The Randolph W. Thrower Symposium: A Lasting Legacy of Margaret and Randolph Thrower
Randolph W. Thrower¿our father and grandfather¿was remarkable in many ways: an exceptional attorney; a civic and political leader; a courageous public servant; a zealous advocate for the rights of women, minorities, and the poor; and mentor to generations of young lawyers. But although the Thrower Symposium bears Randolph¿s name, the genesis of the symposium came not from Randolph, but rather from his wife, Margaret Munroe Thrower

Letter from Peyton Randolph, Eutaw, Alabama, to G. W. Robertson, Marion, Mississippi, February 8, 1859
This item is from the Robert Jemison, Jr. Papers. The collection spans the period from 1797 to 1960 and includes both the personal and business papers of Robert Jemison, Jr., along with papers of Robert Jemison (grandfather), William Jemison (father), Priscilla Jemison (wife), Cherokee Jemison Hargrove (daughter), and Andrew Coleman Hargrove (son-in-law), and Robert Jemison, Jr. (IV) of Birmingham (1878-1973). Included are the records of his grist and lumber mills, plantations, stage line, the Tuskaloosa Plank Road, toll bridges, ferries, postal contracts, and the North East and South West Railroad

IONM of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve
Thyroid surgery can pose risk to both the right and the left recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN) in a single surgical procedure. Unilateral vocal cord palsy (VCP) can lead to morbidity related to changes in voice, especially in professional voice users, as well as potential dysphagia and aspiration, while bilateral VCP may require tracheostomy. Visualization of the RLN during surgery has been considered the gold standard for preventing injury to the RLN; however, an intraoperatively visualized and structurally intact nerve does not necessarily represent a postoperatively functioning nerve. Neural monitoring has increasingly gained the attention of surgeons performing thyroid and parathyroid surgeries around the world. Current studies suggest that a majority of general and head and neck surgeons use neural monitoring in at least some of their thyroid surgical cases. This chapter presents a historical overview and usage patterns of intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) of the RLN and discusses its impact on surgical practice, including intraoperative applications of IONM, medicolegal aspects and standards of IONM, normative data, as well as current advances in IONM such as continuous IONM

Intraoperative Neural Injury Management: Neuropraxic Non-transection Injury
During thyroid surgery, the macroscopically intact recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) may cease to function, even though it is not transected. Traction, cautery, pressure, crush, or being tied in surrounding tissue are some causes of impaired function during surgery. Invisible RLN injuries (such as thermal, traction, compression, contusion, or pressure) are not detected by the surgeon’s eye; only a functional assessment of the RLN with intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) can detect such insults. With the application of IONM, we appreciate that traction is the major cause of RLN injury during thyroid surgery
