The path to Nuremberg in the pages of JAMA, 1933-1939

Article Abstract:

Many accounts of the re-organization of German medicine under the Nazi regime were published in JAMA. Between 1933 and 1939, the editors of JAMA published many reports and letters documenting these changes. Most of the correspondence was published anonymously. It detailed the persecution of Jewish physicians, the emphasis on racial eugenics and sterilization and the abolishment of medical societies. These societies were replaced by a state organization to which all Aryan physicians should belong. Eugenics became part of medical school curricula and physicians were required to take these courses. Almost half of German physicians belonged to the Nazi Party.

'Of a bicycle built for two.' (physician reactions to bicycles and bicycle usage in the U.S. and Europe)(JAMA 100 Years Ago...In Perspective)

Article Abstract:

Physicians now focus on preventing bicycle-related injuries, but in the 1890s, they were concerned about the lack of exercise bicyclists got above the hips and the effects of riding on women. Near the turn of the century, doctors began to recognize the increased metabolism and breathing capacity that came with bike riding as a sign of good health. In Europe, people routinely ride their bicycles to work, while in the United States, bicycle riding is part of the total body workout. Europeans want to make roads safe for bicyclists, while Americans are occupied with making protective gear.
