Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) is the foundation of the turfgrass industry in most tropical and warm-temperate regions. Development of bermudagrass as a turfgrass began in the early 1900s. Many of the cultivars commercially available today have been cooperatively released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) and the University of Georgia at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton, GA.

A 3-year-old Limousin cow was admitted to the University of Georgia Teaching Hospital with a history of chronic weight loss and diarrhea of more than 1 year's duration. Clinical laboratory findings included proteinuria and hypoproteinemia and were suggestive of a nephrotic-like syndrome. Necropsy findings included generalized edema of the visceral organs and diffuse red glistening foci on the capsular and cut surfaces of the cortex of both kidneys. Microscopically, the kidney had hypercellular and hypersegmented glomeruli, focal glomerulosclerosis, periglomerular fibrosis, and tubular nephrosis. The glomerular hypercellularity was confirmed by electron microscopy to be due to increased mesangial cells.

Abstract Background Crawford Williamson Long (1815 to 1878) was the first to use ether as an inhaled anesthetic for surgical operations. By not publishing his discovery for 7 yr, his pioneering work was largely overshadowed by that of Horace Wells (1815 to 1848), Charles Thomas Jackson (1805 to 1880), and William Thomas Green Morton (1819 to 1868). As a result, sites commemorating Long’s discovery are not offered the same recognition as those affiliated with Wells or Morton. Methods We highlight sites in Athens, Danielsville, and Jefferson, Georgia, that honor the first man to regularly use ether as an anesthetic agent. Extensive site visits, examination of museum artifacts, and genealogical research were used to obtain information being presented. Results Historic Oconee Hill Cemetery in Athens is where Long and members of his family are buried. Established in 1856, it is closely linked to the history of Athens and the University of Georgia (Athens, Georgia). The main site we describe is the Crawford W. Long Museum, located in Jefferson, Georgia, which opened to the public in 1957. It has undergone extensive renovations and holds an expansive collection of Long’s family heirlooms and personal artifacts. In addition, it displays an impressive art collection, depicting Long, surgical procedures, members of Long’s family, and homes associated with him. Visitors to the museum may also enjoy a walking audio tour that highlights the life of Long and his contribution to medicine. Conclusions We provide information on sites and artifacts that honor Georgia’s most celebrated physician. Much of this has not been published before, and it is our hope that Crawford Williamson Long’s legacy receives the attention it richly deserves.

Abstract Although it holds one of the largest university-based natural history collections in the United States, little has been known historically about the early development of the Georgia Museum of Natural History at the University of Georgia in Athens. Formally established in 1978, it was recognized as the state museum of natural history in 1999, but the findings presented here reveal that the origins of the museum’s collections date to much earlier: the early 1800s. Research conducted at the Richard B. Russell Special Collections Library tells the previously unknown story of the museum’s founding and growth during the nineteenth century. This paper details key aspects of the development of the collection, its changing location on campus, and the museum’s relationship with the university’s library and botanical gardens; it also identifies researchers in charge of the collections in the early and pivotal years of the institution.
