are published. The prevalence of this disease and the high mortality often associated with it make it most desirable that further investigations should be undertaken in order, if possible, to determine the etiological cause or causes and to devise methods of prevention and control. It will be, sufficient here to mention a few of the more recent contributions to the study of the general epidemio...

N. gonorrhoeae is a species which was originally highly sensitive to penicillin (Cohn and Seijo, 1944; Frisch, 1944; Carpenter, Bahn, Ackerman, and Stokinger, 1945; Lankford, 1945; Meads, Ory, Wilcox, and Finland, 1945; Romansky, 1946; Kenedy and Alfoldy, 1947; Romansky and Robin, 1947; Hughes and Carpenter, 1948; Hawks and Greey, 1948; Cohn, Grunstein, Goldberg, and Crane, 1949; Mills, 1949; S...

Calpains are activated by excessive light exposure and related to retinal degeneration. We investigated the protective effects of ((1S)-1-((((1S)-1-benzyl-3-cyclopropylamino-2,3-di-oxopropyl)amino)carbonyl)-3-methylbutyl)carbamic acid 5-methoxy-3-oxapentyl ester (SNJ-1945), a calpain inhibitor, against light-induced retinal degeneration in mice. SNJ-1945 was orally administrated at doses of 100...

are reported in literature. One such case was reported by de SoldenhofT (1937). Accidental swallowing of coins and lead pieces have been reported by Kini (1946). The psychological factors leading to swallowing of foreign bodies among soldiers have been discussed by Neustatter (1947) and Hallett (1947). In recent times due to food shortage eating of dried fruits as substitutes has led to the cau...

pavilion or hospital within the colony where this work can be carried out. This should ensure more adequate material and better facilities for the teaching of, not only undergraduates, but also post-graduates. But when our new organisation is completed will we be in Utopia? That depends as always on us as individuals. In the highly scientific age of the last century perhaps the machine has had ...

the retail trade of spices and drugs to the care of their servants ("Apothekerknechte"). One of these, Hans Minner, was to become the most important pharmacist of the German Middle Ages. Others became partners of their masters, e.g. Caspar Schneberger (c. 1495), who probably was the first apothecary to specialize exclusively in medical pharmaceutics. As retail traders in Zurich, "apothecaries" ...
