In the summer of 1982, hospital emergency rooms in the San Francisco Bay Area were suddenly confronted with mysteriously frozen patients young men and women who, though conscious, could neither move nor speak. Doctors were baffled, until neurologist J. William Langston, recognizing the symptoms of advanced Parkinsons disease, administered L-dopa the only known effective treatment and unfroze his patient. Dr. Langston determined that this patient and five others had all used the same tainted batch of synthetic heroin, inadvertently laced with a toxin that had destroyed an area of their brains essential to normal movement. This same area, the substantia nigra, slowly deteriorates in Parkinsons disease.As scientists raced to capitalize on this breakthrough, Dr. Langston struggled to salvage the lives of his frozen patients, for whom L-dopa provided only short-term relief. The solution he found lay in the most daring area of research: fetal-tissue transplants.The astonishing recovery of two of his patients garnered worldwide press coverage, helped overturn federal restrictions on fetal-tissue research, and offered hope to millions suffering from Parkinsons, Alzheimers, and other degenerative brain disorders.This is the story behind the headline a spellbinding account that brings to life the intellectual excitement, ethical dilemmas, and fierce competitiveness of medical research.

8vo. [8], 216 pp. Figs., index. Printed hardcover. Letter from Caroline Hannaway and Victoria A. Harden, presenting medical historian Russell C. Maulitz with a complimentary copy of the work. Very good. ISBN: 9051991908 "AIDS has had a history of little more than a decade, but its impact on society has been so significant and its effects so diverse that it is not too early to begin to analyze the ways in which this disease has shaped our world and our reactions to it. Indeed, this is not the first book to attempt such an analysis. The unique feature of this volume, and the conference on which it is based, is that it brings together two very different and complementary perspectives. Some of the contributions are by physicians and scientists who have been and still are participating in AIDS research and the making of AIDS policy. For example, former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, Anthony S. Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, and James W. Curran of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide personal accounts of these developments. Other contributions are from historians and social scientists, who reflect on their subjects from a more impersonal viewpoint, using the analytical tools of their crafts." â" Introduction. Hannaway is the current Delegate for the American Association for the History of Medicine. Harden "retired in January 2006 as Director of the Office of NIH History and the Stetten Museum at the National Institutes of Health, an office she created during the 1986-87 observance of the NIH centennial" â" NIH. Parascandola was the Historian for the Public Health Service. A quite catholic array of essays devoted to the AIDS crisis and public health.
