Muir-Torre syndrome - Treatment with isotretinoin and interferon alpha-2a can prevent tumour development
No full textMuir-Torre syndrome is a genodermatosis in which multiple internal malignancies are associated with cutaneous sebaceous tumours and kerato-acanthomas. A 57-year-old man presented with multiple sebaceous tumours, kerato-acanthomas, verrucous carcinoma of the nose, renal cell and transitional cell carcinomas of the left kidney, adenoma of the colon and a positive family history of colon carcinoma. He was treated with interferon (IFN-alpha Pa) s.c. 3 x 10(6) U three times a week along with 50 mg isotretinoin daily as well as topical isotretinoin gel. During a follow-up of 29 months, only 1 sebaceous skin tumour developed and was removed, whereas more than 30 such skin tumours had been surgically removed during the last 3 years. No evidence of internal tumour development or recurrence was found. The combination of IFN with retinoids seems to be of promise to prevent tumour development in Muir-Torre syndrome.

Swagerty Director, John Muir Center In this, the sixth and final segment of John Muir\u27s World Tour, 1903-1904, we complete his journey from March 2 to May 27, 1904 from open waters in the Tasman Sea to San Francisco. Muir continues writing in his Collin\u27s Paragon Diary, 1904, purchased in Australia and reflecting the calendar for the Southern Hemisphere. This form of journal allowed the author to enter one page per day. If he needed more space, he had to poach empty lines from the previous day or the one that followed. With such tight restrictions and weary from his near- year long travels, Muir\u27s final leg is best described as one of economy of entries, often merely listing the temperature at daybreak and the condition of the skies, with very brief reflection on what has transpired that day. On occasion, there is no entry for a day or so, indicating little of consequence transpired. March 2, 1904: Muir is in rough seas between New Zealand and Australia, having engaged passage on the Zealandia on February 29; most of the passengers suffering from seasickness, ship both pitching and rocking, he notes the following day. Landing in Sydney on March 4, Muir secured a ticket for home via Hong Kong and the Philippines. He then eagerly returned to his favorite haunt, the Sydney Botanical Gardens, where he spent several days botanizing and collecting many specimens to take home to California, some of which he planted on the grounds of his Martinez home; others dried for study and for science. By March 11, Muir was on the road again by stage and by rail in the forests around Sydney, taking in all of the trees, some up to 100 feet high, which caught his attention. Araucaria and Eucalyptus forests, as well as Bunya, some 200 feet tall made for exciting walks in forest, home to enormous spiders and webs and stinging ants, he tells us. Back in Sydney on March 18, Muir labored to dry his plant specimens for the next ten days, nearly all exotic to him prior to this trip. At sea again aboard the Empire, Muir wrote on March 31, Glad to go homeward at last. Passing Brisbane and now in the tropics, Muir observed passing the first of many low coral islands on April 6, observing the atolls and reefs between the outer Great Barrier Reef and the inner fringing reefs as the Empire slowly made her way through these picturesque but dangerous shoals. Once in the Torres Strait between Australia and Papua New Guinea, Muir\u27s power of observation turned skyward once again, taking in the constellations of the southern skies, and especially the Southern Cross, which shone with beautiful green and blue light on April 9. Rounding the tip of Australia, the Empire docked at Port Darwin on April 11. Always the opportunist, Muir stepped ashore and quickly gathered plants in park and roadside as well as in the Darwin Botanic Garden for the next two days, bringing aboard a large collection of additional specimens. On to Indonesia and the port of Dili in East Timor, a very old Portuguese town dating back to 1520, and noted for its fine groves of Cocoa. Figs, bread fruit, and banian were added to his herbarium prior to (Continued on page 5) r page 1
NeWs & Mot The Old Tramp in New Show John Muir is Back - and Man! Is he Ticked Off! He enters the stage grumbling - mumbling incoherent strings between huffs and puffs - something about incorrigible politicians and unforgivable misdeeds. John Muir is back - and he\u27s more than simply disappointed. Renowned actor Lee Stetson performs this show in Yosemite Valley in his 2601 professional year with a spell-binding, one-man performance as California\u27s best known conservationist, John Muir. In a unique medley of his famous scripts, Stetson blends stories of Muir\u27s adventures in wild America- from Alaska to his beloved Sierra Nevada. Weaving hilarious tales from bear encounters to icy glacier-treks, Stetson spins a yarn like no other. He portrays Muir\u27s deep compassion for the tree- people and his tireless efforts to conserve wild places in America and throughout the world. His normal, animated and happy story-telling is intermittently interrupted by the expressive realization that Lord Man has failed to heed his precautionary words. In this new script, Stetson portrays a sometimes angry and frustrated Muir. His patience is tried and his nerves are tender. He has spent his life battling dams and deforestation. He laments the ruthless extinction of nature\u27s perfect assemblage of glorious species. He puzzles about tourism and hiking as gross distortions of his ideas on how to most purely experience nature\u27s most grand wonders. He rails against the politicians and those who would be swayed by money and power - those who would slay forests and passenger pigeons for the almighty dollar. The conservation movement lives on in this often hilarious and sometimes passionate plea to keep the spirit of John Muir alive. Nature\u27s Beloved Son: Rediscovering John Muir\u27s Botanical Legacy by Bonnie J. Gisel with images by Stephen J. Joseph Foreword by David Rains Wallace Heyday Books, November, 2008 Hardbound, ISBN: 978-1-59714-106-2, 45.00 286 pages (9 x 12), with over 150 images John Muir\u27s inordinate fondness for plants... As a young boy growing up in Wisconsin, John Muir faithfully recorded in his journal that the pasque-flower was a hopeful multitude of large, hairy, silky buds about as thick as one\u27s thumb, and that the lady\u27s slipper orchid in nearby meadows caught the eye of all the European settlers and made them gaze and wonder like children. Muir was blessed early on with a love and aptitude for botany, a field of study that helped him become one of the most influential environmentalists in the world. One realizes, in reading Nature\u27s Beloved Son, how much Muir\u27s successes as an adventurer, writer, and environmental advocate were driven by his belief in nature\u27s irresistible, divine beauty. Surprisingly, little has been written about John Muir the botanist. Environmental historian Bonnie J. Gisel takes us through Muir\u27s evolving relationship with the natural world, touching on his childhood in Scotland and Wisconsin, his sojourn in Canada, his thousand-mile walk from Louisville, Kentucky, to the Gulf of Natures -Belovei 1 Son■ . •■ :»j a -IV ■ 1 1 Mexico, his ecstatic travels in California\u27s Sierra Nevada, and his thrilling exploration of Alaska. Photographer Stephen J. Joseph\u27s breathtaking prints of Muir\u27s botanical specimens related correspondence are artfully presented in this book and provide the backdrop for the story of Muir\u27s great passion for the natural world. About the Author and Photographer: Bonnie J. Gisel is an environmental historian and the curator at the Sierra Club\u27s Le Conte Memorial Lodge in Yosemite National Park. She is the editor of Kindred and Related Spirits: The Letters of John Muir and Jeanne C. Carr (University of Utah Press, 2001) and Nature Journaling with John Muir (Poetic Matrix Press, 2006) and she has lectured extensively and published articles on John Muir as well as issues of environmental literacy. Stephen J. Joseph has been a photographer for more than forty years. His work has been exhibited at the Oakland Museum, the San Francisco Legion of Honor, the Ansel Adams Gallery, and elsewhere, and he has been the Centennial Photographer for the Muir Woods National Monument and an artist in residence for Yosemite\u27s LeConte Memorial Lodge.

The Unfinished Story of Annie L. Muir By Michael Wurtz Holt-Atherton Special Collections University of the Pacific Library John Muir\u27s sister Annie L. Muir was born on October 5, 1846. Annie and her twin sister Mary were the last of the Muir children to be born in Scotland, and were followed only by Joanna who was bom in 1851 in Wisconsin. Although one of the youngest, Annie was the first of the Muir siblings to die when she passed away in 1903 at the age of 56 in Portage, Wisconsin. She was also the only Muir child never to have married. From reading the correspondence in the John Muir Papers either to or from Annie it becomes evident that she was a prolific letter writer. It is clear, however, that some of her letters were never saved and added to the Papers. For example, she writes to John in the spring of 1862 or 1863, I hardly know how to answer your question, but I suppose our heads were made so that they would not ache when we are in the under side of the globe. If that is not the reason please tell me when you write next. The collection does not include the letter that contained John\u27s original question or the follow-up reason letter either. Annie would almost harangue her friends and family into writing her letters. After she had spent almost four years in Martinez with John, Louie, and the children in the mid-1880s, she writes from the train on her way back to Portage, Please let me find a letter awaiting me there for I long for news of you all and especially of the little girls of whom I find myself.. .thinking of very often. Less than two months after she left the Alhambra Valley, she writes punitively to Wanda and Baby Helen that she did not really think that two-year-old Helen would be writing to her, but expected that seven-year-old Wanda would have made an effort - spelling errors and all. Their mother sheepishly writes back that she is utterly ashamed that she had not written and that Wanda must have forgotten all her letters - about literally. Annie\u27s life is elusive at best. She was probably named for her mother, Ann Gilrye Muir, and may have been part of the motivation for John to name his first daughter Annie Wanda Muir. There is no indication of what the L of her middle name stood for and she is addressed as Annie, Ann, and Anna throughout the letters. In the biographies and writings of John Muir, there are specks of her life. In Linnie Marsh\u27s Son of the Wilderness: The Life of John Muir, Annie and her sister Mary are referred to mostly as the twins. The twins celebrated their third birthday while crossing the Atlantic Ocean on their way to America. The twins were launching forth as teachers. Marsh also reveals that Annie suffered from consumption, and that it had been the reason for her extended trip to Martinez from 1884 to 1888. Other writings about Muir bring up perhaps John\u27s most pointed letter to his twin sisters. In November of 1860 he wrote to them about when he was forced to meet them as newborns, I am sure I would have rather gone to school and got whipt on both hands, but I had to go and kiss them. O my! Kiss such soft, red looking things! But the sun rose sometimes and set sometimes, and things are changed. The relationship between John and Annie is hardly explored more than in that 1860 letter. Also in that letter he specifically addresses Annie and writes, you scolded [me] too, but you did not exhort so much, and I used to scold you more and exhort you more, but I don\u27t think I\u27ll scold you any more. John confides in Annie and her sisters in his letters home while he was living in Canada. He relates a story of when he returned from meeting one Sunday morning and witnessed a cat catch a bird in the house. He chased the cat all over until he caught it with the bird still in its mouth. He tried to save the bird by choking the cat, but I choked her and choked her to make her let it go until I choked her to death, though I did not mean to. He waited and hoped for the next of her nine lives, but to my grief I found that I had taken them all. And the bird did not survive either. When the others returned to the house that afternoon they said, Now John is always scolding us about killing spiders and flies but when we are away he chokes the cats. Annie never left home and lived principally with her mother until she died in 1896. Her father had left the family to pursue a religious group in the early 1870s and died in Kansas City in 1885. Annie was frequently not well. The first documentary evidence of her illness in her letters appeared in the early 1880s when she was preparing to visit the Muirs of the Alhambra Valley, but could not muster the strength to do so. When she did go, it appears that it was mostly for health reasons. In a February 1884, she describes a lung examination that she had. Lower lobe of the right was entirely consolidated, or hepatized [a sign of \u27 pneumonia] ... have coughed more, and the cough hurt me more than before, and I have been raising a little blood. After her visit to California, see stopped by to visit her physician brother Daniel. Wben I was in Lincoln [Nebraska], Dan examined my lungs and throat. He agrees with the San Francisco Physician in saying that my lungs are entirely well. But he seemed to be surprised at the condition of my throat -which he says is very bad indeed. He looked into the upper part of my throat and found the mucus membrane much thick and swollen from chronic inflammation. And the condition farther down is no better. In 1901, Annie shared the house for a while with Dr. West and his family. West, an osteopath ( Osteopathy is not well known here now as it will be in a few years - or perhaps - months. ) gave her free treatment that she thought helped. In October of 1902 she writes, My health is better this year than last. In fact, I scarcely consider myself an invalid now (although I still cough some every day). John Muir wrote to one of his cousins in January 1903, Our sister Anne, one of the twins, died at her home in Portage on the 15th of this month, of Apoplexy, after a week\u27s illness. Only Daniel was there. John continued, I think poor Anne often overtasked herself in church work, in which she was very zealous. These clues of Annie\u27s life hint at much more. There are mentions of her teaching and running a store with her mother. After her return from California in 1888, she was studying phonography (a type of shorthand) so she could be a reporter. It appears that Annie\u27s exploits in California are mostly undocumented. A researcher could attempt to fill in Annie\u27s story and her influence on John Muir by reading what others wrote about her - especially a deeper look into letters between John and his brother Daniel, presumably Annie\u27s doctor, would shed some light on those times. page 3

Civilization and fever and all the morbidness that has been hooted at me has not dimmed my glacial eye, and I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature\u27s loveliness. My own special self In Donald magisterial Muir\u27s special explored, as is ability, then and see the sacred world. A is the most the great founder of the written. It is the is nothing. Worster\u27s biography, John self is fully his extraordinary now, to get others to beauty of the natural Passion for Nature complete account of conservationist and Sierra Club ever first to be based on Muir\u27s full private correspondence and to meet modem scholarly standards. Yet it is also full of rich detail and personal anecdote, uncovering the complex inner life behind the legend of the solitary mountain man. It traces Muir from his boyhood in Scotland and frontier Wisconsin to his adult life in California right after the Civil War up to his death on the eve of World War One. It explores his marriage and family life, his relationship with his abusive father, his many friendships with the humble and famous (including Theodore Roosevelt and Ralph Waldo Emerson), and his role in founding the modern American conservation movement. Inspired by Muir\u27s passion for the wilderness, Americans created a long and stunning list of national parks and wilderness areas, Yosemite most prominent among them. Yet the book also describes a Muir who was a successful fruit-grower, a talented scientist and world-traveler, a doting father and husband, a self-made man of wealth and political influence. A man for whom mountaineering was a pathway to revelation and worship. For anyone wishing to more fully understand America\u27s first great environmentalist, and the enormous influence he still exerts today, Donald Worster\u27s biography offers a wealth of insight into the passionate nature of a man whose passion for nature remains unsurpassed. About the author: Donald Worster is Hall Distinguished Professor of American History at the University of Kansas. His books include The Wealth of Nature, Under Western Skies, and the Bancroft Prize-winning Dust Bowl. He lives in Lawrence, Kansas. What Would John Muir Say? Edited by Bernice Basser Turoff with photographs by David Best John Muir was truly a Renaissance man. Scientist, poet, ardent conservationist, inventor, political activist, and tramp— he casts an enormous shadow over the environmental movement he helped to form in his adopted California. His many achievements include founding the Sierra Club, and influencing the formation of our National Park System. His last big battle, to preserve Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park, was sadly lost with the construction of O\u27Shaughnessy Dam in 1923. What Would John Muir Say? takes you on a visual journey through John Muir\u27s beloved natural landscapes. It examines the possibility of restoring Hetch Hetchy Valley, and explores some of Muir\u27s insightful thoughts and observations about the glorious world he loved and celebrated. With 82 oversized pages of stunning photographs, this book offers a wonderful introduction to the humorous, poetic musing of this great American hero. For further information: David Best 5909 E.

John Muir\u27s World Tour (Continued from page I) setting out through the Sulu Strait for Manila, which was reached on April 20. Three more days of visiting government forest operations and botanizing added yet more specimens to Muir\u27s baggage as the Empire steamed on to Hong Kong, arriving on the 25*. One last chance to visit a formal botanical garden and then a change of ships, Muir sailed upriver, bound for Canton, through numerable islands which he compared with the Alexander Archipelago of Alaska. Now aboard the coal-fired mail packet, S. S. Siberia, courtesy of railroad tycoon and philanthropist Edward Harriman, the journey took Muir to Shanghai then on to Nagasaki, arriving on May 5. Cultural excursions to a Shinto Temple and walks through Japanese gardens introduced Muir to yet another main tree, the Camphor, which he described as noble, with its impressive girth of 3 to 8 feet in diameter, 4 feet above ground. On to Kobe, via the Inland Sea, every feature glacial, Muir notes. Impressed with the cleanliness of towns having no squalor, unlike much of Asia that he had seen, as well as the beauty of water features, tea gardens, and hillsides, Japan made a favorable and lasting impression on Muir. Once, in Yokohama, he reacquainted himself with the crew of the Bayern, my first home after escaping from the hardships and privations of Russian travel on the Trans-Siberian Railroad, months earlier. Leaving Yokohama on May 12, wet weather and rough seas left everybody with colds, writes Muir. Ten days later, the Hawaiian Islands came into view. A stop in Honolulu allowed Muir a brief visit to Pali, the Bishop Museum and Oahu College, where Muir had acquaintances from years prior. Sorry to leave this charming island, Muir reluctantly reboarded ship on Sunday, May 23, spending the next few days drying yet more plant specimens from Hawaii, a place where he keenly noted, many introduced plants were in process of replacing native vegetation. A week later, Muir was home, docking in San Francisco on May 27, exhausted but energized by his many new botanical discoveries and the cargo of seeds, dried specimens, and publications he had acquired during his World Tour, near-a-year in the field. Once home, we assume Muir had intentions to write up his year-long tour, but he never carved out time to do so. On June 4, Muir wrote C. Hart Merria
