JMM, past and present. Cysticerci cellulosae of the brain. 1864.
While striving to serve the needs of the international biomedical community of today, we would also like to remember JMM's long past as a venue for medical research. JMM is the successor to the Berlin Clinical Weekly (Berliner Klinische Wochenschrift), established in 1864. Below are excerpts from the Berlin Clinical Weekly's May issue from a hundred and thirty-five years ago, giving hints about the challenges and solutions being addressed by medical research of the time. Following the excerpt is a commentary by Martin Zeitz and Thomas Schneider, experts in gastroenterology at the University Clinic Benjamin Franklin in Berlin, Germany.
