Each loosely deals with the huge topic of inflammation. / "The 20th century was marked by rapid advancements in understanding the nature and underlying mechanisms of the microvascular responses to inflammation. The development of new in vivo models of inflammation, methods to capture and store images of the microcirculation, and the application of mathematical and engineering approaches to quantify variables such as leukocyte adhesion, vasomotor function, and vascular permeability allowed the field to move forward at a greatly accelerated pace. This period also brought new chemical methods that enabled (truncated) the discovery of different inflammatory mediators and coagulation factors." – Inflammation and the Microcirculation.

"When Bloom began to work with Maximow, the latter was the leading proponent of the Unitarian theory of the origin of blood cells, which held that all types of blood cells derive from a common stem cell that he identified as the lymphocyte. The circulating small lymphocyte of the blood was considered to be a hemopoietic stem cell (hemocytoblast) in a resting condition. Under certain conditions after migration into the tissues, the small lymphocyte was believed to hypertrophy to form a large lymphocyte or hematocytoblast, which, in turn, was capable of giving rise to the precursors of erythrocytes, granular leukocytes, and megakaryocytes. At that time American hematology was dominated by dualistic or polyphyletic theories of hemopoiesis, which insisted that there is no common totipotential "stem cell" but that the erythrocytes and leukocytes came from distinct precursor or stem cells and that the lymphocyte was a fully differentiated cell with no potentiality for further development except into plasma cells." – Singer. / See: National Academy of Sciences, Biographical Memoir, 1993.

INSCRIBED "With my compliments." Very good. Abstract: "The observations here described arose out of research (now in the press) made by Florey and myself for the Birth Control Investigation Committee. Wishing to ascertain whether aspiration was exerted by the uterus during coitus, we injected animals per vaginam with suspensions of carmine or graphite immediately before copulation. When examining sections of the vaginae later, I was struck by the apparent inclusion of particles of the injection mass in the vaginal epithelial cells. Subsequent study has demonstrated that the epithelium of the upper segment of the rabbit's vagina is definitely phagocytic, as the experimental evidence detailed below will show. U. Material and methods. The present study is largely based upon a series of 40 rabbits. Two methods of experimental approach were used." / Carleton was Demonstrator in Histology, University of Oxford. / [XXVIII]. CUNNINGHAM, R.S. [Robert Sydney] (c.1891-1963) ; Edna H. TOMPKINS (1892-).

He graduated from Davidson College with B.S. and M.A. degrees in 1911, at the age of twenty. He continued his studies in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins, receiving the M.D. degree in 1915. After graduation R.S. Cunningham became an instructor in the Anatomy Department at Johns Hopkins. He remained at Johns Hopkins for the next ten years. In 1925 he became head of the Department of Anatomy (1925-1937) at the newly reorganized Vanderbilt University Medical School. He left Vanderbilt in 1937 to become Dean of the Albany Medical School.

In 1944 she left Vanderbilt for the Cancer Research Institute at the New England Deaconess Hospital and stayed there for the remainder of her career. Her area of expertise and study was hematology. While at Vanderbilt, she played a pivotal role in the observation of the microorganism H.
