In Tribute to a Friend Nicholas J. Thompson, M.D.

V.tt. Thomp.6on.

Nick Thompson, a fine physician, teacher, family man, ana a very good friend, died on Jan. 22 fol­lowing a heart attack he suffered on New Year's day.

Founding Chairman of the School's Department of Obstetrics and Gyne­cology, Dr. Thompson touched and influenced the lives of students and colleagues alike. Dr. William Sawyer, Dean, praised Dr. Thompson and his accomplishments: "Dr. Thompson laid the foundation for the department, then built it and the affiliated residency program into quality medical education ex­periences. I have been impressed by his leadership in support of the School and his perpetuation of med­ical excellence. Our students could find no finer model to emu­late than Dr. Nick Thompson."

Dr. Thompson joined the faculty in 1975 after more than 25 years of private practice in the Dayton area.

Highly involved with finding ways of controlling cancer, Dr. Thompson was Director of the Gynecologic Tu­mor Service and acted as Coordina­tor of the School's Cancer Educa­tion Off ice.

The office establishes community education seminars on cancer­related topics and provides cancer guides to treatment resources for hospitals, physicians, and con-

2

cerned citizens. His first wife, Janet, died from the disease in 1979. Dr. Thompson founded a memorial fund to honor her memory and provide scholarship assistance to deserving students.

Active in the area hospitals, Dr. Thompson had been Director of Medi­cal Education at Miami Valley Hos­pital since 1964. Mr. L.R. Jordan, that institution's President and Chief Executive Officer, called him "a guiding force" behind the de­velopment of the hospital's high risk pregnancy center.

"In all ways, Dr. Thompson embodied the highest and best qualities of medical practice and medical educa­tion," said John Beljan, Wright State School of Medicine Founding

_D_egJi and ProyQSt. "He was instru­mental in helping to build the School. Students and residents were inspired by his professional attitude, respect, and cooperation. He will be sadly missed."

A native of Norwalk, Ohio, Dr. Thompson received a B.A. degree from the University of Michigan and an M.D. degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.

In his medical career, he acted as Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology for three of Dayton's health care institutions: Miami Valley Hospi­tal, 1967-1973; Good Samaritan Hos­pital, 1956-1957; and Kettering Memorial Hospital, 1964-1965.

He was a consultant in Obstetrics and Gynecology to the medical staff at Dayton's Veterans Administration Center, Kettering Medical Center's Paramedical Training in OB/GYN, and the USAF Medical Center at Wright­Patterson.

Always willing to do at least his share to organize and develop health care programs, he served as a member of five hospital commit­tees and as a member or chairman of 23 School of Medicine committees.

A fine man and a credit to the School, Dr. Thompson's passing leaves a void in the lives of all who knew him.

Librarian Assumes National Post

Ra.y Pa.lme.'1.

Raymond A. Palmer, M.S.L.s., Found­ing Librarian for Wright State Uni­versity's Health Sciences Library left this month to take up his new position as Executive Director of the Medical Library Association, based in Chicago.

Mr. Palmer came to Wright State from Harvard University in 1974 to develop a library for the School of Medicine. During his seven-year tenure, Mr. Palmer expanded the library's collection to include Fels Research Institute's library in Yellow Springs and the volumes at Cox Heart Institute. He played an active part in the development of the cooperative acquisition pro­gram with libraries in the School's affiliated hospitals and institu­tions.

Supported initially by a gift from Thelma Fordham Pruett, the library began under Mr. Palmer's direction in the basement of the Montgomery County Public Library. It was moved to the University campus in 1977 and is currently housed in the Medical Sciences Building.

Cheryl Rueby, M.S.L.S., has been named Acting Librarian.

Dr. Noguchi Joins Hipple Research Lab

Vil. . Koji Noguehi

Koji Noguchi, M.D., has joined the Wright State University Bob Hipple Laboratory for Cancer Research as a research fellow. Dr. Noguchi received his medical degree in 1973 from Kyoto University, Kyoto, Ja­pan. He was a clinical fellow in Kyoto's Department of Internal Medicine before completing a re­search fellowship in Hematology at Hyogo College of Medicine. He was most recently Assistant Professor, Internal Medicine, at Hyogo College of Medicine.

Community Medicine Hears Stress Specialist Robert Rose, M.D., Professor and Chairman, Psychiatry, the Univer­sity of Texas Medical Branch, Gal­veston, spoke to Community Medicine faculty and residents on Nov. 25.

Sponsored by the department, Dr. Rose described personal relation­ships, work environment, and organizational aspects as factors affecting mental and physical health. He followed his presenta­tion with a discussion of disease prevention and ways of avoiding excessive occupational stress.

Conan Doyle Works on Display Works of Arthur Conan Doyle, M.D., writer and Sherlock Holmes creator, are on display in the Health Sciences Library until April 30.

Coordinated by the Library's Exhibit Committee, the display includes artifacts on loan from the Mayo Clinic and books and photo­graphs from Dr. Al Rodin's exten­sive collection. Dr. Rodin, Chair­man and Professor, Postgraduate Medicine and Continuing Education, is a recognized Conan Doyle specialist.

Expert Looks at Ethnic Aging Arthur Bigot, Ph.D., WSU Center on Aging Research, Education, and Service (WSU CARES), presented a workshop on "Critical Issues in Ethnic Aging" as a prelude to a similar presentation at the Western Gerontological Association's 28th Annual Meeting in San Diego. As Director of the University's Gerontology Center, Dr. Bigot and his staff focus on the study of aging, fostering new approaches to aging, and creating research, edu­cation and service opportunities in gerontology and geriatrics.

Commur:-ity to Have f;ye Bank Beginning March 1, 1982, the Dayton area will have the first fully ac­tive eye bank in the State of Ohio, thanks to members of the Dayton Lions Club.

To be known as the Lions Eye Bank of West Central Ohio, and housed in Wright State's Frederick A. White Center for Ambulatory Care, the Bank will provide replacement tissue for transplant to patients within 24 hours of donation. Presently, patients suffering from limited vision due to injuries, scarring, infection, or corneal degeneration, must wait up to nine months for tissue for corrective surgery.

Now because of the efforts of Lion's Club member Homer Dilahunt and others like him, the Bank will soon have the technicians, proces­sing media, instrumentation, ster­ilizing equipment, and refrigeration units in place to carry out this vital service.

Dependent on area hospitals and local donors for tissues, the Bank has the support of local hospitals and practicing physicians who will act as liaison between the Bank and donors' families to ensure imme­d'iate decision-making and timely tissue retrieval.

"When a patient dies in an area hospital, the attending physician or member of the nursing staff

4

will ask the family's permission to donate the tissues," explained Mike Besson, M.D., Medical Director of the new Eye Bank and Assistant Professor in the School of Medi­cine's Department of Ophthalmology. "This vital link will guarantee that patients waiting for this surgery will have the healthy tissues to renew their vision. The patient is alerted and the tissues may be transplated within 24 hours."

Ready for donors around the clock, the Eye Bank will provide 24-hour service with technicians on call to both donors and recipients. The non-profit center will be funded primarily by contributions from the Lions Club and the community.

Long recognized for their contri­butions to the prevention of blind­ness, the Lions Clubs provide lead dogs for the blind and glaucoma screening, and make substantial contributions to eye banks and other blindness prevention facilities.

As for the Eye Bank's management, Dr. Besson will act as Medical Director but policies will be determined by a selected board of trustees. Named to the Board at its February organization meeting were Lions members Simmie Alley (treasurer), Homer Dilahunt (sec­retary), and Tom Flinn (chairman);

VA Welcomes Students Jan. 4th marked the first day in the new Dayton Veterans Admini­stration Basic Sciences building for members of the Year Two patho­logy class, the first course scheduled in the new facility.

The two-story addition, designed to accommodate School of Medicine students and faculty, complements the education wing and provides a 146-seat amphitheater, laborator­ies, animal quarters, surgical suites, classrooms, offices and a conference room.

area ophthalmologists Drs. John Bullock, Edward Thomas, and Charles Schrimpf; School of Medicine Dean William Sawyer, and Dr. Bert Larson, Chairman and Professor, Department of Ophthalmology (vice­chairman).

"We are especially pleased to have all four area transplant physicians on our board--Drs. Bullock, Schrimpf, Thomas, and me," Dr. Besson said. Although the Univer­sity provides space in its Frederick A. White Center for Ambulatory Care, it will be these community-involved Board members who will provide di­rection for the Eye Bank.

Staffing for the new Eye Bank will not create many job opportunities, according to Dr. Besson. "It will, however, provide some fine training for the few special people interes­ted in becoming technicians." Peo­ple interested in becoming techni­cians should have degrees in chem­istry or biology and "might be waiting acceptance" in other health care professions, according to Dr. Besson.

March 1 will be here soon. Dr. Besson and his staff await the community's response to this new service. Forms for donors are available from physicians, hospi­tals, and the Lions Eye Bank. For more information, call the Lions Eye Bank--day or night--at (513) 879-4850.

"Medline" Comes of Age in Health Sciences Library

Stony and photo/.) - J-<Lt Roon

Samuel E. Pitner, M.D., Chairman and Professor of Neurology at Wright State University School of Medicine, needed references 6n

chronic relapsing polyneuropathy. He had the journals containing this information in his extensive li­brary, but he needed immediate access to specific articles in those volumes to save hours of manual searching and aid him with a patient's treatment.

Ronald J. Markert, Ph.D., Head of Evaluation Consultation Services and Associate Professor, Post­graduate Medicine and Continuing Education, is preparing an evalua­tion report on the stability and change of the WSU students' medical specialty choices. Later, the re­port is to be expanded into a study comparing their choices with those of medical students nationwide. Dr. Markert had already done most of his research manually, but he

wanted to make sure he hadn't over­looked any important data.

Dr. Pitner and Dr. Markert are just two of the many clients who turn to the Health Sciences Library's com­puterized database system for information retrieval in highly specialized fields of interest.

Now ten years old, the National Li­brary of Medicine first provided online access to the MEDLINE system in Oct. 1971. Wright State's Health Sciences Library initiated its computer search program in the fall of 1976. In addition to the databases offered by the National Library of Medicine, the Health Sciences Library has access to many other databases through Biblio­graphic Retrieval Services (BRS), and the Lockheed Dialog System. The databases store current inf or-

mation on an unlimited number of topics, including chemistry, art, grants, and even the stock market.

Faculty requests make up approxi­mately one-third of the searching load, student requests one-third,

and the library itself uses the re­maining portion. The process begins with a client's specific request on a well-defined subject. If the request is too general, the client is asked to search manually through printed indexes or ab­stracts to narrow the topic and to pinpoint specific subject headings. One of the library's three search­ers will then translate the client's request into computer lan­guage, and the computer produces a tailor-made subject bibliography of current journal literature. Re­sults of the search may be printed out immediately by the terminal in the Health Sciences Library, or they may be printed and mailed from the out-of-state computer to the Health Sciences Library.

Most searches are completed within two to three days of the initial request. However, requests in­volving patient care have priority and are processed immediately.

Costs are kept low through purchase of services by the Dayton Area Ex­panded MEDLINE Consortium, composed of area hospital and academic medical libraries. The Consortium, coordinated by the Health Sciences Library, receives lower group rates for computer time, and for training of the personnel who will provide those services. The current charge to clients is $2.00 to $4.00 per

database searched for students and $4.00 to $8.00 per database searched for faculty.

Alvin E. Rodin, M.D., Professor and Chairman of Postgraduate Medicine

and Continuing Education and Pro­fessor of Pathology, is enthusi­astic about the Library's. service. "I could not effectively carry out my activities as a consultant in perinatal disease or my studies in the history of medicine without the kinds of services offered by our Health Sciences Library."

Report Looks at Students' Change of Heart

"Stability and Change of Medical Specialty Choice, Wright State Uni­versity School of Medicine Class of 1981," the fourth in a series of program evaluation studies, examines reasons that the medical students change specialty choices between Year One and Year Four.

Emphasizing the School's goal to educate primary care physicians, the report contains charts, graphs, and detailed information about this first class's specialty selections.

Members polled during their first year in medical school listed:

1. Specialty preference at that time

2. Anticipated eventual practice specialty, and

3. Reasons chosen from a list that most affected the specialty choice.

Polled at graduation, students gave some of the following reasons for changing specialties:

1. Positive experience in Year Three or Year Four selective.

2. Increased awareness of special­ties.

3. Positive influence of specific SOM faculty.

Only one student stated "better financial opportunities" as a reason to change.

Compiled by Ron Markert, Ph.D., Department of Postgraduate Medi­cine and Continuing Education, and Paul Carlson, Ph.D., Student Affairs/Admissions, the study was partially funded by the Miami Valley Area Health Education Center.

Copies of the report are available from the department or by calling 429-3200, Ext. 377.
