Hyponatraemia is very common in the ill patient. Over a 12-month period about 20% of all plasma samples analysed from the wards at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle, were hyponatraemic (Flear and Menzies, unpublished); and others have reported even higher frequencies (table I). Hyponatraemia is so common that on the one hand it tends to be dismissed mistakenly as laboratory error (Van Pee...

Milton Charles Winternitz

I do not remember my first meeting with Winternitz, but, when the full-time clinical experiment was launched in Baltimore, Winternitz was one of my first customers. He was and still is one of our ablest medical scientists. In his account of William Henry Welch and the Heroic Age of American Medicine, my brother, Simon, speaks of a group which included such brilliant men as MacCallum, Opie, G.H....

Milton : a New , Unique

Petrography: The interior of the stone consists of relatively small (mean grain size 1.6 mm), angular olivine grains (~73 vol%) in an iron metal matrix (Fig. 1). Ferric oxides are abundant. Samples easily fragment because of the weathering and numerous, probably preterrestrial, fractures. Olivine contains numerous small (typically 50 μm diameter) inclusions, visible in the SEM, that consist of ...

Broad - band X - ray measurements of the black hole candidate XTE J 1908 + 094

XTE J1908+094 is an X-ray transient that went into outburst in February 2002. After two months it reached a 2-250 keV peak flux of 1 to 2 × 10 erg cms. Circumstantial evidence points to an accreting galactic black hole as the origin of the the X-radiation: pulsations nor thermonuclear flashes were detected that would identify a neutron star and the spectrum was unusually hard for a neutron star...
