Fielding and Goldsmith in Leyden

Andrew Fielding Huxley 1917 - 2012

Sir Andrew Huxley (1917-2012) pioneered the physiology and biophysics of nerve conduction, skeletal muscle activation and tension generation. His ground-breaking work on nerve excitability of nerve in collaboration with Alan Hodgkin in the Cambridge Physiological Laboratory and the Plymouth Marine Biological Laboratory provided the basis for our understanding of how voltage-gated ion channels g...

Cambridge medical students at Leyden.

HIsToRUNs of medical education at Cambridge during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (Rolleston 1932; Winstanley 1935, 1958) have rightly drawn attention to the inadequacy of university provision for medical teaching.

Charcot-Leyden Crystals in Hodgkin's Lym-phoma

Herein, we reported on a middle-aged woman presented with painless cervical lymphadenopathy. Past medical history was not significant. Pathologic examination of incisional biopsy show partial effacement of lymph node architecture with many reactive inflammatory cells admixed with Reed-Sternberg cells, many Charcot-Leyden crystals, and noncaseating granuloma. Immunohistochemical staining was pos...
