  • Titulo Artículo: Some Recollections of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases Transformative Decade 1970-1979
  • Resumen: My principal focus will be on the decade of the 1970s when I served on the Governing Board, a time when AASLD had become ripe for change. It had begun as a small private group of friends meeting in 1948 in the library of the Hektoen Institute for Medical Research of the Cook County Hospital in Chicago, hosted by Dr. Hans Popper. The Macy Conference on liver injury of 1943 stimulated a postwar series of informal exchange of ideas among scientists at meetings of the Central Society for Clinical Research at the Drake Hotel in Chicago. The issues concerned the problem of viral hepatitis in the armed forces in World War II and applying serum enzymology to diagnose liver injury. At a second Hektoen meeting held in November 1949, which was attended by 46 scientists, Popper led the group to agree on a formal organization to begin in 1950 as the Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (ASLD), with Leon Schiff its first president, Fred Hoffbauer vice-president, Robert Kark treasurer, and himself as secretary. Dr. Popper is shown in Fig. 1 at his favorite work as an hepatic pathologist.
