the various state associations. For many years the National Association's work was largely that of organizing state bodies. Within the last four or five years, however, it has been the stimulation and standardization of tuberculosis work throughout the state organizations. At the present time there is a state association in every state and in the District of Columbia., The local associations in New York City, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, and Chicago are treated by the National Tuberculosis Association in the same relation as state associations, and are designated as "affiliated associations." This section, therefore, will deal with the history of the work in each of the 48 state associations, the District of Columbia, and the four affiliated associations. For purpose of convenience the state and affiliated associations are grouped alphabetically. The information contained in this section has been compiled from reports received by the author and from records on file in the office of the National Tuberculosis Association. The information concerning deaths and death-rates is taken entirely from the records of the United States Census Bureau for the Registration Area of the United States in order that the figures may be uniform and comparable. While figures are available from state registrars for most of the states, they are not as comparable, one with another, as those from the Registration Area. Where no death-rate figures are given, it may be assumed that none are available, the state not being included in the Registration Area. 76 ALABAMA TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION The active campaign...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuberculosis emerged as an epidemic in the 1600s, began to decline as sanitation improved in the 19th century, and retreated further when effective therapy was developed in the 1950s. TB was virtually forgotten until a recent resurgence in the U.S. and around the worldâ€"ominously, in forms resistant to commonly used medicines. What must the nation do to eliminate TB? The distinguished committee from the Institute of Medicine offers recommendations in the key areas of epidemiology and prevention, diagnosis and treatment, funding and organization of public initiatives, and the U.S. role worldwide. The panel also focuses on how to mobilize policy makers and the public to effective action. The book provides important background on the pathology of tuberculosis, its history and status in the U.S., and the public and private response. The committee explains how the U.S. can act with both self-interest and humanitarianism in addressing the worldwide incidence of TB.

Adolphus Knopf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the National Tuberculosis Association the Anti-Tuberculosis Movement in the United States In preparing the history, I wrote first an introductory part, out lining in a general way the beginning and development of the tuberculosis movement in general and the National Tuberculosis Association in particular, and including a section on the Sixth International Congress and a chapter on the work of the various state associations. The remaining parts of the book deal with the proceedings of the various annual meetings of the Association, the biographies of the officers, lists of their contributions to tuber culosis literature, a description of the war work in tuberculosis of the Surgeon Generals of the U. 5. Army, the U. S. N avy, and the U. S. Public Health Service, a list of books, pamphlets, and leaflets issued by the Association, and lastly, the tuberculosis bibliography of the author. In this way the history has become not a mere chronicle of events alone, but a record of the men who brought these events to pass.

Book excerpt: The riveting history of tuberculosis, the world’s most lethal disease, the two men whose lives it tragically intertwined, and the birth of medical science. In 1875, tuberculosis was the deadliest disease in the world, accountable for a third of all deaths. A diagnosis of TB—often called consumption—was a death sentence. Then, in a triumph of medical science, a German doctor named Robert Koch deployed an unprecedented scientific rigor to discover the bacteria that caused TB. Koch soon embarked on a remedy—a remedy that would be his undoing. When Koch announced his cure for consumption, Arthur Conan Doyle, then a small-town doctor in England and sometime writer, went to Berlin to cover the event. Touring the ward of reportedly cured patients, he was horrified. Koch’s “remedy” was either sloppy science or outright fraud. But to a world desperate for relief, Koch’s remedy wasn’t so easily dismissed. As Europe’s consumptives descended upon Berlin, Koch urgently tried to prove his case. Conan Doyle, meanwhile, returned to England determined to abandon medicine in favor of writing. In particular, he turned to a character inspired by the very scientific methods that Koch had formulated: Sherlock Holmes. Capturing the moment when mystery and magic began to yield to science, The Remedy chronicles the stunning story of how the germ theory of disease became a true fact, how two men of ambition were emboldened to reach for something more, and how scientific discoveries evolve into social truths.

Download or read book Dr. Charles David Spivak written by Jeanne Abrams and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2009-05-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part biography, part medical history, and part study of Jewish life in turn-of-the-century America, Jeanne Abrams's book tells the story of Dr. Charles David Spivak - a Jewish immigrant from Russia who became one of the leaders of the American Tuberculosis Movement. Born in Russia in 1861, Spivak immigrated to the United States in 1882 and received his medical degree from Philadelphia's Jefferson Medical College by 1890. In 1896, his wife's poor health brought them to Colorado. Determined to find a cure, Spivak became one of the most charismatic and well-known leaders in the American Tuberculosis Movement. His role as director of Denver's Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society sanatorium allowed his personal philosophies to strongly influence policies. His unique blend of Yiddishkeit, socialism, and secularism - along with his belief in treating the "whole" patient - became a model for integrating medical, social, and rehabilitation services that was copied across the country. Not only a national leader in the crusade against tuberculosis but also a luminary in the American Jewish community, Dr. Charles Spivak was a physician, humanitarian, writer, linguist, journalist, administrator, social worker, ethnic broker, and medical, public health, and social crusader. Abrams's biography will be a welcome addition to anyone interested in the history of medicine, Jewish life in America, or Colorado history.

Book excerpt: "The public health care state has developed as completely decentralized, in collaboration with voluntary organizations, and under the banner of "non-political" scientific agencies. The early history of this system explains how and why public health leaders were able to hide its growth in later periods. Understanding this foundational history is important for three reasons. First, the state-voluntary collaboration shaped the U.S. health care system, leaving it fragmented and unequal. Second, leaders in the public health coalition characterized the state's close collaboration with the voluntary sector as "private provision," abetting the beginning of the American Myth and setting the stage for grow-and-hide. And third, this formative history provides insight as to why the mixture of public and private "has been so ubiquitous in American history as to be almost invisible.""--
