He "...spoke on Medical Preparedness and the need of the National Government for medical men at the present time..." and "...a rising vote of thanks was extended..."〔New York State Journal of Medicine, Volume 17, the New York State Medical Association reporting on the Essex County Medical Society semi-annual meeting, Elizabethtown, June 5, 1917 p. 344〕 He was assistant attending surgeon at Lincoln Hospital (1910–1913) and at Roosevelt Hospital (1913–1921).〔van Beuren, Frederick T.

It is more than eighty pages long (pp. 249-335) and contains eighty-six illustrations (line drawings that are indexed separately on pages xxv-xxvii)〕 teaching surgeons new techniques he developed or advised in the emerging field of modern surgery that was made possible through anesthesia and aseptic procedures. Many of his clinical studies were in the field of gastroenterological surgery, documenting the scientific data he gathered to advance medical knowledge about and to enable better diagnoses and choices of treatment for conditions that often resulted in the deaths of patients.〔Science, March 19, 1943: Vol. 97, no. 2516, pp. 256- ()〕 He died at Morristown Memorial Hospital in New Jersey, where he was its president. The New York Times was alerted about his death by the New Jersey newspapers and the Times published an obituary. His death was noted in many professional journals. Science, the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, also published an obituary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederick T. van Beuren, Jr.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
