	Thomas Sydenham (www.whonamedit.com)
		Thomas Sydenham was the son of William Sydenham, a wealthy Dorset Squire, and Mary, daughter of Sir John Geoffrey.
		Sydenham appeared to distrust all recent discoveries in anatomy, botany, and physiology, and seemed to have no knowledge of William Harvey’s (1578-1657) discovery of the circulation in 1628, nor of Richard Lower’s (1631-1691) blood transfusion in 1665, or Christopher Wren’s (1632-1723) injections in 1656.
		Sydenham was characterized as an investigator free of prejudices.

	Sydenham, Thomas Information on Healthline
		Thomas Sydenham (1624–1689) is often referred to as the English Hippocrates because of the emphasis, in his medical practice and teachings, of the importance of bedside observation.
		Thomas was wounded, two of his brothers were killed, their mother was murdered by Royalist troops, and the eldest brother, William, became a leading figure in Cromwell's protectorate.
		Sydenham's unpopularity with leading physicians during the period of Restoration in which he practiced may in part have been the consequence of his political history, as well as his lack of a full classical education, attributable to the interruption of his Oxford education by military service.

	Back to the Future: Sydenham vs. the Holistic Therapies - Peter Morrell
		Sydenham is most highly regarded for liberating medicine from the flowery and absurd excesses of speculation in academia and restoring it as a practical concern of viewing the disease and observing the patient.
		The speed and eagerness with which Sydenham was embraced by his successors and elevated to a figure of such authority, might therefore reflect the desperation of their predicament, as much as his true genius as a pragmatic clinician eager to firmly re-ground medicine in clinical observation and experience.
		Sydenham’s true worth may not have been as a practical physician, but as a medical conceptualist, who pushed medicine in a totally new direction and gave it a conceptual fabric, which is still central to its world-view.

	WE MOVE - Pediatric Sydenham's Chorea Information for Patients and Caregivers
		Sydenham's chorea is considered a neurological complication following infection with particular strains of streptococci (i.e., group A beta-hemolytic streptococci).
		A diagnosis of Sydenham's chorea is primarily based upon a thorough clinical evaluation, detection of characteristic symptoms and findings, and a careful patient history.
		As Sydenham's chorea may spontaneously resolve or not cause significant functional impairment, many experts indicate that treatment with certain medications, such as dopamine blockers (antagonists), should be avoided unless associated chorea is functionally disabling or associated with potentially violent flailing motions of the limbs that may result in self-injury.
