Anesthesiology was established as a separate department in the Duke University Medical Center, with responsibility for education and teaching in anesthesia at the undergraduate medical level, and the development of a program of research. The residency in anesthesia was re- established and the training and education of Nurse Anesthetists was strengthened. During the subsequent six and a half years, the faculty has expanded significantly and the department has engaged in an active role in teaching within the Medical Center. The bulk of its courses are lim- ited to the two elective years. but there is active participation in teaching in Pharmacology and in Surgery. Within the department there have been established the following divisions: Obstetric anesthesiology and Perinatology. cardio-vascular thoracic anesthesia. neurosurgical anesthesia. ophthalmic anesthesia, and instrumentation and measurement. ln addition. the department has devoted considerable energy in the area of hyper- baria and, under the leadership of Dr. Peter B. Bennett, there has been a significant expansion of the department's activities in the area of the :J w t I ll 1 I in li li mechanisms of narcosis and in diving medic in particular. There has been considerable effort given to 1 development of patient monitoring. with t objective of providing safer anesthetic practi research involving the physiology of the neu muscular Junction. environmental factors rel ing to anesthesia, and the problems involv respiratory exchange when complicated by l Members of the department are active ' i u a water. The Veterans Hospital which. in the p had been a major teaching source for anesthe has now been reactivated under the leadership Dr. Stanley W. Weitzner. and with the advent the new hospital the active participation of me bers of the department and its resident staff the intensive care of patients is looked forwa IO. Below: lst row: E.

get A m v' - t-'Q ' t expansion of the faculty involving several new areas of concentration in anatomical research. Electron microscopy is the prominent techni- que employed throughout the department. There are seven different electron microscopes in use. and scanning electron microscope facilities are available in other departments. Much equipment is related to both small angle and wide angle x- ray diffraction analysis. There is also equipment devoted to various kinds of image analysis utiliz- ing laser optical and computer resynthesis meth- ods. Facilities are also available for cell fraction- ation and the isolation of intracellular compo- nents and their hiochemical and biophysical characterization. The facilities of the Department of Anatomy and the scope of its interests are sufficiently broad to provide a challenge to anyone desiring gl i. advanced training in the areas it represents. .X it Top Right: Dr. Hylander prepares a gross anat- omy tape.
