    Extractions: Dr. David A. Stewart was the eldest son of Francis Beattie Stewart and Elizabeth Farquharson Stewart who left Aberdeenshire in the UK, and settled at Fletcher, Ontario, until 1891 when they moved to Morden, Manitoba. After graduation from Arts, and two preliminary years in Theology at Manitoba College, the young Stewart spent his summer at the mission in Frank, Alberta. Here, he met and befriended Dr. George Malcolmson, who had recently opened a small hospital beside his home. As a result of his summer with Dr. Malcolmson, Stewart opted for a change in vocation. Returning again to Manitoba in the Fall, Stewart resumed study not in Theology, but in Medicine, and emerged four years later, Dr. D.A. Stewart. To support his medical studies, Stewart became a reporter for the Winnipeg Free Press, and then followed with a residency at Winnipeg General Hospital. After spending some time working in various hospitals in New York City, attending the World TB Congress in Washington in 1908, and completing an assistantship in a Connecticut sanatorium, Dr. Stewart returned once again to Manitoba. At this time, he accepted a position with the Sanatorium Board, who wished to open a tuberculosis sanatorium in Manitoba. Dr. Stewart's dedication to his cause, applied through travel and lectures for raising funds, made him a target for the very disease he was trying to fight. For a short time, Dr. Stewart became a patient himself, at the Trudeau Sanatorium at Saranac Lake, New York

    Extractions: genome gateway papers Mycobacterium tuberculosis The complete genome sequence of the tuberculosis bacillus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis , was presented in Nature in June 1998. This slow-growing pathogen is among the most recalcitrant in terms of clinical treatment, so there was particular interest in what the sequence revealed about its biology. The remarkably large proportion of its coding capacity devoted to producing enzymes involved in lipogenesis and lipolysis was immediately evident. CNRI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY article

    Extractions: To RETURN OF THE BASICS: HUMANITYS COUNTER-OFFENSIVE In 1984, the Public Health Service reported that the number of tuberculosis cases reported annually in 1953 had declined by 74 percent. It was widely believed that modern medicine had all but eradicated this potentially fatal disease. The wake-up call alerting the public to the resurgence of tuberculosis came between 1985 and 1993, when the number of cases reported in the United States began to increase steadily and dramatically. Today TB is back, and if proper measures are not taken to educate people about this preventable disease, infection rates will continue to rise at an alarming rate. Someone is infected with tuberculosis every second.

    Mike Norton reports in the Traverse City RecordEagle on the history and current status of the former tuberculosis sanatorium in Gaylord, Michigan.

    Extractions: GAYLORD - Forget the faux Suisse frills on the Alpenstrasse, and even St. Mary's Cathedral, which looks more like a half-sunken alien Mother Ship than anything else. If you want to see the best architecture Gaylord has to offer, you've got to head north of town to the J. Richard Yuill Alpine Center. Built in 1937 as a 128-bed tuberculosis sanitarium, the Alpine Center was the work of the Depression-era Works Progress Administration. In the 1960s it became the Gaylord State Home, a residential and training institution for people with developmental disabilities. Today it houses a variety of state, county and other public offices. Even though the big four-story main building is in a somewhat severe style, it's full of decorative touches that have long vanished from today's public buildings. But the stars of the complex are the cottages and other outbuildings: built of red brick with white stone sills, copper guttering and steep dark roofs. In a way, they're Gaylord's version of the Traverse City State Hospital complex - except that they're in much better shape.

    Extractions: March 2002 Tuberculosis M. tuberculosis . TB is a chronic bacterial infection. It is spread through the air and usually infects the lungs, although other organs are sometimes involved. Most persons that are infected with M. tuberculosis harbor the bacterium without symptoms but many develop active TB disease. Each year, 8 million people worldwide develop active TB and 3 million die. Is TB a problem in the United States? In the United States, TB has re-emerged as a serious public health problem. In 2001, based on provisional data reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of cases has decreased for the ninth straight year to 15,991 cases of active TB (infection with full-blown disease symptoms). This all-time low is due largely to improved public health control measures. In addition to those with active TB, however, an estimated 10 to 15 million people in the United States are infected with M. tuberculosis

    Extractions: on page 2667. D uring the early years of the past century, one of every five persons in the United States developed active tuberculosis. The disease was the leading killer of that time, the "captain of all men of death." After 1953, the incidence of tuberculosis declined by almost 75 percent, to a low of 9.3 cases per 100,000 general population in 1985. Beginning in 1986, an unexpected resurgence of tuberculosis occurred in the United States, with the incidence of the disease rising to 10.5 cases per 100,000 population by 1992. Contributing factors included the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic, the immigration of large numbers of persons from countries in which tuberculosis is highly prevalent, the rise of multidrug-resistant mycobacterial organisms and the decline of local tuberculosis control programs.

Today, most of the building on this property remain vacant and many are in a severe state of deterioration Demolition by neglect is an unacceptable fate for New York's landmark buildings. The Friends of Terra Cotta is particularly concerned about the exacerbated condition of the ceramic murals and ornament which surround the tops of the Women's Ward Pavilions, buildings #1 - #4. These remarkable works were produced in Delft, Holland by De Porceleyne Fles Numerous tile experts have been interested in seeing these and they will be featured in an upcoming publication by Hans Van Lemmen. After a visit in late February 1998, during which some of these horrendous conditions were documented, it is clear that we must make the city take appropriate action.

    Health information on tuberculosis, a sometimes crippling and deadly disease. It is on the rise and is revisiting both the developed and developing world.  
    http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/health-info/dis-cond/tb/tb.html
    
    Extractions: Go to PDF Version Tuberculosis (TB) Tuberculosis, a sometimes crippling and deadly disease, is on the rise and is revisiting both the developed and developing world. Globally, it is the leading cause of deaths resulting from a single infectious disease. Currently, it kills three million people a year and, if the present trend continues, it is likely to claim more than 30 million lives within the next decade. Recent increases in migration have rapidly mixed infected with uninfected communities and contributed to the spread of the disease. WHAT IS TUBERCULOSIS? The second stage of the disease is manifested by destruction or "consumption" of the tissues of the affected organ. When the lung is affected, it results in diminished respiratory capacity, associated with other symptoms; when other organs are affected, even if treated adequately, it may leave permanent, disabling scar tissue. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? The primary stage of the disease may be symptom-free, or the individual may experience a flu-like illness. In the secondary stage, called active disease, there might be a slight fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue and various other symptoms, depending on the part of the body affected. Tuberculosis of the lung is usually associated with a dry cough that eventually leads to a productive cough with blood-stained sputum. There might also be chest pain and shortness of breath. This secondary stage, if affecting the lungs, is the contagious stage - when the bacteria can be spread to others.
