History, 18th Century↗

The founding and early years of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.

The Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, one of America's first such institutions, was founded on October 1, 1824, and incorporated on February 23, 1827, by Edward Reynolds, John Jeffries, and a group of charity-minded Bostonians. The Boston men looked, as did the founders of other early U.S. eye infirmaries, to John Cunningham Saunders' London Eye Infirmary for guidance. During its first years the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary knew economic insecurity, but once it earned in the Boston community the reputation of being a worthy charity, its fiscal affairs ceased to be a pressing problem, and it went on to know a growth worthy of the motives of its founders.

The Harrower collection and its place in the history of ophthalmic pathology.

A set of ophthalmic pathology slides made in 1882 by Dr. David Harrower, a Massachusetts physician who studied at Moorfields Eye Hospital, and Mr. W. Jennings Milles, the curator of Moorfields, are reviewed. They are of historical significance, as they were made at a time when microscopic examination of ocular tissues was first being introduced, and they represent one of the earliest examples of the use of celloidin for embedding ocular tissue. The slides are well preserved and contain cases demonstrating a wide spectrum of ocular pathology. The Harrower collection is possibly the oldest existing slide collection of ophthalmic histopathology.

Use of speech pathology services in the burn unit.

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) provide intervention for communication challenges and swallowing disorders (dysphagia) that are common in cases of severe burns because of ventilator use, prolonged or multiple intubations, and tracheostomy tubes. To identify current inclusion of SLP services in burn care management, a survey was sent to 139 burn units across the United States. Results revealed limited inclusion of SLPs in burn care despite pertinent areas of SLP expertise. Education of burn care teams on the benefits of SLP inclusion is needed. Potential benefits in pain and medical management reducing length of hospitalization and increasing cost-effective care by inclusion of SLPs in burn care management warrants further research.
