Would you trust a medicine that’s been under water for a couple of millennia??áAn early edition article (and a link straight to the PDF) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences analyzes tablets found in a sealed container that was part of the material recovered from the a wreck in the Mediterranean sea off the coast of Tuscany in Italy. The abstract for the article states, “The composition and the form of the Pozzino tablets seem to indicate that they were used for ophthalmic purposes.”
The article is certainly generating a lot of press, from Wired to the Smithsonian to the BBC?áto the Washington Post.
Link to the pdf of the article is available to LSUHSC faculty, staff & students. It can be accessed off-campus with a valid LSUHSC library barcode & PIN. You can find more information at our remote access webpage.
Our colleagues at the Matas Library of the Health Sciences, Tulane Univerity uploaded 6 minutes of footage from 1937, filmed by Richard G. Holcombe when he was an intern, of the fifth Charity Hospital’s demolition. It was constructed in 1833 and was in use for over 100 years until the construction of “Big Charity.”
The footage was conserved in 2004 and does not include audio.
When William C. Von Glahn retired from the Pathology Department in 1957, he donated his collection of historical portraits of famous scientists and doctors to the LSU School of Medicine. The Library received the collection in 1985 and has just recently begun a major project to conserve the images.
The first step in conservation is to unframe the images so that old acidic materials will not damage the portraits going forward. Much to our surprise we discovered 1930s era newspapers used to “stuff” the frames, including a 1935 issue of the New York Journal with a large headline announcing that Huey Long had died and part of a Daily Mirror from 1939 touting the 4th World Series win for the New York Yankees.
