Consumption, the great killer \n  \nNATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE \nWorldwide tuberculosis deaths total 1 billion in two centuries. \nTuberculosis is an ancient enemy. Human bones from the Near East dating back five millennia show the telltale pitting of TB. Mummies from Egypt ca. 2400 BCE show tubercular decay in their spines.\n\nThe ancient Greeks described it, too. Around 460 BCE, Hippocrates identified phthisis, or consumption, as the most widespread disease of his age. It was almost always fatal. Because of that, he advised his followers and students against treating late-stage consumption to avoid damage to their reputations.\n\nIt was called the “king’s evil” in medieval Europe because newly crowned kings (and queens, in England) were alleged to cure scrofula, glandular swellings in the neck associated with TB, with their touch.\n\nMoving toward the present, Franciscus dele Bo Sylvius described the progress of the disease in his Opera Medica of 1679. Two decades later, a public-health edict from the Republic of Lucca in Italy recognized the infectious nature of the disease: “Henceforth, human health should no longer be endangered by objects remaining after the death of a consumptive. The names of the deceased should be reported to the authorities, and measures taken for disinfection.”\n\nBenjamin Martin, an English physician and author of A New Theory of Consumption (1720), hypothesized that TB resulted from the actions of “wonderfully minute living creatures.” Once those creatures established themselves in the body, Martin thought, they would generate the characteristic symptoms of consumption. He further theorized that close contact with a consumptive, including frequent conversation so close as to “draw in part of the breath he emits from the Lungs,” was enough to transmit the disease.\n\nIn 1865, a French military doctor, Jean-Antoine Villemin, demonstrated that the disease could be passed from humans to cattle, and from cattle to rabbits. This was a remarkable breakthrough, because despite Martin’s wondrously small organisms, medical theory still held that each case of consumption arose spontaneously in predisposed people.\n\nA few years later, in 1882, Robert Koch demonstrated conclusively that a bacterial infection caused TB. Later investigations proved that air and secretions expelled from consumptive lungs contained live bacteria.\n\nWhether it is known as lupus vulgaris (TB of the skin), Pott’s disease (TB of the bones), or consumption (the “classic” case of lung disease), TB is one of history’s great killers. It is estimated to be responsible for 20% of the deaths in 17th-century London and 30% of those in 19th-century Paris (as recently depicted in the popular film Moulin Rouge). Although not as aggressive as plague, TB has killed more people in history than the black death, leprosy, or HIV. An estimated 1 billion people around the world have been felled by TB in the past two centuries, and the fatalities continue.\n\n“Romantic” and deadly\nAlthough TB is considered a single disease, it has been caused by at least two microorganisms. Long before TB began killing humans, it afflicted cattle. After cattle became one of humanity’s client species sometime between 8000 and 4000 BCE, however, there is evidence that Mycobacterium bovis infected humanity through the ingestion of milk. This coincides with the earliest discoveries of telltale lesions in human spines dating from 5000 BCE.\n\nHowever, after 1000 BCE the strain of TB seems to have changed. After that time, pulmonary TB caused by M. tuberculosis became widespread. M. tuberculosis is most likely an evolved form of M. bovis that developed among milk-drinking Indo-Europeans, who then spread pulmonary TB on their migrations. By the first millennium BCE, pulmonary TB was endemic throughout the world. The earliest recorded symptoms of pulmonary TB—cough, expectoration, hemoptysis, and wasting—are found in the library of Assu

I like "Criminal Intent" the most. I believe the male investigator on the show is the best actor in all of the series. The way he aggressively pursues the truth from offenders and victims is top-notch. He's a very exciting actor with a great character to work with. I don't have a favorite episode.

Yeah, Keifer does a great job as Jack Bauer!!  I'd love to see Logan's wife giving him a big time beat down but in the end, I think Jack will take care of Logan. I was sooo mad when that guy called and interrupted Logan's suicide!!!
