Tetanus Antitoxin

As a surgeon, Dr. Wesley Furste has been interested in two anaerobic infections - tetanus and gas gangrene -from the time he served as a surgeon with the United States Army, 22nd Field Hospital, in China in the 1943-1946 period. There, Dr. Furste saw Chinese soldiers who developed tetanus and died because they did not have the benefit of tetanus toxoid. There, also, he saw Chinese soldiers have limbs amputated because gas gangrene developed in bullet and shrapnel wounds which had been closed primarily. At the termination of his Army duty and in the year following, Dr. Furste collaborated in studies concerning the etiology, pathology, clinical picture, prophylaxis and treatment of gas gangrene under a contract with the United States Office of Scientific Research and Development. Dr. Furste's interest in superior tetanus prophylaxis was considerably stimulated when he had to care for the vice president of a large drug and medical instrument distributing company. This patient developed severe serum sickness following the administration of heterologous tetanus antitoxin prepared from horse serum. In 1965, Dr. Furste was invited by President Johnson to attend his White House signing of the Community Health Services Extension Amendments Act of 1965. One of the purposes of this Act of 1965 was to make available throughout the nation adequate amounts of tetanus toxoid. Dr. Furste was an invited essayist and participant at the Second International Conference on Tetanus, which was held in Bern, Switzerland, July 1966.

First Session

From the first days, of the first session, of the first Congress of the United States, the Senate was consumed by an issue that would do immense and lasting political harm to the sitting vice president, John Adams. The issue was a seemingly unimportant one: titles. Adams had strong opinions on what constituted a proper title for important officers of government and, either because he was unconcerned or unaware of the damage it would cause, placed himself in the middle of the brewing dispute. Adams hoped the president would be referred to as, “His highness, the President of the United States of America, and Protector of the Rights of the Same.” The suggestion enraged many, amused some, and was supported by few. He lost the fight over titles and made fast enemies with several of the Senators he was constitutionally obligated to preside over. Adams was savaged in the press, derided in the Senate and denounced by one of his oldest and closest friends. Not simply an isolated incident of political tone-deafness, this event set the stage for the campaign against Adams as a monarchist and provided further proof of his being woefully out of touch.

Abstract The 2020 elections brought to an end one of the most divisive and historic campaigns in the modern era. Former Vice President Joe Biden was elected the 46th President of the United States with the largest number of votes ever cast in a presidential election, defeating incumbent President Donald Trump in the process. The record turnout was especially remarkable in light of the ongoing pandemic surrounding COVID-19 and the roughly 236,000 Americans who had died of the virus prior to the election. This article examines the electoral context of the 2020 elections focusing on elections in both the House and Senate. More specifically, this article examines the candidates, electoral conditions, trends, and outcomes in the primaries as well as the general election. In doing so, we provide a comprehensive descriptive analysis of the climate and outcome of the 2020 congressional elections. Finally, the article closes with a discussion of the broader implications of the election outcomes on both the incoming 117th Congress as well as the upcoming 2022 midterm election.

The Status

This chapter assesses the strengths and weaknesses of Millard Fillmore, focusing on six realms: public communication, organizational capacity, political skill, policy vision, cognitive style, and emotional intelligence. Vice President Fillmore unexpectedly became the thirteenth president of the United States following the death of Zachary Taylor on July 9, 1850. Fillmore had been sidelined in his predecessor's administration, but in his capacity as presiding officer of the Senate, he had carefully followed the heated congressional debate over the status of slavery in the Mexican Cession. Plunged immediately into a crisis when he assumed the presidency, Fillmore played a critical part in the enactment of compromise legislation that appeared at the time to have averted the threat of a war between the slave and free states.

Chapter 4 focuses on Grace’s ties with men in the SWP. In addition to platonic friendships and work relationships she forged with men like James Cannon, Farrell Dobbs, and her brother-in-law, Henry Schultz, Grace also engaged in a romance with Vincent Raymond Dunne for over ten years. Both Grace and Ray were married to other people at the time: Grace had separated from her husband, Gilbert, sometime in the late 1930s, but Ray never left his wife, Jennie. As a result, only a few party insiders knew for certain about the affair. But Grace’s and Ray’s dedication to the SWP, among other factors, drew them together. Their relationship was just one of many within the SWP in which couples enjoyed sharing in the common work of the party. Private relationships became intertwined with public commitments and helped build and sustain the radical politics of those involved, who otherwise faced a world hostile to their beliefs. Of particular importance to Grace’s political career in these years was her run for vice president of the United States in 1948, the press coverage of which included deeply entrenched biases against women running for such high office—some of which still remain today.

History Of

The history of the United States is peppered with Presidents who were unable, for various reasons, to fulfil their duties. Despite this, power never transferred until and unless the President died. Although the Constitution permitted transfer of power to the Vice President, it provided no process to make that happen. Some also believed that a disabled President who handed over power would not be able to retake power if he recovered. This dissuaded Vice Presidents from picking up the reins. A brief glance at history, from President Washington, through Presidents Garfield and Wilson, and on to President Eisenhower, shows why it was so important to pass Section 4. Eisenhower’s leadership and the aftermath of the assassination of President Kennedy set the stage for the Twenty-Fifth Amendment’s passage.

The Impact

In September 2010 Suresh Krishna, vice president of operations and integration at Polaris Industries Inc., a manufacturer of all-terrain vehicles, Side-by-Sides, and snowmobiles, needed to recommend a location for a new plant to manufacture the company's Side-by-Side vehicles.The economic slowdown in the United States had put considerable pressure on Polaris's profits, so the company was considering whether it should follow the lead of other manufacturers and open a facility in a country with lower labor costs. China and Mexico were shortlisted as possible locations for the new factory, which would be the first Polaris manufacturing facility located outside the Midwestern United States. By the end of the year Krishna needed to recommend to the board whether Polaris should build a new plant abroad (near-shored in Mexico or off-shored in China) or continue to manufacture in its American facilities. Evaluate tradeoffs between different geographic locations when establishing a manufacturing facility (off-shoring, near-shoring, and on-shoring) Run a sensitivity analysis on total cost Assess the impact of transportation costs, exchange rates, labor cost rates, lead times, and other assumptions on total costs Identify qualitative factors to be considered when deciding between non-U.S. facility locations, transportation time variability, consumer perceptions, and cultural differences
