Sir Charles Sherrington FRS (1857–1952) was one of the most notable neurophysiologists of the twentieth century. After studies in Cambridge and London, he became a lecturer in physiology at St Thomas’s Hospital, London, then Professor of Physiology at Liverpool in 1895, and then Waynflete Professor of Physiology at Oxford (1913–35). His career focused on the structure and function of the nervou...

Monica Schoch-Spana, PhDa Curtailing the human suffering associated with a catastrophic infectious disease outbreak presents two key operational challenges for health professionals: caring for the sick and dying and halting the outbreak. In providing for these two central activities, one can assume a manager’s point of view, aptly engaged in a calculus of supply and demand. If x grams of anthra...

During the 1918 influenza pandemic, healthy young adults unusually succumbed to infection and were considered more vulnerable than young children and the elderly. The pathogenesis of this pandemic in the young adult population remains poorly understood. As this population is normally the least likely to die during seasonal influenza outbreaks, thought to be due to their appropriate pre-existing...

The H1N1 subtype of influenza A virus has caused substantial morbidity and mortality in humans, first documented in the global pandemic of 1918 and continuing to the present day. Despite this disease burden, the evolutionary history of the A/H1N1 virus is not well understood, particularly whether there is a virological basis for several notable epidemics of unusual severity in the 1940s and 195...

The Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 is spreading to numerous countries and causing many human deaths. Although the symptoms in humans are mild at present, fears are that further mutations in the virus could lead to a potentially more dangerous outbreak in subsequent months. As the primary immunity-eliciting antigen, hemagglutinin (HA) is the major agent for host-driven antigenic drift in A(H3N2) virus. Ho...

The virus which was responsible for the first benign wave of the Spanish Influenza in the spring of 1918, and which was to become extremely virulent by the end of the summer of 1918, was inextricably associated with the soldiers who fought during the First World War. The millions of young men who occupied the military camps and trenches were the substrate on which the influenza virus developed ...

A good deal of attention has been paid to the temperature coefficients of vital processes. The data available up to 1914-15 are for the most part collected in Kanitz' (1915) book. The chief interest of this work has centered about the "R. G. T." (van't Hoff) rule. In common with many chemical reactions, at ordinary temperatures the velocities of a variety of protoplasmic activities are found to...
