One technique that Freud and colleague Breuer became known for is "catharsis",
which refers to the process of "tracing [hysterical symptoms back to their] first
appearance and re-experiencing the associated thoughts and feelings" that were
experienced the first time. Through catharsis, many clients were able to stop the
symptoms from occurring ever again, essentially curing the "hysteria". This
process was given a different name by "Anna O.", the first patient who Breuer
tried it with. What did she call it?

In one word, what scientific/medical first is attributed to Ivanovsky? The discovery
of:
viruses
In 3-4 sentences, tell the story of how Ivanovsky figured out this innovation.
Ivanovsky was analyzing stunted, discolored tobacco plants that he recognized
were infected by tobacco mosaic disease. He set out to isolate the microbe that
he assumed was causing the disease, but when juice from the infected leaves was
put into a filter for bacteria, the agent that spread the disease slipped through the
filter which meant the microbe had to be something he couldn't see. After
reading Beijerink's discoveries that ruled out bacterial spores, toxins, or particles,
Ivanovsky believed that the most likely explanation for these filterable viruses was
that "the contagium is contained in the sap in the form of solid particles."
Describe some underlying personal motivations for Sigmund Freud that you read?
, 2
- His mother adored him and gave him the sense that "he was born to achieve
something great" which gave him the confidence to succeed later in life.
- His father, on the other hand, said the he would "never amount to anything" and
Freud still had dreams decades later of proving his father wrong by speaking his
accomplishments.
How does the work of Freud and Weyer connect? Is there a difference in cultural
response between these two time periods?
Both Freud and Weyer's work was focused on human's mental state and brain
function. Specifically, they both focused on psychiatric problems, such as hysteria,
to explain the very real symptoms of mental illness. In Weyer's time, people and
women specifically were seen as crazy and tortured for their mental condition. In
Freud's time though, these problems were legitimized and became proper
subjects in medical study.
In 3-4 sentences, give your impression of Ivanovsky as a scientist and as a person.
Address a different impression or character trait of Ivanovsky per sentence (no
repetition of information between sentences.
Ivanovsky seemed like he was methodical in the steps of his experiment:
recognizing the tobacco disease, pumping the juice through the filter, and used
his findings to make assumptions based on what was known in the world of
medicine. He also seemed territorial of his findings: he wrote to claim priority for
the discovery that the agent could pass through the filter and criticized
Beijerinck's agar experiment. He was also open and imaginative to this new
disease-causing agent: it was too small to see with the naked eye and not a
known bacteria or toxin that caused the disease.
In 3-4 sentences, describe Fleming's "firsts"--his advances and discoveries.
His first discovery was that by surgically removing as much dead tissue as possible
and flushing the wounds of soldiers with sterile saline solution, infection was
greatly minimized and the production of white blood cells was stimulated. His
second discovery was that droplets of nasal mucus were destroying a yellowish
bacterial colony in some contaminated culture plates and identified the substance
killing the bacteria as a protein called lysozyme. His other discovery was of the
powerful broad-spectrum antibacterial substance penicillin, which he came across
, 3
in his lab when he noticed on a petri dish that the staph colonies close to mold
had dissolved. He discovered the mold was secreting something that killed many
of the disease-causing bacteria even as it was diluted, now known as penicillin.
In a 3-4 sentences, describe the cultural and historical context of Fleming's life
and work.
When World War I broke out, Fleming went to France to treat wounded soldiers
where he discovered antisepsis methods were not working for sever wounds of
the soldiers. Thousands of soldiers were dying of tetanus, blood poisoning, and
gangrene. Flemings approach to surgically remove dead tissue and flush the
wound with saline was resisted within the army. His discovery of lysozyme and
penicillin were both ignored and dismissed by his colleagues.
In 3-4 sentences, talk about your impressions of Fleming as a scientist and a
person
My impressions were that Fleming was a quiet and modest yet driven and brilliant
man who was confident in his remarkable discoveries. He seemed as though he
had conflicting personalities as a scientist and as a person. As a scientist, he was
said to be a leader, always at the top of his class, observant, and experimental. As
a person, he was said to be a sports lover, as well as modest, shy, and inscrutable.
T or F: Margaret Sanger coined the term "birth control"
true - She first used the term in the June 1914 issue of a newspaper she founded:
called "The Woman Rebel".
T or F: Magaret Sanger created the birth control pill (The Pill).
false - Sanger was a leading advocate for birth control. Katherine Dexter
McCormick provided the financial backing. Sanger recruited Gregory Pincus and
John Rock, experimental scientists, to developed the product.
T or F: Sanger, who was a practicing nurse, was jailed for distributing information
about birth control to her clients.
true - Sanger was sentenced to 30 days in jail for providing information about
birth control because it was illegal in her time.
The first surgeon to transplant a human heart successfully was:
