Series Description

From the Series: The "Professional Associations and Consulting" series documents many of Dr. Asbury's professional activities between 1971 and 2007 that were not directly related to the administration of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. These activities include participation in national and international meetings; consulting for national medical advisory programs, neuroscience research organizations, and major studies of neurological disorders; legal consulting; and reviews of peer institutions' neurology departments. Files in this series are arranged in alphabetical order by institution or organization name. Of note in this series are files related to a set of studies of Chinese Paralytic Syndrome (also called acute motor axonal neuropathy), a variant of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, conducted between 1991 and 1999 by Dr. Asbury and several neurologists at Johns Hopkins University. The series also includes records of studies for which Dr. Asbury consulted, including the Institute of Medicine's investigations into vaccine safety and Persian Gulf Syndrome. External reviews of neurology departments in which Dr. Asbury participated include those at University of Alabama, Emory University, University of Utah, and Johns Hopkins University. Records documenting his participation in meetings, symposia, and workshops make up a large portion of this series. Organizations include the American Academy of Neurology and its Polyneuropathy Task Force, the American Neurological Association, the Guillain-Barré Syndrome Foundation International, the International Congress on Neuromuscular Diseases, the Peripheral Nerve Study Group, the World Federation of Neurology, and many others. These files typically include printed programs, correspondence about conference logistics, and notes taken by Dr. Asbury's about talks or working sessions. Although he often presented papers or taught courses at these meetings, there are very few copies of his lecture notes included in this series.
