1940s Lane Ameen, M.D. ’46, Psychiatrist, dies at 85. Dr. Ameen, a longtime Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University, fellow of Jonathan Edwards College at Yale, practicing psychiatrist and Medical Director and CEO of a private psychiatric hospital, died at his home in New Haven June 13, 2009 after a brief illness. Dr. Ameen came to Yale in the early 1950s where he remained his entire career. His research interests were varied and evolved along with the field of psychiatry in general. His early research focused on schizophrenia, psychosomatic disorders, and traditional psychotherapeutic methods of the Freudian era. He was later influenced by Erik Erikson in his research and practice and later still by the emerging psychopharmacological studies and treatments that are common in the practice of psychiatry today. Dr. Ameen was the Medical Director and CEO of Elmcrest Psychiatric Institute in Portland, CT. During his time at Elmcrest, he led the hospital's movement away from being a solely full-stay residential facility. The hospital built what were then innovative networks of statewide partial hospital program treatment facilities. In addition, the Elmcrest approach helped pioneer many techniques, which have since become the norm in many current psychotherapies including discouraging the locking of doors, innovative therapies incorporating the arts and no uniform requirements on the part of the patients or staff. The hospital was sold in 1997. Dr. Ameen continued to serve as a consultant for a number of years but the hospital has since closed and is no longer operational. Beginning in 1980, Dr. Ameen became a consultant to the Kuwaiti government working with the University of Kuwait in setting up a psychiatric department, psychiatric hospitals, and psychiatric outpatient departments. He lectured extensively during this period at the University of Kuwait School of Medicine. He was actively involved with the Long Wharf Theater in New Haven for many years serving on its Board of Trustees beginning in 1965. Among his many philanthropic and community-based activities, Dr. Ameen was the President of the Fellowship Club Inc., a community-based organization that provides psychosocial rehabilitation services to adults recovering from mental illness. Lane Ameen was born in Hopewell, VA the son of immigrant parents from Lebanon. He graduated from the University of Virginia in 1943 and received his M.D. from there in 1946. He received his psychiatric training at the Menninger Institute and his psychoanalytic training at Western New England Psychoanalytic Institute. Dr. Ameen was a Captain in the U.S. Army and served as a psychiatric consultant and practitioner to the government in many capacities including many years of service with the Veterans Administration Healthcare System. He is survived by his wife of 52 years May Sams Ameen; his daughter Nancy of Bryn Mawr PA.; his son the jazz musician Robby Ameen of New York; a sister Josephine Brashear of San Juan Capistrano, CA and a brother David of Hopewell, VA, as well as four grandchildren.

Hardenburg, Jr., M.D., a pioneer in the treatment of renal disease, died Saturday, April 11, 2009, at the age of 76 from complications of rheumatoid arthritis. A service of remembrance will be held at Princeton University's Chapel on May 29 at 10 a.m. For more information, please contact hevenson@comcast.net. An avid skier in his youth, Dr. Hardenburg died peacefully at his home in the mountains of Cedar City, Utah, where he had retired with his wife, Judith, in 1998 after raising their family in Summit and Berkeley Heights, N.J. A New Jersey native, Dr. Hardenburg received a full scholarship to attend Princeton University, where he majored in biology and physics. After earning an M.D. at Temple University School of Medicine and further training at the University of Virginia and Columbia University, Dr. Hardenburg became one of New Jersey's first practicing nephrologists. He was responsible for many advances in the treatment of renal disease, as well as research and training in nephrology. He was particularly revered for designing technological innovations that made artificial kidney dialysis machines fail safe, then donated his patent rights so that dialysis machines world-wide could be retrofitted and new machines could be made with these improvements as standard equipment without delay. In 1960, Dr. Hardenburg began the process to establish a dialysis unit at Overlook Hospital's Community Medical Center in Summit, N.J., starting with a single Travenol artificial kidney machine donated by the Overlook Hospital Auxiliary. Overlook Hospital's dialysis unit was one of three pioneering centers that were established in the state at that time; the others were in urban Jersey City and Newark. Working in partnership with Ciba Pharmaceuticals, who supported the dialysis center for its possible treatment of acute drug overdoses, Dr. Hardenburg tested the equipment and treatment plans on dogs, which were surgically altered at Ciba's Summit laboratory and then treated at Overlook in the dialysis unit. Owing to the success of those early trials, the first human patients were dialyzed at Overlook Hospital in 1962 and Dr. Hardenburg proved that a community-based dialysis unit model could be successful. This early success in a community hospital setting contributed to the approval of other community-based dialysis centers across the country in an era when dialysis was available to only a small fraction of those it might have benefited. The community-based center at Overlook Hospital continues to thrive and serve patients today. In 1968, Dr. Hardenburg again was noted as a pioneer, as the attending nephrologist for the first kidney transplant performed in New Jersey, which took place at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston. He may also have been the first nephrologist to use radiology equipment as a visual guide during kidney biopsy procedures, a practice he espoused and trained other doctors to perform before this became a standard practice. Dr. Hardenburg continued to serve on the staffs of St. Barnabas and Overlook Hospital until his retirement in 1998, serving area patients with acute and chronic kidney disease and hypertension. Throughout his career, he conducted research and published papers at International and National Nephrology Conventions. In his later years, his research was concentrated in the areas of plasmapheresis and cyclosporine pharmacokinetics. He was also a favorite teacher of many residents from Overlook Hospital and Columbia Presbyterian Hospital's joint rotational teaching program. Dr. Hardenburg is survived by his wife of 46 years, Judith; his son, Kurt of Clinton, N.J.; his daughter, Erika of Manhattan; his daughter, Heidi Evenson; son-in-law, William Evenson; grandson, Will; granddaughters, Kelsey, Courtney and Kathryn of Summit, N.J., and his sister, Marie Brangenbergof Arizona.

Morris, for 31 years and his nursing colleague, Libby Showalter, for over 20 years.

In addition to his children, Jim's proudest accomplishments were his medical mission trips to Haiti and Brazil, his service as a member of First Presbyterian Church, and his time as President of the Warrior Club at Western Albemarle High School. Jim was an avid sports fan, and he especially enjoyed any game in which one of his children participated. He was an accomplished woodworker, pilot, and had recently taken up the sport of "dodge ball" with his granddaughter, Ellie, who lovingly calls him Bo. He was eagerly anticipating the arrival of his second granddaughter, Isabella.

He was promoted to Professor in 1980, and was named Professor Emeritus in 2002. Thad made numerous contributions to the fields of Pediatrics and Medical Genetics. His clinical and research interests included lysosomal storage disease, enzyme replacement therapy, neurogenetic disorders, short stature and skeletal dysplasias, the use of growth hormone to treat genetic disorders, the X chromosome and X-linked disorders, syndrome delineation and characterization, teratology, and Prader-Willi syndrome. Thad was a Founding Fellow of the American College of Medical Genetics, President of the American Board of Medical Genetics and the Mid-Atlantic Human Genetics Network, and served on the Board of Directors of the Little People of America, the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation, the MPS Society, the Virginia Prevention Council, and the Genentech Foundation for Growth and Development. He served on the editorial board of the American Journal of Medical Genetics, the Journal of Medical Genetics, and Clinical Dysmorphology and Birth Defects. He authored more than 230 articles, abstracts, and book chapters, as well as two medical genetics texts. Thad helped design and implement the statewide Virginia Genetics Plan, bringing medical genetics to families and communities throughout central and western Virginia through clinics, home visits, and continuing medical education lectures. Thad initiated the Enzyme Replacement Program at the University of Virginia, the first such program in Virginia to treat patients with certain lysosomal storage diseases. Through his work, Thad touched the lives of thousands of patients and families and was much loved by his colleagues. Thad was an elder and active member of Westminster Presbyterian Church, particularly in its mission work. He led numerous medical mission and relief trips, individually and with church members and University of Virginia students, to Kenya, Honduras and the New Orleans area.

Ruth, Ph.D., CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA: Dr. Roger Allan Ruth, 58, of Charlottesville, Virginia passed away on July 13, 2009 at his home. He was born on September 2, 1950 in Marion, Ohio to Richard "Dick" and Magadaline "Mickie" Ruth. He is survived by his wife, Robin; children, Micah Ruth of Charlottesville, Aaron and Tara Ruth of Richmond, and Leah Ruth, John, Laura, and James McGurn, all of Charlottesville; mother, Mickie; and sister, Judy Kuhn of Marion, Ohio. He graduated with his Bachelors ('73), Masters ('74), and Doctorate ('77) degrees in Audiology from his beloved, The Ohio State University. Dr. Ruth served for over 30 years as Director of Audiology and Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center in Charlottesville. In 2000, he undertook a joint faculty position at James Madison University as Professor in the department of Communications Sciences and Disorders. His contributions to his profession were many and varied. He was a founding member of the American Academy of Audiology, which bestowed upon him the Distinguished Achievement Award in 2008. His most recent contribution to the AAA was to chair the Ethical Practice Committee. He was a founding member of the American Society of Neurophysiological Monitoring, a president of the American Auditory Society, and has held leadership positions in many other professional organizations and societies. He was instrumental in developing the newborn hearing screening program for the State of Virginia. Dr. Ruth has authored numerous scientific journal articles and book chapters. His professional service, also, included serving as an editor and reviewer of professional journal manuscripts and research grant applications for a number of national funding agencies including the National Institutes of Health, the Veteran's Administration, National Science Foundation, and March of Dimes. Throughout his career, Dr. Ruth maintained a clinical practice at the University of Virginia, but when asked what he did for a living, he said he was a teacher. As a professor Dr. Ruth loved advising, mentoring, and nurturing numerous students, while he pushed them to discover the edge of their envelope. His unbounded composure and levelheaded approach to every problem will never be forgotten. He raised being late to an art form, and lived by the motto, "If it wasn't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done." He was a devoted husband and father, who never missed a family event and relished the chaotic dinners with the whole clan. He was an avid sports fan and active in the community, illustrated by his service as president of McIntire Little League from 1989-1993. He loved the Cavaliers and Buckeyes (especially football). He found solace in the outdoors, especially at his "sanctuary" on Calf Mtn. The family wishes to thank the many people involved in Roger's care over the past two years, but in particular, Dr. Geoff Weiss, Dr. Andrew Wang, Dawn Cox, RN, and Dr. Fritz Angle at U.Va. for care above and beyond the call. They also appreciate the efforts of Dr. Virginia Boothe and Legacy Hospice during the last weeks of Roger's life. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Virginia Lions Hearing Foundation and Research Center (University of Virginia Health Sciences Center, Box 800477, Charlottesville, VA 22903) or by donating blood to your local blood bank.
