| | DIALOGUES IN MEDICINE: PHYSICIANS AND PATIENTS ON 200 YEARS OF PROGRESS
On Friday, June 22, please join the NEJM community in a live webcast of a full-day symposium that explores how medical research and practice has evolved to improve people’s lives over the past two centuries. An all-star cast will cover four topics —HIV/AIDS, maternal and fetal health, breast cancer, and cardiac disease — through moderated, small-panel discussions. Speakers include experts in the field discussing how the face of the disease has changed over 200 years, health professionals whose endeavors have had an impact on the disease and — most important — patients whose personal stories will illustrate the suffering illness causes, the courage needed to face it, and how advances in medical knowledge can change lives. This live event will be simulcast from 9 AM to 5 PM Eastern time. Visit the 200th anniversary site for more information, including a list of panelists and how to view the event. | |

| | ANNIVERSARY ARTICLES
The latest review in our 200th anniversary series, “Two Hundred Years of Cancer Research,” comes from Drs. Vincent DeVita and Steven Rosenberg. In an overview of the last two centuries of progress and understanding in the field of oncology, they demonstrate the value of patience and investment in research. Previous reviews include surgery, pediatrics, asthma, infectious disease, and coronary artery disease. Look for a new review in neurology and psychiatry in July, and a new Perspective article in the upcoming issue, “The Burden of Disease and the Changing Task of Medicine.” Find all of the anniversary articles on the 200th site. We’ll publish a new one every other week. | |

| IMAGES PHYSICIANS SHOULD KNOW
An 86-year-old man was hospitalized for repeated episodes of septic shock due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pneumonia; he ultimately died of pseudomonal sepsis and pneumonia. In 1948, the patient had pulmonary tuberculosis and underwent extrapleural pneumonolysis (plombage) with polymethyl methacrylate (acrylic or Lucite) balls. Explore this classic Image in Clinical Medicine and many more on the Images Physicians Should Know page on our 200th anniversary site. | |
