Martin A. Samuels, MD, DSc (hon), FAAN, MACP, FRCP, FANA, is an American physician, neurologist and teacher of medicine. He writes on the relationships between neurology and the rest of medicine, and has linked the nervous system with cardiac function, highlighting the mechanisms and prevention of neurogenic cardiac disease. ==Education and training== Born in Cleveland, Ohio on June 24, 1945, Samuels attended Cleveland Heights High School, where he was an honors graduate and president of the 3,300 student body. He delivered the graduation address, elected by his class, and was later elected to the Cleveland Heights High School Hall of Fame. Samuels credits his own childhood pediatrician in Cleveland, Dr. J.W. Epstein, with providing early inspiration for his future career path in medicine. He was also exposed to medicine, and specifically the brain-heart connection, before medical school through his cousin, Matthew Levy, a cardiovascular physiologist at Mount Sinai Hospital and Case Western Reserve Medical School. Samuels received his Bachelor of Arts degree in biology from Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts in 1967, where, as elected class speaker, he delivered an address titled "Lumberjackets and Dogs." In 1971 he received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, where he was elected to the Pi Kappa Epsilon Honor Society and was selected as class speaker to deliver an (Honors Day Address ) titled "Mark Hopkins on One End and I on the Other." The University of Cincinnati later awarded him an honorary Doctor of Science degree (2005). In 2011, Samuels was asked to deliver the Honors Day Address, titled "Invaders from Mars with Commentary by Robbie Burns," to mark the 40th anniversary of his 1971 graduation address. Samuels also received an honorary Master of Arts degree from Harvard University in 1993. During medical school, Samuels was influenced by a number of mentors, including Benjamin Felson, Richard Vilter, Edward Gall, Roger Crafts, Evelyn Hess, Gustave Eckstein and Charles Aring, the latter of whom drew him into the field of neurology. He spent a period of time in hepatology and immunology research with the late Dame Professor Sheila Sherlock at the Royal Free Hospital in London. The work resulted in his first scientific publication in ''Gut'' showing that a serum factor present in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis was responsible for the autoimmune nature of the disease.〔Fox RA, Dudley JF, Samuels MA, Milligan J, Sherlock S. Lymphocyte transformation in response to phytohemagglutinin in primary biliary cirrhosis: The search for a plasma inhibitory factor. Gut. 1973; 14:89-93〕 Following medical school, Samuels trained first by completing a full residency in internal medicine at the Boston City Hospital, serving as the medical chief resident in 1974-5, and then as a fellow in neuropathology (1975–76) and senior resident in neurology (1976–77) at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Samuels is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Neurology. 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「Martin A. Samuels」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
