meagre except for case reports, and certain articles widely scattered in medical journals to which the practitioner has usually no access. The rapidly growing social and legal implications of the relationship between trauma and disease have served to focus medical attention on the subject and a treatise dealing with it is, therefore, welcome. This volume deals with the effect of a single trauma...

The most noteworthy point observed in our studies is the extraordinary duration of life and the relatively meagre requirements for sustenance of Leptospira icteroides. It is conceivable that under natural conditions opportunities might arise for the prolonged existence of Leptospira icteroides, so that possibly after a lapse of years, the disease might reappear without introduction from outside...

In this note, we consider the critical function of the selection from an entire visual scene of visual locations or objects for detailed or attentive processing. Such selection of some places at the expense of others is necessary because attention has only a meagre capacity (estimated at just 40 bits/second; Sziklai 1956). The same bottleneck implies that the selection process itself cannot gen...

INTRODUCTION To address the paucity of research around smokefree streets, we: (i) refined existing data collection methods; (ii) expanded on the meagre previous research in this area; and (iii) compared results by differing size of urban centre. METHODS We refined established methods; a solo observer simultaneously observed smoking and measured fine particulate levels (PM(2.5)) on a route of ...

Recent model-based phylogenetic approaches have expanded upon the incorporation of extinct lineages and their respective temporal information for calibrating divergence date estimates. Here, model-based methods are explored to estimate divergence dates and ancestral ranges for titanosaurian sauropod dinosaurs, an extinct and globally distributed terrestrial clade that existed during the extensi...

Although cases of primary non-bacterial pneumonia of unknown but probable vinal origin have been reported from Europe and America only meagre references to this condition have been made in Indian medical literature. Shone and Passmore (1943) have referred to an outbreak of pneumonitis associated with autohaemagglutination in Indian army personnel. No such cases have yet been reported from the i...

The literature of English spas has hitherto been meagre in the extreme; but Bath has recently done its best to make up for the deficiency. Book after book has emanated from that city, each in its turn giving an account of the history of the city and its baths, its climate, and the advantages to the invalid from a residence within it. This, the latest of the series, differs from its predecessors...

Even a superficial examination of the testes of various animals, for example rat and rabbit, is sufficient to make obvious that there are fundamental differences in their vascular supply and that the vessels display remarkable complexity both in their venous and arterial course. That morphological differences may exist between different animals has long been realized; thus de Graff (1677) clear...

noted the following conditions in the patient. Both pupils dilated ; tlie patient half drowsy ; the pulse almost imperceptible at the wrist. He ordered an emetic dose of sulphate of zinc and also stimulants. An Assistant-Surgeon afterwards visited the woman and approved of the treatment. Towards evening slie complained of a severe burning pain at the stomach, and died in the course of the night...

I draw attention to a recent breakthrough in the field of low energy pion physics: the consequences of the hidden symmetry of the QCD Hamiltonian have successfully been incorporated in the general dispersive framework for the ππ scattering amplitude, which is due to Roy. The meagre experimental information about the imaginary parts at and above 0.8 GeV suffices to unambiguously and accurately p...
