T'HE experimental production of infected lesions of the rabbit's cornea by intra-corneal inoculation of suspensions of pneumococci has been described by Ginsberg and Kaufman (1913) and by Robson and Scott (1943a, b). Cole, Hamilton-Paterson and Sorsby (1945) were unable to confirm the findings of Robson and Scott, although they used the same strain of pneumococcus. This divergence of results ha...

The distribution of sea level in the Mediterranean Sea is recovered for the period 1945-2000 by using a reduced space optimal interpolation analysis. The method involves estimating empirical orthogonal functions from satellite altimeter data spanning the period 1993-2005 that are then combined with tide gauge data to recover sea level fields over the period 1945-2000. The reconstruction techniq...

We investigate the mass profiles of clusters in MOND for a sample of galaxy groups and clusters with temperatures ranging from 0.7 to 8.9 keV. We confirm that a huge hidden mass component, about 1.5 to 4 times more massive than the total visible mass (at the last measured radii, dropping thereafter), is needed to account for the hydrostatic equilibrium of these clusters. For the massive systems...

OBJECTIVE To examine mortality in members of the two UK Houses of Parliament compared with the general population, 1945-2011. DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis of death rates and predictors of mortality in Members of Parliament (MPs) and members of the House of Lords (Lords). SETTING UK. PARTICIPANTS 4950 MPs and Lords first joining the UK parliament in 1945-2011. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUR...

IN a recent review of the literatume concerning the use of penicillin in ophthalmology, Rycroft (1945) makes no mention of the direct application of the undissolved salt to the surface of the eyeball. Sorsby (1945) in a similar review does just mention the method, itn referring to a paper byJuler and Young (1945) on infective corneal ulcer, but in a recent annotation in the Brit. Med. J1. (1946...

The control of salicylate therapy by frequent estimation of the blood level requires a simple method suitable for use in a routine clinical laboratory. The method of Brodie. Udenfriend, and Coburn (1944) is generally accepted on account of its accuracy but is somewhat too laborious for a large number of estimations. A number of other methods are known but none has found general acceptance. Some...

The relationship between the prolonged use of pneumatic powered tools and the development of Raynaud's phenomenon was first described by Loriga (1911), and subsequently by Hunter, McLaughlin, and Perry (1945), and by Lindqvist and Flemberg (1945). This association with high frequency vibratory tools was later extended to other industrial processes. Telford, McCann, and MacCormack (1945) and Aga...
