Erratum for “Menabrea's Note on Waterhammer: 1858”

A precursor in waterhammer analysis – rediscovering

In 1883 Johannes von Kries published the theory of waterhammer in a study of blood flow in arteries. He derived the “Joukowsky formula” before Joukowsky (1898) and Frizell (1898) did. He considered skin friction in unsteady laminar flow and thus derived formulas for wave attenuation and line pack. The theory was confirmed by experimental results obtained in rubber hoses. In 1892 he published th...

Remarkable methodological advances in the past decade have expanded the application of liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis of biotherapeutics. Currently, LC/MS represents a promising alternative or supplement to the traditional ligand binding assay (LBA) in the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and toxicokinetic studies of protein drugs, owing to the rapid and ...

Bernard Sachs (1858-1944)

Bernard Sachs studied nervous system disorders in children in the United States during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In the late 1880s, Sachs described the fatal genetic neurological disorder called amaurotic family idiocy, later renamed Tay-Sachs disease. The disorder degrades motor skills as well as mental abilities in affected individuals. The expected lifespan of a child with Tay-...

Aldehyde oxidase (AOX) is a cytosolic enzyme expressed across a wide range of species, including guinea pig and rhesus monkey. These species are believed to be the best preclinical models for studying human AOX-mediated metabolism. We compared AOX activity in rhesus monkeys, guinea pigs, and humans using phthalazine and N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]acridone-4-carboxamide (DACA) as substrates and r...
