Chapter 04: A Year Away; Reorganization of the Basic Sciences; a Return to a Faculty Position
No full textIn this chapter, Dr. Bowen talks about research and the working environment at MD Anderson. “The feeling of walking into M. D. Anderson in those days is hard to describe,” he said, “but it was a sense of the becoming a part of something that made you much bigger than you could ever be as an individual. And it is not just me. Everybody I knew had that sense.” He also discusses why he “never really wanted to spend my career anywhere but at M. D. Anderson.”https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/1676/thumbnail.jp
Chapter 06 : Surgical Oncology at MD Anderson, Part I: Changing Surgical Tradition
No full textDr. Balch begins this chapter by explaining how his research on melanoma raised his visibility and brought him to the attention of other institutions. Eventually he received a call from Bob Hickey at MD Anderson, and Dr. Balch explains that he developed a vision and plan for the evolution of surgical oncology. He describes the situation in surgery at that time (mid-eighties): excellent clinical surgery, but no academic programs, no research, no clinical trials, and a traditionalist approach that created a gap between the MD Anderson way of surgery and advances being adopted at other institutions. Dr. Balch explains that he presented a plan for super-specialization (to also guide recruiting), for database development, management, and biostatistics to support clinical trials, for multi-disciplinary care, and active competition for grant dollars. He also observes that he and his plan were not well-received in the Department of Surgery, explaining why. He give examples of the traditionalist approach in the department and the generalist focus. Next, Dr. Balch outlines his first steps in implementing his vision, first reorganizing the Department of Surgery as the Department of Surgical Oncology and tracking patient outcomes to set in place a system where outcomes should be the same regardless of who did the surgery. He talks about individuals he recruited.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/1465/thumbnail.jp
Chapter 03: Portraits of MD Anderson Surgeons in the Seventies-Eighties: Part I
No full textIn this chapter, Dr. Balch asks Dr. Copeland to talk about surgeons who were clinically excellent, but generally unrecognized because they did not publish. Dr. Copeland notes that Dr. Edgar White was Chair of the Department of Surgery and not operating when he arrived in 1971 as a fellow. He lists the faculty members at that time, noting that all the surgeons operated three days a week, rotating among the oncologic services. Next, Dr. Copeland notes that the idea of doing limb salvage surgery originated at MD Anderson. He describes an early procedure developed by Martin and Herman Suit to use post surgery radiation to save limbs. By 1986, limb salvage was a regular procedure, based on an NIH study that documented positive outcomes. Next, Dr. Copeland explains that he worked with Renilda Hilkemeyer, RN [oral history interview], head of the Division of Nursing, on his work on hyperalimentation. He then gives his impressions of Dr. Richard Martin.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/surgeryhist_interviewchapters/1030/thumbnail.jp

USNM 356656 (1 specimen; 114 mm SL), Scotia Sea, W. of South Orkney Islands, 60°45.5'S, 48°13.5'W, 2511-2542 m, ISLAS ORCADAS coll. UMO 116, 10 ft beam trawl, 18 Feb. 1976, H. H. DeWitt.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Oidiphorus mcallisteri is distinguished from its only congener, O. brevis, by the following combination of characters: pelvic fins present; preoperculomandibular pores 7; suborbital pores 5; pectoral fin rays 14-17; precaudal vertebrae 18; dorsal fin origin associated with vertebrae 3-4.</p> <p>Description. Vertebrae 18 + 51 = 69; D 64; A 52; P 16; C 7; pelvics 2; branchiostegal rays 6; gill rakers 1 + 7; vomerine teeth 11; palatine teeth 9/9; pseudobranch and pyloric caeca absent; preoperculomandibular pores 7; suborbital pores 5 + 0; postorbital pores 2; supraorbital (nasal) pores 2; occipital and interorbital pores absent. Following proportions as percent SL: head length 20.8; head width 12.5; head depth 11.5; predorsal length 21.1; preanal length 41.2; pectoral base depth 6.8; pectoral-fin length 12.5; body depth 9.3; gill slit length 9.2. Following proportions as percent HL: head width 60.3; head depth 42.2; upper jaw length 51.1; snout length 23.2; eye diameter 21.9; gill slit length 44.3; pectoralfin length 60.3; pelvic-fin length 19.8; caudal-fin length 33.8; interorbital width 15.6; interpupillary width 30.8. Pectoral base/length ratio: 53.9%.</p> <p>Dorsal edge of gill cover forming horn-like projection when pulled forward owing to subopercular ramus projecting well above opercle, characteristic of Oidiphorus. Single, low pyramidal papilla between each mandibular and suborbital pore, none on cheeks or top of head. First gill arch with single, miniscule raker on upper limb, unlike types. Lateral line mediolateral, difficult to trace in this faded specimen (Anderson, 1988, mistakenly stated lateral line to be absent).</p> <p>Remarks. This is the third known specimen of O. mcallisteri and is slightly larger than the two types (Anderson, 1988), but agrees well with them in all respects. It is a ripe female and had 33 ova 1.5-2.2 mm in diameter, 23 of them 2.0 mm or larger.</p>Published as part of <i>M. Eric Anderson, 2006, Studies on the Zoarcidae of the southern hemisphere. X.

Dieidolycus adocetus Anderson 1994, n.sp.
No full text<i>Dieidolycus adocetus</i> n.sp. <p>Figs 1, 2</p> <p>Type material. HOLOTYPE, AMS 1.32236-001, 88 mm (immature female), RV <i>Franklin,</i> Bismarck Sea, 3°41.5'S 151°52.2'E, 1957 m, 24 Sept.-14 Oct. 1991. PARATYPE, AMS 1.32236-002, 73(+) mm (immature male), captured with holotype.</p> <p>Diagnosis. A species of <i>Dieidolycus</i> as defined by Anderson (1988) with P 13; first dorsal-fin pterygiophore associated with vertebrae 5-6.</p> <p>Description. The 2 specimens are damaged juveniles, with the skin torn away and, in the paratype, the tail tip missing and gill slits ripped. Head pore patterns cannot be determined. Counts and measurements are those of the holotype, paratype in parentheses.</p> <p>Vertebrae 23 + 56 = 79 (23 + 40+); D 72; A 55; C 8; P 13 (13); pelvics 2 (2), gill rakers 2 + 12 (2 + 10); pyloric caeca 2 (2); branchiostegal rays 6 (6); vomerine teeth 7 (4); palatine teeth 3-4 (3-4); pseudobranch absent. Following measurements in percent SL: predorsal length 26.1; preanal length 47.3; prepelvic length 16.7; body depth 8.0; pectoral length 12.6; pectoral base height 4.7; head length 22.5; head width 8.9, head depth 9.1; gill slit length <i>404.</i> Following measurements in percent HL: head width <i>3904 (37.6);</i> head depth <i>4004</i> (37.6); pectoral length 56.1 (60.2); pelvic length 19.2 (17.7); upper jaw length 37.9 (34.5); snout length 15.7 (13.8); eye diameter 11.1 (10.5); orbit diameter 27.8 (27.6); gill slit length 19.7; interorbital width 7.6 (8.3); interpupillary width 19.2 <i>(2004).</i></p> <p>Head triangular, dorsal profile gently inclined anteriorly; nape flattened. Head large and robust, snout short and broad. Eye small, rounded, orbit large, ovoid. Six suborbital bones in L-shaped pattern around eye (Fig. 2). Single pair of short nostrils at snout tip, not reaching upper jaw. Pectoral fin origin just below body midline, insertion on abdomen. Gill slit extending ventrally to midpectoral height, slit vertical above that, no siphonal fold evident. Body short, ovoid in cross section.</p> <p>Mouth moderately large, terminal. Upper jaw extending posteriorly to vertical through middle of eye. Teeth in palate sharp, conical. Vomerine teeth in small patch in holotype. Palatine teeth in single series, full complement not present in these juveniles. Outer teeth of both jaws larger than teeth of palate, in single series except just at symphysis where 3-6 teeth form second row (holotype).</p> <p>Unpaired fins low, caudal fin of holotype worn (net damage), with 1 epural, 4 upper hypural and 3 lower hypural rays. First dorsal-fin pterygiophore associated with vertebra 5 (holotype) or 6 (paratype); last dorsal ray associated with third preural vertebra. No free dorsal-fin pterygiophores. First and second anal-fin pterygiophores set anterior to haemal spine of first caudal vertebra; last anal ray associated with second preural vertebra (holotype). Pectoral fin large, wedgeshaped (middle rays longest), lowermost rays not appreciably thickened in these juveniles. Pelvic fins relatively long for a rudimentary feature, greater than eye diameter, of 2 rays each; no spine rudiment. All fin elements segmented soft rays except first flexible spine of dorsal.</p> <p>Gill rakers on upper limb (epibranchial) small, blunt; upper rakers on lower limb (ceratobranchial) with tips squared off, lower rakers pointed, triangular. Branchiostegal rays 6, 4 articulating with ceratohyal and 2 with epihyal. Oral valve weak, not reaching anterior edge of vomer and nearly completely coalesced anterolaterally. Pseudobranch absent. Pyloric caeca 2 small, vestigial nubs.</p> <p>Accurate colour description not possible because of the damage to these specimens. Still, small patches of black skin adhere to the head, throat, abdomen and unpaired fins (more extensive in paratype) that indicates the species is probably uniformly dark in life, like its congener. Lining of orobranchial chamber black.</p> <p>Comparisons. Because of the damage to the new specimens, the thought that they might represent a new species of the monotypic <i>Taranetzella</i> Andriashev, 1952 was at first considered. <i>Taranetzella</i> differs from <i>Dieidolycus</i> in possessing scales, nine preoperculomandibular pores, and low papillae between the mandibular and suborbital pores. None of these characters could be verified in the new specimens. However, they also differ from <i>Taranetzella</i> in their significantly different vertebral counts (19-20 + 70-78 in <i>Taranetzella),</i> six suborbital bones (8 in <i>Taranetzella),</i> two pelvic rays (3 in <i>Taranetzella)</i> and lack of a pseudobranch. Other important characters the new species shares with its congener, <i>D. leptodermatus</i> Anderson, 1988, are a greatly reduced oral valve, small eyes and restricted gill slit (the latter also the condition in <i>Taranetzella).</i></p> <p>Etymology. From the Greek <i>adoketos</i> (unexpected, surprising) alluding to the species' capture in the central Indo-west Pacific region.</p> <p>Remarks. The finding of specimens of Zoarcidae under tropical seas is of great interest since these fishes are primarily found III the cold waters of high latitudes (Anderson, 1984). However "tropical" an influence the waters of lower latitudes has on the distribution of shore fishes, temperatures at the great depths that tropical zoarcids encounter are within the realm of temperatures found in other areas they inhabit. Thus, tropical slope areas are not well demarcated zoogeographic barriers to this family, and many species are now known to range through both temperate and tropical regions (4 species each of <i>Lycodapus</i> Gilbert, 1890 and <i>Melanostigma</i> Giinther, 1881 and three species of <i>Pachycara</i> Zugmayer, 1911 [Anderson, 1989a, 1989b, 1990]). Vaillant (1888) reported the first zoarcids <i>(Pachycara crassiceps</i> [Roule, 1916]; see Anderson, 1989a) from tropical slope waters from the 1883 eastern Atlantic cruise of the <i>Talisman,</i> recording a temperature of 4.5°C at their maximum capture depth of 1493 m. Garman (1899) reported the second occurrence of zoarcids from tropical seas, these from the 1891 <i>Albatross</i> cruise in the eastern Pacific. Twelve nominal species were found between 838 and 3281 m at temperatures between 5.5 and 2.1°C, respectively.</p> <p>The Indo-west and South Pacific are newly discovered distributional areas for the Zoarcidae. Andriashev & Fedorov (1986) reported the first two species in the region from specimens trawled from the New Zealand Plateau. Anderson (1989a) described the first benthic Indo-west Pacific zoarcid, <i>Pachycara shcherbachevi,</i> from 2600 m in the Bay of Bengal. Anderson (1990) reported on additional specimens from the south-western Pacific, three species of which (genus <i>Melanostigma)</i> are mesopelagic. <i>Dieidolycus leptodermatus</i> from the Antarctic, one specimen of which was taken directly south of New Zealand, was not discussed by Anderson (1990), as it was thought to be an Antarctic abyssal endemic.</p> <p>Although the ichthyofauna of the basins of the tropical western Pacific is poorly known, future trawling may reveal a presently unknown zoarcid fauna, although it may not be very diverse. This seems the most likely hypothesis for this area, since the relationships of the currently known forms <i>(Dieidolycus, Melanostigma</i> and <i>Pachycara)</i> are with widespread congeners of the southern hemisphere and not with lineages of the adjacent cold-temperate north-western Pacific. This latter area is dominated by different genera of Lycodinae <i>(Bothrocara, Lycenchelys, Lycodes,</i> etc) and Gymnelinae that are limited in their southerly distribution to the temperate waters of the Japanese archipelago (Anderson, 1984). Still, as yet unknown species of the broadly distributed <i>Lycenchelys</i> may be found in abyssal waters of the western tropical Pacific in future.</p> <p>Comparative <b>material.</b> <i>Taranetzella lyoderma</i> Andriashev, 1952: CAS 53876, sex unknown, 98 mm SL, 45°09.3'N 125°38.3'W, 2669 m, off Oregon, USA; OSUO 2072, immature female, 158 mm SL, 44°34.8'N 125°33.6'W, 2816 m, off Oregon.</p> <p> <i>Dieidolycus leptodermatus</i> Anderson, 1988: see Anderson, 1988: 72.</p>Published as part of <i>Anderson, M.
