We highlight how the downward revision in the distance to the star cluster associated with SGR1806–20 by Bibby et al. reconciles the apparent low contamination of BATSE short GRBs by intense flares from extragalactic magnetars without recourse to modifying the frequency of one such flare per 30 years per Milky Way galaxy. We also discuss the variety in progenitor initial masses of magnetars bas...

It became an independent republic in 1581 and a kingdom in 1806. The seventeenth century was its "golden age," a period when the Dutch Republic (1581-1795) was a major international force, creating a worldwide web of economic and political relatio...

ISSN 0001-5555 Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is characterised by a chronic course of years to decades of recurrent papulonodular lesions, each of which undergoes spontaneous regression after weeks or months (1).

Mushroom like the growth of skin tumour is a rare phenomenon although described already in 1806 by Alibert, who focused on mycosis fungicides. We identified only four case reports in PUBMED database using the terms "mushroom-like growth" and "skin tumour". We analysed our files and identified three elderly female patients (69 to 94 years old). Histological diagnosis was melanoma, Merkel cell ca...

Opioids were available in clinical practice since before the birth of modern anaesthesia--Setürner isolated morphine in 1806. They have a record of safety which is reflected in their high therapeutic ratios, especially the synthetic opioids introduced recently (table III). The most serious immediate adverse effect, respiratory depression, is a predictable effect related closely to analgesia. It...
