  • a note on Pierre Marie 1853 1940
    Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 2004
    Co-Authors: J M S Pearce
    Abstract:

    It is perhaps a reflection of the great pace of medical advance in the 19th and early 20th century that Charcot, Gowers, Foix, Parkes Weber, and others had so many diseases to commemorate their names. Much has been written about the merits and drawbacks of eponyms1 but the habit lingers. For assiduous collators, one of the most impressive lists attributed to a single individual is associated with Pierre Marie. Pierre Marie was born of a wealthy Parisian family. He attended a boarding school in Vauves. Under coercion from his father he read law before deciding on a medical career. He became an intern in 1878 and under the spell of Charcot soon developed an interest in nervous diseases at the Salpetriere and Bicetre. An outstanding student, he worked as special clinical assistant. In 1883 he received his doctorate with a dissertation on Basedow’s disease,† which included his observations on static tremor …

  • primary lateral sclerosis and Pierre Marie
    Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 2004
    Co-Authors: J M S Pearce
    Abstract:

    Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is an idiopathic non-familial neurodegenerative disorder of upper motor neurones. It presents as a slowly progressive pyramidal tract syndrome, sometimes with marked pseudobulbar symptoms. The diagnosis is based on exclusion of other causes. Pringle and colleagues1 proposed diagnostic criteria in 1992 for PLS: adult onset; negative family history; duration of at least three years (to exclude motor neurone disease (ALS)); and normal blood, CSF, EMG, and MRI results. However, it remains an enigmatic, heterogeneous syndrome of uncertain nosology, for some clinically …

  • pituitary tumours and acromegaly Pierre Marie s disease
    Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 2002
    Co-Authors: J M S Pearce
    Abstract:

    Because physicians of the early nineteenth century were unaware of the endocrine system, acromegaly was regarded as an intrinsic bone disease. Andrea Verga1 in 1864 and Vincenzo Brigidi in 1877 reported early macroscopic and microscopic descriptions of pituitary tumours in acromegalic patients.2 However, Saucerotte3 reported in 1772 an atypical case in a 39 year old man published in 1801.4 Lombroso had in 1869 described the enlarged organs and limbs as macrosomia. Major also relates a case with an enlarged pituitary gland at autopsy reported before Marie’s paper by Klebs, and Fritzsche in 1884. Marie published his pathological studies in two patients in 1886,5 and gave his name to the disorder; he mentions Saucerotte’s patient. This was followed by longer communications in the Nouvelle Iconographie de la Salpetriere , and in Brain in 1890. By this time, …

    Co-Authors: Gustavo M. De Almeida, Francisco M.b. Germiniani, Hélio A.g. Teive
    Abstract:

    The authors review the most important contributions of Pierre Marie to the elucidation and description of several neurological diseases, such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth's disease and hereditary cerebellar ataxia, as well as his contributions to Internal Medicine, including his pioneering studies on acromegaly, ankylosing spondylitis, and hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy. His works led to incontestable advances in the medical sciences that transcended his time.

  • The Essential Role of Pierre Marie to Neurological Sciences (P6.332)
    Neurology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Francisco M.b. Germiniani, Hélio A.g. Teive, Gustavo M. De Almeida
    Abstract:

    Objectives: The purpose of the present work is to highlight the role of Pierre Marie to the build-up of Neurology. Background: During the ninetieth and twentieth centuries clinicians, anatomists and pathologists performed a considerable work in the field of Neurology. Special credit should be given to Pierre Marie, an eminent French neurologist of the early twentieth century. Design/method: Historical review. Results: Pierre Marie (1853-1940) was a prominent member of the French neurological world of the early twentieth century and a brilliant student of Charcot. At the end of his residency he defended his M.D. thesis on Graves9s disease and became chief resident under the direction of Charcot. Together, they described a condition characterized by progressive muscular atrophy, later known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Along with Edouard Brissaud, he founded the journal Revue Neurologique in 1893, and the Societe de Neurologie de Paris in 1899, of which he was the first General Secretary. He was appointed interne des hopitaux de Paris in 1878 and associate professor at the Bicetre Hospital and later at the Salpetriere Hospital, in 1895 and 1911 respectively. He described acromegaly, cerebellar tonsil herniation, hereditary cerebellar ataxia, hypertrophic pulmonary osteo-arthropathy, hereditary cleidocranial dysostosis and rhizomelic spondylosis, as well as contributing to the study of bone and joint pathology. His work on aphasia was opposed to that of Paul Broca and Karl Wernicke, which resulted in several famous and intense debates with Dejerine in 1908. Pierre Marie published various works dedicated to the neurological sequels due to World War I injuries in collaboration with Charles Foix and Henry Meige. At the age of 64, he took over from Dejerine as the chairman of the Clinic of Nervous Diseases until his retirement in 1923. Conclusion: Pierre Marie9s researches led to an incontestable growth of the medical sciences that transcended his time. Disclosure: Dr. Germiniani has nothing to disclose. Dr. Teive has nothing to disclose. Dr. de Almeida has nothing to disclose.

  • The Duels of Pierre Marie and Jules Dejerine.
    European neurology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Hélio A.g. Teive, Matheus Gomes Ferreira, Carlos Henrique Ferreira Camargo, Renato P. Munhoz, Olivier Walusinski
    Abstract:

    In no country has the duel prevailed to such a great extent as in France where the matter of dueling and affairs of honor were of frequent occurrence until the 20th century. The term duel has since been established for any contest between 2 persons or parties, be they sporting, intellectual, political, or in other matters. Despite their worldwide recognition and great scientific production, Pierre Marie and Jules Dejerine became rivals at the end of the 19th century. While Marie defended Charcot's neurological school at Salpetriere Hospital, Dejerine had his own neurology school to contend. The fierce antagonism between them materialized to the verge of a real death duel in 1892 and later to an intellectual duel in the famous debate about aphasias, held in Paris in 1908.

  • Jules Joseph Dejerine: an outstanding neurologist and Charcot's enemy.
    Arquivos de neuro-psiquiatria, 2018
    Co-Authors: Gustavo Koíti Kondo, Carla Caroline Schramm, Max Rainer Rosado Novaes, Hélio A.g. Teive
    Abstract:

    Jules Joseph Dejerine (1849-1917) became renowned for his many contributions to neurology, including his anatomical and anatomo-functional studies, particularly those in the field of language and the peripheral nervous system. A disciple of Vulpian and a rival of Charcot, Dejerine progressed rapidly in the academic world, reaching the peak of his career in 1911, when he was appointed to the chair of Nervous System Diseases at the Salpetriere Hospital after defeating Pierre Marie (1853-1940), one of the most distinguished pupils of Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893).

  • Charcot's famous secretaries

  • In the land of giants: the legacy of José Dantas de Souza Leite
    Arquivos de neuro-psiquiatria, 2015
    Co-Authors: Hélio A.g. Teive, Francisco M.b. Germiniani, Plínio M. G. Lima, Cesar Luiz Boguszewski
    Abstract:

    The authors describe the extraordinary contribution to science made by Jose Dantas de Souza Leite, who graduated from the Bahia School of Medicine and trained in Prof. Charcot’s Neurology Service under the supervision of Charcot’s most able pupil, Dr. Pierre Marie. Souza Leite presented his doctoral thesis on acromegaly, in Paris in 1890, and in the following year both him and Pierre Marie published a book on the subject, “Essays on Acromegaly”. This exceptional work established Souza Leite internationally as an important researcher, and the first Brazilian physician to contribute to the development of neuroendocrinology in an innovative way.
