GENIAL JOHN MCCULLOUGH: ACTOR AND MANAGER
No full textIn the last few years of his life, tragedian John Henry McCullough was one of the most popular and successful actors on the American stage, earning an average of $50,000 a year. His career followed the ideal rags-to-riches theme: a poor, uneducated Irish immigrant, through hard, diligent work, rises to a position of national prominence. Born in the small village of Blakes, Londonderry Province, Ireland, on November 14, 1832, McCullough immigrated to New York in the spring of 1847 and settled in Philadelphia. He learned how to write, and read extensively to educate himself. He became interested in the theatre and began his first professional engagement at the Arch Street Theatre in the fall of 1857. Beginning with the 1861-62 season, McCullough played second leading roles in support of Edwin Forrest for five years. In the spring of 1866, McCullough accompanied Forrest to San Francisco; he remained to open the California Theatre in January of 1869, turning the California into one of the best managed stock theatres in the country, and establishing himself as a favorite actor on the west coast. McCullough began touring the country in 1873; by 1878 he had become so successful that he formed his own combination company, with which he toured until his career ended in September, 1884. He died in Philadelphia a year later, on November 8, 1885. McCullough acted in the majority of the tragedies popular during those days, among them Hamlet, Othello, Richard III, King Lear, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, and Richelieu. His most popular play was Sheridan Knowles\u27 Virginius. John Ranken Towse of the New York Evening Post described his characterization of the Roman father as robust and manly, his face Roman, his gestures strong and dignified, and his voice full and generally musical. Called Genial John by his close associates, McCullough gave freely of both his time and money. In private life, he had a reputation for being as honest and straightforward as the Roman characters that became his specialty. As long as Victorian society clung to the values represented in characters who were heroic, honest, loyal to family and country, and noble, Virginius would seem to offer essential truths for all time. While McCullough sought to make his acting more subtle like Edwin Booth\u27s by studying Delsarte techniques, the romantic style of both actors was to disappear from the stage by 1900, to be replaced by a style that adhered more closely to the appearance of everyday life.

Turning the history of medical ethics from its head onto its feet: A critical commentary on Baker and McCullough
No full textThe paper provides a critical commentary on the article by Baker and McCullough on Medical Ethic's Appropriation of Moral Philosophy. The author argues that Baker and McCullough offer a more "pragmatic" approach to the history of medical ethics that has the potential to enrich the bioethics field with a greater historical grounding and sound methodology. Their approach can help us to come to a more nuanced understanding about the way in which medical ethics has connected, disconnected, and reconnected with philosophical ideas throughout the centuries. The author points out that Baker and McCullough's model can run the danger of overemphasizing the role of medical ethicists whilst marginalizing the influence of philosophers and of other historical actors and forces. He critically reviews the two case studies on which Baker and McCullough focus and concludes that scholars need to bear in mind the levels of uncertainty and ambivalence that accompany the process of transformation and dissemination of moral values in medicine and medical practice
Actual duration of patient-reported mucositis: Far longer than 2 to 4 weeks and may be avoidable altogether
No full textThe impression that oral mucositis is a brief 14–28 day-consequence of chemoradiation is misguided. Clinically significant patient-reported oral mucositis may last 46 to 102 days depending on the treatment schedule and the modality used. The process of mucositis can occur in the epithelium throughout the entire GI tract and may possibly be avoided with the prescribed use of high potency polymerized cross-linked sucralfate (HPPCLS). Literature review of patient-reported mucositis occuring in the three common schedules of cancer treatment administration: daily radiation therapy, induction-based hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and multi-cycle chemo/immunotherapy (CT-IT). Review articles published in last 15 years focused on treatment-induced oral mucositis. The author reviewed 56 articles published in 15 years from 1999–2014 that focused primarily on treatment-induced oral mucositis. Only 6 were found to meet the criteria of providing patient-reported data from the beginning, throughout and following cancer treatment. For HSCT, radiation therapy, and CT-IT, despite active anti-mucositis treatment, patient-reported oral mucositis lasted 46–60 days, 70–84 days, and 68–102 days, respectively. Mucositis caused by cancer treatment, regardless of modality, lasts far longer than the oft quoted 2–4 weeks (range, 14–28 days). Patient reported mucositis persists from 46 to 102 days. This patient-based experience is the primary cause of treatment interruptions, delays or cancellations. It may be avoidable with HPPCLS that both prevents and rapidly reverses mucositis anywhere it occurs within the gastrointestinal tract
Selective Appropriation, Medical Ethics, and Health Politics: The Complementarity of Baker, McCullough, and Me
No full textBaker and McCullough (2007) criticize a 1979 article by this author for insufficiently appreciating how physicians have appropriated ideas from moral philosophy. This rejoinder argues that the two articles are complementary. The 1979 article summarized evidence that leading physicians in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries appropriated ideas from moral philosophy and related disciplines that reinforced their political goals of self-regulation and dominance of the allocation of resources for health. In retrospect the 1979 article also urged bioethicists to appropriate ideas from other disciplines, including moral philosophy, which would contribute to improving the health of populations
Deciphering the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome and functional gastrointestinal disorders—an alternative model for pathogenesis: cytokine controlled transepithelial multi-feedback loop
No full textColleen McCullough and the evidence: some case studies in the Late Roman Republic
No full textThe historical fictions series Masters of Rome (1990 - 2007) by Dr Colleen McCullough-Robinson is based upon almost two decades of research into the ancient world, depicting the political and military struggles of the first century B.C.E which ultimately transformed the Roman Republic into the military autocracy of the Principate. This thesis is concerned with how the author has recreated some key historical events surrounding the year 60 B.C.E, that year in which Asinius Pollio saw the beginning of the end for the Republic and which Sir Ronald Syme saw as the beginning of the 'Roman Revolution', from the extant ancient evidence and in the context of modern academic scholarship. This study is thus something of a combination between what ancient historians would recognise as traditional source criticism, in examining how McCullough interpreted the ancient sources, and of a reception study, in that the thesis examines a modern literary representation of antiquity. Although this thesis will examine how the ancient evidence and modern scholarship has influenced the representation of the late Roman Republic in the novel Caesar's Women (1996), it is not my intent to merely criticise McCullough's interpretations. Issues of narrative elements such as plot development and characterization will also be addressed for understanding why sources have been interpreted in a particular way. As a conclusion to the thesis, the historiographical significance of McCullough's presentation of history, evoking a Rankean idea of 'the past as it really was', will be examined
