From 2001- 2010, Mr. Bigler oversaw all aspects of the Madison Center including academic research, public relations, and teacher training. During his tenure at JMU, Mr. Bigler taught courses in American Studies, History, Education and Political Science. Sharon Ann Lane (July 7, 1943 – June 8, 1969) was a United States Army nurse and the only American servicewoman killed as a direct result of enemy fire in the Vietnam War. The Army posthumously awarded Lane the Bronze Star Medal for heroism on June 8, 1969. In 1969, Lane was named Outstanding Army Nurse of the Year by the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1973, a life-size bronze statue of Lane was dedicated at Aultman Hospital School of Nursing's courtyard (moved later to the building's entrance) in Canton, Ohio. In 1986, the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 199 in Canton, Ohio, was named the Sharon Lane Memorial Chapter. More

Ireland: Elsevier Scientific Publishers Ireland Ltd., 1988. Xerox (or equivalent) reprint of the original article. Staplebound with one staple in top left corner. This is a reprinted from Toxicology, 49 (1988) 299-307. Sticker residue on first page. Pages 299-307, [1]. References. The author was associated with the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI). This research was supported by the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) under work unit B4096. Views presented in this paper are those of the author. Topics covered include radiation-induced performance decrement, and early transient incapacitation. A potentially significant hazard for future space missions is radiation. Situations including space radiations, task demands can aggravate the radiation-disruption; efforts to mitigate disruption with drugs or shielding are not satisfactory; and space- and radiation-induced emesis combined may be synergistic. Thus, future space travel will be a demanding, exciting time for behavioral toxicologists, and creative application of scientific expertise should illicit solutions, similar to demanding situations confronted before.

Washington, DC: United States Government Printing Office, 1988. Second United States Revision. Stiff boards. xxiv, 446 pages. Illustrations. Tables. Glossary of Drugs with National Nomenclatures. Ex-library with usual library markings. Some markings blacked out. Format is approximately 5.25 inches by 8 inches. If this surgical handbook is on the mark in achieving its objective, it will have provided you with specific guidelines or general principles governing the management of the foregoing 200 randomly selected battle casualties. There are some who will perceive this handbook guidance as too rigid or prescriptive, and leaving too little room for the individual surgeons judgment. On the contrary, these lessons and countless others have had to be learned and relearned by generations of surgeons pressed into the combat surgical environment. These very standardized approaches are necessitated by the echeloned management of casualties by many different practitioners at several different sites along a diverse evacuation chain, as opposed to the civil sector in which an individual surgeon can hold and manage an individual patient throughout that patient's entire course. These standardized approaches has repeatedly provided the highest standard of care to the greatest number of casualties. More

Beverly, MA: Memoirs Unlimited, 2011. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. xi, [1], 527, [13] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index of Names. General Index. Gift inscription, from Roman DeSanctis, a noted cardiologist, on fep! Author Webster Bull is a writer of institutional histories. He began his publishing career by founding Memoirs Unlimited in 1988, helping people write and publish their life stories. In 1998, he and his wife Katie Bull founded Commonwealth Editions, a publisher of nonfiction books about Boston, Cape Cod, and other New England destinations. Meanwhile, Webster focused on writing projects for families and larger organizations. The Mass General history, begun in 2007, is the most ambitious in this line of writing projects. Co-author Martha Bull is a 2007 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Chicago and, beginning in 2010, an MFA candidate at Columbia University. In between, she worked with her father Webster Bull on the Mass General history. This sweeping history, drawn from archival resources and personal interviews, traces the development of Massachusetts General Hospital from a hospital with only two doctors and a handful of patients to its present position as one of the most prestigious hospitals in the world, and the largest hospital-based biomedical research institution in the U. S. Today, Mass General is not merely a "quaternary care" mecca, for the treatment of patients with the rarest conditions; it is also a research powerhouse, where physician scientists search for everything from a cure for AIDS to the origins of life in the universe. In addition, it is one of the most sought-after places of training for young doctors. More

Items listed at page 16 are at page 18. Dr. Busch was both an M.D. and a Ph.D. and was with the Department of Environmental and Toxicology Pathology at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. The subject of injury by cancer chemotherapy drugs has received relatively little attention. Many of these drugs have in common with radiation such features as mutagenicity and the ability to deplete parenchymal cells. They also have organ specific effects. In recognition of the importance of this topic, this slide set has been prepared to illustrate some of there effects. Also included are several examples of injury by chemical warfare agents, which share with the chemotherapy drugs an expectation of injury to persons exposed; some overlap in their pathologic manifestations; and in some cases the potential for damage to the genetic material. In addition, war gases share with radiation the potential for injury to both military and civilian personnel on a large scale. More

He came to the United States as an actor. During World War I he was an ambulance driver for the American Field Service. His letters home were published in a book, “Ambulance No. 10”, which was based on a series of letters. After traveling to Paris he joined the American Ambulance Field Service. Between June and October, 1915 he exhibited such valor in driving ambulances from the front that the French awarded him the Croix de Guerre. He returned to help John Hays Hammond, Jr. with the development of radio controlled guided missiles. After the U.S. entry into WWII he joined the Army and served in the Signal Corps. After the war, Mr. Buswell again engaged in research in electronics with Mr. Hammond, Jr. in Gloucester. In the nineteen twenties he built a home in the style of a 16th Century English manor house, overlooking Gloucester harbor, with a 200 seat theater beside it. During World War II Mr. Buswell served overseas in the United States Air Force. He served in the Eighth and Ninth Air Forces in England and was involved in the D-Day invasion, for which he received the Bronze Star and a second Croix de Guerre with Palm. He was a liaison officer to the Royal Family, and received the King’s Medal. He was a past commander in chief of the Military Order of the World Wars. More
