description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2006Publisher:Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Authors: Martin, Paul M.V.; Martin-Granel, Estelle;Martin, Paul M.V.; Martin-Granel, Estelle;The term epidemic (from the Greek epi [on] plus demos [people]), first used by Homer, took its medical meaning when Hippocrates used it as the title of one of his famous treatises. At that time, epidemic was the name given to a collection of clinical syndromes, such as coughs or diarrheas, occurring and propagating in a given period at a given location. Over centuries, the form and meaning of the term have changed. Successive epidemics of plague in the Middle Ages contributed to the definition of an epidemic as the propagation of a single, well-defined disease. The meaning of the term continued to evolve in the 19th-century era of microbiology. Its most recent semantic evolution dates from the last quarter of the 20th century, and this evolution is likely to continue in the future. The meaning has been evolving since Hippocrates first used this word 25 centuries ago.

he initials VDB are well known to collectors of the Lincoln penny, the obverse (front surface) of which reflects the longest-running design in the history of US coinage. In 1909, in its first coinage, VDB appears in embossed format at the bottom of the coin’s reverse, in honor of its designer, Victor David Brenner. The initial San Francisco Mint coin, the 1909-S VDB, remains a sought-after rarity; most collectors never fill the open-mouthed, empty “1909S VDB” hole in their penny albums. Despite a tradition of artists’ signing their names or initials in coinage, controversy arising from the prominence of the VDB initials resulted in their removal that same year. Tucked into the left lowermost ridge of the bust of Abraham Lincoln, Brenner’s initials were restored to the obverse of Lincoln pennies coined since 1918. Discernable by magnification, the inconspicuous placement of Brenner’s signature imitates that of a Sicilian engraver, Euainetos, whose work Brenner described as having an “extraordinary decorative sense woven into every line, giving to the empty spaces as much charm as to the modeled surfaces.” Brenner, born Viktoras Baranauskas in Lithuania in
