Landry paralysis and the Guillain-Barre syndrome are not distinct entities and the differentiation, between these two diseases, is artificial (Lewy, 1945). Haymaker and Kernohan (I949) in their review on these diseases, supporting Lewy's view, proposed a new terminology of Landy-Guillain-Barre syndrome. Landry in I859 made the earliest description of the Guillain-Barre syndrome. Osler in I892 d...

I was introduced to neurobiology, first by Don Kennedy, a great role model as a brilliant teacher-researcher, and later by Don Wilson, the genius behind the role of central rhythm generators in behavior. Kennedy and Wilson showed how much we have to learn about brains from studying the brain and behavior of invertebrate animals. Eric Kandel, Seymour Benzer, and Sydney Brenner inspired many of u...

On August 9th , 1963, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, the son of USA President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier, died after 39 hours of life, being born 5 1⁄2 weeks premature. This was not a so severe prematurity, but anyhow he was affected by HMD, and at that time only oxygen was available for neonates with respiratory failure. Of course such death gave a great prompt to the research in this fi...

Dear friends, the wife of senator John Kennedy, candidate for the U.S. presidency, is talking to you. In these very dangerous times, when the world peace is threatened by communism, it is necessary to have in the White House a leader able to guide our destinies with a fi rm hand. My husband has always cared for the interests of all the portions of our society who need the protection of a humani...

Quantitative studies of dye adsorption by bacteria have been made (Kennedy and Barbaro, 1953; Barbaro and Kennedy, 1954; Kennedy and Woodhour, 1956; Barbaro et al., 1956) in order to measure the degree of gram-positiveness, and to study the influence of several factors on the quantity of dye retained by the microorganisms. No attention has been given, however, to the applicability of the physic...

This article charts the history of bioethics in Britain through the work of the academic lawyer Ian Kennedy. From the late 1970s, Kennedy claimed that external oversight, which he termed ‘bioethics’, was needed to make medicine accountable to patients and the public. I believe these arguments provide a window onto the historical factors that generated the demand for bioethics, and help us deter...

We created transgenic mice that overexpress WT androgen receptor (AR) exclusively in their skeletal muscle fibers. Unexpectedly, these mice display androgen-dependent muscle weakness and early death, show changes in muscle morphology and gene expression consistent with neurogenic atrophy, and exhibit a loss of motor axons. These features reproduce those seen in models of Kennedy disease, a poly...
